I picked option 3 for the first question, but mainly because I'm in a situation somewhat similar to user. I have a number of stories that feature only canon relationships...but they take place in an AU where those relationships have developed in significantly different ways than they did in canon. So do they count as canon relationships, or not? Even when the stories aren't about those relationships per se, the differences are often important background information. I mean, if 95% of a story is about Spike and Dawn's adventures in Pylea, and Buffy shows up in the last five percent, drags Spike off-stage, and when they reappear for the curtain call, there is a strong inimation that she and Spike have done more than hold hands, does that make the story S/B?
After the massive What Is Gen? kerfuffle of a few months back, I prefer to err on the side of caution.
