It's very true - It's taken me a good four months to get through the fanfic on the Circuit Archive, avoiding (most) AUs and reading quite a lot. I think I've only managed one published book this year and I read all the time... Prosfic has eaten my life!!!
Oh hell, yeah. The Elf stories. There's lots of them and it's frightening. Cat!Doyle is almost as scary! Though the Dangermouse crossovers by Debra Hicks are quite amusing.
The line between crack and AU is a blurry one. It's not quite "it's an AU where getting a car pregnant is sensible", and I'm not quite sure why... but it makes sense to me. Probably about the same as girl!Sam being considered crack but not AU. I think? Or would you consider *those* to be AU?
