Can't even remember the last time I was on FF.net
Guess when the show ended I left the fandom in a way. I've been meaning to see how that Persephone/Hades (I think it was, been so long) Zutara parallel story ended.

Ah, I only got about halfway into that fic if it's the same one as I'm thinking of. I actually quite liked it, but I think I forgot to finish reading it because it was still in progress, and real life caught up on me.

The show ending and me not having time for it anymore. But I'm on a four day weekend so I'll likely get to it.

I don't really venture in the Avatar fandom anymore. Except (kind of) Zutara fanart. The latest Zutara Week produced lots of pretties again.
When it comes to fanfiction, I roam ff.net rather than lj for the same reasons as Night, despite being more active on lj. It's just more organized and accessible.
Maybe I should read fanfics again when I have more free time... Or actually try to read Stormbenders completely. I've tried before but I quit after the second chapter because it didn't appeal to me.

Eh, Stormbenders. I read the whole thing and honestly don't remember much. I never understood why people claim that it's so amazing - I've found plenty of fics that are more captivating (at least to me).

I remember the title but never that much about Stormbenders.
ngl I've always been partial to WW's Dangerous Ground. (;

Same here. =D I just adore her writing style and I loved the way Zuko and Katara's relationship grew instead of "eyes-meet-love-4ever".
I also really liked Dancing in the Dark by DamageCtrl. Alas I haven't read many multi-chaptered Zutara fics but those two are two of the best imho.

Dangerous Ground and Dancing in the Dark are both amazing. They both don't have OMG ACCIDENTAL KISS WOW ZUKO THAT WAS PRETTY COOL LET'S SECRETLY GO OUT. I really do hate that.

^That's just bad ficcage all around though. That's not limited just to Zutara.

^That's just bad ficcage all around though. That's not limited just to Zutara. True, but I've noticed a bunch of it in Zutara fanfiction. It certainly is a sign of a bad fic, though. :D

Zutara fics seem to have their own clichés such as Zuko/Katara bathing and the other one watching and falling in love. Or the most obvious one: the capture fics.

^ROFL the capture fics. OMG WHAT A CLICHE.
Sad thing is, there are one or two of those that are done really, really well, but people ignore them because of the majority.
