My favorite ATLA fic was updated again. So addicted.

[timepiececlock]

fandomme topped herself again with chapter 13 of "Stormbenders".

It takes a really slick fanfic writer to gradually introduce a ton of fic clichés (especially fandom-specific fic clichés) and do it so stealthily that you don't even seem them, or if you do see them you don't care, because the overall effect is distracting you with its morass of AWESOME.

I think fandomme could eat a live baby on youtube and the entire zutara fandom's response would be "You won't get food poisoning and be unable to update The Fic, will you? Make sure you cook it all way through!" With helpful tips on seasoning and an offer to make the leftovers into sandwiches she can eat while writing. :D Pass the syrup?

Fic after Stormbenders

[rashaka.livejournal.com]

So. Once you finish SB (stretch it!) or in between if you want to make it last, here are some others dealing with 3x12 or 3x13:


Katara/Zuko:

Drama and pain and trust and camradery. This fic is short (3 parts) but it's hardcore. It's not about romance (only vague foreshadowing), but it's totally about Zuko and Katara and warriors and loyalty and their odd connection that started with the fight in the North Pole then went to the caverns and has changed again at the Western Air Temple.

Hilarious and hot. A stand-out concept fic.

This one starts out really good, then it kind of wanders and loses realism. But overall I enjoyed it.

The "Chores" series by Fandomme, on ff.net.




Gen/other:

A great, short, unfinished 2-chapter fic that deals with Zuko and Azula and Zuko's right to inherit and also I *love* Zuko's "surprise" when he stands in front of Azula. I wish this surprise were canon SO VERY BADLY, and there's no reason why it ought not to be.

A gorgeous one-shot about Suki and Mai, dealing with Maiko and Suki/Sokka and imprisonment and loyalty. No spoilers past WAT. I don't read much Maiko (or much Suki fic) but Rawles is a good read, and this one just burns with angst. And the brief bits of Zuko are rich and feel real. If Maiko is supposed to be real love and not just hooking up, then this would be the version I'd like to see on screen.

Zuko and the gang, ship neutral, just good.

And of course, the very porny super amazing smut fic "Absolution" by Misora at zutarotica, which tops just about any season 3 smut I've read.

You know how in...I dunno, whichever episode--"The Earth King"? Where Katara says, "No, Sokka, you go be with Dad," and Sokka does this adorable little dance and says "You--are the nicest sister--ever!"

Yeah. That's pretty much my reaction. *eyes fic hungrily*

::huggle:: Enjoy it! And if you find good stuff, send it my way.

I have a couple short drabble fics floating at ffnet in "Life's Not Fair" and "The Moon and the Sun", and a one-shot called "Heartbeat" that it set only hours after 3x12 ends. I also have an ongoing mini porn fic at zutarotica.

misora promises that the sequel to "Absolution" is nearly done (so she tells me) and that it follows 3x13, and the next part would then follow 3x14-15. This is months after I begged, prodded, and pleaded for her to turn her one-shot into a sexcapades series. :D I'm hoping she'll post that soon.

So the question is--do I send Misora a message about joining zutarotica and make her grumpy by giving her my birthday via a message rather than putting it on my profile, or do I compromise my principles and put my birthday up? Hm, decisions decisions...

Re: Fic after Stormbenders

Do you need to?

Anyway, she's cool, so just give her an LJ Message thingy. Not worth compromising your principals over, and unnecessary.

I would just apply to join-- she knows you're a mod for katara_zuko so she probably knows you're not a kid.

Then again I think little_Fool was a mod at 16, so maybe that argument doesn't work... And I was modding the Spike/Buffy Crumbling Walls forum at 16 or 17 (where I was definitely reading mature fic)...


Anyway, just apply to join. If she asks for your age you can just share it privately.

Hahaha. That reminds me of my mental arguments about my little sister's intrawebz surfing:

Oh no! She's discovering fanfic! She's wandering around half-unsupervised, talking to people from other countries! Who knows what she's--

...of course, when you were her age, you had already discovered the darker realms of Harry Potter fanfiction...oh God, what were you thinking back then?

but thanks. I shall go do that.

::laugh:: I certainly learned a few things from fanfic when I was a teenager, but I got most of what I needed to know from the library.

Seriously, parents and watchgroups worry so much about the corruptive influence of the internet, but I learned all the basics by reading from the general fiction section of my local library. Books are full of sex and violence. CRAZY FULL! All the internet did was expand and enlighten the edges of the map a bit.
