First time ever joining something like this...

Hello everyone!!

I only started watching Avatar this past summer (late I know, I'm sorry) and I dove headfirst into the fandom. I didn't really have any opinions on ships until I started looking through ATLA blogs on tumblr and then someone recommended Tempest in a Teapcup and well I was just done. I literally devoured every Zutara fanfiction I could after that...not even kidding. The amount of time I spend reading fanfiction is disgusting (thankfully, I have a light class load this semester that permits me to procrastinate A LOT)

I really want to contribute and be a part of this fandom but I didn't really know how to "jump in" to anything on tumblr or meet people to discuss it with. I've always been a kind of backseat observer and probably will stay that way BUT I'M TRYING TO BRANCH OUT!

I recently tried to get into drawing fanart so I may post a little here since hopefully y'all are less judgmental than other people are. I'm so self conscious haha

A little about me: I'm 21 and go to Florida State University. I'm a total computer nerd and die hard shipper. My favorite books are Pride and Prejudice (I have a crazy P&P Zutara fanfiction mapped out in my head that I may or may not write) and 100 Years of Solitude.

Ok enough rambling..for now

I hope to meet some cool people in here!

Welcome, marmalade! I'm relatively new to AtLA too (I started watching it last summer). ^_^

Welcome!
And I also got into ATLA this year, so you're not completely alone in this XD

Art, you say? Bring it! We all love art.

Also, I hope you post your art some time. I'd like to see it! ^^

Hey! Nice to meet you! Its also my first time really getting into a forum situation other than being on tumblr and such. And I also just got into Avatar this year, and it has consumed every ounce of my soul in the worst possible ways! So good to know there are others on the dark side as well!
