I feel you, anon. I was deep into The X-Files fandom for many years, and 99% of the time, AU just meant canon divergence. Even if it was only minorly canon divergent, we'd still call it an AU.

There were a few full-on, new-school AUs of the sort we see so much of today. There was one particular BNF who was known for her totally out-there AUs (which would not seem out there at all by modern fandom standards). But the vast majority of AUs were simple canon divergence.

I will maintain until my last breath that some canons work really well with AU premises. So I don't hate them across the board. I had a great time reading hundreds of perfectly delightful Johnlock AUs, for example; that particular canon just transferred into all sorts of different contexts extremely well. That said, I've had more fandoms where I didn't like AUs than fandoms where I did. AUs are probably sixty or seventy percent of my current fandom, and I have zero interest in a single one of them. :/
