I have always been really wary of AUs. I don't know exactly why, but I think it stems from reading in another fandom where most of the AUs were kid!fic and actually written by very young writers...most of them badly. But I did finally try writing one for the last round of pilots presents, about Kara and Lee as Occupy protesters, and it was an interesting experience. I never really felt like I'd done enough world building, and I still wish I'd gone the other way on some of the premises, but I suppose those stories can still be told another time. At any rate, the feedback was good, which is always nice :) And then I wrote a couple shorts about Kara as a trucker meeting Lee for the first time, and that was kind of delightful. So I guess what I'm saying is I'm more open to them now :)
