That's a really good category that clears things up: Elseworld vs AU. We need to spread that around; it'd be useful.
I have a real kink for stories that make one little change, and extrapolate it farther and farther out, until everything's different. It's like Chaos Theory, and it's always so cool to see how tiny things can have huge effects, how delicate the canon balance was.
