I know OCs based on canon characters are allowed, and OCxCanon submissions are allowed, but what about AUs of characters? Where would something like that fall? Thanks!

We're in the process of working on our sliding scale of AU characters, where we show what we consider to be an AU of a canon character and what is different enough to be considered original for the sake of points.

At the moment, the general ruling is that the AU character must be different enough from the source material to be considered original, and is done on a case-by-case basis. If it isn't different enough, this is just considered a canon character for the sake of points.

You're welcome to contact us via any of our communication methods to ask if your character AU is considered canon or original until we have our guide in place!
