but...but....AUs!! i love AUs with a burning passion. now, of course, it depends on the fandom how far i like them to go (for example i typically still like LOTR AUs to be in-universe. no like modern day coffee house or whatever. others im not picky.)

i think it's fun to take characters and imagine them in different situations, how they would react or how their life would be. what would change and what would be the same. how certain characteristics of them or their universe transfer over into something different. you basically get a whole new story still filled with characters you love! of course i still want it IC. but give me all the AUs and i will be a happy happy girl.

I think AU's are the natural progression of a fandom when most of the logical variations on canon have been written already. So yeah, don't get the hate. It doesn't matter if an AU has anything to do with canon, the fic will stand or fail on it's own merits. And if it's not your thing, that's fine.

I totally agree with you on LotR AUs. One of the biggest appeals of LotR is Middle Earth - the world, the cultures, the cosmology (I love the Valar).

Remove the characters from the setting and dump them in Modern Earth and you need something else to tie them back to canon - IMVHO that is either doing a Modern Earth rewrite of the plot (I have read at least one good Modern Earth Hobbit retelling), or have the story a reincarnation AU. That does not guarantee either of those types will make good fics, but I like those sort better than any random "Bilbo owns a coffee shop! Thorin walks in one day!" type of plot.

(I still over all prefer "change one detail, see the repercussions unfold" plots or time travel fit-it fics.)
