*longing sigh*

The past couple of days I started feeling very nostalgic for my old-school fandoms.

Like, yesterday I was wondering if in the two? three? years since I've been out of Saiyuki, has anyone written any new Yaone het?

And also, I was reminiscing about the days prior to Avatar's finale and the casting!fail of the movie, when Suki was climbing up walls and my love for Zutara burned like a fiery heart.

First of all, belatedly -- CONGRATULATIONS! *hugs, flings confetti, etc.*

As for fandom goodies, I haven't seen any good HxY lately, but there have been a few pieces of real quality Gojyo het in the last year or so -- a little Gojyo/Yaone, and a couple of different amazing, heartwrenching Gojyo/Kanan pieces. (Also a cracktastic-sounding but remarkably good AU Sanzo/Lirin, believe it or not!) There's also been a little Gyokumen/Yaone and Gyokumen/Hwan fic, if you're in the mood for some really dark yuri.

And as for A:TLA reminiscing, you might want to drop by snarp's journal, where there's been some really interesting meta on gender issues in animanga recently, including one post focused specifically on Avatar. Lots of juicy discussions going on there, and I'm trying to lure her into Black Lagoon. (Speaking of which, there's been some nifty BL het and yuri produced for the last couple of rounds of springkink)

Strange that you posted this. I had just finished reading your fic: "Ghosts With A Negative Age", because...well, sometimes I just like going back and reading old, but awesome fics, and when I clicked back I thought I'd made some mistake when I saw the Hakkai icon. XD

But yeah, I'm also dipping back into some Avatar. I miss when I could think of that series without thinking of the immense casting!fail.

I get like that with Naruto. I mean I still read it, just cause it was such a life line for me when I was really stuck, but I just don't care anymore. I just want Naruto and Sasuke to die. Which I'd hate and simultaneous love.

I realize now that I never did offer congrats to you graduating. Congrats! I hope you've had a good time taking it easy.

I know how you feel about Saiyuki. I've considered getting back into the fandom, but I had a little bit of drama with a BNF and I really don't want to check to see if she's still current in the fandom anymore. Also, a lot of the friends I've made in the fandom have moved on to other things. I also need to catch up on the manga.

That image always makes me want to write Gyokumen/Hwan, and I'm really starting to dig Hwan and enjoy writing her the few times I have. And yeah, the lack of Yaone love in the fandom makes me sad.

maaaaaaaaaaaaan a friend of mine was watching Sozin's Comet the other day and so I went and watched it with a group of people, and DAMN, MY SHIP, YOU ARE SO EPIC AND TRUE. And I treated myself to not watching the last eightish minutes, and instead writing post-healing makeout fic in my head.

MAN, ATLA, YOU ARE SUCH AN EPIC SHOW IN MY HEART, TOO BAD YOU SUCK IN THE REAL WORLD THESE DAYS. :-( :-(

I've been feeling the same way about A:TLA lately, especially since finding out how much of an ass the creator of iCarly can be and I needed a break from some of the idiots in the fandom (or rather, creeps). And even now that I'm back in iCarly, all the stuff about the horrid movie and the casting fail makes me miss the A:TLA fandom.
