Snowflake Challenge 3 + 4

This one is about AUs

I'm not the biggest fan of AUs, because typically my favorite part of most canons is the worldbuilding. It's not uncommon that I discard the characters completely and just am interested in the setting. But I do like reading them on occasion. The closer to canon they are the better, so usually the AUs I like are stuff like canon, but omegaverse, or canon, but werewolves are real. I also like canon divergence a lot. "What if" is always an interesting question.

That said if the excuse for the AU is porn logic I'm there with bells on. Also when I'm deep in a obsession I'll read literally anything, but that is a temporary state.

Looking through my bookmarks I really don't keep around many AUs. Here's what I managed to find.

• Human - Is just porn logic Arthur/Cobb were Arthur is an incubus. It's otherwise canon.
• This Thing of Ours - Is an Inception Mafia AU. It's massive and an eternal WiP but it's suspenseful. One of those fic that kinda feel like they could have been a novel.
   
• Resist - Overwatch omegaverse with Cole/Reyes. That poor ship basically died before Blizzard went full villain so they don't even had a pairing name anymore RIP. But anyway I'm weak for omegaverse where the alpha is the submissive party.
• Tell Me About the Years and Let Me Buy an Hour - More Cole/Reyes, this one a full AU where Reyes mistakes Cole for a high end escort and Cole just never corrects him. Classic rom-com miscommunication stuff.

And challenge 4 is: make a list of things that you wish existed in fandom or elsewhere,

and/or that you'd like someone to create or do for you.

Unless someone can hand me discipline extract and help me finish the 100s of thousands of words of drawer fic that are sitting around waiting for resolution I don't know if there's much I want. I suppose I want bigger fandoms for some of the more niche stuff I like. For example more shippy fic for Banner Saga or Long Gone Days would be great. And more places to just talk about stuff that aren't Reddit or Twitter would also be cool.

I've always thought it would be cool to collab with someone on a twine or renpy game, but I don't know how to start with that really. And the above mentioned discipline issues mean that I've always felt actively looking would be unfair to anyone who actually also wanted a creative partner because I'd probably be the one to flake.
