This line was deleted because \"Original Flavour describes fanfics which aim to replicate the canon of the source material closely. An Alternate Universe fanfic cannot also be Original Flavour, regardless of style.\" but the actual article says \"The goal of the Original Flavour fic is to seem as though the original production team could have thought it up. Even if it heads off into previously unknown and unexplored territory for that property, the story will emphasize the use of existing gimmicks and devices rather than introducing totally foreign ones.\" therefore Made Of Axes misinterpreted the trope in play. Probably because he did not bother to actually read the article in question. AU has nothing to do with Origional Flavor not being in play, the style of the writing itself does, however.
