Come one, come all to the fanontastic fanonbender’s fanon competition!

The most recent competition wasn’t recent enough, but it’s a new dawn, a new day, a new life, and we’re feeling pretty good about the recent (ongoing) revitalisation of the portal.

Step one: bring the gang back together (complete)

Step two: provide more opportunities and reasons for the users on the wiki to engage with the portal (ongoing).

And the first step in completing the second step is to restart the fanonbender’s fanon contest.

For those of you who weren't here for the last one, or who have simply forgotten how it works, the contest is structured thusly (with some minor changes):

The fanonbenders (, , and ) choose a prompt and perhaps some conditions such as maximum wo…

Come one, come all to the fanontastic revitalisation of the fanon... everything. The fanon site, the fanonbenders, fanon! Fanon, fanon, fanon! (does it look like a made-up word yet?)

Just how we all get nostalgic for the Disney golden age, so too are we nostalgic for the old days of the fanon portal. But, those days have been and gone, and now we need to look to the future. (here we are in the futureeeee......)

So there are a few things that we're working to change, update or improve. There is currently a War Room forum regarding a few (potential) changes to the way we categorise fanons. We currently have a completed and a discontinued category; the proposal argues the need for an 'active' category so users can find stories that are currentl…

We're here with your secret valentine submissions and can't wait for you to read them. May all your romantic dreams come true and if not, read the BSST anyway. You know you want to.

My beloved BSST readers (however many of you actually exist),

What do you mean it's not actually Valentine's Day today? Don't you know that we have our own definition of time? The members of the BSST staff identify as Time Lords, so, we have every say in deciding what day it is. And we're not tardy.

Anyway, thank you for taking the time celebrate love on Avatar Wiki! (And I know it's totally not because you're single and have nothing to do, right? You love this place!) You might be here mainly for the modest collection of anony…

Send a secret valentine before it's too late! Your love will be featured in the BSST's February-exclusive issue, and we guarantee it'll be oogie-rific.

Merry Christmas, Avatar Wiki! And if you don't celebrate Christmas, then Happy Holidays to you! Either way, get your Holiday spirit on and join the partay!

"It's alive! Mwuhahaha!..."

Yes folks, you heard it right! The Ba Sing Se Times will be making a return just in time for Halloween! But we need your help.
For the next issue, we're calling on all fanon authors to answer the following question:

Does the fear of being controlled by a bloodbender haunt your character's dreams? Or getting lost in the spooky and mysterious spirit world? Does your fanon character avoid travelling across oceans out of sheer terror for what lurks in the deep abyss below? Whatever it is, we want to hear from you!

Get your entries in quick to have them featured in the next BSST issue!

So I spent a four-hour car ride brainstorming if I were to make a new Avatar series, where I would begin. Since I was young I've loved telling good stories with detailed plot and character development and hope to eventually start publishing novels. I've read about the "twins" idea and it's completely stupid. Vaatu was executed poorly to begin with, and we do not need to bring Korra's failures into Avatar by creating an evil twin. Also, having twins split Raava's spirit in some way and "sharing the elements" is totally contrary to everything we know. No, there is one Avatar and while it would be cool to explore a sibling or twin dynamic, that does not need to be the entire premise of the new series. Here is my suggested alternate idea:

Time-…

Hi, y'all.

As we all know, Bryan and Mike are now helming a new, live-action adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender.

Hello everyone! Welcome to my first ever friendly neighborhood ghostly interview. Now that the Fanon Review Squad and Fanon Fact Finders have merged, I have an opportunity to start a new series where I ask questions of fanon authors about their stories and their writing, so that we can delve into the worlds of their imagination together. Today, I will be interviewing someone well-known around Avatar Wiki (or is it Avatar Fandom now? Don't ask me, the site I joined had mainspace comments, user talk pages, anonymous users and fanon admins) , author of the award-winning !

Hey Minn. How are you doing today?
Hello there, Ghost of Roku! Thanks for having me. I’m feeling quite groovy, how about you?
I'm doing well. So, let's dive in! What were your …

Okay, so I had a fanon story that I kind of abandoned, It was essentially that 14 years before Aang got out of the ice-burg, Vaatu was released from the tree of time and reincarnated as the Chaotic avatar, or avatar of chaos(whichever you prefer,)  a boy named Beriku, a water bender born into a fire nation family.  the story was going to the point of Beriku meeting his Great-uncle Monsuta Chi who would have taught him water bending, he would eventually realize that Monsuta had formed a secret society of water benders, some fire benders, and of course... Bloodbenders.  Monsuta offers Beriku join him, but he declines, leading to the two dueling, Beriku winning while mastering bloodbending, from there he realizes what he is, joins the war, re…

It centres around an adult avatar, 10,000 years or so from Korra's time. Vaatu has been reborn inside of the Avatar spirit and mostly taken over. It is revealed that it was always his plan for Korra to defeat him so he could be reborn inside the Avatar and become a true "dark avatar". This has led to a long line of "evil" avatars that have each brought about tyranny, destruction and chaos in the world. The world no longer remembers the good avatars like Korra and as a result the world fears and hates the Avatar.

