An excerpt from the print zine publisher is here.
Summaries
"Daniel Jackson proved himself a security risk when he helped the Tollans in Enigma. Maybourne hasn't forgotten." [1]
"After Sha're's death, Daniel sinks into a depression. But is deep enough for him to attempt suicide, or could someone be trying to kill him?" [2]
Award Nominations
The story was nominated for a Stargate Fan Award in the category "Best Novel" (Gen) in 2003.[3]
Some people recommend it because it has "Lots of angsting and Danny whumping." [4]
Others dislike it for exactly the same reason.
Print Zine
AllGen Press republished an expanded and revised version of the story in 2003 as a fanzine with several illustrations by Lupe.
From Lupe:
When I was offered the opportunity to illustrate Dawn's wonderful story I jumped at the chance. Not only was Dawn one of my favorite authors, but I had read Suicidium and I loved everything about it. The proposal was for me to do a whole series of drawings for the story and as luck would have it, I actually had the time to do them. [5]
Reactions and Reviews
Hurt comfort - bloody brilliant when it's done well (Pough, Poss), painfully bad when it's not (DawnC's Suicidium comes to mind, which started off promisingly enough then descended into 'how many ways can we hurt Danny today?'). [6]
