Yup, I also usually prefer fics up to current canon, even though I don't mind reading fic with older canon - especially since sometimes I just assume it's an older fic/WiP and don't question it unless the author calls attention to it being newly written.
To hold up the candle for the hyper-keen slashers, I think a Sherlock-Holmes-during-WW2 AU could even be good fun - well, if the author did it on purpose, and knew what he was doing. Like removing the characters into a very different world. I like that sort of thing - if it's well done.
