I have no problem with AU. In fact, by definiton, fanfiction is AU.
The story I am writing, "Stranger in a strange land" set out from the
begining to be AU, as I doubt JKR would ever write in Sirius's return,
the explorer corps, and the conquest of earth by an invading fleet,
with Harry Potter at the helm and Weasely the tactician plotting it.

I've always looked at any story I write as being AU the moment the
first word of the story makes it to the page, be it electronic or
paper. I am not going to write the story that another writes, and I'm
certainly not going to write at JKR's level. (Personal opinion is
that I'd be writing DOWN to her level after HBP, but that's just a
very dissatisfied reader talking.)

That is exactly why I won't write a post HBP fic. It's far too
limiting.
Why be annoyed about your story being AU? We knew Sunset would be AU
from the moment the first word was put into a word processor file.
Its
sequel will be even more AU. Our first two stories are totally AU now
thanks to HBP. And personally I think our stories are better than HBP
but thats beside the point. :)
