This may seem weird and rather totalitarian but as a writer and in many ways a realist (actually I'm an idealist but there are certain things like writing) but when I read Legend of Korra fanfiction I get so frustrated when people totally disregard what has been laid flat. I understand that they have the right to write whatever they want but I'm seriously tired of everyone talking about shipping. In the fanfictions they rarely capture the character of the characters or do something so drastically odd that I find myself facepalming.

The reason I get frustrated is because I'm trying to imagine what the in between stuff might be and they never really fit. Mako isn't drooling over Korra. Korra wouldn't ball into Mako at this point. It's always love..love..and more love. Can't people get original and try to write realitically. If all of these fanfictions were true than no one would like Avatar. I'd love to write a fanfiction but my schedule is hectic and I'm already trying to write my own series for publication (not Avatar related) so I can't.

I would really appreciate if someone would try to write something mature and not all about love.

Think about it, in our lives we don't focus our lives on romance (if you do, seek to find balance in your life) Romance gets boring after a while if there isn't anything else counteract it! Characters need to have more substance that "I love you!" "You are my life now!" "I want to be with you forever!" Build character who are independent of other characters we don't need another Bella Swan or Edward Cullen.

WRITER OUT!
