The Alternative: Extended Fanfic Notes
Apr. 12th, 2011 02:53 pmThis is an extended fanfic note, a section where I discuss fanfiction I've written, in a longer form than is practical to put in the body of a story. I love writing about writing, and there's always more I want to say than most readers would be interested in knowing.
The Alternative was my first Avatar: The Last Airbender fanfic, my first foray into a fandom that had become something of an obsession but I had not written for thus far.
The basic idea was one that I had had ever since I saw Azula in action in Book 2 of the show. I kept thinking: So that's who's going to be Firelord if Zuko doesn't? Absolutely ruthless, lacking in any personal empathy or moral compass, emotionally abusive, a pathological liar, cruel to animals - a classic, textbook sociopath ruling over the most militarily advanced nation in the world?
No. Nonononono. Do not want.
( If I was thinking along these lines, I could bet Zuko was, too. )
