Both of mine were "depends". For the AU's, it works like this:
If it's something really intruiging, like the WWII ones that have been popping up, or the ones where at least ONE THING is drastically different in their lives, then yeah, that's really really good. but if it's like, the only thing that's different is that they're sexing (which, yeah, I have seen considered an AU--and I guess it is, kinda....), then, um. NO. Or, like, the only different is, I dunno, something mundane that isn't actually THAT different from what's happening/has happened on the show.
Did that make sense? I don't think it did....
and as for the college ones, some of them are a little TOO out there. Like Dean goes to college WITH Sam....like, crack!fic is different, because we KNOW that's crack, but trying to make it serious is just weird....(for the record, the College Boy Dean one didn't work. AT ALL.)
So I dunno. But I suppose it depends on the person, right? RIGHT.
I should SO be doing homework right now.....sometimes fandom wins!
Umm I wouldn't consider that an AU. I mean TECHNICALLY yeah ahah but if we're reading J2, all fic is then an AU you know? But it does make sense :)
haha well that yeah is diff and it does depend. I meant more J2 though, when both are in college because the only dean and sam ones i read are gen and that too rarely hahahaha
dooooooood, me too :( Fandom is too alluring though!!!
I avoided AUs for the longest time. Besides, it wasn't like that wasn't plenty of canon-ish compliant stuff to keep me busy, right?
But I finally broke down about a week ago and read an AU that had been recced to me about 500 times, and now I'm hooked. I've been reading AUs since then, pretty much non-stop. I've been staying up late and getting up early and telling myself to stop, but then I think "Just one more..."
Have you read the stuff by belyste? Her Business and Pleasure, Spin The Light To Gold, Can't Find The Way To Your Heart, and Something Borrowed Something Blue are all amazing!! (all her fics her, but those are the au ones)
Umm I can't think of a lot off the top of my head but here is my delicious of AU
