C-L's Reflections
A werehawk says, Vathara has made her usual every third week Embers update. This chapter has a new perspective on a scene we last saw in chapter 37, for those who want to go back and compare. I'd gush more, but I haven't the energy.
Anyway, it looks like we've seen the last of the Piandao episode cognate. Checks Avatar wiki for when we next see the Gaang in canon... Ouch. I suppose we can hope Combustion Man will be a good guy, showing up and using his firebending in a seemingly threatening manner to warn them when they are too close to being attacked by other Fire Nation forces. But this is Embers and it is by Vathara.
Anyway, around last Embers update, I did up a spreadsheet and found out that Embers makes up .29 of what she's published of on FFN. This is also the longest story she has published so far, so some rockiness may be expected on both parts. Partly inspired by this, I ended up rereading her most of her backlist, and rediscovering how very odd some of it is. (I enjoy her older stories, and wish to see continuations.)
Thoughts:
1. Embers is not screwed up enough to properly end as a Vathara story. Even with something from last chapter that I still want to stick in ROFL, it still seems a little on the mundane and close to canon side.
2. Embers is cognate to the books of Earth and Fire. We have cognates through .59 of canon's material.
3. My reread reminds me that Vathara started out writing Gargoyles fic, which means that all the mentions of Xanatos she has been tossing out in AN are
fully informed as to the implications.
Anyway, thanks to the same sudden time and energy constraints that shut down my reread at about a half dozen stories to go, (neglecting rereading Ellen Brand's stories which Vathara crosses over with, or reading the 'Deep Water' stories which I have just recently tracked down), I was unable to post about the Vathara update in a timely manner, and I anticipate future such issues.
I still have found enough energy for an obnoxious wall of text, even if it isn't properly gushing.
