I don't know what "aspected work" means, but it sounds like you're talking about my favorite kind of AUs. I love those. They're fascinating to work out. A good AU can do many things. It can: 1. Fix a problem. 2. Develop a minor character who was lovable but died early. 3. Allow a ship to work. 4. Explore another intricate plot in the same style as canon, without needing to introduce a new villain. 5. Explore the ways that seemingly small things can change who you are, or the ways that seemingly big things can fail to change people, or even both at once. 6. Do everything fully-canon-compliant fic can do!
I find it hilarious and sadly ironic that published books are so derivative that you end up in fan-dominated spaces to avoid the derivative stuff. (I also think it's flat-out amazing that you have crossed over your own canon with another canon. Existing models don't usually allow for that kind of thing and I love you break them.)
That said, I personally like to read slightly crappy popular books, to get a feel for what happens in them. Of course, I read them for free from the library, which helps a lot.
I think that if The Hardcopy-Creating Machine really understood the power of fanfic, fanfic would be seriously threatened, as opposed to laughably attempted!threatened.

And this is why I took over
