finabair and amilyn. This fic wouldn't be half what it is without them, and any errors you find are mine that I put in without their knowledge or over their objections. All hail, JennJenn and Amy!
( Jack routinely drops impossible tasks on Sam's shoulders and walks away. Sometimes it doesn't even seem that he cares enough to watch to see if she can pull it off. )
All in all, I'm not unhappy with the fic. I just keep thinking that a better way to do it would be to do a series of scenes with Carter playing pool. One from each season or so. That way her changes in attitude, confidence and friendships could be shown through her actions at the pool table: how she bets, how she views the people watching her, how the pool playing regulars treat her, how all that changes over the years. That scenario keeps getting in the way of me really liking this piece. Weird, but true. This one feels like to separate stories mashed together with one a weak connecting through line. I love bits of it, but I'm still not sure the whole thing works.
In the end, though, I like that I could write Carter at all, even in this short piece.
This was written for the SamCarter Ficathon over at![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
