Line 4:
The standards for how much is fundamental to the series vary by fandom and by time of writing, but the fic types that are usually considered AU are the following:
* '''Contextual Reassignment''' - When the fundamental aspect that is changed is the world itself. Overt changes in the [[Magic
** '''Familiar Contextual Reassignment:''' When the characters are taken out of their world and placed in a setting that is fairly familiar to the author and readers - the [[High School AU]] is especially common, putting characters who would not have met or even existed for years in close proximity during teenage years.
** '''Unfamiliar Contextual Reassignment''' - When the characters are taken out of their world and placed in a setting much more unfamiliar to the author or the reader - for example prison, a Nazi Death Camp, Normandy 1066, or possibly Mars.
