It stands for Alternate Universe

It usually means the writer uses the characters from a book, but places them in a situation totally unconsistent with the bookWww@QuestionHome@Com

AU simply means alternate universe in fan fiction forums!. You take a famous person and make them unfamous, make them "normal!."Www@QuestionHome@Com
