Thank you! And meme!

[avocado_love]

Thank you all for your cool birthday wishes. I had a great day, and I'll probably post about it later. In the meantime I'm going to do that meme that's been floating around (Stolen from jakia ). So hit me with your best shot! *Attempts not to break into song*


So hit me.

Top 5 fandom-related anything. And I DO mean anything.

Examples: Top 5 fan fictions, Top 5 things I wish were different in fandom/fan fiction/whatever. Top 5 hottest guys in fandom. Top 5... Star Trek episodes. I dunno, I'm running out of ideas, but you get the drift. Harry Potter readin' Kakashi commands you to ask. :D

Once again you have proven the ability to think about things much deeper than I ever could. ;D

While these are all great points, and very valid. You could also flip them and say they are more challenges than limitations. Of course Aang would be horrified as 12 old assassins. Of course Kakashi could probably kick Aang's ass, even when he's in the Avatar state (okay, maybe not...). But that's the point! Let's smash them together and find out what happens. Let's set them on a mutual quest for an object. What an adventure it could be!

Then again, this is fan fiction and you're right that most people skim over the details or don't bother with them all together. All these things have to be taken with the right consideration, and they have to be done by the right hand. Most don't bother. I still await for the gem that actually does, though.

Part of that I agree, the incompatible ideologies should be a challenge, not a problem. However I'm less convinced of the viability of the power levels. Now I've occasionally seen good fusions with very different power levels, but it usually only works when I want to see one side get smashed. I want the USS enterprise to come into the universe of serenity and smash the revers. I want a powerful empire to show the cylons up. I want alucard to show Edward Cullen what a real vampire is like. I really don't think I'd fine Kakashi killing Aang nearly as enriching. (not to mention given Naruto's higher death count, half the Avatar cast would die in the first encounter, which I don't think makes for a good story)

Now you could have the Avatar crew adapt, and learn, but even that has it's problems. If Avatar has to learn from the ninja's then the ninja's have already won the ideological debate, as they've proven their philosophy is stronger. And everything else aside, both shows have a "right makes might" ideal.

Like I said, the easiest way to handle that is probably to subtly bump up Avatar's powerlevel. Cause otherwise the fic going to come off as "Naruto's so much better than Avatar" as each of the Avatar cast is massacred by the Naruto cast.
