What we did on the weekend, Part I (fannish stuff)

Dec 04, 2007 10:56

On Friday, the fabulous seshat visited branna and her husband in LA, and brought a ton of Gundam Wing doujinshi for me to ogle. I don't know who was sweeter, the former for dragging them all the way here, or the latter two for making me coffee and dinner in their home while I totally ignored them and read a stack of doujinshi. Thanks guys ( Read more... )

doujinshi, anime: gundam wing, tv: avatar the last airbender

Hurrah! The world eneds more Avatar fans so they'll get renewed for a fourth season.

Honestly, as much as I want more Avatar, I also desperately want the story to end after Book 3, as intended. Mike and Bryan clearly have this entire damn thing planned out, and I don't want them to artificially extend the story.

Also, Avatar is not hurting for ratings, from what I know. Nickelodeon is in mad dirty love with the show and wants it to run for a million years. I read an article where they basically said it could be their Harry Potter.

Actually, they've said in Q & A sessions as far back as Season One that S3 isn't supposed to be the end- that they have at least four seasons planned out, and have from the start.

Really? I've always heard they've had three seasons planned out. I mean, Book 3 is Fire. Book 4 would have to be Air, and, thematically, that would only work if the show changed its title to Avatar: One of the Last Few Airbenders.

Do you have any links? The only thing I know about a fourth season is that they've been made aware that Nick loves them, so they've had time to come up with a fourth season story if needed, but they were originally commissioned for three seasons, right?

I can hardly wait till you get to my favorite ep.

While I don't find that description wholly accurate (Sokka's much smarter than Cordy), I have never seen it before, and I commend it.

I am now convinced that Duo/Quatre is the most adorable pairing ever.

I am intrigued and would like to subscribe to your newsletter. =D

^_^ I had fun! We should totally do that again sometime.

Sadly the American fanfic community has almost completely ignored the Duo/Quatre pairing. Not counting zero-system influence, I think the relative stability of both parties makes it less interesting than some of the other combinations to most fic writers. My favorite author out there for 2x4 is girl_starfish, archived at GW Addiction or Dacia's Raygunworks site, and even the best of her stuff is mostly AU.
