Quoth the Raven, nevermore.

AUs. I love them. Tell me yours.

I think it was on this beautiful fic on LJ that someone said they loved the idea of no. 6 being doomed to always go wrong, just differently every time, but to be honest i prefer easy-to-deal (read: derpy modern settings) universes where i can comfortably explore characters' personalities, and uh, motives and that sort of things that make them themselves, just, y'know, somewhere else.

But uh, you can totally disagree with me if you w-want.

tagging is for people who know what they're doing

I think easygoing AUs are capable of showing a lot more insight than people sometimes think - as you say. Though it usually doesn't quite turn out that way, which is fine too. We all need our idfic.

I think it was on this beautiful fic on LJ that someone said they loved the idea of no. 6 being doomed to always go wrong, just differently every time - It was! I read that and thought it sounded familiar, and then I looked and... Yeah, that was me, who said that. ;)

And I'm actually normally not an AU person at all, but... I also wrote my first AU pretty much ever in this fandom, and it was really fun. XD And I love reading AU in this fandom too, so go figure. ;) I think for me, I like the idea of keeping certain common elements, but exploring slightly different things with them? So pretty much the same thing you said - motives and all of that are the same, just slightly different situations, and with No.6, sometimes taking the whole confusing universe out of things is also kind of...freeing, from a writing standpoint. *nod* So yeah, I'm all for it. :D