I envision this story as a one-book thing that centres mostly around inner conflict and trying to defeat Vaatu which means bending won't be what drives the plot forward. Throughout the story the purpose of the Avatar's role will be …

Episode: "The Voice in the Night"                                                                                                                                                                               

While Meelo displays no shortage of embarassing and/or off-color behavior, one of the most memorable instances was at the gala Tarlok held to bribe Korra onto his task force. Soon after their arrival, Tenzin embarassedly shouts "Meelo! No, that's not a toilet!" and covers his face in shame. Personally, I imagined a punch bowl or some kind of fountain as the culprit. Either way, it's not a very pleasant image. We don't know if Meelo was stopped in time, but as the incident was never mentioned again, I think it's safe to say most people …

Ok, hit a bit of a roadblock with a character in Chaos is Life.  I'm considering giving Rokai a role as a main character, being the groups fire bender/medical man, in a few chapters, though nothing concrete and I plan to add two more characters, an earth bender and another character, both at the end of book one and in book 2, so I am not sure weather or not to give rokai the position, Aries can only hold so many people.  so I'm leaving it up to the community. 

Like most franchises intended for younger audiences, Avatar also contains a fair amount of adult humor and innuendo to tickle the funny bones of older fans. In this blog series, Legend of Innuendo (henceforth labeled LoI), I thought it would be fun to highlight some of these sublte (and not so subtle) mature insertions and see what everyone thinks. No promises of regualrly-timed submissions, but will post as often as ideas come to me. Feel free to comment and debate. 

Hello my fellow benders, as you should probably know, I have uploaded Chaos is life to this site, but fact is I need a little help.  while the future plot for book One is sound, the other two books have more gaps then story, so if anyone has any ideas for events that should happen, please send em my way.  C.A., Out. 

hello everyone, I am currently writing a fanfic called Chaos is life, it can be found in the avatar section of fanfiction.net, any ideas for what I should do with it are welcome. 

Happy New Year, Avatar Wiki! 2019 holds lots of surprises for this franchise, so have a cookie. Dance with someone!

Well everybody, another year is at it end. Although 2018's felt a bit like three years, hasn't it? As the year draws to a close I'd like to keep up the tradition the tradition I started last year, that is, of taking my time to thank the users who participate on the wiki, however that may be. By editing pages, engaging in discussion, writing fanon, etc! You're all valuable members of our community and I'm so happy to have all of you.

For those of you who are returners, new, or otherwise missed out last year, here's a rundown of how user appreciation month goes. Anybody can respond in the comments with a user, list of users, category of users, etc., that they want to thank for something they've done this year, bonus points if you include reaso…

Happy Halloween! We hope it was spooky (or spoopy) enough for everyone! Ours was great, reading all these awesome submissions. The authors definitely went for a Halloweeny feel, and we can tell! Unfortunately for us, we have to try and choose a winner.

It was a close call, but this month, we've decided to crown , with his , as the winner. His oneshot was up to his usual quality (ie. absolutely amazing) and we really enjoyed it. The transitions seemed a little sudden at times, but the overall spookiness was fantastic!

The other three were close. We loved – the first person really added to the chills, and though it wasn't a fast start, it was a horrifyingly satisfying ending! has all the aesthetics needed for an atmospheric Halloween story, …

Hello all fanon portal authors! The time has come for another one of our contests!

It has certainly been a while since our last contest, hasn't it? Just a little under three years, but who's counting? Anyway, I'm very happy to announce that we're back with a new prompt we'd like to see you all try! Since it is October, a month known for the famous holiday Halloween, we were thinking it would be nice to make this month's prompt "spooky themed"! Take "The Puppetmaster" for example - that was spooky.

Feel free to write anything you come up with, but key points that will be evaluated are going to be:

• Overall spookiness.
• Grammar, spelling.
• Between 2000 - 4000 words.

For those of you who don't remember, this story can be a one-shot or a chapter of one o…

Hello everyone. Ever since the upcoming Netflix reimagining for Avatar was announced, I have been wondering what sequence Netflix will use to transform the 3 Books into live action seasons. By that I mean that while this show only had 3 seasons and the episodes had a run-time of under half an hour, it was so visually intensive, epic in scope, and adventurous in terms of long distances traveled that they would probably be better off making the jump to live action by splitting the Books into at least 2 seasons, especially if they will just have 8–10 episodes per season like Game of Thrones and other shows from Netflix with a massive and expensive scope like Marco Polo.

If the episodes themselves end up being around 45 minutes long then all th…

That's right, guys, we're not dead yet! From co-creators Bryan Konietzko and Michael Dante DiMartino comes a brand new live-action adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender.

In an official statement from Bryan Konietzko, he says,

"We’re thrilled for the opportunity to helm this live-action adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender. We can’t wait to realize Aang’s world as cinematically as we always imagined it to be, and with a culturally appropriate, non-whitewashed cast.

It’s a once-in-a-lifetime chance to build upon everyone’s great work on the original animated series and go even deeper into the characters, story, action, and world-building. Netflix is wholly dedicated to manifesting our vision for this retelling, and we’re incredibly gratef…

Looking for a good fanon? Here's an official review of the talented Kyoshidude's story, Gods of War!

Working for the FRS was the first spark to set off every random thing I do on this wiki. I don't remember being punctual back in 2012, either, so today's tardiness probably surprises no one #_# That being said, the author I'm featuring today deserves every bit of praise for his writing prowess and patience. Let's hit the scores!

*Scores are based on a scale from 0 to 10. If you'd like your own fanon reviewed, see here for availability.

Who should read this fanon?

Classic fans of the Avatar series and adventure. The fanon captures all that's beautiful about the series and more.

Reviewer's word of advice:

Remember that every character counts! Make yo…

This Page is not going to cover the last 4 episodes of Avatar The Last Airbender (Sozin’s Comet Part 1-4) because undoubtedly those are the best episodes. Moreover, these are in random order because this page just mentions the best episodes and the choice of numbering is your own opinion. Better to say it the "Must Watch" episodes of Avatar The Last Airbender.

 Ever wondered why the ATLA is regarded as the best TV show. Well, that is because all of the characters have a proper character arc. In the beach, the backstory started with Ty Lee who told her story to join the circus, followed by May & then Zuko expresses that even he is home he isn’t happy & finally after a long time in the show, Azula states her story that she felt that her mothe…

Is there any word on a possible new Avatar series? 

Also, what would you like a new series to be about? Korra, a new Avatar?

I would like it to be a continuation of Korra's story, but not really an adaption of the comics, which were supposed to be. I would like it to be it's own canon, like Dragon Ball Super. The anime and manga are very different, but both are their own canon continuations of Dragon Ball. 

The Natural Locations for Filming are in:

Book 1 Locations:

Southern/Northern Water Tribe Lands: Svalbard, Norway

Patola Mountain Range: Zhangjiajie National Forest, China

Various Forests: Muskoka & Tobermory, Ontario, Canada

Jet’s Forest: Aokigahara National Forest, Japan

Sheltered Cave from “The Storm”: Bruce Peninsula National Park, Canada

Mt. Makapu: Mt. Taranaki, New Zealand

Northern Air Temple Mountians: Southern Alps, New Zealand

Book 2 Locations:

Foggy Swamp: New Orleans Bayou, Louisiana, United States

Grasslands (Zuko Alone): Grasslands National Park, Canada

Grasslands (The Chase): Yellowstone National Park, United States

Abandoned Quarry (Bitter Work): Dinosaur Provincal Park, Canada

Valley of Singing Gophers: Grasslands National Park, Canada

I am Planning on having Jason Momoa cast as Combustion Man for the Remake, Let me Know what you think in the comments below.

There are more than enough things wrong with M. Night’s Last Airbender, seeing the problems in this, I decided to think of developing a more faithful Live Action Remake of Avatar: The Last Airbender, in the form of a TV series, In tone and in Comedy.

Things will include:

1. Better actors

2. Less White Actors

3. Better Visual Effects and Bending Physics

4. Big-atures of certain Locations (Air Temples, Pohuai Stronghold, etc.) provided by Weta Workshop

5. Slight re-designs of costumes and characters (including Zuko)

6. Less Exposition

7. Getting the Ethnicities for Certain Characters right.

8. Actors that will know their characters better.

Do you think this will work? Or do you think it will it turn out badly, let me know in the comments.

Alittle silent release of the confirmation of a new Nicktoons console game after 7 years? You shouldn't have...

Hey guys!! I wanted to ask you  how do you think your own Avatar story would be like ?? You can write me and I 'm going to read them all and tell you my opinion.

Kisses Lucy ^.^

Hello !

While I was taking care of the Asami'page on Wikia french with help of page in english, I saw that there were only links of Histories of Books One and Two and not those of Books Three and Four, 'cause only the pages of first two seasons are done (more those of relationships, of course). Seeing that the other characters (Teams Avatar and allies) have all their pages (histories), except Asami, I wonder if this is due to a "simple" forgetfulness or something else (lack of time...).

Please, give me a reponse so that I can continue my work on Asami.

Thanks in advance.

Blue-Arcania.

PS : I'm French and I prefer that this task (missing stories) be done by english.

Ozai is a much maligned Avatar antagonist. Not because of his genocidal intent but because after seeing the Legend of Korra, many people have accused him of lacking significant depth. Compared to Amon and Kuvira who suffered childhood trauma and have analogues to real-world ideologies behind their actions (communism and fascism respectively), Ozai doesn't.

They claim Ozai has no reason to act as he does. His father is not seen to have abused him. He doesn't seem to have any ideology about him. So why does he act like this? Kuvira, on the other hand, wished to reunite her nation through fascist means and all this was a result of the trauma of being abandoned as a child. Amon likely turned against bending after his rutheless father tortured t…

Let's talk about something I want to talk about. Although you might not be interested in hearing personal opinions or reviews, I would appreciate if you read at least the first paragraph and then decide. So, first of all, this is not a rant, and I'm not hating on the series; on the contrary, they're possibly my favourite series of all time, and they'll probably be for a couple more years.

For me, "A:tLA/LoK" aren't just TV-shows which were aired in the same channel as SpongeBob (I like SBSP though, I just don't have time to continue watching it), but for me, they are the standard of what a good animated show should be. Not just in terms of american animations, or the japanese anime, no, an animated show GLOBALLY. From my point of view, "AtL…

Today I have a theory that has been pretty debated in various threads, and I don't see many fans ask this questions themselves. The main question is, "Is airbending going to be inherited as a native bending art? Or airbenders will keep randomly popping out as a mutation from non-bending families, like in X-Men?"

Well, I have a theory, and it's that airbending is inherited the same way non-bending is "inherited".

Considering the fact that, all descendants of Jinora, Ikki, Meelo, Rohan and Kai (Kainora 4ever), will be airbenders by default because as the wiki page of airbending states:

Avatar Extras for "The Northern Air Temple" stated that all Air Nomads are airbenders. This would make the Nomads the only group with every individual being a bende…

Well hello fello wikians.

As you might know, I finished half a month ago the first book of my fanfiction, Book One: Metal. I know it's not being read by many people, but that's not going to stop me from continuing writing it. Even so, "" simply started as a fun writing exercise to help me express myself through writing, and I have developed incredible abilities on how to handle characters.

At least, thats what some people who gave me feedback in real life have told me it's something not many writers get right, and not many writers get to have many likeable characters as I do (they even liked my character Tao, who I tried to make unlikeable on purpose to be honest). Let's face it, even Bryke themselves had some problems with handling characte…

As some of you may know, a few months back Nickelodeon released their own official HD remaster of Avatar: The Last Airbender, which did not have any problems unofficial fan upscales have had, since presumably the original material was used. It was released on iTunes has the full collection on Bluray listed for $49.99. No other information is present, but it is expected more will be revealed soon. While Bluray is not lossless, it's the closest to RAW footage you will get, and thereby this will be the highest quality possible you can view it in.

I'm definitely buying this- are you? Alternatively, anyone willing to buy this guy a copy of Avatar, feel free to slide into my DMs.

Happy Valentine's Day! We're here with your secret valentine submissions and can't wait for you to read them. May all your romantic dreams come true and if not, read the BSST anyway. You know you want to.

Hello, dearest BSST readers!

We didn't take a year to update this time because we just love you too much and want to spend this day with you. We've gotten lots of love on this issue as well! (We know what you're really here for, so we made a huge and obvious column with your valentine submissions.) Indulge yourself in all the Oogie-themed articles. We will not apologize for going overboard with the colorful decorations.

It's a good year to be in love with The Legend of Korra, because the turf wars are li…

Send a secret valentine before it's too late! Your love will be featured in the BSST's February-exclusive issue, and we guarantee it'll be oogie-rific.

You may submit as many valentines as you want up until we publish on February 14th, 2018. You can risk sending some last-minute love letters on the 14th if the issue hasn't released yet, but there's no guarantee that we'll see them in time. Plan ahead and confess your love early! See you all on Valentine's Day

Bomochu here, back again with the second instalment of the review for the Literature of the Duchy of Skibbington. Last time, we looked at five unique and diverse one-shots, so without further ado, let’s have a look at the remaining four shall we?

