Avatar Plot Bunnies Are The Worst Kind
Oh gosh, please tell me why I am getting Avatar fic ideas in my head when I have never finished any story outside of school assignments? I really do not need this haunting my thoughts. lol But I however do need to get it out of my head and somewhere, so for now my lovely journal you will get to hear my brand of crazy.
To begin you need to know some backstory. A while back, around the time season 3 of Avatar had just premiered, I got the idea for this semi AU story. Basically all of the characters live in a modern day world and are attending the same college. They decide to take one class together and this happens to be a class along the lines of "fantasy mythology/history thing". Well, what do they study but the legend of the Avatar and bending and of course the tale of Aang because his story takes up a large majority of this myth or something. The worst part of this little story, though, is the fact that all of them had been having dreams of events and things that never happened to them and the deeper they get into the history the more vivid the dreams become and the more familiar events in the class sound. Slowly they come to realize that they are in fact reincarnations of these people and that they are regaining memories of their past lives because there is a need for bending and the Avatar again. And somewhere along the lines there was going to be something like "Aang is the Avatar again!" or "You need to find the current Avatar and inform him of his past and the world's history or something".
It was this horrible story that I was hoping to make some epic novel fic out of when I had never even wrote a single scrap of decent fic ever and now I have this backstory explaining why there is no more bending and how they can regain their bending which makes even less sense.
You see it's 200 years after Aang's tale and technology has grown because of that there is no longer a need for benders or the Avatar. The White Lotus, consisting of the last few masters of their bending arts, are afraid of the outcome should bending die entirely, so each of the masters begin work on scrolls detailing the mentality and movements of their bending without really explaining that it is elemental bending. They hide it somewhere where they are sure no one will find it and disband. The White Lotus is no more. Fast forward to the future where an archaeologist has uncovered these scrolls and left them for study. This mean that the bending arts detailed in them have now become world wide martial arts phenomena and people now practice each bending art.
So, yeah. Long and ranty and makes absolutely no sense but in my head and I kind of want to write it, but sincerely doubt I would finish it or even make it as awesome as it sounds in my head. So, thoughts on what I should do or how to get rid of long, rapid plot bunnies? XD
