Talk:Hybrid (Vampire Diaries)

Fanlore doesn't have a general Hybrid page, which I think should be created as a disambiguation page. Someone on twitter mentioned that there's no Hybrid AU page. AO3 has the tag Animal Hybrid AU synned to Alternate Universe - Animals, which doesn't sound like the same thing. I've definitely read AUs where characters are animals, and those aren't the same as when characters are human/animal hybrids. AO3 does have a general Hybrids tag. We have Kemonomimi, Were-Animal, Animal Transformation, and Animals in Fanworks. (Side note: Fanlore's animal transformation page says it includes AUs where the characters were written as animals all along, but is that true? AO3 has separate metatag structures for Animal AUs vs. Animal Transformation. On the other hand, AO3 has a separate metatag structure for Catboys & Catgirls vs. Cat/Human Hybrids, which seems odd to me, but I don't know enough about these tropes.) --aethel (talk) 16:29, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

That sounds like a great idea, and it does feel like this page was named by an editor who expected there to be a disambiguation page. I found two pages defining a hybrid au -- this post and this wiki entry for Rise of the Brave Tangled Dragons. There seems to be enough information to warrant its own trope page. The Animal Transformation page does reference Animal AUs, so you could link to a new Hybrid AU page from animal transformation. --Auntags (talk) 13:35, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
