A note from Jez...

19-08-02 - Well Ness asked me if I wanted to say something on our shiny new page. At first, I didn’t think I had anything to write about, but after reading what she’d written, I felt inspired.

Stumbling across the SJD (or SJA as it was at the time) is what got me involved in this fandom. I found this site full of wonderful stories that were soley focused on a pairing that I was interested in (obsessed may be a better word). I found a link to the samandjack mailing list and there I’ve stayed for the last three and a half years.

Ness has maintained this site by herself over that time (along with her duties as list mum) and I think she’s done a fantastic job, especially considering how busy her RL is. So, when she was asking for help, I jumped at the chance to be involved. I have a lot more time on my hands than she does and I wanted to help. After all, she’s doing this for us. We have a page here where we don’t have to wade through the Sam/Daniel fic or NoRomo stories. When we click on a story, we’re guarenteed a Sam and Jack story. How great is that?!

The new site design was really necessary if we were to get the SJD up and going again. It was wonderful having so many sections, but with the sheer volume of fic that is being written now (which is great!) it was impossible to try and keep up-to-date and maintain some sort of sanity. So, when Ness made the suggestion of putting the site on a diet, I agreed wholeheartedly. It means we keep our site, we keep our sanity and, most importantly, we keep our founding archivist.

I hope you all take a moment to thank Ness sometime, because she’s helped make our little corner of the fandom a great place to be.

Thanks Ness!
