[edit] Re:Chapter 23

Actually, I'm going to try to release 23 and 24 tomorrow. Kai - Talk 20:10, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Chapter 15

Vaz, just to be clear I am still guest writing this chapter in book 2 for you and Kai, right?--Avatar ^Talk 20:44, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Yup. Vaznock - Talk 20:54, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Around when is it supposed to come out?--Avatar ^Talk 20:56, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

That depends. Probably late September or early October. Vaznock - Talk 20:59, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Chronicles

I was wondering,Vaz, what do you think about the Chronicles? Do you think it has gotten better or do you have any suggestions? Thanks!--Avatar ^Talk 21:10, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Re:Chapter 23

Actually, it is going to be a two-part special... ;) Kai - Talk 08:32, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Help me

Vaznock I need you to help me. I dont know about wikia. Youve been here for a while can you be my mentor in this wiki?--Swordfire 18:19, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Re:Re Help me

Can you tell me how to be an admin?--Swordfire 21:01, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Vaz seems to be inactive but I will tell you. First of all you will never be able to become an admin overnight, not here. This wiki has rules and organization, which is awesome. The best way to become a fanonadmin or regular admin is to be a good user.--Avatar ^Talk 21:57, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Thank you.--Swordfire 22:05, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

No, problem. ;) --Avatar ^Talk 22:08, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Chapter 5

Hey, hope you don't mind, I put "Samson and Delilah," the chapter I'm guest writing, on the chapters list. Just figured since three and four were there and all... The Flash ^{talk} 15:07, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Cool then! :) The Flash ^{talk} 15:18, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Signature

I can't help but notice the coding for your sig when I edit something after your posts. You currently have <font color="blue"> before the link to your name and of course a closing <font/>. As you probably know that does diddly squat to make it actually blue, lol. Here, try this in stead: [[User:Vaznock|<font color="blue">Vaznock</font>]] - [[User talk:Vaznock|<font color="blue">Talk</font>]] That should do the trick. Cheers, The Flash ^{talk} 22:21, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit] IRC

Hey, Vaz. You suddenly disconnected on IRC. What happened?--Avatar ^Talk 22:54, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

My dog ended up messing up the wires connecting to my computer, so I had to reconnect them. Sorry. Vaznock - Talk 23:07, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Woah! Blue. Anyway, will you be coming back on?--Avatar ^Talk 23:10, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Unfortunately, I don't think I have the time. Sorry, maybe tomorrow? Vaznock - Talk 23:12, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Sure, no problem.--Avatar ^Talk 23:13, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Hey, see you got the color thing fixed, lol. Yeah, sorry, I was afk when you gave me the message and didn't see it until you left. Sorry :( The Flash ^{talk} 00:00, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Now? :) --Avatar ^Talk 15:06, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

I'll be on in ten-fifteen minutes, I just need to do something. Just wait for me on ###Vaznock. ;) Vaznock - Talk 15:15, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Okay.--Avatar ^Talk 15:17, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Done. Vaznock - Talk 15:25, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

I'll be on too, if you don't mind :) The Flash ^{talk} 15:26, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Just to let you know, it's ##Vaznock (two hashes, not three, which has no function). Vaznock, you will of course want yourself to be its founder first. --Energybender 02:23, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit] News

I don't hate Suki anymore and I'm know a Sukka fan and a Teoph fan(Toph and Teo)--KataraTophAzula 17:11, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Well, that's nice. Vaznock - Talk 17:15, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Never mind I hate Suki and I'm a Tokka fan--KataraTophAzula 20:45, September 22, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Your IRC Channel

The next time you're on IRC, pop in to #freenode and ask a staffer to drop ##Vaznock for you. That way, you can take back ownership of it. It is currently unregistered, having been unused in more than 60 days, so a staffer would be happy to drop it for you. --Energybender 02:20, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

Okay, thanks. Vaznock - Talk 03:06, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

