    <content type="html">I wrote a &lt;s&gt;Five&lt;/s&gt; Six Things, which is posted &lt;a href="http://sg1-five-things.livejournal.com/349814.html?thread=5706614#t5706614"&gt;here for Part 1&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://sg1-five-things.livejournal.com/349814.html?thread=5706870#t5706870"&gt;her for Part 2&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://sg1-five-things.livejournal.com/349814.html?thread=5707126#t5707126"&gt;here for Part 3&lt;/a&gt; on &lt;span style='white-space: nowrap;'&gt;&lt;a href='http://sg1-five-things.livejournal.com/profile'&gt;&lt;img src='https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif' alt='[livejournal.com profile] ' style='vertical-align: text-bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' width='16' height='16'/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href='http://sg1-five-things.livejournal.com/'&gt;&lt;b&gt;sg1_five_things&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.  It was just slightly more than twice the comment length limit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those who want it all in one convenient chunk can read it here.  In the version here, I have corrected an error and put the six times in correct chronological order.  I also cleared up one word redundancy (a constant problem I need to be vigilant against as I write).  On the entries at The Pentangular Gate they are in their original, more dramatically effective order, and I (&lt;i&gt;gasp!&lt;/i&gt;) use a word twice in one sentence.  You makes your pick and takes your chances, I guess.  The Pentangular Gate order is the order in which they originally occurred to me, the order here is what happens when the little purse-mouthed nit-picker of an editor in my brain says "They're all in chronological order except for &lt;i&gt;that one&lt;/i&gt;!  Fix it!  Fix it!  Fix it NOW!"  Sigh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Title:&lt;/b&gt;  Six Times General Hammond Almost Retired Before He Did&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Seasons:&lt;/b&gt;  One through Seven&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Spoilers:&lt;/b&gt;  Well, that would give away some of my choices.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Warnings:&lt;/b&gt;  There is an illegal sixth thing!  The rules have been bent!  The boundaries have been transgressed!  Civilization is imperiled!  AAAAAAAAAH!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Synopsis:&lt;/b&gt;  SG-1 seems to bring out the best and the worst in everybody, and George Hammond is no exception.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Disclaimer:&lt;/b&gt;  If you come after me for a bit of fic in which I made no permanent alterations to the characters, which profiteth me not, except as much as I receive reviews, well then I retire - just like Jack O'Neill!  Not having his stamina, I don't think I'd last a whole year before I came back though.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="cut-wrapper"&gt;&lt;span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___1" class="cuttag"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class="cut-open"&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-text"&gt;&lt;a href="https://thothmes.dreamwidth.org/14237.html#cutid1"&gt;Six Times General Hammond Amost Retired Before He Did&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-close"&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___1" aria-live="assertive"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=thothmes&amp;ditemid=14237" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>
