Is your AU idea very unique? Because I do sometimes get the feeling fanfiction in any big fandom is just the same 10 AUs written over and over by different people, so it can be hard to establish ownership over these things.

Yup. It's hard to be truly unique in any creative space and fandom really is no different at all in this regard.

This. Unless your AU idea is extremely unique, chances are good the other person just happened to come up with a similar idea.

As an example, I once read a book that turned out to have a character that was very, very similar to a character from a story I'd been working on on-and-off for years. I'd never posted anything about it anywhere so obviously the writer didn't borrow the idea from me, and I'd never read the book before so my writing wasn't influenced by theirs at all. We just coincidentally came up with very similar character concepts.
