I don't know why he backdated it on DW but he posted the story in 2008. --Doro 22:20, 9 April 2011 (UTC)

In at least one place on his LJ (or maybe now DW) he mentions his LJ being hacked in 2008 and losing (some) content from it -- that may be the reason? So it might indeed have been first posted in 2005 and reposted in 2008, or not. I don't know, but can try to figure out more when I get a chance. --Sk 22:32, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
It was hacked in 2008 sometime after he posted it, also in 2008. The earliest delicious bookmark to the hacked version is from May 2008. As far as I remember he takes some canon developments into account that don't fit with a 2005 date anyway. I read and saved the story a few days after it was posted and everyone recced and linked to it and that was in May 2008.--Doro 22:52, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
Not only does that make sense given the dates of reccing and of course you remembering it, but you're right, it'd be very odd for the story to have first been posted 20 days before Ronon first showed up in SGA canon, per the shiny new timeline! *g* --Sk 23:17, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
