I spent several years writing an enormous fantasy AU for a certain fandom. When it was done, I was really upset about having done so much work (and it was WORK). I spent the next however many years trying to cut it down to a semi-manageable length. Then I spoke to a copyright lawyer who explained how simple it would be to file off the serial numbers. The two main characters (who were the only canon ones) are exactly the same. I changed the names and some of their backstory, which was the hardest part. But the voices are completely canon and the two main characters are canon in almost every way.

I've been reading it to a writing group for two years and they love it. And only one person has ever taken a stab at guessing the source material. However, it took several years for me to be emotionally ready to make those sort of changes.

Same poster. If OP doesn't feel comfortable, they should go with what is. Not all fan fiction is meant to be original fiction. Maybe play around with a short work and see how it feels. Turning AUs into original fiction isn't mandatory.