Check out these discussions: Discussion about making a semi-independent section of the BSST entirely for fanon Discussion about changing the size of our images Discussion about redirecting the community portal talk page to the improvements forum Discussion about proposing a featured user for Avatar Wiki Notable discussion results: A new article grading system for Avatar Wiki will be implemented Notable user blocks: 21:46, 20 August 2009 Omnibender (Talk | contribs | block) changed block settings for Lightning Shenron (Talk | contribs) with an expiry time of infinite (account creation disabled, e-mail blocked, cannot edit own talk page) ‎ (Intimidating behavior/harassment) User rights changes: None This Summer by Vaznock As the summer begins to come to an abrupt conclusion, we can only hope that the summer of 2010 will bring us as much fortune and success as this one has. As we look back to all the changes and great ideas that have helped our wiki grow and prosper, we can now only swim in the aftermath of these changes. From April to June, our wiki was put in to major refinement. Because of what happened during those months, we now have a newsletter, a new and better administrative policy, a wiki that allows fanon, and a path that gave way to some immense summer fun and more changes, which includes: An Avatar Wiki-wide contest was held by Joeyaa, in which users would win recognition on the Main Page every week for submitting outstanding pieces of fan-art, Avatar videos, and more! A fanon special was created by the fanon users of the site, in which the fanon creations of multiple authors was combined and put into a 5-6 part storyline. A new administrator and a new bureaucrat were chosen. Thailog, the first administrator who was chosen democratically, is known for being the creator of our wiki's outstanding skin and a user with very plentiful contributions. Joeyaa, the bureaucrat who was chosen, is known for his fantastic organization of our wiki through a bot, called JoeyaaBot. Avatar Wiki's articles have now been given an elaborate grading system: A-class, B-class, C-class, and Stub-class. The articles will be voted on by the members of the Standards Council. However, our adventures on Avatar Wiki are far from over. In fact, they've just begun, as this Summer marks the beginning of the new Avatar Wiki! For example, it has been said that our wiki is lacking in forums and news. If these aspects are covered, we will become the ultimate Avatar site! So come down and participate this Autumn! Dao Le, animatic director of Avatar, thinks Aang Ain't White! by SuperFlash101 That's right folks, Dao Le, who was an animatic director for Avatar: The Last Airbender and therefore a member of the crew, has officially announced he supports Racebending and finds the casting for Airbender to be racist. The official Racebending.com released this statement given to them by Dao Le himself: It’s been a huge disappointment to hear about the casting for Avatar’s live-action movie. The show was heavily influenced by Asian culture, some of the characters were even modeled after Asian members of the crew. But now, with the pre-dominantly white cast, it feels like all the Asian/Eastern influences, origins, what have you, were just a backdrop for these characters. But I always believed they were Asian, or even mixed Asian. And that belief added a little extra pride in working on such a great show. The appreciation Mike & Bryan had for Asian culture, the interest it generated in the fans, gave ME greater appreciation for my own culture. So it’s just hard to believe they couldn’t find one Asian actor to hold any of the lead protagonist parts. Not one? This film is going to feel like some other Avatar story. BuddyTV reports that Le finds it "hard to believe they couldn't find one Asian actor to hold any of the lead protagonist parts." While doing animatics on the series, Le reportedly "believed" the characters were Asian, or Asian-mixed, and confirms that the series itself is Asian influenced, like many others have stated before - "With the pre-dominantly white cast, it feels like all the Asian/Eastern influences, origins, what have you, were just a backdrop for these characters." Not only this, but several other staff members have stated that they're flabergasted and support Racebending. Like I reported back in June, Sifu Kisu mentioned that legally he's unable to state his opinion, but was able to say that he wants to "say something so bad" and that "some of [the fans] are SO right & [they] don't even know." So only time will tell if even the crew of the show will boycott the movie, or, dare I say, even the co-creators themselves. Make up a new feature! We're currently open to new ideas for making a new feature for Avatar Wiki's official newsletter! If you're interested, please submit your ideas on Avatar Wiki talk:The Ba Sing Se Times or email the editors!

• Welcome to the world of Russian spam. If can do me a huge favor, could you link me (on my talk page) whenever that happens on any wiki you see? Thanks so much. Joey ^aa 03:26, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

Sure, so, I take it this happens quite a bit on Wikia? Vaznock - Talk 10:56, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

You could say that. Joey ^aa 08:11, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit] IRC Channel

Hey, Vaz just to let you know I registered on freenode. BTW,I also got ##The_avatar channel. Thanks!--Avatar ^Talk 22:07, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

Great! Sorry, I'd ask to chat with you, but I'm on a tight schedule, meaning I'm probably not gonna be able to go on IRC as often as I do. Vaznock - Talk 23:09, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

No problem.--Avatar ^Talk 23:18, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Reviewing

