Best Answer

An AU fanfic is when the fanfiction is set in an 'Alternate Universe' [hence the acronym].

For example, an AU fanfic of Harry Potter could star Harry living as a student that is being targeted by gangsters [Voldemort and his posse!], as opposed to the real version of HP that says he's a boy in a wizarding school being targeted by other evil wizardies.

Um ... not sure if that made sense, but I hope that helped you a bit! ^^

An AU fanfic is a type of fanfiction where the author creates an alternate universe setting for the characters and storylines of the original source material. This can involve changing the characters' backgrounds, settings, or even genres while retaining the core elements of the original work.

Alternate Universe -- where the original work deviates greatly from what happened in "canon." Examples would be where Harry Potter was raised by Sirius Black, where Bella and Edward never met, or where Captain Kirk and Spock are enemies.
