And maybe I fail as a reader or something, but... I would really like to know where/when/how the gang caught up with Aang, and ditto that for Shidan and Mai and Azula. I think she needs to show her work a little more. This week's chapter felt really, weirdly abrupt.
I've given up on the author notes, though. I've come to the conclusion that Vathara's politics and mine are not compatible at all, so. Better for my blood pressure and enjoyment of the story to just... separate the story from the rest. Yeah.
I didn't mind the gang-catching-up thing so much, because Katara probably just made an ice-surfboard and skated them all after him, but the Shidan/Mai/Azula thing? Yeah, that was . . . I think she deleted a scene by accident or something? Because it obviously happened while Azula was unconscious, but there are plenty of other characters whose viewpoints we could have been using. Like, say, Shidan! Or Mai! Or Min! Or Shirong! Or Ty Lee! Or any of the other characters who were present or might have seen them leaving.
I wish I could just *not read* the author's notes, but I have this thing where I can't stop reading a webpage until I've read everything on it, or am still reading it while I click away. Not good for my health, that.
