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...

OK, AR is one of the choices over at the-archive, and I've always wondered what exactly differentiated it from AU :).

Yup, you exactly hit on my poll problem. If it's uncut, it's annoying to readers, if it's cut, nobody will notice. And as always, your solution is the best of all options ;).

The other option would be to post two polls - one before the cut and one after. Then at least some tempting ticky boxes will show! I'm not sure if it's possible to put two polls in one post, though.
