(Where are you, my fellow Ursaites?) I'm here. Anyway, I like your fancomic so far. I can't say a lot because it's pretty blurry but I do love the idea of modern Ursai. Mainly because Ozai wouldn't be so obsessed with power and their relationship would wind up totally different. And the fact Katara and Sokka's Mom is there makes it even more fun. Oh, also, I'm not an Ozai fangirl but your Osric sketch is great.

Thank you! I'm glad you like the idea of a modern Ursai fancomic, and also i'm glad you liked my sketch. (I'll admit that part of the reason--part, not all of it, mind you--that i ship Ursai so avidly is that i get to swoon right along with Ursa... lol) That was actually the second page of my fancomic that i posted, b/c i partly wanted to show you guys the top right panel, which i really like--I think it's a good shot of Osric, and i love the way it came out.
I know the fancomic page is kind of blurry right now, but once i ink it and everything it will hopefully be a lot clearer. I'd like to get the first and second pages up soon, since i'm not too far from being done with them (and the next pages as well), but i'm not sure when. It's hard to find time for stuff like that in college, and the fact that my forearm tendons have been hurting recently makes it hard to draw very much...which sucks, but i'm working on recovering from the tendonitis (which is what it is). *decides post is long enough* lol Go Ursai! ^-^

Sorry to double post--i just wanted to let you guys know that the second poem in my Urzai collection on FF.net is up, and hopefully more will be added soon. (This one is my re-written version of Scarborogh Fair--here's the link.) ^-^

*Looks around* Wow...This place is dead. Where is everyone? Well, maybe a topic will get people talking....um...typing. XD
If we rule out an arranged marriage. How do think Ozai would have proposed?

^Karma for reviving the thread! About your question, let's see... That's hard to say. Surprisingly enough, I don't have a "fanfic theory" (theory that i'd write about in a fic) for that one... Or do i? *thinks through many Ursai theories* I'm thinking Ozai would have gone with something extravagant, just cause he has attitude, and that goes along with having flair. One of my theories (picked up from/supported by varoius fanfics i've read), is that young Ozai could be quite charming when he wanted to, in kind of a sophisticated way. (You'll see what i mean if i ever finish one of the many fics floating around in my head...) Speaking of discussion starters, I'm almost done with an Ursai music video (my first muvid ever!), which I'll post when it's done. And maybe this will give me the incentive to finish it--i'm right at the end, but i haven't worked on it for a while... Been engaged in other Ursai-relevant pursuits. Edit: I finished it! Minus the effects, if I add any. Here's the link to my Urzai music video. I should warn you, though--the song has some rather mature lyrics (it's Wish I Had an Angel by Nightwish). But I'm really proud of how it turned out, and glad that other people can see the fruits of my Urzai-related labor! ^-^

Cool video. It's pretty good for a first vid. I didn't even really like the music, but still enjoyed the video. But, it was wierd seeing other people fill in for Ursai.
Oh and please share the fanfic when you find it! I love fanfic! ^.^

Thanks--I know Nightwish isn't everyone's cup of tea, but i'm glad you like my vid. I wasn't thinking strongly of a particular fanfic (other than one that i'm planning to write), but here are a couple by other people that fit what i was talking about. EphemeraRedemption (That one isn't about post-war Ursai, despite the title, and the relevant section is the first chapter, which tells about Ursa and Ozai's courtship.) If you're interested, there are lots more Ursai fics in a C2 community that I manage (and that gigirl942 helps me with), called Mother Bear and Father Flame.

Yeah, it's hard sometimes... I've spent lots of time searching thru Urzai fanfics, tho (a product of a shipper's dedication lol), so i'm happy to point them out to other people. By the way, one of the fanfics in that C2 community i posted the link to is by me--it's the collection of poems titled The Lord and the Exile, a Prince and his Princess. Just some random Ursai poems, if you want to read them. But a lot of other fanfics in that C2 are good, too.

You've already given something by reviving this thread. So don't worry about it--i know from experience that it takes time and persistance to find good fanwork for this ship (especially since it's rarer than for some of the others).

It is super hard to find Ursai stuff! Most likely because a lot of people believe that Ozai beat Ursa of something else evil...
There is a lot of pairing Ursa with Iroh(sp?)! That is just sick! Who wants to sleep with someone your sibling has been with! ? O.o ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!~ Sorry, I just hate that pair... -_-

I don't like it either... It really irks me when people assume that Ursa must have not liked Ozai because he's a tyrant during the series. She doesn't have the fans perspective--she was raised in the "evil" Firenation, and Ozai probably wasn't quite so much on the "dark side" back then. lol Sorry, I enjoyed that opportunity to rant... But now, I'd better go work on my young Ursai fanfic. ^-^ (I'll post it here as I get it done, and if you want, I can tell you a bit of the plot.)

OMG!!! I hate when fans give a character there views on things! Ursa grew up in a rich fire nation family. She mostly has pride in her nation!
OK. I'm done ranting....I think....*waits happily for HeartofFire's fanfic*

I know. I like to give a character some of my own ideas/feelings in fanfiction, if they fit (for instance, my fangirlhood of Ozai translates well into making Ursa fall for him lol). But I try to keep them in character, and take into account their situation.
Speaking of which, glad to see you're looking forward to it--I'm not sure when i'll be ready to post any, but i'm working hard (at the moment) on the first scene. So assuming inspiration doesn't abandon me, it shouldn't be overly long. I'll try and make it worth the wait, tho! Tomorrow I'll tell you some of the plot, if you want, but right now i need to go to bed...
(By the way, the first scene of my postwar Ursai fanfic is on the previous page--i think--in case you want to read that in the meantime.)