Hey, Vaznock, if you don't mind, would you mind reviewing Sokka's Training? It just came out and I'm looking for some feedback. Thanks in advance --The Bos 15:47, September 4, 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the review and urgency. : D --The Bos 15:50, September 4, 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the compliment, the montage part was meant as a joke on how during the making of Sokka's original sword there was no dialoge at all. After I finish working on the next chapter I'll be sure to write a full description. --The Bos 17:01, September 4, 2009 (UTC)

Just saying thanks agian, It's flattering to be compared to the original series. If you don't mind, I just put up a new chapter and am looking for some feedback. --The Bos 21:40, September 11, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] I'm Back

Hey Vaz, I'm back! And I'm sorry for all the confusion and inconvienence that I've caused. And I'm sorry that I couldnt continue with the project. So right now since all of the project's plans are laided out already, I think it would be better Ive I stayed out this time. Im sorry. And I'm defiantly going to try to imporve the quanity and quality of my contributoons on the wiki for both canon and fanon. Ive got some relly cool fanon stories coming out and it would really be an honor if you (one of the best fanon writers on the wiki) could comment on my fanon! :) Thanks and SORRY!--Firelord Hangh ^{Talk to Me!} 20:15, September 4, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Re:Inactivity

Hey, Vaz, you got it - unfortunately, becoming inactive was literally a blink-of-the-eye thing for me so I had no time to put it up. Still inactive, but have access to check things. Cheers, The Flash ^{talk} 17:32, September 5, 2009 (UTC)

Personal reasons - unknown return time, sorry. The Flash ^{talk} 18:19, September 5, 2009 (UTC)

I'm back! Sorry for the previous short response, I needed to get off extremely quick and didn't get to come up with any reasonable response :P Anyways, Chapter 5 is almost done, but you're gonna have to give me a while to catch up on everything before I can get it out. Cheers! The Flash ^{talk} 22:40, September 16, 2009 (UTC)

Thanks! It's great to be back! The Flash ^{talk} 22:48, September 16, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Delays

Hey, Vaz. I just wanted to say that I am reallly sorry Inner Flame is taking so long. Sadly, the chapter is not amazingly long, so that is not the reason. The reason is that I have had lots of homework and test recently at school. Hopefully, I wil have it done this weekend. Sorry.--Avatar ^Talk 02:12, September 6, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Fanon Magazine

Do you have any idea when we are gonna start that?--Avatar ^Talk 17:47, September 6, 2009 (UTC)

Next week or...--Avatar ^Talk 19:58, September 12, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Azula Actress Rumor

I heard this on several sites that Dekota Fanning will play her I don't know if it's true so what do you think about it--KataraTophAzula 00:30, September 12, 2009 (UTC)

I doubt it. I'd think the directors would be smart enough to pick an actress that at least kind of looks like Dev Petel. Vaznock - Talk 01:05, September 12, 2009 (UTC)

If they did looks then the scariest thing about the real Azula will be her acting and if they find a actress that looks like him then she'll be UGLY Dev Patel is good looking I guss for a guy but as a girl be ugly and it did not say that Azula and Zuko where twins if they were then they would be the same age--KataraTophAzula 01:44, September 12, 2009 (UTC)

I mean a girl of his race. When did I ever say identical? But I'm going to stop arguing anyway, I can already feel this leading to a large argument about race like it did on those other forums. Vaznock - Talk 02:02, September 12, 2009 (UTC)

I thought identical was inplied--KataraTophAzula 02:09, September 12, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] RE:Wanted Guest Writing

If you want you can do either the second or third chapters. Oh did you read the newest chapter of Last Energybender?--Twilitlink 01:25, September 12, 2009 (UTC)

Okay. You can pick whatever one I write. Btw, you don't have to, but if you reveal your Email address to Wikia (don't worry, they won't spam you) you can give me a hallow plot to follow for the chapter. Revealing my Email did help loads when I first became a co-editor for KR. Vaznock - Talk 02:02, September 12, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Yes!

Okay, Inner flame finally got out. Mostly just a laid back chapter. --Avatar ^Talk 02:14, September 12, 2009 (UTC)

I also finished Jeong's character page, about time I did. Are you going to make the Ravena character page? --Avatar ^Talk 19:22, September 12, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Re:Clash of Worlds, Part 5

Probably this weekend, I've been procrasinating for a while so I should start on it now. Zukofan - ^Talk 16:13, September 12, 2009 (UTC)

Great. I can't wait to read it! Vaznock - Talk 17:05, September 12, 2009 (UTC)

For Now I'll do a portion of it, and maybe later you can help me out. Zukofan - ^Talk 17:28, September 12, 2009 (UTC)

