Avatar: The Last Airbender Revised is an AU storyline intended as the author's own interpretation of the original series, and a creative tribute to the original series.

Important factors to make note of are: This series has no intention of being a "rerun" of the original series. It has no intention of recreating the personalities of the original characters, it only shows the author's own interpretation of said characters. Comparison of this series to the original series is not advised. This series is approached as an alternate form of canon by the writer, and should be treated as such. The author has no belief that he could write the series better than the original writers could.

Caution: Avatar:The Last Airbender Revised is officially rated as 13+, due to mature material, thus making it potentially inappropriate for those under the age of 13.

Plot Overview of Book One: Water/Enlightenment Edit

A:TLAR follows the unwilling hero Ain, who has been forced into the role of bringing peace to the world and ending the war that was started by the Fire Nation 100 years ago. Ain is the host of the Avatar, an ancient and powerful spirit that has grown bitter and is forcing Ain to be the hero the world needs. Ain travels with Kyasin, a young Waterbender and chieftess of the Southern Peak tribe, her younger brother Sakodi, a soldier in training, and Sai, a runaway and master Earthbender. Their current intention is to evade capture by Fire Nation soldiers, reach the Ice Citadel in the north so that Ain and Kyasin can train to master Waterbending, and liberate the lands that the Fire Nation has conquered. The allies that they have gathered as of now are: Zotu and Indo, formerly of the FN Royal Family, The Kyoshi Warriors, the Earthbenders of Obos, Bol, the Wulong people and the Freedom Fighters.

Seven chapters have been released so far: The Undesirable Destiny, The Journey Begins, Hell Hath No Fury, Revolution 1, The Mad Genius, The Runaway and The Winter Solstice, with chapter eight being currently in production.

The character articles will suffice as descriptors.

Plot Overview of Book Two: Earth/Atonement Edit

Plot Overview of Book Three: Fire/Revolution Edit

LocationsEdit

The geography of the Revised universe's setting is significantly different than that of the original series. The following locations are only in the Revised universe. There will be a description of each individual location within the world, as well as an explanation of how each location relates to those of the original series.

The Ice Citadel - A large compound where all of the remaining Waterbending masters live, surrounded by an immense wall of thick ice. (In relation to the original: the equivalent of the Northern Water Tribe)

The Avatar Temples - Holy sites that were spread across the Earth Kingdom and multiple islands, in which the Avatar monks resided, before the genocide of their people at the hands of the Fire Nation's military.

There are numerous Earth Kingdom, Fire Nation and Colonial cities to which the characters will refer over the course of the series, which have no parallels in the original series.

Ember and Cinder are the twin capital cities within the Fire Nation, akin to Ba Sing Se.

There are multiple archipelago that are present off the coast of the EK and FN.

The forest that serves as the disputed borderline between the Earth Kingdom and the Fire Colonies is known as the Wulong Forest, as a nod to the setting of Aang and Ozai's final battle in the original series.

Theme SongsEdit

An unique aspect of the series is the use of theme songs for each chapter, as well as the major characters. There will be a separate theme song for each of the sixty Book 1-3 chapters, while there will be a single theme song for the entirety of Book 4. Major characters will have theme song shifts to represent extremely effective character developments.

Reception Edit

Please direct all questions on the series to LB when he's on IRC or A:TLAR Q & A.

"You are really good with word manipulation. I wasn't able to finish it, but the first four paragraphs were phenomenal." - Water Spout, friendliest guy on the internet, unofficially.

"The details were amazing..." "Characters were visualized well.." "Intriguing beginning.." - Millennia2, writer of Alone

"You are a great writer." "When Kyasin kissed a girl, it kinda caught me off guard." "AWESOME." - Evatar114, writer of Choices.

"The A:TLAR series has lots of suspense that keeps me wondering what will happen next. The characters are well-developed, as is the plot, so far." - Keitonashita

God, I don't know where to begin. It would take ages to collect all of TAD's written lines on this series...

