The AU Meme
what if something was different in the way events played out?

The List
The Butterfly Effect: It has been said that something as small as the flutter of a butterfly's wing can ultimately cause a typhoon halfway around the world. ~ Chaos Theory
1. A personal divergence - Something different from canon happened to them or their friends and family and acquaintances, etc. Usually, the rest of this AU world is mostly the same as canon - but not always.
2. A societal divergence - Something a bit bigger happened, something big enough to effect society as a whole.
3. The divergence point was way back - Many things happened differently, and so this world is quite different from the canon one.
4. Genderbending - Their gender/sex has been flipped in this AU world.
And for something entirely different: A totally new AU, in which canon elements have been replaced.
5. Historical AU - welcome to life in a different time period entirely. The stone ages? The Victorian era?
6. The obligatory High School AU - Exactly what it says on the tin.
7. The sci-fi/fantasy world - Was there a door at the back of the closet into Narnia? Is it the 51st century? Perhaps they're dragon riders.
And anything else you happen to come up with.
