In most fandoms for period dramas (excluding things like Austen, Gaskell, etc) the modern AUs tend to outweigh the canon-era fics. I get why- not everyone wants to go on a research bender to write a drabble- but it frustrates me too. I like these shows because they're historical!

[cushlamochree]

That would make sense! I think what threw me was the fact that it was a non-fiction history book or something? IDK.

Personally, I'm not someone who usually cares a lot about historical exactitude, as long as you have the basic chronology right. So I'd rather see something that's historical even if it's not entirely accurate. But that's just me I guess.

Do you think that's why they do it? It baffles me, because it seems to strip the fandom of its most important feature. But maybe they just find two of the actors hot.

[(Anonymous)]

It's the only reason I can think of. I mean, if they find the actors that hot, they might as well just be writing RPF.

[(Anonymous)]

Ayrt

Maybe they'd be uncomfortable writing genuine RPF, but can write modernised characters who look like the actors?

(I find it even odder when people write LOTR or GOT modern AUs. If they don't want to read the books, how hard is it to watch a film/TV programme a few times?)

I gotta say it throws me out of Austenfic when they don't specify it's an AU and they have the characters wearing ties and zips in the dresses. I don't read Austen modern AUs or even Lizzie Bennet Diaries fic because I love the original (I watch LBD but don't read the fic).

[(Anonymous)]

Have you ever seen Lost in Austen? I did enjoy that.

[(Anonymous)]

I did quite like Lost in Austen, but again, not enough to read the fic.

For me it depends on the fandom and on the characters. Some characters can stay the same people transplanted out of their natural environment; some can't.

(Lord of the Rings and Hobbit AUs drive me around the bend, because the overwhelming majority of the characters have most -- or all! -- of their depth in their history and background.)
