Headcanons are stuff that can be inserted into canon because no detail is ever given about it in the lore. AUs are plots where you need to change the canon for them to fit. The difference between Serious and Crack AU depends on the tone of the convo, and is left up to the archivist's appreciation.
Each category is broken up by characters and topics as needed. More precisions about what's in each category is given in the category's page.
While this record an attempt to capture everything, the line between casual conversation and recordable information can be wobbly. All the content is just copy and pasted from the Discord, sometimes with light editing to clean it up.
For conversations that happened very fast with lots of people, some comments may have been cut or re-ordered for conciseness and clarity. Long conversations may be split into multiple entries as the topic shifted, or have had their most relevant parts yoinked out for recording.
Please note that occasionally, some AUs are made as jokes and end up sticking in the lab's collective mind for reasons unfathomable. When it happens, they are curated by Custy and end up in the Inside Jokes section.
If you wish to have an entry added, please add it to this google doc, and an archivist will transfer it to the site.
Additionally, if you did HC or AU-inspired art and want to see it featured here, please send it to Hiaen (or Custy if Hiaen is asleep). Please note that while pictures posted in #headcanons-and-aus are usually added to the corresponding entry, art posted in #the-sokolov-gallery isn't included unless the artist asks for it.