Just to let you know, part 5 will be released probably this weekend. Zukofan - ^Talk 15:03, September 20, 2009 (UTC)

I'm working on the chapter right now, if you like you can help me out. Zukofan - ^Talk 21:31, September 28, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] IRC

Hey, Vaz. Would you be able to come on to IRC? Thanks!--Avatar ^Talk 21:52, September 12, 2009 (UTC)

Yup. Seeya there! Vaznock - Talk 22:09, September 12, 2009 (UTC)

Sorry it took me so long to get on. Are you there now?--Avatar ^Talk 22:28, September 12, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Luvingazula

Sockpuppetry other accounts harass tords others sound like a friend of yours that had lots of acounts and was nuts but is now sane and was given several chances mmmmmm?--KataraTophAzula 01:26, September 13, 2009 (UTC)

I'm not friends with crazy, racist people like him. In the scheme of life, I don't really know if I'd call fellow wiki users friends. And he didn't suddenly become sane. Just months ago he returned and vandalized a bunch of pages. And he was trying to pretend to be you and put the blame on you. Vaznock - Talk 01:32, September 13, 2009 (UTC)

First of all when I said a friend I ment me second I am willing to forgive him so the person incharge of the blocks should unblock him--KataraTophAzula 01:36, September 13, 2009 (UTC)

Uh...no. Luvingazula is actually pretty sneaky, and much more sly user than you were. Plus, he already has an account that is going to be unblocked in just a month or so. Unblocking him as Luvingazula would just be plain stupid. Vaznock - Talk 01:39, September 13, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] E-mail

Hey, Vaz, why don't you check your e-mail? ;) --Avatar ^Talk 01:28, September 13, 2009 (UTC)

Okay, btw, that edit conflict was funny. Ypu must of been, like, wtf! :P Vaznock - Talk 01:32, September 13, 2009 (UTC)

I didn't even know I had an edit conflict. I must have been sleep typing. When will I stop doing that? :p--Avatar ^Talk 02:31, September 13, 2009 (UTC)

Full-length trailer to be released by The 888th Avatar It's been a period of time since we have heard from the producers of The Last Airbender, but in the past week reports have circulated that they are working on a full-length trailer to be released for Christmas. Frank Marshall said on Twitter: For those of you wondering about LAST AIRBENDER, all is well in post and we r working on a trailer for Xmas… This is a significant gap between the teaser and the full-length, and there has been some criticism that the gap will make it likely for some to "forget" about the film.

sorry, airbender.--Twilitlink 22:09, September 16, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Film Set

Take a look at this it's a picture I found of Nicola Peltz on film set--KataraTophAzula 23:57, September 16, 2009 (UTC)

Interesting. By the way, in the future, you can just send me a link to where you found the picture. Vaznock - Talk 00:19, September 17, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Interview

Sorry for taking so long to respond, but when can you go on IRC to do the interview? Tell me when and I'll PM you - go on a new channel or something. Cheers, The Flash ^{talk} 17:54, September 18, 2009 (UTC)

I'm on - sorry it took so long... The Flash ^{talk} 23:17, September 18, 2009 (UTC)

Sorry to do this, but I'll be on in an hour. Is that okay with you? The Flash ^{talk} 00:05, September 19, 2009 (UTC)

Alright, for realsies this time, let's start it. :P The Flash ^{talk} 01:01, September 19, 2009 (UTC)

Um, hey - can you come on? The Flash ^{talk} 20:37, September 19, 2009 (UTC)

Obviously, this is hours later..but I am on now.--Avatar ^Talk 23:33, September 19, 2009 (UTC)

Believe it or not, I'm having *gasp* writer's block on Samson and Delilah. I've also come down with something but am getting better, so I'm gonna try to finish and publish it as soon as I can. So, when can you come on. The interview should be rather brief, no? The Flash ^{talk} 16:12, September 20, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Excuse me

Not trying to be rude or impatient or anything like that, but can you please write your chapter as soon as you can. If I sound like i'm impatient or something I apologize but I have some ideas for chapter four, but I'm gonna need chapter three for any lasting ones.--Twilitlink 00:41, September 24, 2009 (UTC)

Don't worry about it. How about instead of just canceling your chapter we just trade. So I'll do chapter 3 and you do chapter 4. Agreed?--Twilitlink 17:20, September 27, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Fanon help page?

