Date: 2014-05-22 03:41 pm (UTC)I know I couldn't have done it by fic alone, and I can see how AU can be a problem for original work. That said, I'm intrigued by the idea of AUs in an original setting, particularly canon AU/fork in the road where you can ask "what if" about a decision or event, and the repercussions if things go differently, and I do like to play with that.

I like the idea of AU in original work, and I have done some of it. But the type of AU on bingo cards is almost always stuff that's hard to write for most settings, like AU Coffee Shop or AU high school. I'd be fine with those prompts if they weren't locked to AU. I do better with AU prompts like "fork in the road." But those tight-focus ones, I only have one setting -- Schrodinger's Heroes -- that is really optimized for that sort of thing. So I can do some, but doing a lot is hard.
