I was thinking about that as I was replying, too. :D You had said:
In the end I think what I want to do is take the simplification that often happens in SFF—there is an unambiguous evil, all people from X planet are like Y—and recomplicate it into human terms.
And I thought, yes, that, except what I like to do is take the everyday complications of normal human life and transport them into a scenario where there are also SPACESHIPS or DRAGONS! *g*
And it is so cool, when I look around and see the kinds of stories people write. What do people like to explore with their AUs? History? Romance? The different stages of real life? SF/F? Even if it's a type of AU I'm not interested in as far as fiction, it's still so cool to me how there is such a range of interests and knowledge informing fandom, you know?
