What are the systems that have Jupiters and Saturns beyond four or five AUs astronomical units, or the distance from the sun to the Earth?

I personally have always been a * huge* sucker for AUs as well.

-
So I'm just talking about what about this fandom made AUs suddenly readable to me.
-
My point is, in these fandoms, AUs are just as good as non-AUs - and they are more likely to be long and detailed and plotty, which is a good thing for me.
-
What are the elements that make a fandom great for AUs?
-
Popslash and bandom and J2 and Lotrips and AIRPS all count for this; I can't read RPF involving living people, because I am tragically allergic to celebrities, but I bet these fandoms are FILLED with great AUs.
-
Before I got into my current fandom, I could not understand the appeal of AUs.
-
I'm not sure that would be the same for any setting with those particular characters, but a lot of their situation is very essential to them, so the variety of believable AUs is at least limited.
-
But AUs often give me that feeling: if you like these characters so much, why are you putting them in weird scenarios where they're so far removed from what made you fond of them in the first place?