"It offers a very unique perspective, and it seems to be more mature. That makes it a great re-imagining." "Shyamaloser should take some advice from you." - Theavatardemotivator, writer of Daughter of Ashes and Air

"I can say that it is very well written, detailed and descriptive as said by Sky..." - The Bos, writer of Avatar:Guardian

"I see you're going for the less sappy and more mature in-your-face theme." - Avatar Roku's Ghost

"This idea is very original and the changes to the characters are very well thought out. Good job!" - Vaznock, writer of Kyoshi Revolts

Thank you for the comments, guys. Wow, I doubt I could write better self-promoting quotes myself. I promise that none are fabricated, and that all of them can be found on the wikia.

Themes and Inspirations Edit

The author intends to fashion his own unique characterizations based off of the original series' characters. Naturally, the original series is a primary inspiration, but the author wishes to make the story his own as much as possible. As The Dragon of The West said, the series is a bold departure from the original. The author intends to craft highly mature and compelling personalities. Other inspirations include issues within the real world, and contemporary literature and film. He is still working on being able to craft intense fight and action sequences to complement the dialogue and prose.

CreditsEdit

To Avatar:The Last Airbender for images that are used to convey the apearances of characters.
To numerous skilled musicians and bands for the recommendations of legally listening to their music during each chapter.

I'm having trouble finding a link to the actual story so I can read it. Could someone post it for me?

Oh, A:TLAR . . . not you, my beauty . . . stay with me . . .

January 17 by Theavatardemotivator

The story isn't dead. All of it is still written out in my mind. .

January 17 by Lovelyb0nes

At first I didn't like all the name changes, but they seem to be working out now.

December 3, 2011 by AvatarRokusGhost

If changing the names works in my intentions for this story's favour, to allow readers to look at my characters and not be comparing them to Bryke's work, then I am definitely going to stick with the name changing.

December 3, 2011 by Lovelyb0nes
history

just to let you know, an "alternate form of canon" is just fancy way of saying fanon. anything based on a work will be compared to it, whether you like it or not. and this cannot even compare to the show.

December 1, 2011 by Ragnell wielder

It is an original story. It is not really fanon, because the fact of the matter is that I can't even try to capture the characterizations that were conceived in the minds of Bryke. I applaud people like Bos that are capable of it, but as far as I'm concerned, a story is not as good as it could be when your characters are not your creation and you are simply trying to replicate the characters of another writer. That's derivative. Original stories are generally not meant to be compared by casual readers, even though Atlar and Atla do fit into the same category of dark fantasy. If I chaanged the bloody title or something, would it satisfy you people? Or maybe you could just *ignore* my story. I certainly wouldn't mind. I have readers that are perfectly willing to read *an original story* on its own terms.
Vulmen, I apologize, I was being disrespectful to the writers on here by saying that it wasn't valid to write stories based on pre-existing characters. I've been reading on what George RR Martin believes about fanfiction, which has made me reconsider what we do on here, occasionally.
And I apologize for blowing up at Ragnell. It's just. .I've been really frustrated with how this story has been turning out, and people comparing ATLAR to the original series has just been adding to those frustrations. ARG, the issue about what you said before, about the names of Katara and Aang, etc. providing a certain impact on readers that love and are familiar with the original series? I never wanted to make that impact. I want my story to be read on its own terms, in spite of my intentions to to honour Bryke by basing the story on ATLA concepts. I simply wasn't thinking when I decided that using all of the names from canon would work. .

December 3, 2011 by Lovelyb0nes
history
-prods LB- I don't think he was telling you to change the name of it or anything. He just wanted to point out your story was still a fanon creation. It's based on the world of Bryke, with ideas they had created/etc, and has relevance to the series. You have made alterations/etc, but the bottom line is it's still fanon. ^^" There is nothing disrespectable about that! :)
And um...a bit of what I wrote I've felt has been original, my one-shots in particular and delving into "in the past" scenes that were left completely unsaid in the series. I don't see what's so "not valid" about the creation I made for the canon characters, being able to add in unshown scenes and yet keep them in-canon with characters at the time so as not to alter their decisions/etc. It can actually be a bit of a challenging thing, and is fun for that reason. :) So; it's very much an 'original story' concept but with canon characters being involved in new scenarios/events.
So; no - don't change your title. -shrug- Ragnell was not suggesting that. He was just commenting to you. ^^"

December 3, 2011 by Vulmen
When it comes to fanon I say to each their own. Whether it takes place in the same universe or has same or different characters, I think they can all be legit ideas.

