It depends on the setting from which you're taking the character.

Disney princesses, no. Bioware protags, sure.

so if it changes the story completely, it's a no?

Out of curiosity, why no to Disney princesses?

Because Disney is stupidly heteronormative and changing gender would change everything about the characters.

aaaah

maraish: If everything's different, it's a no-go.

We wouldn't take good-AU Loki, either, even though I love him.

Damnit phone. Also damn, looking for a place for him too

I WILL MUSEBOX WITH HIM, but yeah, our AU rules are basically a courtesy to allow malleable protags.

We extended it a bit for other AUs, but we're not really the place for out-there ones.

Your Li'l XFC universe is about as far from canon as we were willing to allow, and we wouldn't have accepted adult versions.

Gotcha.

...now I am imagining a goose!AU thor
