First off, don't worry in the fanfic realm. Truth is, SGA's female characters are just not that interesting. I think they have potential (and, currently, Keller is my latest hope for a fully fleshed, flawed, funny female, though that may not come for fore...), but when the source material doesn't give you much to work with, it's hard to write them.
Now, if this were original writing, then, yes, I'd say there's an element of concern. BUT, funnily, I'm running across the same issue right now--the same concern. And it's fear. I'm afraid that my women won't be real. I'm afraid they'll be Mary Sues. I'm afraid that I won't do them justice. All this makes them harder to write than the men, though, really, none of those reasons make sense. Because, after all, why should those same fears not also be connected to my male characters?
I really don't know.
But still -- buck up! You'll throw some more women in, and all will be well. And, sure, write a Teyla fic. Or a Weir fic. Or even a Carter or Keller fic. See what comes out...
