Blar.
You know, I like AU fic. At its best it can be really interesting and hopefully well-written conjecture, and I like that. At its worst... well, it's crackfic.
But what bothers me - I suppose this could be considered an entirely different topic, but it seems to be the case in AU fic a lot - is putting characters needlessly OOC. If your story/RPG/whatever hinges on the fact that Peter not divulge the secret of the Potters' location to Voldemort, fine. MAKE IT BELIEVABLE. But Cameron, say, is not an ignorant, insensitive fuck.
SO JUST DON'T DO IT!
(BEHOLD THE LOVELINESS THAT IS ORALFIXATION!CHASE!)
ETA: Oops. KITTY DON'T LOOK, IT GOT A LITTLE SPOILERY. o_o

(Someone reasoned to me--or tried--last night that Cameron gets really mean in the second season. I just say that she grows up a lot because people are ASSHOLES to her. BUT HEY.)

I'd get a little mean if I had to work with those guys too. :P (Although I might just do Chase - WAIT, CAMERON DID THAT TOO.)
