What You Do To Make Your Heart Beat (AtLA, Zuko/Katara)

[dahlia_moon]

A little note - in case anyone was mildly interested - this story is not what I had intended to write - or, consequently had written since I signed up for schmoop_bingo . 1,406 words in, I decided to go a completely different way. Because the 1,406 story was turning into an epic (at least for me) and I was nowhere getting near the schmoop, and frankly, was

awh... it's very sweet. I like angst, but I also just ocassionally like the sweet, no real issues fated Zutara moments. It was refreshing and sends me to bed on a happy note.

I don't understand this bingo business... what's a schmoop?

Yeah, I'm kinda like that too; sometimes love to read the angst, but other times, am in the mood for something sweet. ^^;

Schmoop is like the opposite of angst: the lovey-dovey sweet stuff - what this fic is essentially. If you've ever played the game Bingo, this is similar. You have to write a certain amount of fics with the card the mods give you and then you'll get a "Bingo" (which means you win that round). (To get a "Bingo", you can either write fics with prompts that go either straight, diagonally or horizontally on the card, or you can write fic for every prompt on the card.)

Schmoop_bingo's existence, I believe, was inspired by hc_bingo, which is where you write hurt/comfort fics to get a "Bingo." Understand? Hope that helps. :D

It does, thanks! I'm new to the LJ/Community fanfic thing, and I'm slowly collecting terms like rec and meme and now, schmoop. There's much more interaction over here on the front end; it's not like writing in a vacuum over at FF and then getting reviews.

I personally love to use LJ more than FF.Net. (I do have an account there as well, but I use it more for archiving purposes, LJ has a more "community" feeling to it - it's much better for my fannish purposes because there's more interaction and I learn a lot more than I ever did using FF.Net.)

Welcome to LJ! It's awesome. :D