December 3, 2011 by AvatarRokusGhost
Well, I was saying if you don't want it compared to the show, then the fanon portal of this website is the worst place to post it. And if you can't take criticism, in any form, then you shouldn't post at all. You can read my fanon if you want, you can rip into it if you want, but your opinion isn't going to bother me. If I think it's something that will improve my story (which is more of an original story than your's I might add), then I'll listen to it and change my story a little.

January 27 by Ragnell wielder

Ragnell; if you truly do not care if someone insults your writing and hard effort then that is just you. It is a degrading experience to have your work tore down, there is a difference in constructive criticism and simple hostility.
I'm sorry Ragnell but you're dead wrong. This story has been original. He even renamed the characters to completely unique names to match the originality that the story itself told. He altered the way the Avatar universe worked rather than using it at its simplest. He did not follow the storyline presented to us, but rather created his own and entered his own ideas for story twists.
To be so forthright as to declare his story as unoriginal but he should read yours to get a reality check is nothing but rude on your side. Please show more respect than this in the future. LB has already curbed his original wishes to listen to others and alter his story - something that was a very trying experience to endure. So stop putting yourself above his level as an author.

January 29 by Vulmen
I'm not putting myself above him. I'm just saying that "revising" a story is NOT original. I haven't read it, so I don't know what twists and turns it takes, but the fact that it's a revised version still means he's taking something from someone, which isn't original. Sorry if I sounded like I thought I was better than him, I know I'm not. I'm just pointing out WHY people don't think it's original, and saying what I think about it. By more original, I was meaning that I was adding on to what was made, not rebuilding it in it's entirety. I wasn't saying that mine was original, just that it's more original than this. The Eyes of Katara fanon is more original than this because it doesn't just try to rewrite everything, it adds to what's already there. Maybe you don't agree with me on your interpretation of orginal, but that's your right. Of course there's a difference between constructive criticism and simple hostility, but if your going to write something controversial you had better be ready for open hostility.

January 31 by Ragnell wielder
I mean no disrespect by saying this to you, Ragnell, but you're making a huge mistake by jumping to such conclusions solely based on the title and others' reactions. I didn't really admit this to anyone for quite some time, but I've always regretted that title. There's no way one could not make assumptions with such an off-putting moniker as 'revised.' The only elements that remain from the original series are basic plot and universe elements, and even that's stretching it. Your story is an addition to a universe that Bryke created, which there is nothing wrong with, but I put a massive amount of effort into crafting a unique and new universe, as well as unique characterizations and ideas. I have not rebuilt anything. I've created my own story. Allow me to stress this, *I am not trying to argue about who is more original.* That would be petty and pointless. I'm just emphasizing the effort and creativity that went into my work here. And frankly, I had no expectation that this would be so controversial when I started. Sorry. I'd be glad to discuss my series with you civilly on irc, Ragnell. Let's bring this comment thread to an end, though.

February 1 by Lovelyb0nes
Based on what I've read (which was most of the first chapter), you were just butchering (imo) the series, which is not original. Even the current names are clearly based off of the series.

February 7 by Ragnell wielder
Ragnell; you're comments are not in the least constructive here. I'd suggest you just stop assailing this fanon. If you don't like the idea presented, don't read it. (Which you haven't anyway. So nothing lost)

February 7 by Vulmen
history
Well, I never said it was supposed to be constructive.

