My journal hasn't exploded yet

[sid]

but I think it's just a matter of time. :-)

The Jack/Daniel Baby-A-Thon currently contains 18 commentfics, and FOUR HUNDRED COMMENTS!

Right here

I'm getting the impression that there are a few more folks than I realized who swoon when Jack or Daniel call each other 'Baby'.

Just an impression.  ;-)

I'm really stoked by the response, not just because of the great ficlets I get to read, but because it shows the fandom is still going strong. Yay!

[sid]

We're unstoppable! \o/

That's awesome! Whoo-hoo for endearment fic.

[sid]

It's entirely awesome. I had no idea what to expect. :-)

[tejas.livejournal.com]

I don't exactly swoon, but *damn*, it's fun to play with this kind of thing. :-)

[sid]

Sure, it works for humor or lust or loss or love. One endearment fits all. :-)

[tejas.livejournal.com]

Yeppers! That it does!

I am not one of them, thus why I have stayed away.

Pet names. *shudders*

[sid]

Aw. That's okay. To each their own. :-)

But, here's one you might like. Probably the only one, lol. Daniel calls Jack *a* baby: here.

I think its great the response you got. Shows the fandom is still chugging along, it showcases a rich assortment of creativity and how we each view Jack and Daniel in our own minds. I personally love it because its a prompt that gets ideas flowing and makes me wanna write, instead of having all sorts of stuff cluttering up the grey matter.

I think you should do another one, or have someone else "host"...the only topic that kinda makes me cringe is 'lost'...I see alot of tissues getting passed around.

*Waves*

I refrained from calling this the 'First Annual' babyathon, but I think it could certainly fly again, based on the strong response this one's getting. :-)

re: the surprise that so many people love "baby": YES! I used to get kind of shamefaced about loving schmoop in a fandom this angsty, but then i discovered that tons of people love it. Baby the same way. I love that particular endearment; I think it's a very likely thing that jack would call daniel, and just YES.

(remember "Slipping" by paian? LOLOL.)

what a great idea.

[sid]

I'm not sure if it was jd_junkie's idea or mine. We're such co-enablers, lol.

I only found out recently that 'Baby' is a canon endearment for Jack. He says it to Sara in Cold Lazarus. You wouldn't believe how happy that made me. :-)

He says it to Sara in Cold Lazarus.

OMG - really? How did I miss that?

::bounces excitedly::

[sid]

In the hospital, near the end, when the real Jack and SG-1 arrive on the scene:

SARA
(shocked)
Jack?

O'NEILL
Sara! Are you all right?
[Sara looks at O'Neill, her mouth opening and closing in wordless shock. She turns to look back to the room where the alien O'Neill is, then turns back to the real O'Neill. He hugs her tightly.]

O'NEILL
It's me. This is me, baby.

SQUEEEEEE!!!

::squees along with you::

That is so cool! Must go re-watch after NCIS (Torri Higgenson is guest starring tonight)

[discodiva76.livejournal.com]

It's been the "fun-nest" (ok not a word really I know!) "A-Thon" for ages.....I sooooo totally see this word as being one of the very few endearments that either Jack or Daniel would use......


I love my fandom with a passion, always have, always will.....the friends I've made from it are kind, articulate, funny and wonderful human beings who I will keep in touch with for a very long time, if not forever with some of them.....

5 years ago I'd have laughed if I'd have written that last paragraph......I'm glad I've been able to...


{{{{{Thank you all}}}}}} - you keep this "reader of fic" going.....


Deeds xx

[sid]

The readers like it, the writers like it, I'll just assume the lurkers like it.... \o/

'tis a lovely fandom in so many, many ways. {{{hugs}}}

[jd-junkie.livejournal.com]

I'm quietly hugging this ficathon to myself and squeeing.
I'm hugging you as well of course .... baby. :-))

[sid]
