And bring it all right back to you

I am aware I have a lot of comments to catch up with, but it will have to wait until tomorrow. Suffice it to say that if you have written a comment, I am aware of it and know I need to respond.

It's Day Sixteen of the fandom meme:

P: Invent a random AU for any fandom (we always need more ideas).

This prompt really doesn't play to my strengths. The only kind of AU I've ever read or written are canon-divergence AUs in the vein of 'this character didn't die, what happened next?'

So instead I'm going to throw this prompt back to you all: those of you who enjoy AUs (either reading or writing them), what are your favourite AU scenarios? And why do you like those scenarios in particular?


Q: A fandom you’ve abandoned and why.

R: Which friendship/platonic relationship is your favorite in fandom?

S: Show us an example of your personal headcanon.

T: Do you have any hard and fast headcanons that you will die defending?

U: Three favorite characters from three different fandoms, and why they’re your favorites.

V: Which character do you relate to most?

W: A trope which you are virtually certain to hate in any fandom.

X: A trope which you are almost certain to love in any fandom.

Y: What are your secondhand fandoms (i.e., fandoms you aren’t in personally but are tangentially familiar with because your friends/people on your dash are in them)?

Z: Just ramble about something fan-related, go go go!

montfelisky asked me to write about bullet journalling, and I finally managed to get around to doing so. The post is over at dolorosa12, my longform blogging site, and you can read it here. As always with posts over on Wordpress, please feel free to comment either here or there.

I love both of your types of canon divergence AUs, especially the second one. I also love AUs where the villain and the good guys have to awkwardly work together against some greater evil, and they grudgingly come to appreciate each other.
