Alternate Universe Exchange!

It's time for the AU Exchange! Open for both art and fic. Sign-ups are open till July 14.

Here's the tagset, which shows what canons and tags are available for requests and offers.

AU Exchange is especially fun because it lends itself so well to serious explorations of what might have happened (canon divergence AUs), changes of settings, and absolute crack. Here are a few of my favorite freeform tags:

All: 1930s science fiction writers AU

All: Amateur theatre group AU. I am requesting this for Punisher. The moment I saw it I realized how well the characters would fit into that milieu, no seriously. Moody method actor Frank! Put-upon stage manager David!

ALL: Character deals with a canonical difficult situation better than in canon. Is there any canon this wouldn't change radically?

ALL: Character(s) forced into circus run by evil being

ALL: Future Arranged Spouses are Forbidden To Meet But Able To Study One Another's Hobbies

ALL: Fuck/Marry/Kill Is Sometimes Legally Binding

ALL: Merpeople & Octopeople

ALL: Major Canon Location is haunted

ALL: Shadows of the Apt fusion

ALL: Soulmate or 1000 Roaches

ALL: Yarn store AU

Crossover: Eliot Spencer’s Remedial Cooking Class for Underfed Spies and Secret Agents

Greek Myth: Zeus is not an asshole

Marvel Comics: Madelyne Pryor Doesn't Choose The Evil Fingernail

Marvel Comics: Scott Summers Pissed Off The Goddesses & Now His Love Life Is What It Is

Marvel Comics: Supervillainy Is A Venereal Disease & Scott Summers Is A Carrier

MCU: Everything is the same except Tony Stark is a goldfish

Game of Thrones: Everything is the same except Jon Snow is a chicken

Dear AU Exchange Writer

I'm requesting fic for everything. But if anyone feels moved to give me an art treat, that would be delightful!

Feel free to mix-and-match AU freeforms within fandoms. For instance, for Punisher I requested both "Amateur Theatre Group" and "Post-Apocalypse." So, for that fandom a Station Eleven-esque post-apocalyptic theatre group would be fine.