Hey Vaz. Do you think there should be a fanon help page? It could be a "Project" (with the prefix Avatar Wiki). If a new user wants to start a fanon, then I think there should be a page that gives tips. Something like:

To get a good fanon started, organization is key. You can do this by...

That way any new user interested, but confused, about Avatar Wiki Fanon can go there and get help how to start a Fanon. Also, maybe Fanon could be in the welcome message on talk pages for new users. What do you think?--Avatar ^Talk 01:03, September 24, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Good News

I became friends with Miley Cyrus on Youtube and it is the real Miley Cyrus--KataraTophAzula 22:44, September 24, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Interview again?

Hey - as you lost the rest of the interview, maybe we should just do it again? Are you able to today? Cheers, The Flash ^{talk} 17:35, September 27, 2009 (UTC)

Hello? Vaz, do you know when you can get on and jumpstart the interview again? The Flash ^{talk} 16:12, October 3, 2009 (UTC)

Cool. The Flash ^{talk} 19:31, October 3, 2009 (UTC)

Looks like we never caught each other. Can we try again today? The Flash ^{talk} 16:22, October 4, 2009 (UTC)

One website suggests the upcoming Sherlock Holmes film, starring Robert Downy, Jr. (Iron Man, Tropic Thunder) Another mentions Peter Jackson’s The Lovely Bones - one fan even wrote that it would be "deliciously ironic" if it were to be attached to Avatar, for which Airbender was forced to be renamed by. Fans stay on the edge of their seat for the trailer, and, most importantly, the film itself, to be released. New fanon by The avatar Hey guys, a section of our new fanon are the “newest fanon”. Our goal here is to let the fanon community hear about some new fanon, and their authors. This issue’s “newest fanon” is Avatar: Guardian. The fanon is written by The Bos, a new user at AW. So, in an effort to get some details of his new fanon, I interviewed him on IRC to give you guys some inside details. Guardian is all about Team Avatar against factions of the 3 nations who want to continue the war. The Air Nomads are back due to Aang’s energybending, Toph is helping rebuild Omashu, Sokka went back to Piandao to get a new sword, and Zuko married Mai. Of course, several new characters are coming including Mitros, Jiang Rha, and Cheng. Bos was inspired to write fanon when he and his friends started talking and knew the war would not end peacefully. The name came from the necessity to "Guard" the world peace they fought to get and the plot was from some history, video games and other stories that introduced family of main characters. Several of those were the Knights Templar, which will be more helpful in the future, and he based the entirety of Mitros off of Kratos from God of War. Bos has enjoyed the community at AW, and reads some other fanon including Kyoshi Revolts, Wanted, and the The Phoenix Chronicles to name a few. Bos plans on writing a full 61 chapters for his series; and has some ideas for a future series as well. He also hopes to release the chapters on a weekly basis, mostly on Fridays. Also, Bos has given us a special sneak preview of the next chapter: "Okay, what are we going to do about all the crazy people trying to destroy the world?" Aang and Katara sit up; Zuko and Sokka stop their petty argument and begin brainstorming. Aang tosses the first idea out, "Maybe we should go in the Avatar cycle: defeat the Water benders first, then the Dai Li, and then finish by finding the Fire benders." Katara looks at him, understanding what he is saying, but wondering why he chose the order "Why that order, Aang?" So good luck with the fanon The Bos, I can already tell it’s going to be great! Training and romance drive latest 'Kyoshi' chapter by SuperFlash101 As most Fanon users know, the latest chapter of Kyoshi Revolts came out a couple of weeks ago. The chapter, tentatively entitled "Rebel Lessons, Part 2," continue where the previous chapter left off - Chen is training with Ray, while Giu tags along for the soul purpose of getting to touch Ray's but. But now we get to see Mina and Kaila getting a training lesson of there own, which made this chapter even better. We're so early into book two, but it's easy to say this is turning out to be as good as - or even better than - the first. "Rebel Lessons" was the perfect example of a good Kyoshi Revolts chapter: mixing comedy with action and drama, it reminded me of an actual Avatar episode. It was cool to see Kaila going all Naruto with her new kunai knives, which I'd guess will appear more in the series. Chen's Waterbending prowess is clearly mediocre, but like his predecessor, I'm sure he'll be better by the middle part of the book. Plus, he even bloodbended, which is always an awesome thing to see being included in any Avatar fanfic. Not to mention, he almost asked Kaila out - their relationship is shaping up to be one of the best parts of the whole story, so I can't wait to see what happens next. So if you haven't read "Rebel Lessons" or any chapter of Kyoshi Revolts, I recommend you do so pronto. The story is one of best Avatar fics out there and always delivers, especially with this new chap. Overall: A+

