Stargate SG-1: canon vs. fanon vs. head canon
This has come up while I've been working on a few stories. It's been awhile since I've done a full rewatch so a lot of the details are fuzzy. I'm never sure if they are canon, fanon, or just my own personal canon as I've interpreted events.
I was rereading a few older stories I started where Jack and Kawalsky have been friends for a long time. In my head that was just canon. Then I rewatched Children of the Gods and Kawalsky mentions that in all the time he served with Jack he never knew he had a son. Hmmm, that sounds weird. If they had been good friends why wouldn't he know that. So my head canon got all mixed up.
So opinions:
Jack and Kawalsky: friends for a long time, but didn't keep in contact after Jack had Charlie; friends for a long time and stayed close ignoring the comment in Children of the Gods; were never really friends, just worked together?
Opinions?
Are there any other instances of details that have a canon version (if people remember), a fanon one (that has persisted through different fics) or something you just have in your head?
I'm just curious. I've been writing a lot of alternate realities and just trying to keep the fact straight from one to the other to the actual canon is getting confusing.
