Poll #2: A Fanfic Question

Wait! Wait! Come back!

So, I'm writing a story based on a fictional work, and it's an AU set in Minoan times, because you know me and the Minoans. So I'm trying to decide what to do about the names. This is a little complicated because the Minoan language has not been translated, afaik (though in Late Minoan times they did also use Mycenean Greek).

I have no opinion because I don't really understand the issues involved. However I do have one question and one comment:
-- question: What is "AU"?
-- comment: I love that you can change your icons to coordinate with the themes of your posts!

AU= Alternate Universe. So set in a different time period or a world with a different history or where something happened differently than in the original.
