. . . that awful, heartwrenching moment when I realize that The Search is going to deal with Ursa's background and her current life and may, in one fell swoop, render the entire later portion of Fire and Ice strictly AU rather than a canon rewrite. F*CK. THE. COMICS. They're ruining almost two years now of work (planning, and now writing!). Uh . . . so, what this means in terms of my progress is that I've had to scrap all of the touching Urzai I wrote in that Ozai-centric one-shot (essentially, I've had to throw out ~5,000 words of written and re-written material). Mostly because I don't actually know how Ozai and Ursa met, and even though I have my own backstory it seems like the comics are going to give us their own twist. :/ And I don't want to render my story AU unless absolutely necessary (per the freaking as-of-yet-unreleased The Search). And, basically, I'm really worried about what will happen if I publish my own version of events and then the canon version is COMPLETELY freaking different. GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
That means this is now rendered unpublished material you guys won't ever see in full. And this is only a tiny fragment of what I worked so long and hard on. Thanks, stupid comics. Thanks a lot. T___T

Wouldn't it be crazy awesome if what you wrote actually is what happened, though? ^ ^

Wouldn't it be crazy awesome if what you wrote actually is what happened, though? ^ ^ ^I doubt I'm that much of a mind reader. And I just . . . ugh. I don't even know what to do. I mean, here's the thing: if Ursa is happily remarried in the comics, I'm just going to be forced to essentially ignore that and say: "Hey, I planned Fire and Ice long before I knew there was actually going to be a backstory for Ursa." But I only want to make that drastic move if there is absolutely no alternative. I don't want to publish my own version of Urzai only to have that simple thing render my story truly, truly AU. I'm just sad because I worked so daang hard on that one-shot! x___x

Aww. Well, I just hope that the Search doesn't undermine what you've written and/or that you can happily come to terms with the idea of your work being an AU. =\

/Sigh. I don't mind so much the AU thing as I wish I could just make up my own version of how Urzai started. Do you think I can just do that? Or should I just wait to see how The Search develops their relationship? IF ONLY IT WERE PUBLISHED ALREADY AND I COULD KNOW FOR SURE!!! Ugggggggggggggh decisions in the midst of uncertainty.

I agree with Kaitlin. Fuck the Search. Sure, it'll be interesting to see the Canon idea of what happened with Ursa, but I've already read the first seven pages, and it's just as stupid as The Promise. The only thing I liked about the Promise was the interaction between Ozai and Zuko. The Search can suck it. If your idea of what happened is better written and more in-character and more interesting, it will be my official head-canon. Just saying... Please, continue without feeling like having it be AU is a bad thing because it really isn't.
If AU's were bad, Zutara wouldn't be a thing.

CONTINUE PLEASE DEAR GOD CONTINUE!!!!!!! ^I'm just so worried . . . I mean, I have my own extensive headcanon backstory for Ozai that may or may not be severely challenged by the new (unpublished, might I remind everyone) comics. I can avoid bringing up Urzai for a while as long as I don't publish any companion pieces, but there's going to be a time when I have to bring it up. If the comics haven't addressed it yet, I will either have to go strictly AU or go on hiatus. I don't know which yet. :/ Edit: Gaaaaaaaaaaah, stop typing so fast! I keep missing new posts. XD I mean, yeah, if Ursa is happily remarried them f*ck the comics, I'm doing my own thing in the future. It's mostly the past I'm worried about. I don't want to change history, just rewrite a new future. And ahahahaha, good point on Zutara AUs. XD

I WANT YOUR BACKSTORY!!! Honey some of the BEST fics are AU! Don't worry about what Bryke does! YOU did this before they ever released that! YOU started it MONTHS ago in publishing and probably ages before that! YOU are better! YOU can do this!!! DO what you want to do!
I'm SLOW. =P Lol. I mean my comp was cranky sooo. =P But I'm here now! DO IT! You are SO doing a great job!! DO IT!!! @_@_@
And Kathryn's right! Zutara itself is TECHNICALLY AU. So there you have it. You're already AU. Fuck the Search. Do it.!!!
