From most of the fanfics I've read, it's all basically AU, the highest rated are writers who have crafted a good world using RWBY as a template. If it isn't AU then there is something in the story that's not cannon or confirmed or there's an OC. I pretty much like it as they are good stories, yet from most of the stories I've seen, entire plotlines can be debunked by learning simple things. People have taken RWBY and pretty much made their own thing. Like you said we don't even know how aura fully works, yet many have their own take on it. It does annoy me slightly, but in the end if the story is good, I don't care.
