Otaku Rants

AUs, good or bad

Ok, let me just say something, not all AUs are bad. The ones that are need a better explanation and or plot line. Some fandoms actually need more good AUs. Like Naruto, from my experience, I like to stay away from AUs because almost all of them I've read are awful. Mostly because the "Konoha high" AUs are over used, almost all of them have the same plot line. New kid, everyone becomes friends with her even tho she's an emo child who got suspended from her last school, and for some reason her parents are gone or dead or her dad is kakashi, either one. That's basically it.

AUs can be gold, but then can be absolutely crap if over used. Like for me, the reason I wrote a Hinata Yandere AU is because I've never seen one before, the reason it's in a high school is because it's something familiar to the readers and the book has many parts relating to Yandere Simulator. One of the things I hate is when even though it's an AU, everyone's personality is the same, or even more exaggerated. It's an AU people!! Alternative universe!! Meaning u can make Hinata into this but hurt child who bullies people and Naruto into a shy kid who's to shy to make friends. If fact, you can have Naruto DEAD for all I care! AUs are post to be fun and different, not all High School AUs where the story line is all the same.

Or have different parts into it! Have it following the main plot line of the original story but make differences, like have Minato alive and stuff like that! Then call it a UA, universe alterations, start something like that or something! (Give me credit tho : P) have Kakashi evil and Obito good (I've actually been wanting to write this) have the Konoha 12 all get killed by madara, or Pein, or someone else! Have Kaneki kill himself when he becomes a ghoul then have the story be about Hide trying to figure out why he killed himself! Have Koro-sensei actually be evil and trying to kill the students while the students try to kill him! Do something like that and I'll be happy, lots of people will be happy!!

In fact I might take my own advice and write those books. *shrug* ƪ(˘⌣˘)ʃ