February 9 by Ragnell wielder

This was the second fanon I read on this wiki (after The Last Airbender Book 4: Air), and I am confused as to why you chose to go this route with the characters and story. I sincerely want to know why you've chosen to do things this way.

October 6, 2011 by Mageddon725

And I sincerely would like an actual question. I'm sorry, but just generally asking *why* my story has the creative direction that it does is. .well, vague and kind of un-answerable. You haven't spewed vitriol at me, yet, so I'll gladly have an intelligent conversation with you about my story and writing, on IRC or back and forth on here. By "do things this way," I take it you mean essentially filtering ATLA through the dark, cynical realism of George RR Martin's writings. Well. .because I am extremely fond of Martin's writing, I think that he's an excellent writer, and emulation is the sincerest form of flattery?

February 18 by Lovelyb0nes

Uhhh , well I saw a few bad comments =( AND THAT´S WHY , I will read it !! Now more then ever . ;.-) Don´t worry it´s a Fanon so you can do with your characters and the storyline whatever YOU want,and LB .. harsh criticism make a good artist out .Btw good taste in music.. =)

With no explanation needed, it simply makes Azula come out to be weak, and hopeless compared to the other Version. And the whole concubine thing, is just simply rather distasteful, sense her natural personality was attracted to a snooty, loaded, rich-boy, who was over everyone in popularity(who you so say she finds boring). Shes fairly patriotic as well, so is her father, so something like barbaric slaughtering of nobles, I would feel is above the royal family, unless the person did something to wrong them in return.

Um, I'd like to make the notice for Lovely to see: feel free to take your time responding to the below as you see fit. And please do not feel assaulted by the below, apparently everything came quite quickly. While I find myself agreeing some with what is said, I did not read it all, and think it would be better looked at one at a time instead of all at once.
That said, Lovely, I apologize if all the below feels extremely harsh and out of place. If you choose to reply; perhaps one method to ease approaching it would be to do so one day, per one comment thread. That may alleviate the troubles of seeing everything all at once. Sound good?
Good luck with your endeavors of continuing your fanon ~

I apologize too if this was harsh, as I was involved in the mass commenting. I hope you will not take this the wrong way, Lovely, or anyone else who likes this. I think this is very well-written, for the record. I do see that I was harsh. I am sorry.

Music by Hans Zimmer? Umm what? I don't think he'll approve. I know this is your adaption, but let's do a small review on Katara from the chapters I read of your adaption as compared to the actually good moral series.
- Series Katara: Nice, peaceful, lovely, won't dare kill anyone. Did she kill Yan Rha, the old man who raided her village when she was just a child, and murdered her mother. No? As for relationships, I clearly remember her kissing Aang at the final shot, she also had a small crush on Jet, rumors of her liking Haru and Zuko by fans as well. Definitely a straight person.
Your Katara: Mean, bratty, disgusting, would harm everyone in her path. She sliced a man's throat with utter satisfaction? How is that Katara? She wanted to leave Aang for dead? WHAT??? She was the one who wanted to help Aang, and Sokka not. This chieftess or whatever also holds her brother above a cliff? What GOOD moral does this story even have. Also she appears to be a lesbian for she kisses girls, that or she is bisexual? It seems that you just want to slap in homosexual is alright, yet you apply it to a total spaz. Also as you are a very liberal person (in fact it seems you prefer homo over staright imo) it seems you care little about gay, and care a lot about lesbian. This sends out a bad image towards Katara and homosexuality, and I am not a very liberal person. I must say you are a good writer, but the content? .... :P I say change the names, if this isn't the series Katara. Try something else... the story seems different, so advance from that. And word of advice, I say this "Katara" should actually have some good quality that women and even men could apply to.
October 6, 2011 by Buttongoo
history

I'm sorry, LB, but I have to agree with Buttongoo...(Less harshly, but still) Katara isn't even a shadow of what she is in the original series. A name is all they share; nothing more.