As you may have noticed, December has arrived, so you may be wondering what happened to the promised trailer. Unfortunately for many fans, the production team has since released news that the trailer will not arrive until next February. Marshall posted this on Twitter: Not enough ILM shots finished, so LAST AIRBENDER trailer will not debut until Feb… While this is a little disappointing for many of us, it has been proved time and again that the delayed release of something truly spectacular is always better than the on-time release of something half-baked. Let's hope that the wait is worth it. For now then, we'll have to satisfy ourselves with the original trailer released on June 22, 2009, which is shown to the right for your enjoyment. Comments to be posted here. 'Kyoshi' serves up another helping of romance and humor by SuperFlash101 The latest chapter of Kyoshi Revolts, entitled "Just Friends," lives up to the series' usual brilliance in romance and humor. In this chapter, Giu and Ray, to huge surprise, begin dating after Giu saves a little girl from dying. The writing for the emotion of that scene, interestingly, was marvelous, as the portrayal of the characters' reaction to Giu's supposed death was top-notch. I enjoyed seeing their relationship, however short-lived, but think it could have been expanded; while what was seen was great, it just seems like it went by too quickly. That could always be the intention though. Meanwhile, we get to see some hilarious outbursts and ramblings from Kama. This whole chapter is constructed, really, on Kama shouting "You bastard!" Not that there's anything wrong with that. Kama was an excellent character to introduce to the series and helps lighten things up for readers who know that the destruction of the Spirit World might soon be realized. Speaking of which, we get to see a brief stint of Mitsuki, Quan Lee, and Tam Mee. It appears that they killed three rebels, but the scene was left as a cliffhanger of sorts. Still, I don't know if it was me, but they seemed to represent was Team Rebel would be like if they failed...well, dead. Overall, this was another great chapter of Kyoshi. A. Blood, Sand, and Religion, Always a Good Combination by Twilitlink Anyone who’s read the Better World chapter, Spare the Innocent, probably noticed a rather liberal use of blood, sand, and religion with an added bonus of innocence and dealing with guilt. The chapter begins as any good piece about the guilty conscious does with a lovely scene in a cemetery. From there it goes from the Earth Kingdom Palace to the Si Wong desert. Along the way more assassins attack Aang, though these ones seem to be religious nut jobs, and Lee witnesses some brutal interrogation provided by Slythrin. There’s a lot more worth mentioning in this chapter, but I won’t spoil anything for you. “Spare the Innocent” opens the door for a number of possibilities within Better World. It hints at several conspiracies against Aang and his friends. If you look beyond Slythrin’s, Rorschach inspired, torture scene you find a man who’s been hurt by something and has learned to give it back. Lee can be seen as a clean canvas and could be painted any color, but is currently being given a layer of red, the question is will he embrace Slythrin’s words, “May thou be sanctioned by the law and the people but sanctioned for redemption”, or reject them. All in all it is almost impossible to guess where the story will go from here. If you’ve yet to read “Spare the Innocent” or any of Better World, what are you doing here, I ask you, put it in gear and start reading. Overall: A

[edit] Happy Holidays!

Time flys by fast indeed - 2009 has gone by like a blur for many of us. As we near the end of the year, and we celebrate the holidays around the world in the snow or the surf, we thought it would be about time you heard from us - about what we've done this year, and what's coming, and how you can help.

What can I do to help?

Plenty! While the canon articles are fairly informative, there is so much you can do to help us prepare for the release of the film in July.

• Write a blog post. That is one of the biggest ways you can help us. We want to hear what you think about the film or anything related. It doesn't have to agree with what we say - in fact we'd love to hear a different opinion! Or if the film doesn't interest you - write reviews of episodes, advertise fanon or fan fiction that you've written.
• Jump into the forums and discuss the series and films with other Avatar fans! Ask your questions about the series, and answer others'! You can discuss anything about Avatar - your favourite characters, comparisons between characters and characters from other series, and much more!
• We want to hear your concerns. What aren't we doing right? What do you want to see on Avatar Wiki? Do you have any brilliant new ideas you would like to see the light of day? Tell us.

Once again, enjoy the holidays, and have a Happy New Year! If you're new and you feel like giving something to the wiki, start now! If you're a veteran, we appreciate your work over the past year and we hope you stick around for one of the wiki's biggest years.
