For my mundane procedural shows, I like fantastical AUs. Super heroes, urban magic, fairytales, sci-fi. I generally prefer that the characters are still somehow connected to their jobs and lives, but I'll read more out-there ones. I read a CSI NY Sheik AU that I liked, so Medieval or Roman AUs are fun for modern-day canons too. I also like worldbuilding AUs, so A/B/O and Soulmarks that actually give a thought to how the world would change in these situations.

For my supernatural/sci-fi/fantasy canons, I tend to stick to more canon AUs. I don't like modern AUs, except for reincarnation AUs in Tolkien, but only if they actually conform to canon (so Elves didn't die, etc.). I like canon divergence because I like what-if stories and it allows for characters who might otherwise never interact to meet each other. I've recently become interested in reversal AUs like where Poe and Rey were always part of the First Order. But, the idea of Luke working in a coffee shop doesn't appeal to me.

However, I am much more lenient when it comes to visual media. Seeing characters like Thranduil being portrayed in a business suit, or watching a LOTR 50 Shades of Grey fanvid AU are fun for me. It's easier to see them as a sort of Elsewhere of the canon, which I can't look at them like that in fic.

Generally, I don't care for apocalypse or dystopian AUs unless there's excellent worldbuilding and the tone is generally more positive.
