Potioncat:
When I first started reading fanfic, I was very puzzled by so many non-
canon-based stories that were rated AU. I didn't think think they were 
so golden. I learned to avoid the rating all together. Not sure how 
long it was before I learned that fanfic AU had nothing to do with 
Chemistry AU.
