Alternate Reality refers to a story which deviates from series canon but remains in the Bonanza universe - e.g. a story in which a Cartwright has fought in the Civil War or in which one of them gets married within the series timeline.  These stories will be marked but not placed in a separate category.  AR does not indicate the story has supernatural elements.  It has the same premise, setting and characters as the other stories but with a twist that takes it out of canon to examine how the familiar characters would react to a non-canon situation or character.

Alternate Universe refers to a story in a genre other than Old West --- modern, SciFi, medieval.  Although AU's (both good & bad) are common in some fandoms like Magnificent 7, we didn't actually expect to find any good ones for Bonanza.  However, we did, so we included this category.

Just for Fun is a 2nd comedy category for "silly" stories.  The stories in the main comedy category have strong or dominate comedy elements but contain other elements which make them a well-rounded story.

Post-Timeline stories continue within the Bonanza canon but take place after the series concluded.  This would include stories in which Adam returns, Joe gets married to a woman who doesn't die, Jamie as an adult etc.  Stories using the last season characters without added characters will not be placed in this category  if they take place only a year or two after the series end.

Whole Family  If a story has one Cartwright as the main character (usually the POV character) but very significant involvement by the whole family, it will be marked for both categories.

Young Cartwrights or Pre-Timeline stories take place in the Bonanza Universe prior to the opening of the series.  They use Bonanza canon, not Ponderosa canon to the extent they conflict.  This category does not mean all the boys are - well - boys.  Adam was an adult when he returned from college but until Joe turned 16, the stories are pre-timeline.
