For me The definitions of AU is very vague because as people here pointed out All Fanfics are AU but for me AU places, American Sherlock, AU profession like YGTMH or AU events Like SH and JW gets together....

Crossover, fusion or AU or all of the above...?

Fandom is full of overlapping and difficult-to-define terms. The differences between crossovers, fusions and AUs is one conundrum that keeps on interesting me.

An AU we can all recognise, right? Let’s take an example: the spectacular Gimme Shelter by @sincewhendoyoucallme-john. John and Sherlock are not in London, it’s not the year 20XX and they are not a consulting detective and his blogger. It’s an AU – easy peasy. But, looking at the tag list we find: “Blue Crush fusion if you squint really hard”. In this context I assume it means that a setting, or some other worldbuilding elements may have been inspired by/borrowed from Blue Crush, but we don’t have Blue Crush characters showing up or the story of the film being repeated. What is the difference between writing something inspired by a thing, and a story being a fusion of two things?

Let’s take another example: Skeletons by flawedamythyst. I don’t want to offer any hints as to which universe it borrows from (you should all go read the story, it’s wonderful!) but I will mention that there are characters from that universe showing up. In the story, John and Sherlock also literally visit that other world. Would this, then, make it a crossover? 

Could it be that all crossovers could be described as fusions, but not all fusions are crossovers?

Third example: The Grating Roar by @engazed (which has me completely hooked at the moment). Original premise, future setting, nothing borrowed from anyone else’s works (except for BBC Sherlock, of course). An AU with no fusion elements, amirite? Not a crossover, not a fusion.

In a future fic project, I am borrowing a world created by others, and mentioning characters from it,  but also using OCs and a settings the types of which have been featured in this original world but which do not specifically exist outside of my fic. The borrowed canon characters do not meet our leading gentlemen. Crossover, fusion or both?

I would be fascinated to hear how people define these things.

Haha cute

pov ur about to become a victim of muppet malpractice

Illustration for my upcoming angsty Christmas fic A Midnight Clear. The fic is finished at about 15k words and will hopefully go to my beta tonight – and be posted in time for Christmas Eve.

The pic and fic are also for this month’s @sherlockchallenge : December.

the worst thing that could possibly happen to ao3 is it being put on the app store so please stop asking for it because you don't understand what would happen if that went through. ao3's whole deal is it archives EVERYTHING, while the apple app store's whole deal is keeping everything clean and safe. so if ao3 were to have an app all of the 'bad' stuff, including nsfw in general, would have to be censored at best or would be purged at worse. the google play store is more lax but who fucking knows what GOOGLE would police if they got their hands on the archive. do not ask for an app. do not use third party apps. it's on mobile browser functioning perfectly, just fucking use that before you ruin everything for everyone please.

English Kitchen Garden PLUMS

The above on my dining room table is only two days' worth of picking from our Czar Plum tree. We only have ONE plum tree in our garden, but it is a real winner. There are over thirty pounds of plums on that table. We've already got twelve pounds in the freezer. And we've given away over thirty pounds so far. And that isn't even HALF of what is left on the tree.

Plums crop particularly well in the English climate and this year we are having the best harvest in almost a decade. Interestingly, it is all down to luck. At the other end of our village, one of our friends had a wonderful mirabelle plum tree full of blossom that not only got ruined by a sharp frost, it actually killed the tree itself.

Not in our garden less than a mile and a half away. Our variety (Czar) blossomed at just the right time to get pollinated and the fruit set. The branches are so overladen with ripe plums that I don't have to get the step ladder out to harvest. Even better, the fruit at the top of the tree keeps the wasps and the birds happy, so they leave me alone picking the low-hanging fruit.

What we don't eat from the fruit bowl, we cut them in half and stone them (easy with this particular variety) and then freeze them. What doesn't get eaten over the winter as plum crumble, we make into a jam in the spring using the frozen plums. We've even made "Czar Gin"- using plums macerated in gin for two months with a bit of sugar to make a very nice drink for the winter months.

The tree was an anniversary present from me to my husband eighteen years ago, and we've had plums to eat ever since - the gift that keeps on giving.
