I think you've definitely hit the nail on the head with that, Mare! I suppose if a story starts out with them being BSB, and having the BSB history, but quickly morphs into something else entirely and strays so far away from them being BSB, then it constitutes as AU, at least in part. Especially when you bring supernatural elements into the mix as with the stories you mentioned.

mare:
^ poor nail :( lol

Sakabelle:
LMAO yes, indeed.

Carter-Orange:
I love reading and writing AU's just as much as reading them as Backstreet Boys.  I like that with an AU you can have them be something completely different, like a fighter, preacher, actor, model, etc.  But I do like to be able to tell that they are who they are supposed to be.

I'd never really thought of a story being AU if the wives/girlfriends/kids were changed.  But then again, I didn't know what AU was a few years ago, lol.
