I wonder if readers regard alt-fics as different from 'new beginnings' fic? If so, why do you think that is?
For me it does make a difference - generally I really enjoy alt-fics, but mostly I find 'new beginnings fics' less interesting, although like all 'rules', there are exceptions - there's one 'new beginning 'fic' on my top 10 list.
There's often something wondrous in an alt-fic that's rarely there in 'new beginnings' fic (for me, that is) Don't know why ?
