Avatar: why can't it be seven books, each thicker and longer than the last?

[lizbee]

When I finished season two (this afternoon), I swore I'd pace myself through season 3. I mean, yes, it's one episode longer -- YES, THAT MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE! -- but I don't want to suddenly find myself in a world without Avatar. Five-year arcs followed by increasingly dodgy TV movies and a short-lived spin-off: people should look into them. NOT THAT I WANT THE LEGEND OF KORRA TO BE SHORT-LIVED. I'm already freaking out at the promise threat that it will be shorter and more contained than The Last Airbender.

Where was I? Oh yes, pacing myself. Which I am totally doing, which is why I'm only six episodes into season 3.

*eyedart*

If anyone can rec me some fic for when I'm finished watching, I'd be grateful, because I'm really not sure I can face a world without Avatar. Any pairing; I don't know yet whether I'd revolt at the notion of Aang/Ty Lee (for example). I think sohotrightnow was only joking when she mentioned Azula/Zhao babyfic, but I'd be totally down with it. Okay, Fire Nation fic particularly well-received. I ... feel like I should draw the line at Zuko/Azula? Only it seems weirdly plausible, in a sick, twisted and horrible way. Um. Yeah.

Oh, that reminds me: there's a comic that takes place between season 2 and season 3 that explains some of the changes. I spent a couple hours tracking it down for someone else. Do you have it already? If not, I can share!


I can't decide if I'm jealous of you actually having all of Avatar to watch at your fingertips or not. I mean, the ridiculous four-month waits between episodes and the will-it-ever-run-ever-again? was awful at the time, but it also raised excitement for new episodes to slavering frothy-mouthed heights. It is true: a world with no new Avatar is very, very sad.

I am definitely jealous of you being asleep right now, though. I should get on that myself.

I THINK WE ALL KNOW THAT'S A YES!
