Avatar at New York Comic Con!
We still can't talk specifics about what will be happening and who will be there and other OFFICIAL information of that sort. (Though trust me. AWESOME.) However, I've been told that I can reveal one aspect of the Avatar-related content at NYCC:

I'm helping to organize an Avatar-related event at the con, the focus of which will be the fandom itself. We'll show AMVs, profile fancomics, share our favorite fanart, have a cosplay contest, maybe read some fanfic -- generally, just showcase some of the really fantastic stuff that fans have come up with! It'll be a lot of fun, BUT!

WE NEED YOUR HELP.

I'm only one lady, after all, and there's only so much of fandom that I've seen. So what I really need are recommendations! The more the merrier, seriously. I can't guarantee how much we'll end up using, but any and all suggestions would be appreciated! The only thing I'll say is that this it shouldn't be more than PG-13 (though I suppose some selective editing could be done in some cases to make things kid-safe) and that we're tending more toward badassery and funny than drama and romance.

AMV and other fan vid recs would be especially awesome, since they can be much more difficult to sort through!

BONUS REQUEST:

We really really really REALLY want some Rock Benders at this panel. As in, a band who will get up on stage and play Avatar-inspired music. WE WANT IT SO BAD WE CAN TASTE IT. Even if you aren't local but have some musical talent and the means to record it, MP3s and music videos would be fantastic. Because hey: if Harry Potter fandom could do it, SO CAN WE.

(Feel free to pimp this post out elsewhere, if you are so inclined!)

Can you show amvs without any of those copyright legalities getting in the way? Not just from Viacom for the show but for the music used in them. Just wondering. I've made over 60 Avatar amvs, but I don't want to get sued over them.

Okay, you seriously need to show these two:

Elemental Masters
Aang Wants An Evil Monkey

ANYTHING OF RAWLES'S.

BUT YOU KNEW THAT.

Anything of your own might be pretty good, too. I especially like that drawing of yours with Mai and Toph talking in the background and Sokka and Zuko going 'we're doomed' in the foreground.

Since everyone's recommending AMV's, I'll go to the other areas of fandom (ones I hang out in more often anyway)

Fanart:
-Windwaker Avatar and Who Knows What We May Become by Isaia
-Rufftoon (of course!) Almost anything in her gallery. No really. Especially the Season 2 Finale comics. (Look Uncle, KITTENS!" :D)
-Friendship by koalakitty23
-Toph by northernbanshee
-Why the Earth Shakes by lychi
And, if I may, my own .Water. Earth. Fire. Air.

For fanfic, I recommend [info]artemisrae (Shadows in the Mind, The Adventures of Meathead and the Blind Bandit) and [info]sophiap's drabbles. Also Fortune Favors the Bold by [info]may_flyer and Stationary Plumes of Molten Material by [info]hobviously (which might be the best Toph character study I have ever seen.) I have a million others if you need 'em, but those are at the top of the list.

Well, Technically they're part of the Avatar staff, but Rufftoon's got some really funny works on their DeviantArt page (especially in the scraps):

http://rufftoon.deviantart.com/

And... well, if you're looking for fanart, I've got this piece I've done if you're interested. :)

http://tigershinigami.deviantart.com/art/Prince-Zuko-66183982

Also, as an added bonus... if you'd like a fanfic that's a bit... out of the ordinary... check out "The New Firebender":

Remember to show us Zutara fans some love, too! ;D

Here's my (not shippy!) AMV fave:



Are the Abridged Series Avatar fanvids Nick-friendly enough to show? Because those would be a huge hit.

Sounds awesome. :) PREPARE FOR A LONG COMMENT:


I once made a weird humoroustype of AMV but I doubt it's funny anymore: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2LU48pDd7c

If you liked it, can send you the file with quality that doesn't fail.

Also, ha ha if you know what Youtube poop humor is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9mgjpn4k7w

I am also making a Avatar FLASH ANIMATION! WOOT. :D (icon is a sample of it)

Avatar, "Savages" from Pocahontas:

Hey when is this con anyway? Sucks that I live in Florida... It is expensive to travel by plane, yes?

And also her super-awesome Avatar dressups, if you can show interactive stuff.

Hmm... I not too sure this could be counted as under PG-13, but it's one of my favorite crack AMVs, (If Zuko Was Gay), that somehow managed to survive on the internets after the Great February Youtube Purge. Oshikuru's Chan's Lord of the Elements is also very good and doesn't have the slashy subtext that If Zuko Was Gay has.

Well, im not sure if this is fair promoting my own work... But if youd like you could use my comic "Avatar Campfire Stories". Its a 12 page comic retelling the story of The Little Red Riding Hood. Just a suggestion is all ^^

Heres the first page with links to the others http://tom-turbo.deviantart.com/art/Avatar-Camp-Fire-Story-pg-1-66707998

May I suggest a game?

Take some scenes from Avatarspirit.net and print them out and classify them by how many characters are needed per scene.

Like: Two character scene

Zuko: Please, father, I only had the fire nation's best interest at heart! I'm sorry I spoke out of turn!
Fire Lord Ozai: You will fight for your honor.
Zuko (stricken, abasing himself on the floor): I meant you no disrespect. I am your loyal son.
Fire Lord Ozai: Rise and fight, Prince Zuko!
Zuko: I won't fight you.
Fire Lord Ozai: You will learn respect, and suffering will be your teacher.


But the characters also pick out of a hat a theme:

AMV's

I have a few AMV's though this is probably my best, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPm7VeNmoLo

My best friend is one of the best artists I know and she's gonna draw a picture for you (Azula, Ty lee Mai), though she's gonna hand color it (which she's really good at) because she doesn't have photoshop, is that okay?

Also if you do like my video I can send you the actual video file.

Thanks
