Look it's wank about Stargate fic on fandom wank! (I have no idea why so many people actually think there is a subtext to any of the Stargates. Digging for deeper nuances in any of them seems to me like looking for subtlety in a hammer to the head.)
I get objections to outright plagiarism but deciding that no one else should have a right to play in your fanfic universe and that to read fic (or hear of it presumably) that messes with it hurts YES HURTS AND THUS PEOPLE SHOULD HAVE RESPECT FOR YOUR CREATION can not but make me boggle at the lack of self-awareness. For added delight one of the people involved IS ONE OF THE PEOPLE BEHIND DREAMWIDTH. You know, the place where fandom can be safe against, er, people not wanting them to write fanfic.
