FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1. Why isn't Klaus's last name Mickealson? Why are things different than on the show?
We're AU. This means alternate universe. Our site plot picks up right after the season finale of the second season. Therefore, any information revealed in the later seasons is not in canon here. This makes it so that staff and members are not required to watch the tv show/read the books.
2. So what is canon here?
Everything up to the second season finale is canon here. However, it was Stefan that was bit by the werewolf and Damon who made the deal with Klaus for his blood. Unfortunately, Katherine did not go through with her part of the deal, and Stefan died. That means Damon and Klaus are gone, Jeremy has just been brought back to life, etc. Also, any information explained in the third season (as the question above explains) isn't canon here. Hybrids do not need Elena's blood to transition fully and Klaus never lived in "New World" America, among other things.
3. What if I really like the way a certain plot happened on the show? Can I recreate it here?
Yes. The plot may not go exactly as things go in the show, but say you love Caroline and Klaus together. You can plot out a way to create a relationship between them. Otherwise, for broader plot ideas, just PM them to staff and we'll discuss how/if to work with them.
4. Can I make a hybrid? What about an Original?
Yes and yes. Please read the guide for information on hybrids. The Originals require an audition and you must PM staff to get permission before you post the app.
5. Can I have past threads?
Yes, as long as the outcome of the past event does not change. Elena's parents cannot survive, etc.
