Pointless post. Carry on, carry on.

Did LJ delete the "view this page in your own style" option? I can't seem to find it anywhere when I'm looking at other people's journals. I guess it's not a huge deal for me, but there are a few journals/communities that I prefer to view in my own style because their default style gives me a headache and/or eye strain.

I am on an Avatar kick too! Have been ever since I got back from a convention...

I was thinking about this today, and really a:tla is one of those shows where I don't hate most of the ships? I don't even hate zutara, I just don't... care for it... lol. Zuko/Aang makes me lol though. shipping aside, any aang/zuko interaction is my jam.

Have you read The Search comic?

[kyogres]

I think the only AtLA ships I don't particularly like are the canon ones (Zuko/Mai and Aang/Katara)... maybe because of the way they were handled in the show? I mean, I love shipping in fic, but I don't feel like we needed so much time devoted to romance in canon. The show is about kids who can control the elements trying to save the world.

I really like Zuko/Aang (as a pairing or just as bros), but all the Zuko/Aang fanfics I've found have been really ooc for one or both of them. I used to crackship Zuko/Jet because I thought it was hilarious, but now I think I legitimately ship it. Oops.

I haven't read The Search yet. Is it any good? I'm planning to buy it when I have some spare spending money that isn't going towards Pokemon collecting.

I admit I like Aang/Katara, but I'm usually easily influenced by canon. I don't read much fic either, so I don't have much else to go on XD;

If you happen to have any Aang/Zuko fic recs I'd love to hear them! If you happen to know of any good ones, anyway. OOC fics would probably bother me...!

I love The Search so far!! It's only got one issue out right now and I love it more than I loved any of The Promise comics.

[kyogres]

The main reason I disliked Aang/Katara in canon is because they devoted so much time to it. Aang's crush on her was cute, up until the point when entire episodes (the cave, for instance) revolved around it. At that point I was like "I get it, Aang's going through puberty and has a crush on a girl. Please focus on something else, show."

I think the only decent Aang/Zuko fics I've found were collections of drabbles, and right now I don't remember what they were called. One of my favorite AtLA authors has this fic on her rec list, though I haven't read it yet. It's an AU where Zuko and Azula travel with Aang. Not sure how you feel about AUs, but it would probably have quite a bit of Aang and Zuko interaction, at least. The author's note at the beginning says that it's been discontinued though. :/

I was surprised that The Promise comics got so much hate. I didn't love them, but I didn't really dislike them either. If nothing else, I think they were worth $6-$8 a piece for the art and The Dark One. The Dark One was hilarious.

I don't know if you mean individual entries or entire journals, but you can still view individual entries in your own style; append ?style=mine to the end of the URL :)

[kyogres]

Individual entries is fine. I just want to read people's entries without having to squint. Thanks.

I wonder why they took away the "view in own style" checkbox if the "view in own style" url still works...

[tortoises]

It's LJ. They do all kinds of shitty interface stuff XD

[3kame]

So long as you have the little bar at the top the option to view in own style is there.

OMG I'm a big Zuko/Katara fan.

[kyogres]

I still have the bar at the top. I'm not seeing the checkbox anymore (it used to be next to "3kame is your mutual friend") but I just found out how to switch to my own style in the URL bar. I suppose I'll do it that way from now on.

Join ussss. *is a Zutara shipper*

[kyogres]

I didn't realize you were a Zutara shipper. Have any fic recs?

[nagasasu]

Oh, man, I'm not up to date with current fic

Re: lazy linkage

[kyogres]

Thank you for the recs!

Tempest in a Teacup and Catching Shadows were already on my to-read list, but I had never heard of the rest of these.
