Policy Discussion
Some of Singularity's players have questions about the game policies on AU character applications. This post has been put up to allow players to approach the staff to ask questions, offer suggestions, and voice concerns regarding those policies. The moderators are also available via IM/PM [contact information] if any player does not feel comfortable discussing their concerns in public.
As of the end of this application round (August 15th), AU applications will be closed until this matter can be resolved. This ban on AU apps does not apply to the exceptions listed in the AU policies (malleable protagonists and canon AUs).

"...the potential to be too off. If the concern is that characters will be too different to be recognizable, that's what it should be judged for."
This, in one sentence, sums up everything I am and have been trying to get across in this post. As it stands, the rule and how I've interpreted mod responses on this matter so far make it seem like an AU that has the potential to be too off is rejected on principle, when the AU should be judged on whether it is too off or not.
