Well, you do find fried Oreos odd, so all is not lost.
It's so cool you're doing a fic with your mom!
Your collaboration is so different than everyone else's! I'm really loving the idea of it, even though I'm not certain I myself could pull it off. Then again, I've read some stories with brilliant ideas and plots, and a few good scenes, and the whole way through I'm just thinking: now, if I could've written this, the fic would've been perfect. I know I could never just fully give up my ideas to someone else, but it would definitely be interesting to write someone else's idea and plot if it was something I was interested in.
It doesn't sound unbalanced to me, just a really different way of doing things. And the reasons you have for splitting it that way seem great, too. I suck at plot, but my words and my plots/ideas/etc kind of go hand in hand, which is another reason I don't think I could do it your way, but as I said your way is really interesting, and I'd love to see how it works out (though I've never really seen SG-1).
And I think what you say about the difference between discussing the fic in person and over the internet is significant as well. Sometimes I think it's so easy to communicate over the internet...but the discussion of ideas requires a real back and forth you just can't get without being in the room with someone. Even the phone loses a lot. Besides, I hate phones.
