, I agree with people about mundane AUs for supernatural/fantasy canons. Why would you want to take one of the coolest and most defining aspects of your characters and get rid of it? That's how I feel.

I don't have much of a horse in that race, but I find it funny/entertaining when it's done right. My favorite example (and it's canon, so not a fic, but a good example of why I think it's funny this remove the supernatural element and make things normal) is the anime The Devil is a Part Timer -- fanservice bits aside, it's a funny anime -- the devil is banished from the netherworld, and ends up working at a McDonald's, so we see his high-strung perfectionist mercenary attitude applied in the most mundane setting ever. And trying to see a supernatural being adjust to being normal etc. It's just funny (to me). But it depends how it's done and what not. I understand what you mean.

I'm not trying to give anyone a hard time for liking this kind of AU. It's totally a you-do-you thing. But I don't think the type of original fiction story you describe is the same thing at all. The whole point, in original fiction, is that this character who has powers (or is special in some way), has to live as a normie. The premise isn't, "Imagine this character never was special and never had powers, they've always just been a normie." The premise is, "They were special and had powers but now they can't use them, or they've lost them for some reason, and they have to live as a normie."

In order for original fiction to be comparable to a fanfic AU, you'd have to have a show where the first two seasons were Merlin, and then suddenly in season three the show became Dawson's Creek. Same actors, same character names, but now everyone's a normal high school student.
