I wonder if my non-dislike of Kirk comes in part from reading fic (well, Star Trek novels) before really watching the show - I'd seen a couple eps and a couple movies when I saw the show (and I still haven't seen the whole thing, I don't think, though I read novelizations of all the eps...) Much of the fic were written by Spock-fans, and, while gen, was awfully K/S subtexty, so I got to know Kirk "through Spock's eyes" as it were. The same thing happened with Clark, actually. So when I did watch the show, I was primed to like the char already, and could easily reject the parts I didn't care for.
SGA, on the other hand, I watched 3 seasons without reading any fic, so while certain of my tastes have definitely been influenced by the fic, my basic opinions were shaped on my own...
