"Are crossovers allowed? Crossovers with Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Universe are allowed, but the focus of the piece must be on the Atlantis characters. Artists, keep in mind that if your crossover is very specific, it could make it more difficult for an author to claim your piece. Also, authors are not obligated to write crossovers with other fandoms. This is an SGA challenge, so authors can't be expected to be familiar with other fandoms."
The problem in deviating from that to allow free-for-all crossovers, is that the complement-makers join the challenge expecting to do something for SGA - or maybe at least a Stargate fandom. They can't be expected to know the non-Stargate fandom at all so you might not get anyone wanting to do complementary works. However, in the proposed structure, I guess the comment party phase would let you know if anyone knew the other fandom and was interested in doing a complement. If no one was keen, it might be better not to then sign on to this challenge (there are multifandom crossover challenges around).
However, the SGA fans involved in this Bang might not want SGA diluted with a non-Stargate fandom, what with there not currently being any other Big Bangs in SGA. So let's see if anyone replies to this to comment further.
