So, I'm trying to finish the bloody SG-1 novel and thought I had a nice neat way to finish it all figured out but I just needed to check some details with an early episode (we're talking season 1, in case anyone was wondering, since Daniel and Jack needed to visit a particular planet for a particular reason) only to find that something in canon means I can't quite do what I wanted.
Because now I know what I want to do breaches canon, I just can't feel happy about writing the storyline like I wanted because if I know it's messed up then other people will as well. Well, that just happens to be the way I feel about it, what do you think? ;)
