My main ASOUE fanfic universe is A Post Series of Unfortunate Events or (APSOUE) for short. Mainly following the events after The End taking place in 1950 to the point where the Baudelaires clear their names and finally inherit their fortune. Probably take at least 5 or 6 books depending.
I've also been thinking of doing a spin-off involving a next generation version of volunteers.
Maybe a prequel story about Count Olaf's life from his childhood till the events of the book series.

I was working on a V.F.D. AU involving my characters, and even started a fic here (The Beastly Banquet) but I kinda shelved the idea and looking back on my plans, they were really kinda stupid. Didn't help that my characters changed radically between when I started writing that and now.

Something I learned is that characters can change. You just need to create a good reason for that. The bigger the change, the bigger the event that led to that change must be.

I would say that I have two fictional universes. In one of them Beatrice survived the fire in her mansion. In another she died. I have a history advanced in time (much later) but I still don't know which of these universes the story takes place in. I am still deciding, but that is irrelevant. Speaking of which, I need to finish writing about Maria Mallahan. That fic deserves a worthy ending.

I wonder if I should straight-up reveal what my plans were here I strongly advise you to reveal your plans. I was hesitant to publish Matt Litory and the Multiple Intelligences, and then I realized something: If I didn't do it now, I would never do it. The staff here is nice and the number of people is small. While you can expect to receive criticism if you end up publishing theories (as I usually do), everyone here is really cool when you decide to publish creative stuff and fanfics. (some are simply indifferent, but be indifferent to who is indifferent).

While you can expect to receive criticism if you end up publishing theories (as I usually do), everyone here is really cool when you decide to publish creative stuff and fanfics. (some are simply indifferent, but be indifferent to who is indifferent). Okay, here goes nothing... Connor then has a job at the Anxious Clown but he then quits and gets fired at the same time and heads to Lake Lachrymose, where Wendy was apparently swimming and finding stuff from the wreckage of Aunt Josephine's house. The leeches show up, Wendy gets bitten in the hand, and they leave once Robyn shows up. We then meet this guy named Harold who is dating Audrey, but Audrey is busy doing undercover work on the other side of V.F.D. (yes she is a double agent). The crew go to Ronald's house for a meeting, where we find out he now has the Incredibly Deadly Viper and they eat puttanesca. The day of the titular Beastly Banquet happens at the Hotel Preludio[sic], and the cast tries to find out what is going on, but everything sort of goes wrong for them. Ruby, Ronald, and Robyn are barely able to hear something about the remains of the ruins of the Hotel Denouement before getting kidnapped by Fiona and Fernald, locked inside a car, and left alone in train tracks outside the Last Chance General Store. Audrey hears something about a sugar bowl, but gets wine spilled on her dress and has to leave to take a shower. Wendeline hears something about a statuette, but then gets captured by the man with a beard but no hair and the woman with hair but no beard, and is left alone in a dark warehouse near Briny Beach. Ruby, Ronald, and Robyn barely escape by repeatedly banging the glass with random stuff they find in the car including a Littlest Elf toy, an old book, and a mannequin hand, and go into the store and call for help. Harold goes to Audrey's room, she seduces him, and reveals part of her plan. Wendeline somehow manages to escape, break out, and use her knowledge of water to aid in that escape somehow before running to a phone and finding out about the Hotel Denouement thing. She heads over there, meets a shady-looking guy, and is given a sugar bowl, which she opens. Inside is the Bombinating Beast. She goes to her house, a place similar to Aunt Josephine's but by the sea, and rests puzzled by the figurine. And that's just the beginning. The rest of it was really loosely planned, but to summarize: Connor, Ruby, Ronald, and some other folks are at a submarine and detect the Great Unknown, Wendy's house gets burned down, she survives using a book draft and the Verdant Flammable Devices, Audrey performs at an adaptation of the Epic of Gilgamesh where she uses a code to get Harold to be on the look out for the main antagonist, there's some stuff involving two sugar bowls, more Fiona and Fernald stuff, then Wendeline goes to Olaf's tower, faces Fiona and Fernald, and Fiona threatens Wendy with a harpoon gun until she says "Klaus would be ashamed of you", at which point she gives up, Fernald shoots the harpoon gun, and Fiona (for some reason) jumps in between and takes her own life to save Wendy. Fernald freaks out, Fiona dies, and Audrey shows up and reveals she isn't actually afraid of rats, but is rather a baticeer like Beatrice but using rats instead of bats. Wendy finds out more stuff about the Bombinating Beast, Connor dies revealing some other secret, a big old chase happens in the city, Wendy blows the Bombinating Beast, jumps into the Great Unknown, and finds out it is a robot piloted by female Finnish pirates who are now led by Ellington Feint for some reason...(stupid), the Quagmires are still there somehow along with Widdershins (Fiona and Fernald had teamed up with Feint), some really dumb stuff I can't remember happens, Audrey wears a disguise called "Julia Sham", some other stuff happens, Wendeline decides she doesn't want to live with the V.F.D. thing and decides to leave, and goes to Briny Beach at which point the Baudelaires arrive, she talks to them and leaves to the island, and stays there until the writer heads to the island and interviews her. Trust me, it's pretty bad and I'm a bit glad I abandoned the idea.

Frankly speaking, the only part I didn't like was the robot.(It seemed to me something that is not part of the ASOUE universe) But, the other parts are delightfully chaotic, and if they were well thought out to be described in a way where the reader could follow what is happening would be something cool and interesting.

Wait, you thought the only bad thing was the Great Unknown just being a mecha-Bombinating Beast? You thought everything else worked?
Even Fiona Green Goblining herself over being told "Klaus would be ashamed of you?" Even the random fanservice and references to the 2004 film? Even the noir stuff? Even Julia Sham?

My main ASOUE universe takes place in an alternate 90's world, were technology and fashion from the 1930's never went out of style.
Another one I've been thinking about doing is a time travel AU.

I have thought about having two, but I decided one is enough.

I'm working on a series that's a sequel to ASOUE. It was originally going to be a standalone fic but decided to make it a series cause it was becoming way too long.

Every fic I've written has been set in a seperate universe. Sometimes it even contradicts itself in some places, just like the main series.
