LoK Fics You'd Like To See Written

[chromeknickers]

What the title says. Anything in particular you'd like to read in this series? (Any pairing or non-pairing.)

Also, since the series is fairly new, feel free to discuss what plots you don't like seeing in LoK fanfics thus far.

I want to see a somewhat Mulan-inspired Makorra fic. I think Korra could easily play the genderbender card (girl is buff).

I was thinking about writing something like this, but I have so much on my plate right now. I'd rather read someone else's take on it. ;P

I'd read that. Someone get on it!

I also want to read anything that doesn't have Mako acting like an abusive d-bag. My God how I hate those fics. How do these people even figure Mako is abusive?

Listen, I understand that some people don't like him. I've written numerous posts on this subject, defending him, understanding others' complaints - the whole 'let's agree to disagree' and all that rot. But do not - do NOT tear down a character or make him completely OOC in order to discredit a conflicting love interest. Not cool, and NOT good writing. The best fanon still keeps everyone in character while convincing the readership of the plausibility of the fanon ship WITHOUT turning characters from the opposing (and often canon) ship into a bunch of uncharacteristic d-bags. It's worse than killing off characters or pretending those conflicting love interests don't even exist.

Exactly. I was actually going to write a fic (still may) that was sort of a response to Abuse Cycle, to show how Mako could possibly be abusive, the accidentally emotionally abusive kind, but even then it took extraordinary circumstances to bring it about. Mako is just too much of a Mama Bear. And like a Mama, the only way I could see him being 'abusive' is by temporarily taking away his love or not talking to Korra, like some mums do. You know, when they're trying to punish you. Lol. But it'd all be temporary.

Oh, and you know I share your opinions on HP. I just cannot make Harry a jerk or abusive (although I think I made people believe he was a jerk in Anywhere Else But Here, until Draco realised he just overheard him wrong). But, yeah, it makes no sense to me. I just always make Harry obsessed with being the hero, doing the right thing, and not knowing how to be in a relationship. The guy obviously would have intimacy issues in the beginning (but we still love him). But enough about HP. ;P

I'd really like to read a well-written Mako fic (even just a one-shot) that explores his character properly.
