Follow-Up Poll: AU versus AR

[kennahijja]

Alright, people - I ran into a definition problem with yesterday's poll. Basically, I used the options Alternate Universe (AU) and Alternate Reality (AR) because those often turn up as categories in archives, but I have no idea what they mean exactly.

Ok, I do know what area they cover - from 'nonmagical AU' to H/D as dragon riders in a fantasy dimension to Harry-in-Slytherin to Sirius/Remus living happily ever after after the war, no Veil. But the difference? Not a clue. So...

Die Geister, die ich rief... 8] It does sound tempting, doesn't it?! And just when my next idea for an AU/R was supposed to be a Paul Bowles/Lovecraft/moroccan fairytale crossover set in the 1920's, complete with French Foreign Legion and cities lost in sand ?_? Besides, the Renaissance has me firmly in its glovèd grip. But, but. Maaan, it DOES sound tempting. *feels fuzzy and loved :)*
