Listen you silly children writing this idiotic drivel and then labeling it AU. Stop it. Now.
Just.
Don't.
Do it.
It makes you look silly and it makes me want to throttle you. Changing cannon details just because you like your version better isn't a good thing. If there isn't a reason for the difference, it won't make any sense (although if you're writing this crap, you probably don't care). If you're writing a HP fic and decide that you want Lily to have been in to have survived that night, fine. But you should follow the logic from cannon. Lily died because she wouldn't move aside for Voldemort. If she's still alive in your world, then it follows that Harry probably isn't. If you are writing a VM fic and Lilly didn't die, you have to explain why. You can't just say "Lilly's alive" and have anything make sense! If you have Logan and Veronica hookup in middle school instead of Lilly and Logan (as stupid as that is) explain why. If you have Bill break up with Fleur,you should give a reason other than you dislike the character. There has to be a difference between that universe and the one that was presented in cannon. "Because I like it that way" isn't a good reason. It isn't even a real reason, you petulant, self-indulgent ninnies.
Okay. I think I've gotten that all out. God I hate people sometimes.
