Take Your Fandom to Work is an AU trope where fanwork creators use their professional knowledge of their own jobs or industries to create a workplace AU setting. This trope began as a 2016 Challenge on Tumblr. From the original challenge:
It’s a challenge where you really get to write what you know - whatever you do in real life, it’s time to dump your favorite characters into your workplace. Think about what you do for a living, pick any fandom - put them together and go forth and write! (Or draw, if you’d rather.)[1]
Fan Comments
[...] You can and should (if you want) Take Your Fandom to Work. People don't stop wanting to write fic just because they have careers and pension plans and car payments. And people who do write fic also have other hobbies and interests beyond fandom, other experiences and skills. There are fic writers in every industry imaginable, probably. Some days (okay, most days) I would honestly rather read a fic set in some extremely niche industry that I've never heard about before rather than yet another high school AU. You know stuff! Even if you don't think your job is particularly glamorous or high-skilled, I want to hear about it!
