I love Zuko when he is being efficient, like where he wore the mask and had two swords and got Aang out of prison... or even better, the one where he broke into the water nation's fortress by swimming under the ice! It's cool that he got suck kick-ass gf too, although, IF i read Avatar fanfic (um, i mean, if Avatar fandon had some writers who were grownups) i would have preferred him with Katara, eventually with Aang coming into a threesome with them (heh)
Yes, when Zuko is not whining, he's entirely bearable. Unfortunately he spent most of the first 2 seasons whining. >.> I'm not into Zuko/Katara at all, canon or fanon -- I can see it but it's wholly unappealing to me.
The reason I like Katara with Zuko is because she is stronger and has kicked his ass in the past.... LOL to be totally honest, I am not really into any pairings in Avatar all that much... while I like that all the women in the show are so strong, becoming part of (their canon) pairings invariably makes them act weak, sumissive or irrational :( plus, everyone is so YOUNG it's just...weird to have them pair off apparently for life, you know? I guess that's mainstream promotion of hetero-norm.. blegh.
Well, Katara's kicked a lot of people's asses! Doesn't really tell me I should ship her with said people. >.> But I do agree about shipping in Avatar -- for me it's purely "awww how cute!" I don't really think about whatever future they're headed towards, and it's all very PG-rated at most. I mean, Aang is twelve.
I sort of see your argument with Katara, but mm, when did Mai act weak, submissive, or irrational? Suki? I can't think of anyone else who got canon-paired-off, and Aang/Katara didn't even happen until the very last moment...
I love Dark Tower. Any time I meet someone who's read the books, I love talking to them about the books, the same way I've done with HP books. But like you, I can't get into the fanfiction (reading or writing).
i'm weeping over all the zuko/mai cooing. i'm staunchly ignoring it because if i ignore it, it never happened. trufax.
what is this someone said above about a season 4???? lisa told me it was all over.
i think the reason you're not fannishly inclined is because i totally got my hopes up that you would write awesome zuko/sokka slash and the universe clearly hates me. yes, it's all about me :D
p.s. - toph is super awesome. katara is super annoying.
I've been reading FMA, and enjoying it, but I was just thinking that I haven't had the urge to stalk FMA communities and get all fannish like I am with HP and Bleach. I feel the same way about Lost, which I really, really love, but I can't imagine any fic topping the plot of the show, and I'm not really invested in the shipping either.
Yeah, I adore FMA -- love the characters and the setting, and have Theories, but really not interested in anything else beyond that. It's so weird to me.

I don't know anything about a season 4. Ask the person who commented?
Hmm, your theory has merit. However, it doesn't explain the other fandoms. :|
p.s. Katara and Toph are both super awesome. Zuko is the annoying one. XP
