(Anonymous) 2015-08-20 12:13 am (UTC)(link)Depends on the canon, I think. If people discovering new alien races is a thing that happens in the canon, then I'd say it's not really AU, it's just extrapolating from existing canon. Something like Star Trek, meeting new alien cultures and being experimented on by them is pretty much the cast's job. If, however, the canon is much more limited in its alien races (say, invasion stories where there's only one alien enemy), then introducing a new species would be jarring. I ... I think I still wouldn't say it's AU, though, unless it's contradicting canon in some way? If you're giving a character's canon injury a new origin, then it's AU, but if you're just giving the character a new injury in a canon-plausible way that simply wasn't mentioned yet during canon, then it's not AU, it's just future!fic or expanding the universe.
It depends to an extent on what canon you're using and its parameters, but I think I disagree with the above. I wouldn't call that AU.
