When at least one of the lads is still CI5 I suppose I'd still consider that "a simple divergence from canon" and potentially be interested in reading it.
The thing is, my time to read ff is very limited, so I'd rather spend that time hunting down the things I *really* want to read rather than spending days reading something that doesn't really interest me... and, let's be honest here so many Pros AUs are novel length so we are talking days.
*is afraid for you* That is a *very* scary slippery slope and I'm not even prepared to go and glance over the edge. I've heard rumours about the Bodie/Doyle elf stories for instance and have not even glanced at one. Nooooooooooooo! I think the categories at the new Automated Hatstand will make such things easier to find... and easier to avoid! Oh, and I am of course laughing at myself as I've written the Autogenesis stories... although, brace yourself, I don't really consider those AUs either. Erm...
