Re: Not Cool AU scenarios

Anon before the anon you're replying to - to me, fics set during the holocaust and taking those issues into concern and having the holocaust actually be a BIG DEAL to the plot would count for me.

I mean I do want to see characters actually deal with and confront genocide and note how they respond, that's interesting to me, I want to see how they might be affected.

It kind of seems like you're defining 'holocaust au fics' as 'badly written fic exploiting events for wangst and drama' instead of 'fics exploring this particular era of history and the pretty terrible shit that went down'. I'd argue the first is a subset of the second, but the second CAN be done well and effectively and doesn't HAVE to have both characters be jews or one of them being dead or someone being a guard or whatever.

Disliking exploitation of death cams and concentration camps makes sense, I don't disagree with that, I'd say there's a lot more ways to do holocaust AUs though - one of them being 'let's explore it from different perspectives, some close and some more distant'.
