The thing with the SGC I chalked up to personal attachment, a kind of grumpy "hey, My Team is the good guys, dammit!"
Hee, yes, exactly.
the thing with the Ori not appearing and the Goa'uld getting several mentions I suspect may be unfamiliarity with SG-1 canon, since it wasn't signposted as an AU. I dunno. Anyway, I was willing to work with it, since it was part of the setup, but I did find it a little discomfiting.
Right. It felt a bit like the author had picked all of their SG-1 info from fannish osmosis.
I tried to work with it, but just couldn't. As my roommate will attest to, as she was the one who had to listen to me ask aloud, "If the Goa'uld are back, where's Jack (because, to me, the Goa'uld equal Jack's story in a lot of ways)? What happened to the Ori? Where does this story depart from canon?"
