Reactions and Reviews

Why This Must Be Read:

I'm rather shocked that this hasn't been recced already. It is one of the quintessential Jack/Daniel fics.

A parody of Bridgett Jones' Diary, the DJD takes us through a year with Daniel, the most neurotic, self-destructive, self-conscious, and plagued archeologist/linguist to walk this Earth (or any other planets you can gate to). The whole of the piece is laugh-yourself-sick funny. It is completely absurd and its absurdity is its brilliance.

Also, strangely enough, there's lots of hot Jack/Daniel action and enough angst (comidically rendered) to kill a Not-Monkey.

The first part gets a little gross with describing a planet that might as well be called Planet Sewer, but after that the ick-factor is mostly contained in two words: Guacamole Anguish. Read the story to find out what I mean. ;)

"Dr. Jackson's Diary," basically a brilliant rip-off/variation/parody of "Bridget Jones' Diary" as written by Daniel Jackson from Stargate. GodDAMN, that was the funniest thing I've ever read in my life. The author was a magnificent chain-smoking fiercely intellectual f***ing brilliant English socialist litterateur, and it's simply not around online anymore, but DAMN, that was so good. I think I have it on my laptop someplace, actually.

Holy crap, that was a masterwork, and looooooooong ...
