Awwww, bunny!! <3
@ BA, I tried not to get into it. I hated the first season after watching three episodes so I stopped. But then I caught the second season and it was great. I mainly watched it for Forwood and that's all I watch it for now. It's turned into sh*t. But, like a soap, it keeps you hooked and, in my case, boils the blood. >_<
In other news, I'm worried people will hate the flashbacks and flashforwards I use in The Descent. They're important to the story, but I can understand how people can get annoyed by them. :/

I actually quite enjoy flashbacks... I know that's not usually the case for most but to know about people's past and how they were shaped into the way they are now... it intrigues me.

Well, these are flashbacks from the show - events you have seen before. In the story I use them as trials and as a way to have Katara understand Zuko. In this last chapter, though, Katara must go through a trial, but she sees more than her past. I still feel like it's a bit of a cop-out on my part. Lol.

Well I'll be interested to read this "cop-out." I think you're selling yourself short.
As a writer I shouldn't be saying this, but I am really getting sick of writing essays. I have had 5 in the past 4 days. I don't know how much longer I can take, "How do you value yourself as a person?" "What do you think of this class?" "Why do you consider yourself different?" I thought I already wrote this stuff when I applied for a university.

@ Kim, Oh I know you'll be honest. I just probably won't want to change anything because I'm so lazy. Hehe! I could send you a snippet from chapter 3. I kinda don't want to give away chapter 5.

I hate UCSC. As soon as I find a better school to switch to I'm leaving. It's expensive, the Professors are terrible, and every one seems to march to the beat of their own drum. No kindness or humility whatsoever.

Poor Iroh. At least I still love him. *hugs tea-loving general* Who doesn't love that kooky, wise man?

Iroh's the bomb dot com. Dunno why anyone would be upset about getting an extra helping of him.
And UCSC you say? Well, hi there, neighbor. Bet it's not as rainy down there as it is in Oregon.

Lol. Yeah, that happens. I'm sure my reviews went down for the two chapters in FC that were about Aang and the gaang and Mai and the civil war.

Kim, I'm going to send you the first 6 pages of chapter three, so you can get a feel for my purpose of using the flashbacks as well as read a few of the flashbacks.
