Jamie ought to be, and usually is, terrific fun — to watch, to read and to write.
This could be long; as Frazer Hines says, Jamie loved the ladies. Victoria and Sam (though these ships may be one-sided: Jamie → Victoria and Sam → Jamie). Kirsty and Fiona, should we be in a continuity where Fiona exists. I've written Jamie/Peri, so she's in. I could see him trying to flirt with most of the other female companions — certainly with Jo, Tegan or Vicki. Zoë might work as a friend-with-benefits, but I don't think she'd have any patience with actual romance. And while I have written Polly/Jamie and Michelle Leuppi/Jamie, there was precious little romance there, either.
The Doctor is without question Jamie's best friend, with Zoë coming in second.
Putting the Doctor into category 3 rather than 2 probably counts for one section of the fanbase :-) And my preference for him to have an actual happy ending seems to put me at odds with the authors of most official spinoffs.
I'd have liked to see him make an appearance in the SJA. For preference, in a hijacked SIDRAT or other home-made time machine, accompanied by Zoë, with the sort of interaction they had in episode 8 of The War Games. Failing that, married to Victoria.
