Wow...

So for some crazy reason after rewatching the first season of Avatar: The Last Airbender, I decided to go looking for fic. And there's definitely plenty of it! But... I don't know why, but I feel myself inexorably attracted to the Zuko/Katara pairing. Why?? Who knows, but it is the first pairing that goes against canon that I have ever shipped. I idly thought that was where the show was going when I first watched, and was mildly disappointed by the Zuko/Mai pairing, which was always a bit weird to me. And after reading some of the fic out there, I know I ship Zutara (I guess that's their ship name?) hard.

This one fic... I'm still in the middle of it, but it is so good - and I know tons of others agree - over 2,000 reviews do. I feel like the author has really captured the voices of the characters, and I am just drawn into it. For anyone who's interested, it's called Stormbenders by Fandomme. Apparently this author's around on LJ too? I haven't tried to check out the LJ Avatar fic yet, but it seems like most of the quality fic I see on ff.net comes from someone on LJ. Hmmm... In any case. I highly recommend!

This fic rec brought to you by my wasted Saturday.

Thank you, mekosuchinae, for alerting me to this so I can spread the love to all of you!

On the off chance you hadn't heard, help_haiti is a fandom auction to raise money to help with the recovery efforts in Haiti. Fans go and offer to create fic, art, icons, graphics, crafts, etc., and other fans bid on offers, with the winning bidder receiving the item in question after donating their bid in its entirety to a charity. A win-win!

My offer is here. I'm offering 10 drabbles between 100-500 words for one of the following fandoms (the fandom to be selected by the winning bidder, obvs.): HIMYM, TBBT, DCAU/whatever involves Lois & Clark, and The Princess and the Frog (if you're interested in me trying other fandoms, you can certainly ask). Additional info re: pairings, what I won't write, etc., can be found there.

I know many of y'all are both talented and socially conscious, so I hope you join in on this, whether by bidding and/or contributing items/fic!

The starting bid for my offer is $5! If you're interested. Again, my thread is here.

Whew! While I am by no means as prolific as others, for my own sanity I have created a Fanfiction Master List over at my new fic comm, noordinarybrain . You know. For those who are interested (and maybe that's only you, Mezz, but ask, and you shall receive! ::blows kisses::).
