So, someone asked an excellent question that I need to figure out an answer to.

How *would* the Ember Island Players treat Zura in the Sun Child universe version of "The Boy in the Iceberg"? Is it possible to interpret/misinterpret her character and situation in a humorous way? Would she be written as an easy girl, as young and foolish, or possibly in a sympathetic light? (I'm not sure Pu On Tim can handle that level of character complexity, but it would be interesting to see that mixed in.)

It's easy to make fun of teenaged boy shenanigans. Harder to do so with a teenaged mom and have it come out funny. I'm a bit stumped.

( It was always going to end this way... )

……

Rereading SunChild to try and get some inspiration to fill in the next chapter and get the ball rolling again, and in the midst of that, am kind of poking at a soundtrack for it. I've got several songs in place, but wanted to ask if anyone else has anything that Sun Child makes them think of/represents something to them/they put on repeat while reading.

Songs I've got so far, in a mildly disorganized fashion-

( Read more... )

Kind of a preponderance of Jetzura songs here, but that's the part that kept getting song-bits flitting through my head.

Okay, ladies and gents, on a slightly inebrient whim (and if that isn't a word, it is now), here it is- a mini-meme for the Sun-Child AU, of late stalled out in Ba Sing Se and oft with requests for more of the Gaang. Gimme a person, pair, whatever, and a prompt. Soft limit of three, no guarantees.

Usual warnings and apologies apply- I may be slow and unreliable, especially right now with the thing with the teeth.

EDIT-!- Hey, all, just wanted to clarify (as I should have at first, but was a bit, well, out of it at the time)- you can ask for small moments as well as big, AUs of AU, what-ifs, future, past, weird little character/relationship moments, and all that there fun stuff. In fact, I encourage it. Most of the major events of Season 3 and late Season 2, such as WAT, Crossroads of Destiny, Sozin's Comet, etc I do have plans for- it's those set-up moments and in-between spots I'm looking to fill in, so that I can get the big ones to flow freely.

The AU: Sun Child, in which Princess Zura was pregnant when she was banished from the Fire Nation. Now she roams the world with a child in tow, seeking the Avatar as the key to redemption- for her, and her daughter...

The Prompt/Summary: Ooh yeah, life goes on- long after the thrill of living is gone... at least from Zura's point of view. Meanwhile, life is about to get very interesting for those who can't leave well enough alone...

(I'm back- I decided to start posting bits again, I just hope you'll bear with me as they're mostly bits and pieces more in keeping with the earlier meme-responses, without entirely gelling into full chapters)

The Fic-

( The weeks go by, and Ba Sing Se swallows them up like an ocean. )

Little Soldier Girl by ~weirdlet on deviantART

Okay, so I'm a little too subtle when it comes to differentiating genderflipped versions of characters- but I like it^^

Of a sort, at least. Am breaking off for a bit from trying to get stuff actually written and am just scribbling the fun bits, rather than the lead-up that makes it work. Ta da.

Firelight Fountain JetZura- (just a scrap, but I hope to expand it later)

Also! Lookit this nifty icon Attackfish made for the Sun Child AU!

I always forget to change my icons about, but the fact that it exists is awesome.
