What's your least favorite kind of AU?

(Anonymous) 2013-11-14 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
The high school AU? The bakery AU? The medieval AU? The recreating-a-popular-movie-with-characters-shoehorned-into-major-roles AU? (Can you tell which of this list is my least favorite?)

The last one.

Closely followed by high-school AU. I already went through high school. It was shit. I do not want to relive it again.

1920s AU or any wartime AU (not applicable for HP's war of course). I guess the last one too, though I've never read a fic like that because it always sounds stupid to me.

...actually no I did read a fic that recreated eternal sunshine of the spotless mind. it was okay. but otherwise it's a no from me.

High school AUs or coffee house AUs. Both premises are just so boring.

Pretty much any AU that isn't a canon divergence AU, tbh. High school/college AUs especially, though.

Self-insert AUs. "I'm going to write out the canon plot but with ME as the main character / main character's love interest / main character's tagalong best friend and confidante who gets with the other character I find the most attractive! You can't tell me it's wrong, it's an ~AU~!"

High School AUs. War or historical figure AUs. Starting to get pretty sick of the coffee shop AUs as well.

High school AU is the one I really can't stand.

Re: What's your least favorite kind of AU?

The last one you mention and historical AUs where the author clearly hasn't done a lot of research. A historical period is not just pretty clothes, yo.

The rewriting a movie/book AUs and human!AUs for supernatural shows. I tend to avoid most AUs except the canon divergent ones.

D/s AUs. It's just so not my kink, but whereas I could (and do) ignore sex scenes that don't appeal to me, having sexual dynamics invade the entire universe is something else entirely.

I really don't like the last kind of AU you mentioned either, but other than that? I love AUs.

The ones where basically people take the characters from an interesting setting, like outer space and/or the future, or a fantasy world with magic and dragons... and put them in 20th/21st century America, usually without any more plot than the two mains hooking up.

It strikes me as "I want to write shipfic but I don't want to try to write anything too unfamiliar to me so I'll do something that takes no effort".

Once or twice I've seen it done well because there was a plot that required modern-era America, or certain parallels were striking, but usually it's just stripping the fun of an exotic setting from the canon - and darnit, if I like reading a fandom's fic, it's usually at least as much about the setting as the characters.

War (I've only read one that I liked) or regency.

The last one and high school AUs.

Re: What's your least favorite kind of AU?

Lazy historical fantasy AUs where the author just wants two guys to have an arranged, forced, or destined marriage. It can be interesting, but generally...

Can someone explain to me the coffeeshop AU? Because I...literally don't get it.

The last one. Especially if I'm searching for fics of something and all I find is AUs for another fandom's characters.

Re: What's your least favorite kind of AU?

star trek aus that don't take place in the future. pretty specific, but i'm fine with most other types i've read, even something like merlin in present day (though i've only read one like that so maybe i wouldn't like any others).

Any kind of AU which isn't at least loosely based on actual canon, really. (Meaning, "AU where Character A made choice A instead of Choice B and subsequent events changed accordingly" or "Random Event X transpired at Point Z and fucked everything up" is cool. All the other kinds you just mentioned: BLEH.)
