To clarify things for readers and myself lmao,
My stories that I write here are all marked as such and such ff or such and such au.
ff= fanfiction
au= alternative/alternate universe
This is how everyone else and also me thinks it means, but it has come to my attention that people have different definitions of what is a fanfiction and what is a alternative universe.
It seems to most people or even everyone else, a alternative universe is a well...different universe where the characters in the story haven't met yet, hence a different universe.
But to me, alternative universe means a whole other universe like omegaverse or superpowers, shapeshifting, etc. You know?
Other people's definition of fanfiction is just a cute story of the aftermath of a certain event in the series or game they are writing about. Or even what if one of the characters did something different.
My definition of fanfiction is a bit complicated to explain, but it could be where the characters never met and they meet up in a different way to the series, or if their occupations are different, things like that. A bit complicated, sorry.
But this is just for clarification. Sorry if my stories are complicated due to these labels.. :(
