Dear Diary... / The [Captain's] Log

[shibela.livejournal.com]

 
In the course of my previous, ongoing genre search, I ran across "Rodney McKay's Diary" by rageprufrock (McShep Pairing & Rodney's Journal, of course), and now have a craving for stories where someone in the Pegasus Galaxy (Atlantis Expedition & Pegasus natives alike) keeps some kind of journal - could be personal, could be work-related, could be some combination of both. 



Some other examples of stories that have the characters keeping some form of journal:

"Traces Through Time" by Icarus (icarusancalion ) -- McShep Pairing -- Rodney's Journal

"Last man standing" by ravensilverwing  -- No Pairings -- Ronon's Journal

"The Very Secret Diaries..." by Nickeyb (teawith ) -- McShep Pairing -- John's, Rodney's, Carson's, & Kavanagh's Journals

Parts 2 & 4 of mardahin 's "Ripple in the Space Between" series:  "Letters to a John Doe (A Diary of Sorts)" & "Captain's Log" -- series pairings include McShep, Lorne/Parrish, Cadman/Beckett -- Female Atlantis Scientist's 'Journal' & Male Non-Atlantis Military's 'Journal,' both OC's


ETA:  Found for me by spacedmonkey  & definitely Not-To-Be-Missed is liketheriver 's "So Little Space, So Much Time" -- No Pairings -- Could be considered John's, Rodney's, & Teyla's Journals **Warnings for Image-Heavy Content**




All pairings, if any, are acceptable - please label the pairings where necessary.

Thanks in advance!!


P.S.  If anyone has any ideas on other tags...I was a wee little bit at a loss.  My thanks for any adjustments!

Warning, this is kinda sad & angsty:
C:/Diary by davechicken: Far from home, Rodney takes notes. (1,046 words) "It is me, though. Unless someone else called Rodney McKay is writing here."

[jenna_marianne]

Oh, and this one! Total cracky fun:
The Ninja Logs {File #001} by of_evangeline: John's POV. The guards doubled at nightfall; I had to conceal myself more thoroughly and eliminate all sound from my movement. My extra shirt, now a makeshift ninja mask, allows me to do both flawlessly. I am a shadow amongst shadows and a whisper in deaf ears. The voices in my head tell me not to ask how, but to just believe.

Thank you! Talk about spanning the spectrum here emotion-wise... LOL! *loves Ninja!John* :D

[jenna_marianne]

LOL, totally. It was nice to look over Ninja John after reading captured (?) amnesia Rodney. :D

[jenna_marianne]

Oh, and I really like your diary_entries tag! I have totally adopted it!

[shibela.livejournal.com]

YAY! LOL! I actually need to clean that grouping of tags up - re-name them or something because I think I have some of the diary_entries mixed in with the letters tag, which may actually have general documentation lumped in there as well. My tags got a little out-of-control. :D

I wrote "Rescuing Rodney", a 2-part McShep fic that starts here http://helenkacan.livejournal.com/245529.html#cutid1

It's John's journal.

And, BTW, thanks for listing all of those other journal fics. Yay!

[shibela.livejournal.com]

Thank you!! Such a lovely story.


And, you're welcome! I'm always happy to share the wealth, so-to-speak. :D

Also, your story pinged my memory for another story I had read, which apparently I had also failed to bookmark. Thanks to spacedmonkey, it was found. In case you're interested, it's linked above in my original entry/request. Happy Reading!

Plowshare (http://community.livejournal.com/sga_genficathon/61956.html) by liketheriverrun, PG-13, gen, has personal journal entries, mission reports, letters etc in its narrative.

[shibela.livejournal.com]

Thank you!! I'm looking forward to reading this. :D

A Slip of the Tongue: When John betrays Rodney's trust he makes it up to him by leaving his journal for Rodney to read. McShep,NC-17. http://www.wraithbait.com/viewstory.php?sid=10910

[shibela.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I've been enjoying reading this one.... :D

It's not the focus of the story, but in The Fiery Hound of Lo’r Mawra by skoosiepants (http://skoosiepants.livejournal.com/252288.html?style=mine), circumstances reveal that John has a journal (in which he's apparently given names to all the little timewasting prime/not prime type games that he and Rodney play on missions.)

[shibela.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I haven't read this one yet - it's been in my TBR pile for a bit - & look forward to finally reading it. :D

Though we don't get to see any of the entries, Rodney's journal is a plot point in Rewind, Reboot, Restore (http://www.goldenmaze.com/rewind.htm) by Rheanna (McShep).

[shibela.livejournal.com]

I had forgotten that Rodney kept a journal in that story. I'm looking forward to re-reading it. Thank you! :D

[slytherin-gypsy.livejournal.com]

You're welcome! It's a wonderful fic and worth many re-reads :)

Maybe?

[mikikat.livejournal.com]

I think Rodney keeps a journal whilst missing in But Never The Nights

Thank you! I look forward to reading it. :D

I have one where Alternate!Rodney kept a journal in Daedalus Variations. Warnings: Dark; insanity, canon character deaths.
