July WIP Challenge: Day 6 Check-In

[lexicalcrow]

Day six was rather productive for me. I hope it was for you too.

Today, I have done:
- Writing
- Editing
- Sent fic to beta
- Post
- Planning and/or research
- Procrastinate
- Something else I will describe in comments.

Today's question: How AU does a fic have to be before it's crossing into original fiction? Is it strictly an issue of characterisation, or are there other things at play?

I wrote a drabble and a doubble for a Prompt Me/Stump the Author. I'm planning a third. Yay! (If anyone wants to play, they're still welcome). I also got a shiny new kink_bingo card, and am planning a line of Azula/Toph fills. (*plans*)

The most AUish thing I've ever written was a Halloween story where wee!Michael Myers is non-neurotypical rather than Pure Unadulterated Evil, but I thought of it more like Taking Issues With Canon rather than an AU. He still (rot13) xvyyf Whqvgu. Which isn't much of an answer.
