    Okay, the search engine to find the avatar gif's thread is crap, so....

    Can anyone make a gif for me of avatar roku bending the four elements like he does in the beginning sequence of every episode? Not modified with anything, but just what it would be.

    If you can't find the GIF thread, just use the Free Signatures thread.

    already being used.
    No he wanted the bending sequence in the opening credits.

    I know they are hard to find, look in photobucket

    I think this has already been covered/debated about, but what do you guys think the schedule for the new episodes in July will be? I'm hoping they just get it over with in a week-long epic event from the 14th and finishing with the finale on the Sat. the 19.

    Also, is there any news on Brazil's episodes? have they seen B.R, because if they have then that means we could possibly see 316 first.

    what i meant is that when i type something into the search bar (the one to search forums) a pop up comes up saying that i need to enter a search term.

    In any series, a story written by a fan of a show, based on the show. In some cases, these people think they can tell the story better than the people who created the show.

    Why don't you upload it on Fanfiction.net? Some stories there touch 400k words. That's almost 5 times the size of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix!

    Yes, aren't you the witty one, saying something every other person on this board has said a million times before in some form are fashion with your subtle coughing and your clever insertion of your "enemy's" agenda. How cute.

    I can't imagine reading a fan fic of avatar. Not only will it err on the side of cheesy romances that don't make sense on either side of the spectrum, but the movements of bending would be hard to write out in any fluid and eloquent. It would read more like a martial arts handbook that a novel or well written story.

    Pretty much every fanfic in existance is about shipping, so there's no need to be worried about description of bending.

    Its name was changed to keep it hidden from the ever-vigilant eyes of the mods.

    I suspected as much. Hence why I never read fan fiction. Why can't they make their own plots?! WHHHHY! Heaven forbid we be creative! No, let's ship and ship and ship...if you do that, then you are henceforth known as a Sailor! Welcome the newest member of the sailor scouts, Sailor SHIPPER. Huzzah! Cheesy romance for all!

    But I digress. Instead of writing about shipping, one could better their writing skills by making real plots such as future events with *new benders* far in the *future* with perhaps another *war*...or even just a side story where Sokka falls down another hole and must be rescued from a giant llamabat.

    @ hkulka2974 - I was not referring to you. I was referring to the person above me but I deceded not to quote him because I can post ninja fast. No worries.
