What's in an AU? by yourlibrarian

Summary
My issue with the term "AU" is that it's used to mean what I consider to be vastly different things. I find the term always has relevance in indicating that the story is somehow non-canon-compliant. However, the ways in which this lack of compliance occurs may relate to settings, life histories, character development, or timeline changes. And in some cases the term is used mostly to distinguish cloaked original fic from canon-inspired stories. Moreover, the fandom in which the term is used may affect the definition in ways that are not the same across the board.

Summary
My own response to the whole "slash as anti-feminist" debate in progress. Since I don't write fic myself I'll have to approach this strictly from a reading standpoint, but I do have a few thoughts about it, mostly in terms of how the essay's lack of context seems to be so revealing.

Summary
What was interesting about these numbers is that I'd noticed the same cycle in LJ-based fandoms. At least half of the people I saw around in 2004 are no longer here.

Summary
All of which is a very long way to say, how do people define what they "watch" and how much does the way they watch have to do with whether they are fannish or become involved in a fandom?
