It's been a while...  
It's been a while since I've posted anything. Life got a bit busy. So here's what I was able to come up with. Hope you like (better than the last thing I posted, anyway).

Title: A Matter of Minutes
Rating: G
Disclaimer: I don’t own “Avatar: The Last Airbender” or anything associated with it.

WARNINGS: Minor spoiler for 3x12

"I don't hate you."



And if you're interested, I fixed the ending on my last fic. Now it's just ordinary as opposed to corny. I think it's an improvement, anyway!

Zuko has a new ending to an old dream.

Fanart rec: "Hand Games" by shaolinfeilong  
I wanted to share this fanart with you guys, because it's one of my all-time favorites. You might have seen it before, but if you haven't, it's great. It's not romantic--I wouldn't say it's that--but it is really funny and, I think, probably very in character. I giggle every time.

Summary: Ink, overwork and helpfulness. A short conversation between Zuko and Katara.

A/N: This is sort of my good-bye to the Avatar fandom. With all the giant spoilers floating around, I'm withdrawing myself from everything Avatar-related until the actual episodes come out. Anyway, this oneshot is completely dedicated to my dear friend </a></b></a>[info]mizumichan, for inspiring me and making me feel positive about this pairing. I hope you like it, and good luck with your finals!!! Oh, this is 100% unbeta-ed, because I'm that lazy.

Book stuff... if nothing else, ATLA can claim to be the Fandom With the Cruelest Schedule Ever.  
As you know, spoilers for the end of the series are coming out tomorrow in the form of a kid's book. This was probably planned with the original intended release of the episodes, and for whatever reason they couldn't change it when they delayed the airing schedule.

I know spoilers have been a big topic on all the ATLA comms for the past few weeks, and we've been pretty strict about it here. Thank you, thank you, for being patient with us. Thank you for respecting your fellow members; overall, you guys have been great and believe me, we know how much of a headache all this is.

The community is still on mod-approved entries right now. We were actually about to back to unmoderated status until we found out about the book with the end of the story being released this week. We decided to stay as we are for a little while, just in case a troll decides to try what again to spoiler-bomb all the LJ comms.

I know a lot of people have differing opinions about whether spoilers really matter if the episode is aired in another country, or leaked onto the internet. These are real and valid concerns, and we understand that you want a place with your fellow shippers where you can talk about spoiler stuff.

What's comming out with the book is different. It's not just episodes that everyone can buy on DVD. It's not just episodes that anyone can download off a torrent. At least those you can watch....you're still seeing a whole episode.

This "Sozin's Comet" book... it's the series finale. These are the last spoilers you're going to get, the biggest ones you can get. This is how it all ends. Written in a book for 6-11 year olds.

Please, please respect your fellow members and don't spoil people in comments or in posts. Don't send spoilery stuff to the posting queue that we'll be forced to read. I want to see the fights and the tears and the epic speeches for the first time on the show itself, not in a kid's book.

It's one thing to be ruined for the middle of the season. It's far, far worse to be ruined for the very end of your favorite tv show. Celebrate or rage as you please in your own journals, or in [info]spoil_me_atla. Please--and thank you, as well.


Most sincerely yours,

Rashaka

 I finally added another chapter to my drabble series; this newest installment is another Zutara centric dribble.

It's somewhat from Aang's viewpoint, which is something I've always wanted to try.


WARNING: A SLIGHTLY SPOILERY HINT IN THIS THIRD CHAPTER FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN'T SEEN 312 OR BEYOND
