Originally posted to Avatar Online, but since I have long since despaired of intelligent discussion on most fan forums I'll repost here. See also The Myth of Canon (found via

amyraine 's essay recs), Death of the Author etc.

( Of Jet, Zutara, and gay!Dumbledore )

It seems to me reliance on Word of God too often takes away flexibility in favor of easy answers. The gods can talk, but no one needs to listen. The story should speak for itself.
