I prefer stories that stay with current canon, but I'd never say I wouldn't read one if the summary intrigued me. Generally I want to know *why* you didn't follow canon. I like a good AU, but I also like it when you know that the writer has a plan that isn't just ignoring the fact that Sirus or Dumbledore is dead.
What I mean is that I don't like a note at the beginning saying that they don't like new canon so they aren't going to use it. I usually find that the characters don't bear enough resemblance to the ones in the books to keep me with the story.
