Re: AU Flavours/Recs?

Hm, I think it depends on the fandom. For some I really loved dodgy historical AUs and for others can't stand them.

I like the type of AU that takes one big event from canon and twists it to explore how it would be different.

I like supernatural creature AUs, but oddly enough not superhero AUs.

I am super sick of coffee shop AUs but did find them charming in the beginning.

Haaaaaaaaaaate slavery AUs or the BDSM AUs.

AYRT

Yeah, some canons lend better to some things than others, and some fandoms seem to supply better versions of some things than other too.

I've only rarely seen superhero AUs (admittedly, probably because one of my main fandoms IS a superhero fandom where it'd be a tad redundant). I did see a couple of OUaT Superhero AUs. Some better than others.

Haaaaaaaaaaate slavery AUs or the BDSM AUs.

Yeah, a bit. Though slavery less so, I think, because ... I'm not sure. I think a fair few of the slavery AUs I've read have been against the slavery from the get-go, because it's a real-world thing that doesn't need a set up, so you can just open on the disapproval but still have your kink as well. Whereas the kind of BDSM AUs where the whole society runs on rigid roles have to be set up and imposed on the standard setting, and the effort to build it up often comes across as more creepy/approving than I think (hope?) it's meant to? Also slavery AUs tend to lack the 'biological determinism' element that some BDSM derivatives have, so they're automatically less creepy to me.

But, you know. Different strokes.
