They might as well have changed the names and published it as original fiction, since the names seem to be the only things in that OOC drivel that still have something to do with the series in question.

If I recall the fic correctly, the characterization seemed more or less okay for such an extreme AU. People in completely different circumstances will have different attributes. Are they still the same characters as the show? That's a question of definition. But I think "OOC" is oversimplified.

I've never understood this. Even if characters are written OOC, the writer is still basing their story around characters that were already created by somebody else. Like, are they really /that/ OOC that they become their own new characters? Or is the writer always thinking of them in the back of their mind as their original names? If the latter, that shouldn't be published as an original story. That's repugnant.

I don't think it's as black or white as that, though. I mean, in an AU you're taking characters away from many of the situations that made them who they are in canon - and trying to understand who they might be in different circumstances. In the case of this fic/book - it works very well as an AU. The characters have certain traits that make you go 'oh yeah, I can see that so and so would end up like this given this set of circumstances'. The scenario is so drastically different from canon, that it could also be read pretty easily as original fiction.
