*glances around shiftily*

I am considering doing what I said I would do a long time ago and make a covert attempt to bring back the fan clubs. Yes, the ACC may well be about to make a comeback

However, I am not going to rush into this. I will start cautiously, attempting another fan-club possibly with an alter-ego profile of mine. If there is no immediate locking, I may well choose to proceed.

I'm going to try and talk to Highlord - with luck he can be persuaded to see this as a genuine thread, not a game, and will modify the rules to simply try and control the clubs, rather than banning them outright.

If anyone should report his to the mods, they will discover just why the ACC has a military arm

The middle of September is rapidly shaping up to be among the most exciting weeks of my life, at least as far as epic stories that I have followed for some time being continued in some fashion go. In the course of a single week, all of the following will be released:

- The Avatar MMO (BTW - isabelwhatx - prepare to get pwned)

- The Season 3 box set of Avatar DVDs

- Brisingr - the third and final book in the Inheritance Trilogy

- Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (another game - I read the novelization of it and it appears to be good) No matter how much hold Avatar has gained over me, I will never completely throw off my addiction to the GFFA

Over the last few weeks I have taken every opportunity to make money that I can find. I have done inumberable jobs, taken up baby-sitting - whatever it takes to lay my hands on some cash. I believe I have enough for the lot now

Life is good

Also notable news around this time - I think that by the end of September I should have made some solid progress into my Azula fanfic project. More about that later.

Welcome to the Azula Crushers Club, the home of the people who have recoognized Azula for what she is: one of the greatest, perhaps even the greatest fictional character ever to terrorize the good guys and live to tell the tale. Unlike it's predecessor, this club is going to be a very private affair - membership is by invitation only. Fortunatly, invitation will be not be hard to obtain - anyone seen to actively praise, defend, or in any way place in a positive light, glorify, or admit intense feelings for Azula will recieve an invitation. People who have not recieved an invitation but wish to join can pm me or one of the members of the Royal Family, or The Great Fire Sage, and will be instructed on the requirements, or, if they are deemed worthy, invited. Every member of the old club on the Avatar Forum retains membership.

I will be posting a link to this blog in my sig, and other members are encouraged (but not required) to do the same.

Having this club on my blog may prove to be temporary: I am still working on getting another one started on the forum. Until that happens however, we will be open and running here.

Because all we can use here is the comments, what we can do is much more limited than if it had been on a thread in the forum, which is why I still advocate working to re-open one there. As I said, it is my hope that this will only be temporary.

Until then, you know the drill: if it depicts Azula in a positive light, or offers genuine and insightful analysis of her character, it is welcome here. With luck, it will not be here much longer, but back on the forum, where it belongs.

Unless someone can find a better one, this AMV, created by the brilliant ravenfilange24 will serve as the equivalent of our anthem:

May Azula be with you, for Darth Vader was wrong. The power of The Force is insignifigant next to the epicness of Azula
