    there are some fanfics that have toph writing in them(i.e. "Toph's Diary"), but since toph is blind, how can she write? i mean, its not she can feel letters in the ground and write them.

    its a fanfiction and its fiction so i guess you could write things that cant happen, i dont really know maybe this answers your question.

    Fan FICTION!!!!!!!

    Toph being able to write is the only error you found?? Some have Toph being able to see. Other's have switched Zuko and Azula's roles. Still others have completely screwed with the story and flipped it over onto its head. And then AU's??

    LIVE WITH IT!!!!!!! You're upset about FAN FICTION on an already FICTIONAL show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    fanfictions are for the fans to express their imagination and to chang the story to how they want it. My fanfic has a new character that hangs out with Zuko, and she ccan bend fire and air. SO let the creators of the stories let their imaginations go.

    i agree! my fanfiction has 2 new people. yes, you read right, 2. everyone likes mine, so read it if you like, but don't flame because of something that did not happen in the show.

    I made one that (in my mind) is so close to what might've happened that it (would) looks like the creators wrote it. But I ended it so...

    I'm not into fanfictions, read them sometimes but don't write them... however; a blind person with a diary is not inconceivable.?? Possibly a blind person in the Avatar world we have experienced so far might not be able to write, but in today's world many blind people are able to write down their thoughts using a Brailler Writer - there are some as low as $10 and as portable as an iPod.

    As said before, it is fan fiction. Just like Cloud and Sephiroth pairings.

    Some people have SERIOUS issues when it comes to fanfics....I saw one that was Zuko/Iroh. And to anyone with dirty, eww-y thoughts: That WAS what it was about! **Gags**
    And then in Ben 10 there are the Gwen/Ben's....I'm gonna need thrapy...Well, more than usual.

    I read one that has a red haired shadow-bender. OC's outnumber the REAL characters!
    Still, originallity and goodness are 2 different things.

    I read one where an oc could snap his fingers and everyone would die, it was original, and it sucked.(Not all of them are like that though!)

    I didn't say they did. Where did I say that in that post? Nowhere. I said that there are lots of OC's, and that there's a difference between the quality of a story and how closly it fits with the show. I don't see how any of that could be translated into "OC's and their writers suck".
