Why This Must Be Read: Hammond Alphabet Soup went live on August 4th, on what would have been Don S. Davis' 66th birthday. In tribute to the man who brought General George Hammond to vibrant, wonderful life, and in salute to the best general to ever grace the halls of the SGC, 27 authors wrote 28 different ficlets, inspired by the letters of the alphabet. Shorter ficlets are posted at the link in full, with links to the authors' LJs for comments; longer fics are excerpted, with links to the authors' LJs for the rest of the fic.
There's George's backstory: his time in Vietnam, his first meeting with his wife and his thoughts of her after her death. There's young Lieutenant Hammond in 1969, and General Hammond musing on sending SG-1 thirty years into the past. We get his thoughts on SG-1, from the earliest days of the team to the moment he leaves for Washington, and a glimpse at how they regard him. There are encounters with Janet, with Bra'tac, with Jacob, with Maybourne; there are team debriefings, red phones, Hammond's concern for his people, and the courage of an "ordinary" man and grandfather who juggles the most extraordinary on a daily basis. All unique. All delightful. All well worth reading.
Full disclaimer: I had the privilege of organizing this anthology and writing two of the ficlets. Clear skies, George.
