From the ubiquitous coffee shop to traveling as a band, from Witchers fighting on spaceships to take-your-fandom-to-work day, alternate universes and fusions of multiple canons are a staple of fandom imagination! In your own space, put some favorite characters into an AU, fuse some favorite canons together, talk about your favorite AU/fusion tropes, or tell us why AU/fusions aren’t your cup of tea.

Oh. Oh my. I love all the AUs. Take your fandom to work day is literally one of my favorite things, and something I have done multiple times. My work now is too complex and boring to do it (though I imagine it is a bit what a chief cultivator might do, all bureaucracy and very little actual doing good in the world), but hopefully someday I will retire and do something stupid and fun that I can write my fandom into again. But I've written band camp, ER, research administration… I feel like there's another one but I can't remember it. OH SHIT, professional musicians, lol.

So yeah, I love them all so much. I am a sucker for coffee shop AUs (and my Sastiel big bang that never got done was kinda sorta one of those) and flower shop, bakery, all that kind of stuff. GIVE ME FLUFF AND MEET CUTES ALL DAY LONG. I do also like space, but I am not nearly as much of a sci fi nerd as I thought I was? I don't write it. I read it, though. I like historical romance, I love royalty AUs. Arranged marriage. GIVE THEM TO ME. ALL OF THEM.

I love fusions when they are the perfect blend of two canons and hinge on some weird but perfect thing. There is an SG-1/SPN crossover out there where the demon's yellow eyes means he is a goa'uld. Perfection.

Jelly and I just did a podcast about the sort of detailed occupation AUs you get from take your fandom to work day in MDZS. That was a lot of fun and full of so many awesome AUs.

So. Yeah. Love me an AU, fusion, crossover, you name it. Only thing is that it makes me want to go read them now, and it's already 4am, I need to get up for work in 4 hours.