October 6, 2011 by Mageddon725

Lovely, I have been holding this in for a while, and it is time for me to come out with it.
Your characterization of Katara is disturbing. Very disturbing, and I don't like it one bit.
This quote --
"it only shows the author's own interpretation of said characters and his creating of a new character with roots in the character from the original series."
Well, your interpreation of Katara, I apologize Lovely -- it is awful. Very awful, and horribly inaccurate. I do not know where you pulled your thoughts from, whether it was the aggression or upsetness Katara showed to the FN at times, but you blew it up and made it 100-fold. Gone totally is the caring, good-natured motherly side of her. You have taken her flaws, Lovely, and made it her whole character. Also, you have stripped her of all her morals...she is totally "kill kill kill", not trustworthy to anyone, just totally brutal in general. I mean, the original Katara didn't even kill Yon Rha. I know this is not to be compared to ATLA but you have opened yourself up to this with the above quote. Thus, I feel like I can compare rightly. I hate to say this, LB, but your interpretation of Katara stinks. You basically made her the total reverse of her original form. If you truly wanted to make her out of original roots, you wouldn't totally destroy her character the way you have.

The following post has been given by MetalArmor to me...WARNING: Very long
"To stand as one's own distinct person (with everything that entails) even when operating in society, and to be friendly to society as one has experienced it (with all that entails as well) even when cut off from it, this is the pinnacle of solely human perfection. Such a constitution comes only by the way of the finger of God." Such is a path that all attempt to aim at; even in their failures, this can be seen in the very way they live their lives.
The following would be, in essence, how Toph views herself - “I am the person who endures until I overcome the obstacles placed in my path.” As a small child, she already would have had some small automatic connection to the earth as all Earthbenders do, which, when added to the increased tactile/auditory sensitivityblin people often develop to make up for their lack of sight, played an unconscious role in her life through their non-correspondence to her parent’s view of her. Unable to coordinate this non-match-up, an unknown stimulus (most likely, realizing that her Master was never going to really train her, since his training of her was supposed to have begun around this time) focused the problem and placed pressure on her to run away from home at age 6, where she met Badgermoles who helped her develop her innate abilities into the form of a extremely well-developed Seismic Sense (which provided the basis upon which all her further skills would develop). After th is, she returned home to her overbearing parents and to (mostly) live underneath their authority, staying with them with full knowledge of her actual capabilities despite them being unable to see it in hopes of proving the obvious to them.
Her attachment to her element, her basing of her entire identity upon it accomplishes two things. Firstly, it make her center the entire way she interacts with the world, regardless of seeming relevance, on the solidity of her perception of herself as the Earthbender (a person defining themselves solely in terms of their bending of the element), with little regard for how other perceive her so long as she is certain of this herself. Secondly, her utter reliance on her element to gain not just her physical but also her personal bearings makes it impossible for her to view herself entirely apart from a social context, because her Seismic Sense gives her unusual insight into the emotions of other people, thus (usually) restricting her from viewing them impersonally, as mere obstacles, as she otherwise might when it was of practical benefit to her. Her emotional reserve is the offspring of these two contrasting tendencies: her own self-regard is not too important for her to expose her own feelings too openly to an oft-unfeeling world, nor can she repress her own emotions very well without cutting herself off to an inhumane degree from the rest of the emotional society of which she has direct experience.
As for the area of romance, I will name no names, but it should be quite clear that her emotional reserve comes into play here as well. Since romantic relationships are those which make particularly strong demands on the individual as to his/her devotion of some part of his/herself to another person, in her case this means that she is necessarily quite reserved in both the way she thinks of and also operates in such an area.
As for her leaving her leaving her parents before she gains social ties to other individuals, this is unthinkable; her parents being her only existing social tie, it would require an inhuman effort of self-repression and asceticism toward her emotions for her to break off from them under such circumstances, with no reason being great enough for this to happen. Also, R-Toph’s therefore required asceticism hardly lines up with her otherwise almost totally unprincipled attitude, making such an alteration unnecessarily ad hoc, a deus ex machina (if you will) created solely for the purpose of an already existing character alteration held at arm’s length from the narrative, and the needed “rescuing” of such a possibility from its original context.
One may say that if her parents cared for her less than in the original, this was would not seem as unlikely. However, this state of affairs simply couldn’t be so; if it had been she would never have cared enough about their opinions of her enough to have a problem wit ignoring it, and would never have left to learn Earthbending in the first place.
Back to the subject of romance, the necessarily enduring importance of her stay with her parents ensured that she looks upon such a relationship in terms of theirs; when combined with her (necessarily given) romantic self-reserve, this means that it is utterly impossible for her to first look upon others as solely objects of lust. It is far, far more likely that she would only think of others seriously in a romantic way if they first showed concern for her in a way which reflected an understanding of how she personally defined her own identity and still cared for her despite that. Anything else is to suggest that she would excel at emotional self-repression, an ad hoc removal of her connection to her own Earthbending powers, which utterly fails to make any sense. If R-Toph is to make any sense, the changes to the storyline cannot be mere ad hoc excuses for a more amoral alteration of her character; instead, the changes to her character ought to come out of the changes to the narrative framework in which she lives her life.

