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?

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...

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.
