I agree that it depends on the definition of AU whether I like that or not. Originally I thought AU would be a scennario where the characters are set in a completely different setting, for instance FK in space. I think that's what's now meant with "total AU". That's something I probably would not like so much as I prefer FK just the way it is. That's why I usually name AU as one of the items on my non-preference list for the fkficfest.
However, some people seem to think of canon divergence also as AU. I wouldn't be opposed to that and wouldn't regard it as AU.
I've never encountered the term "fusion" in the context of fandom before.