It is obvious that you do not understand Azula's character at all and you even contradict your own statement saying something along the lines of "It has no intention of recreating the personalities of the original characters, .....and his creating of a new character with roots in the character from the original series."

There is a huge flaw in this statement, because if you really caredabout "roots in the character from the ORIGINAL series" then you would have treated Azula as such. The following are the main flaws in your approach to your "interpretation"...

The fact that she is so sadistic and so cruel in your fanon does not reflect her inner struggles and hidden personality. For while she is by no means innocent, and I do not try to justify her sins, her violence is over exaggerrated here. Violence never makes a show or a piece of literature more mature, it is simply an aspect that can be added to any work.

Also, I believe you made Azula homosexual just for the very sake of her being homosexual. Even in the main series, despite the huge amounts of screen time Azula and Ty lee had together, never once was it implied that they had any interest in one another. In fact, during "The Beach", Ty Lee's advice giving to Azula about getting the boys makes it quite clear that Ty lee has no interest in "dating" Azula. And Azula was very curious towards Chan, and flirted with him and went so far as to kiss him. Just like Chronicles of Ian, the characters here are made homosexual just for the sake of it, and any claims of this "making" your fanons more "mature" is a silly notion indeed.

It can be argued that due to her antagonistic position in the show, that "you can make her antagonistic in your fanon due to her "roots" of being antagonistic in the show" However, this is a false statement indeed. You can make her antagonistic but NOT if it goes against character in which some aspects of her character speaks against the actions and thoughts that A:TLAR suggest about Azula. Don't get things twisted they're not the same thing. By staying true to roots of one's character, then you cannot ignore said character.

(The following is from your Azula page) "He forced his daughter to choose which one she would burn to death, and attempted to pressure her into killing Ty Lee by explaining that commoner lives weren't worth as much as nobles, and that the male could provide the royal family with an heir, which Ty Lee could not. It was in this moment that Azula's latent sadism that Ozai had planted within her became apparent, as with an expression of sheer delight, Azula viciously burnt the male noble boy to death. From this experience Azula and Ty Lee only grew closer, and so began the sense of resentment that Azula would develop against her father."

That whole paragraph basically states that Azula has deep resentments and a deep grudge against her father, while the complete opposite is true. No explanation needed here, you can see the show again to understand that Ozai is an idol and almost a god for Azula. Azula in your fanon is a disgrace, and not true to the roots of the original series.

"It has no intention of recreating the personalities of the original characters, .....and his creating of a new character with roots in the character from the original series."
It’s a re-imagining of the series. It’s a perfectly legitimate concept. Many works, such as Marvel/DC comic book universes and Planet of the Apes have had total-revamp adaptations made of them. I don’t find it disrespectful to the original work in and of itself. It’s like an abstract piece of artwork – some aspects are maintained, some are not and some are exaggerated. The result is something that relates to the original work but can be treated as a stand-alone. ATLAR-Azula is on a different plane of being than ATLA-Azula – as she’s a different character – and that’s fine. Same goes for any other character in ATLA vs. ATLAR.
That being said, it is understandable that the inner deep traits of the character are the ones being changed here while the immediate outer traits remain closer. This gives the re-interpretation a close perception of the original series but manages to retain its own identity.

