but they didn't which is why there are many disappointed people.

of course.
half of the reason I wrote this was because I wanted to see if I could write a better series... ~Azula~

sweet, thanks.
one thing I always found unbelievable was that all of the main characters were prodigies. that's why I differentiated.

yeah, that's really good. Your characters are born awesome. On avatar people like Katara worked so it didn't seem so amazing when she did something neat.

yeah, I tried to make mine believable.
if there's an advanced technique, it's not going to be mastered in a night and a half, even by the greatest prodigy.
all of my young [14-18] "Master" benders pretty much devoted their whole lives to their arts, which is why they became masterful as young as they did.

yeah, that was one aspect of Avatar I didn't like. all of the main characters were too young to be really believable.
that's why all my bada$$ characters are older, and the ones that are absurdly powerful [Katara] are negated with a huge, glaring weakness.

how did you even decide to write something like this anyway?

the more I think about it, the less I know.
I think it sprung from a dead RPG I was once in where the avatar was the villain. later in the story, she was going to end up turning good again, but there werre still going to be people that wanted to kill her. I then decided that making an all-out civil war would be a cool story, and so I kinda just started winging it.
as for the characters, the oldest ones I had were Alzar, Shinon, Aiku, Zinjamyn, and Zakura. [and I wanted a non-bender, who eventually became Ryuka]
the others just sort of formed as the story went along... ~Katara~

that's cool. So did you actually plan on it being long and stuff from the beginning? or did the story make itself that long?

it's had an occasional extension, but yeah, for the most part I was expecting a rather long series...

sweet. my only problem is that I want to find out what happens in the end, I just don't want it to be over.
