Eh...if I was biased, I wouldn't be in here XP
I totally promote Maiko and other ships, but I don't see why Maikonians have to knock Zutara all the time, even on petty things.
Anyway, do the people of this thread even want a ship bash? I mean, would anyone even come?

I only stated Katara looks younger than Zuko because you brought up Zutara fan art and that's something that's always bugged me about it. Even if she didn't look younger, fanart in general makes Katara a lot older. I want a shipbash and am willing to help organize it. I’m not sure how many would come since DH has so few Maiko shippers though...

Yeah, I noticed that. It seems like hardly anyone posts in here, I'm amazed at how it made 17 threads! Not that that's a bad thing, but each thread had to have 100 pages, right? How did that happen? o__O I'd like to help too, but I hope it won't be just be two people in there or something, cause that would be sad, and this ship is a lot of fun (despite the personalities of the characters ) Where should it take place? Mai would probably like a dark and quiet place. Oooooh, let's throw Zuko and Mai in a cave together! =D

That's mostly because about 90% of the Maikos left and started their own site.

When information about season 3 started coming out, a lot of irrational and nasty things were said. (It's a dream, Zuko is using Mai, Mai is a trap, it's all lust, etc etc.) Many Maiko fans just decided to pack up and head elsewhere, because they wanted to discuss the show and Mai and Zuko's place within it without having conversations peppered with wank(irrational statements based on nothing other than spite).

Flaming Knives?
Yeah, the wank is irritating, especially since it all stems from who happens to do the voices of the official couple on "American Dragon: Jake Long."
I think the criticism of things like their cheesy dialogue and how much they kiss and how intense things got so quickly is due to how rarely tv relationships are written that way, despite how accurate and realistic it is. Real teenaged couples make out. Real teens are not perfectly articulate and gifted with Shakespearean powers of speech. Real teenagers prefer hugging, cuddling, and kissing to having in-depth conversations (otherwise I wouldn't have found my way between classes in high school constantly blocked by oblivious people necking!) Real couples argue. Real people have irritating flaws you have to learn to accept and live with, not dump them because of them. Maybe realism isn't interesting /because it's real? I don't know, but yes, I got tired of saying it every time I went online to defend my opinion of Maiko.

Maybe it is the fact that "real" couples don't do certain things.
But people still have the right to disagree with the way it was done on screen.
I haven't seen any wank on this site outside the occasional troll. I've seen disagreements, but if there is wanking, you guys should let me know. xP

I wasn't pertaining to anything recent, I'm talking about the aftermath of the comiccon trailer, that was some crazy moments in the fandom.

I have not been here in a loooong time ^^; That's really my fault because shipping has been on the back burner for me recently. As for wank, I have thankfully not seen any real wank on DH however I have seen a lot of it on DA and occasionally on LJ. It's sometimes funny but other times it's just irritating. I think FK is so popular for Maikos is that they can talk openly about their experiences with wank and whatnot. Although it's a great place to talk to other maikos and relax, I have to admit it's not always the best place for serious discussion. That's my opinion however ^^; As for a shipbash, I'd love to help out. If there is a maiko one, I'd definitely participate ^_^ Besides, Shipbashes aren't restricted to just the ship they're celebrating. We should plan something special if we do one jillrg- I agree with you on the teenage behavior thing. I have to admit though that for me, it was sudden at times. I just wish that they had included at least some of the magazine segments into an episode, I believe it would have explained and helped the development a lot. There is no perfect relationship as you said, arguements are going to happen. Once you resolve them and learn to accept and love your partner for who they are, then the relationship will really work. I think maiko is working toward that right now and the time apart will eventually bring the two closer together. ^_^

Where should it take place? Mai would probably like a dark and quiet place. Oooooh, let's throw Zuko and Mai in a cave together! =D Heh, that'd be hilarious. Though outside/near a cave isn’t the most exiting place. Hmm... has anyone done a party around "The Beach" setting yet? I just wish that they had included at least some of the magazine segments into an episode, I believe it would have explained and helped the development a lot. I agree. I think they did/are doing a good job of explaining why Mai and Zuko are good together and such but the transition of them getting together could have be a lot smoother. For example, instead of "The Awakening" being the first episode of S3 it could have been events, shipping and non, from "The Bridge" and "Going Home Again" comics. Still, I think you’re right about the stage Maiko is in. Mai and Zuko were very accepting of each other while they were together (see: Mai not caring about Zuko’s scar at all) but Zuko still did not ask Mai to go with him and we’re not totally sure she would have. Once they get over Zuko’s "betrayal", so to speak, I do think there will be less people claiming the relationship is shallow.

jillrg, wow, the way you said that was very poetic, and very, very true. I'm giving you karma ^_^ That's what sold me to Maiko XD all their PDA. It's so rare to find a relationship on a show that's portrayed so openly, I just loved how they weren't afraid to show they were in love, and didn't try to hide it or anything, though, I think they could've done better in introducing the pairing, because I still can't get over how "The Awakening" screwed it up. Also, I wasn't here at the time of SDCC, so I wouldn't know about bashing and such. I do remember on other sites, especially on ff.net and DA there was a lot of that going on, it was really quite sickening. Especially the idea that the Maiko kiss was a dream. I thought that was just cruel, especially since it's obvious that Zuko means the world to her. but I mean, you can't blame them. Imagine if the Maiko kiss had been a Taang Zutara kiss, I'm willing to bet Kataangers and Maikonians would've flown out of the roof XD Empyreal Maiden, what's FK? um, ship bash. No, I don't think anyone's done one centered around "The Beach", that would actually be quite nice, since most of the Maiko PDA was there XD