Everything you said was just plain silly. Your right about the adaptations and stuff. But with Azula here, sure, she wasn't the good guy or anything, but to change her background, and what makes her HER, changes what she is on the outside. And making her lustful and greedy and muderous is not a very good moral decision. Being all politically correct here is for the weak. When morals are being violated, they must be pointed out. Simple as THAT.

She's different on the inside and some on the outside, too. But the premise for the character is the same. I agree she isn't like the Azula we all know - but she's not supposed to be, so that's fine for fanon.
EDIT: I'm not being politically correct about anything - I was talking about the frame in which this fanon presents itself.

Where do you watch/read this?

This a a fanon writter by the user LovelybOnes, it is not something you could actually see on tv :-) But you can read it here by clicking on one of the chapter links.

Just click on [show], which is in the corner of the red chapters template. All six chapters will be listed.

Wow. I NEED to read this. Tommorrow I will start. Oh, and I love Hans Zimmer, so I'm sure I'll love this. ;)

What can I say? I picked the true master of music and score. He has done television work before, you know. He was involved in the production of music for Blood+ . I hope you enjoy my work.

Yep, he is the best.:D

Where did all this come from?

June 29, 2011 by AvatarMonarchist

From his imagination. It's just a story he came up with

You see AM, there's this concept called fanfiction. . . It has been around for a long time.

July 4, 2011 by Lovelyb0nes

This is idea is very original and the changes to the characters are very well thought out. Good job! :)

With absolute sincerity, considering that you're one of the most notable writers on the wiki, thank you Vaznock. It's an honor, really.

Hey, TAD, did you know who first made that quote you have in the picture at the top of the page? It's Friedrich Nietzsche!

June 15, 2011 by Toph's Fanboy

Well, it's a paraphrase, but yes, the tagline is based off of my favorite quote from Nietzsche. I originally mentioned that below the quote, but eventually felt that anyone that cared would already know, so I removed the explanation.

Oi, I apologize. I was cut off earlier than I expected last night and woke up later than I had planned. Today has significant diversions, but tonight I will have nothing to plan ahead for and I can work all night until it's done, alright?

June 9, 2011 by Lovelyb0nes
No worries, no worries Arthur. I completely have faith. Don't . . . worry . . . about . . . me . . .
[hides under a carpet]
I woke up at 1am today, but the Internet was down. Cha, oh well.
And I was going to release a chapter of DAA today in celebration!

June 9, 2011 by Theavatardemotivator
I know that the withdrawal must be tough, dear, and I feel terrible for that. I hope that our consistent conversation makes you feel better until I get the chapter up. We can both release chapters on Friday, together. Could you wait until this afternoon? I'll have to turn over the laptop to my mother so that she can use it to make a photobook, which will take all morning, and then I'll be out until 2:30-ish PM with a friend.

Nah, it's okay. I was going to release it yesterday, then today, etc., and I'd rather just go ahead and do it rather than procrastinate. Would you like me to release it now, or would you rather have me wait? Cha, okay, no worries. And yes, the conversation will indeed make me feel better.

Thanks, but I think it can be downsized and fit inside an infobox, right? It still looks great, of course. I'll set up the infobox, but you know that I can't handle images too well. . . Excellent, but it should be inside the infobox, too.

Yes, of course. Give me two seconds, please . . .

Thanks for adding my comments. I laughed at your little foreword. Soooo . . . how's the writing coming?

May 10, 2011 by Theavatardemotivator

I was just being honest. God knows how many occasions of you talking about this series (recorded, not on IRC) have occurred. I'll hopefully get some major work done on either chapter before the weekend. Sighs...
