It was first published in 2002 in Comics Buyer’s Guide #1479 and then posted online January 2015.

* writing media tie-ins is not easy
* media tie-ins, like anything else, follows Sturgeon's Law
* media tie-ins are not squeezing other, more "literate" science fiction off the shelves

Medieval AU

Medieval AU is the common term for a Historical AU that takes characters from a another canonical time period, and reimagines them in the European Middle Ages (or, occasionally, the wider Post-Classical Period, like Feudal-Era Japan).
Medieval AUs commonly also feature Royalty themes, Master/Servant pairings, and Arranged Marriage tropes. There is a large overlap in Medieval AUs with Magic AUs, likely because of the influence of High Fantasy. Not all Medieval AUs feature magic, however, as plenty of Medieval AUs are pure Historical Dramas set in the Middle Ages.
