I have no problem with people ignoring the epilogue for fanfiction, people have been ignoring canon for the sake of fanfiction for years before the epilogue came along.

It's when people try to claim it isn't an alternate reality/universe, whatever the terminology is these days, that I get annoyed. It's as if they are trying to make it seem there is something wrong with AUs/ARs, and they are some how better for not writing them. It's irritating. I'll admit I'm not a big fan of random AUs but 'what if' AUs can be fascinating.

The epilogue is canon no matter how much you hate it, if you ignore or change it it's no longer a canon based fic.

Now see, I prefer it when people label fanfic as Epilogue? What Epilogue? or pre-HBP instead of AU, because I prefer to keep the AU label for stuff like what ifs. Using AU to describe a fanfic you wrote in 2004 that was canon-compliant until mid-2005 is annoying, and I have different expectations of a fic that says it's ignoring the epilogue versus one that calls itself an AU. I expect an AU to have an eye on how what they changed affects the canon we know, while something just ignoring it doesn't have to do that. So I appreciate when authors go to the effort of being specific of what they're basing their fanfic on instead of just slapping AU on everything. As for arguments of canon compliance, I haven't read a lot of post-DH fanfic so I might have missed the tone you describe towards real AU's, but I don't see anything wrong with saying that something's canon compliant except for the epilogue or a statement that they're ignoring it.
