Ask the Author: For want of a nail

Ganked from askerian by way of suzukiblu by way of attackfish


Inspired by Doctor Who's "Turn Left:" Pick one of my stories and tell me a point in the tale that you'd change. Something tiny (e.g. "and then Gendo decided to play Eye of the Tiger instead of 99 Red Balloons") or big (e.g. "and then the Blue Spirit decided to try escaping from Mai rather than reveal he was Zuko") and I'll tell you how that one difference would have altered the course of the entire story.

Siege of the South- Hama didn't successfully punch Aang out of the Avatar State, and was blown away. Wooooooosh. Oops.

What if Gendo did decide to play Eye of the Tiger instead of 99 Red Balloons.

How would Taking Sights plot have change, if you suddenly became a peggy sue and were writing it now, knowing what you know.

How would Full Metal Bitch have changed if Toph managed to take Lu Ten hostage?

How about if after the siege was over, Toph had used her popularity among the solders to launch a coup, becoming the queen bitch of Ba Sing Se? (Hey, I just realize Kuei's 25, I think that makes him like, the only name Avatar character around FMB Toph's age)

How would it have change if after the war Toph... broke. She comes home, not the boisterous, angry, active woman. But one who just endured to much, a silent ghost, with little interest in the world and a meek but unenthusiastic agreement to her parents wishes?

Asuka's Competitor - what if it was Asuka that was gay for Misato instead of Shinji for Kaij
