Name: Ayala. No, really! That's my Hebrew name! :D

Location: Earth. Maybe.

Age: Eleventy-billion.

A little about myself: I'm a geek, a music addict, an Avatard, a daydreamer, an artist, and a Marine Biologist. I've been writing fiction for almost ten years, although I didn't start writing fanfiction until August '09, and drawing for even longer than that.

This is probably the only copy/paste thing you'll ever see in my profile: COPY AND PASTE THIS AT THE TOP OF YOUR PROFILE IF YOU WILL CONTINUE WRITING AVATAR FANFICTIONS, DRAWING AVATAR FAN ART, AND JUST BEING AN AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER FANATIC EVEN AFTER IT ENDS. Although I didn't have much of a choice in this matter, since I didn't even start watching the series until it had already ended! Oh well. I'm still gonna do my part to keep the fandom alive!

LOLOL adding stuff because I'm bored: I am a diehard Avatar: The Last Airbender fan. I ship the canon ships (and a metric assload of crack-ships as fanon), basically the only thing I don't like is Zuko/Katara. I prefer them as friends. Some of my favorite crack-ships include Kuei/Jun, Hakoda/Ursa, Jin/Teo, Toph/Teo, Ty Lee/Haru, Zuko/Jet (which is practically canon anyway!), Jin/Jet, Zhao/Long Feng, the list goes on and on.

Also I thought the series finale was perfect as-is, wouldn't change a thing. It'd honestly take less time to list the characters I don't like than the ones I do, since I like almost all of them. My least favorite characters are Jet and Yue, but they're still not too bad I guess. I fangirl Earth King Kuei like it's my job, hence why I'm writing a fanfic about him.

I'm a massive TRON addict. I'm mainly a fan of the original 1982 film, but Legacy is pretty awesome, too. But I have to say it: Sorry, Sam Flynn, you will never be as cool as your dad. I ship Kevin Flynn/Ram as my OTP, but I like most of the pairings that the TRON fandom has to offer. The only one I can't stand is Flynncest. Gross, man.

I am also a huge fan of the movie The Thief and the Cobbler (the Recobbled version). It's a wonderful animated movie! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E62ibzd8WX4

I don't know if it counts as a webcomic, but Rufftoon's ATLA fancomic, the Water Tribe AU, is sheer genius. The art is professional-quality (literally! Rufftoon did storyboard art for the series) and the writing is fantastic. I know it's been around for a while, so most fans have probably seen it, but I'm going to link to it anyway for anyone who hasn't seen it yet. Here it is, go bask in its glory:
