- Why I love them or why I wish they'd go die in a fire.
I have a someone complicated relationship with Jack. I mostly like Jack, because he's a lot of fun and a good addition to DW; but it makes me less fond of serious Jack on TW largely because it not how I see the character combined with how it took so long for them to answer why TW Jack was so different from DW-Jack, and then turn around and write him pretty much as fun Jack when he goes back to DW; basically I like Jack but think he needs better writing.
- My OTP for the character
I'm never even sure its right to OTP Jack with anyone, he's kind of made for multishipping. But I like Jack/Ianto well enough, enjoy a side of Jack/Donna or Jack/Tosh, and never object to the ol' bit of OT3 with Doctor/Rose/Jack
- My favorite gen relationship with this character.
I like Jack-Gwen as long as it's platonic. as a subset of Jack-Team; but I pretty much do prefer Jack-Doctor/Rose the three of them out seeing the universe.
- An unpopular opinion about this character.
I have a hard time reading fanfic about Jack because fanfic world being what it is, people are inclined to write Jack as simply gay rather than bi/omni/pan-sexual (whatever term we feel like using now). But that's kind of an issue I have with broader fandom than entirely an unpopular Jack opinion.
- One thing I wish would [have] happen[ed] with this character in canon.
I wish TW had done a better job remembering that Jack loved both the Doctor and Rose. They remembered Jack/Doctor well enough but I don't ship Jack/Doctor, I ship Jack/Doctor/Rose and want my OT3 validation.
- An idea I have for the character that I haven't written yet/won't ever write for whatever reason
I've have a couple Jack vid ideas (one that even got almost done but I never finalized and posted) and in spite of how much I hate the idea of Jack as the face of Boe I have worked out a (now very AU) way I could see that playing out between hm and the Doctor (and Rose) over the eons.
