What would you define as “modern AU”
This is probably stupid, but also it’s a genuine question I have, when writing a fic that is set in a different time what is modern? Like if I am writing a fic about a story that original took place in the 1800s can it still be “modern” if the fic starts in 2003? Or like would it need to be 2026 to be modern.
On the other more stupid hand if a original story is still in the future and you want to write a contemporary fic would that technically be a “historical” au
