A Question for Fanficcers

[steepholm]

Is there a term in common use to distinguish fics consistent with canon (e.g. "Neville and his Grandmother Pack his Bags the Night before he first goes to Hogwarts") from those that contradict it (e.g. "After the Final Victory of the Death Eaters, Draco decides to Employ Ron Weasley as his Houseboy")?

I've seen 'canon compliant' used; and for the opposite, the good old 'AU' covers a multitude of sins.

Thanks! Canon-compliant sounds good. AU may be just a little too broad, but I'll see if it can be refined.
