imagesCA1QEH5T


This is the meme for muns who love all kinds of AUs and crossovers.

[How To]

1. Post as your character. (Please write down the name and canon/fandom of the character in the subject line, and also if they're canon, AU, crossover or OC, etc. Please also write down preferences, etc in the comment box)

2. Choose a scenario, or any combinations of any scenarios you want to try out. Making up your own scenario is fine, too! Either mun can make the suggestions for a scenario.

3. Thread, tag and have fun!

[Sample Scenarios]

1. [AU] The Role Switch AU - Main Character, Side Character - The main characters are now supporting characters, and the supporting characters are now main characters.

2. [AU] The Role Switch AU - Main Character Group Role-Switching - If your character's canon has a main character duo, or a main character group, swapping roles around inside the group is alright, too. (Example(1) The Fighter is now in charge of strategy, while the Strategist is is in charge of the fighting... Example (2) It's a Five Man Band kind of group, and the Hero has been swapped with the Smart Guy.)

3. [AU] The Role Switch AU - Main Character vs Opponent Character or Rival Character - The main characters are now the opponents or rivals of the story, while the opponent characters or the rival characters are the main characters

4. [AU or Crossver] Through the Wormhole We Go. The characters have fallen through a wormhole, etc, into another world.

5. [AU or Crossover] World Fusion. Your characters have now been AU'd into a world with elements from all kinds of fandoms/canons, genres, or original worlds.

6. [Crossover] AU'd Into Another Canon/Fandom. One or both of characters have now been AU'd into a world from a different canon/fandom from their original one.

7. [AU] AU'd Into Another Genre. One or both of characters have now been AU'd into a world with a different genre from their original one.

8. [AU or Crossover] Now We Are AU Versions Of Each Other. One or both characters who are threading have been turned into AU versions of each other. Example - Tsukino Usagi has tagged Bruce Wayne, and they are now Bat Lady and Tuxedo Bat.

9. [AU] Alternate Timeline. Things have changed in the character's world's timeline, and there are many differences, big and small. Example - Bruce Wayne's parents didn't end up dead when he was a child.

10. [AU] AUs that aren't Alternate Timelines, But Are Different Worlds Entirely. Example - The canon was historical drama, the AU version has dragons and magic.

11. [AU or Crossover] Summoned To Another World. One or both of the characters have been summoned to a different world - Either to save the world, or for a different reason entirely.

12. [AU] The Genderflip AU.

13. [AU] The High School AU.

14. [AU] The Alignment Shift AU - Good characters are now Evil, and Evil Characters are Good. Chaotic Characters may now be Lawful, and visa versa, etc.