No Bending in Class

Well, I have to say that the premise for this story is not one I think I've ever seen. This AU has original characters, but instead of taking canon characters and putting them in a new environment this story takes the idea of bending, and brings it into our world.

Plot: 6.1

The story has a promising start, beginning with two classmates, Nick and James (the later the narrator), accidentally setting a hanky on fire and freezing it somehow during class. Later, the two theorise that the…

Did you think we were gone? Well, MERRY CHRISTMAS: We're not! Come indulge yourself in the Avatar Wiki newsletter as you sit and roast chestnuts over a cozy fire this holiday season...

Well, what can I say? We're not dead yet! Surprise!!!

In all seriousness, though, I deeply apologize for the 13-month hiatus. There have been dedicated users year-round who stayed with us and wrote for this issue, so we would like to give them a huge thanks for their time and passion for contributing! We wouldn't have been able to come back without you. Consider this your Christmas gift from our lovely, creative community!

Today we are also welcoming our brand-new Fanon Deputy Editor and are positive that you'll love him as much as we do…

Re: I'm aware that LoK was scheduled for one season at the beginning, and thereby advancing Amon's character wasn't a probability at the time, but at the very least they could have advanced his ideology. He and his movement had infinitely more potential than Ozai.

I could have been more clear, but to reiterate, advancing his character arc was never a probability because they killed him off by season's end. No matter what I thought of his character, it wouldn't have mattered. He's dead. They can't do anything with his arc (maybe barring the Equalist arc). But I always made an exception for Amon because he always had the potential to be a well-rounded and recurrent villain. In any case, it's a peripheral point because they didn't advance his cha…

Hey all Avatar wiki users! It's been quite a long year, hasn't it? But it's finally come to a close. I wanted to thank everybody who helps and contributes to this wiki, including you, yes you !

So in order to do that, I've created user appreciation month! It's a new user event, think kind of like a combination between the cabbaggies and the user awards (if any of you remember those, if not, don't worry!). In it, each user can write in the comments another user that they appreciate, and something that they did to show appreciation!

As the month progresses, I'll update the list to show who thanks who and why. Keep in mind that this is supposed to be showing your appreciation to your fellow users, so while it might be cool to thank Batman for f…

In your opinion, who was the best villain of Avatar Franchise (Both ATLA & LoK)?. Personally I think Azula was the best. She had all qualities of a good villian. Cunning, powerful. At first I thought that after what happened to her in the end of ATLA, it's her end, but later she continues to be a source of headache for Gaang in Smoke & Shadow.

I mean I love all the characters but sometimes each of them can get annoying, like how Katara would get jealous of Aang not hanging out with her, Aang has a crush on her and would always love her no matter what. Sokka can get annoying at times but it's only his personality besides he's really funny, Toph can be a bit grumpy sometimes but who wouldn't since she had to raised by over protective parents and she had to hide who she really was. Anyways I love all the characters and I just needed to say my opinion XDDD

A kickstarter project to fund The Legend of Korra: Pro-Bending arena boardgame has started. Here's a link to the project, which as of now, half an hour after launch, has about $8.5k of its $25k kickstarter goal promised.

The rules of the game are explained on the kickstarter website, but mainly focusses on using strategic cards to place your characters on the pro-bending board in order to secure a victory for your team, with dynamics that change up as you play the game.

The game stars the Future Industries Fire Ferrets against the White Falls Wolfbats in a pro-bending match taking place during Book 1. Play as the Fire Ferrets, Wolfbats, or upcoming surprise characters who will be announced as the kickstarter progresses. The campaign holds no …

So the last trilogy came out. Do you think Nickelodeon will make a series out of those five trilogies? I really hope so, but there's no way, right? Because The Legend of Korra, they will not move backwards?

Since the legend of korra, ive been curious about what happened afterwards. I always thought about having two avatars, both benders of all kinds but one stronger with water and fire, the other stronger with earth and air. Plot wise i thought about showing an unused villain type. tyrant, deceiver, conqueror and revolution maniac have already been used, so i was thinking civil oppressor. Basically, bending has been reserved for the higher class, while the lower classesare forbidden. One avatar trying to change this politcally, the other one rebelliously. This would eventually drive a wedge between them until they eventually come together again. Thats all i got so far.

Would you be fine with it, be confused/mad that it ended randomly, or would you just not care?

As many fans have pointed out there are a lot of story lines to be completed in the comics for example like Azula's arc completion and the beginning of Republic City.

Would Gene Yang / Mike & Bryan really want many of those details just left up to interpretation?

What would your opinions be if the comics are indeed coming to an end?
