I recently bought the ATLA blu-ray set and binged the whole show in a week. The finale still gets me every time :’) I always wished there was a Ghibli-style hug reunion tho
Kataang Week is when we, as a corner of the fandom, celebrate the ship Kataang! The prompts for Kataang Week 2018 were selected through six rounds of voting over the last several weeks and all prompts were submitted by Tumblr users.
To celebrate the 10th anniversary of Kataang being endgame, the mods decided to hold a 10-day celebration instead of the usual 7 days.
Cool, when is it?
Summer Kataang Week 2018 starts on Monday, July 30th – a little over seven weeks from today – and ends on Wednesday, August 8th. We’ll also be holding an anniversary celebration on July 19!
How do I participate?
The most common ways to participate are by creating art or writing a fic and posting it online. Some people try and create something for every day while others only fill one or two prompts.
Since we have more prompts and an anniversary day coming up this year, we want to reassure you that it’s perfectly okay not to do every prompt! We just hope to have lovely pieces to share on each day, especially on the anniversary.
But I can’t draw or write!
That’s totally fine – there are more ways to participate! You can sing a song, create a graphic, write a poem – just about anything really. You can also show your support by reblogging and liking other people’s contributions.
What are the prompts?
The following will be the running order for Kataang Week 2018:
July 19 – Free Day/Anniversary
Mythology – Monday July 30th
Ballroom – Tuesday July 31st
Family – Wednesday August 1st
Affection – Thursday August 2nd
Councilwoman Katara – Friday August 3rd
Intertwined – Saturday August 4th
Quirks – Sunday August 5th
Desire – Monday August 6th
Midnight – Tuesday August 7th
Sacred – Wednesday August 8th
How should I tag my work?
The easiest way for us to find your work so we can reblog it to this blog is by using the tag “kataang week”. Using “kataang” and “kataangtag” also help. You must tag one of the three in your first five tags otherwise it doesn’t appear in the search.
Once we’ve reblogged it to this blog we add our own tags (a prompt tag and a user tag) for easy organization. This means we can find all the work for one prompt or all the work from one user in one easy click (this also means that if you have changed your username since participating last year you need to let us know so we can update your tag!).
Can I post my stuff other places online too?
Of course you can!
Seven weeks is a long time away… why are you promoting all this so early?
To give people time to create quality content. In the past (and in other fandoms) we have seen ship weeks pop up out of no where with little to no notice and we just don’t think this works. We don’t know about you guys, but we need time to prepare! We also like to post WIP for Kataang Week and encourage everyone else to do so as well – we reblog it here for motivation!
As always, if you have any questions, comments, or concerns, don’t hesitate to send an ask. Don’t forget to reblog this as well to help spread the word!
Good luck, Kataangers, and happy content creating! 🙂
A fun reminder that Aang was a terrifyingly powerful Avatar.
Most Avatars are informed of their newfound destinies at the age of 16 to begin their training. Because of the approaching war Aang was told of his status at the age of 12. He had already mastered airbending, and in the span of a year he mastered the other three elements, the avatar state, and energybending. He also learned lightning redirection and seismic sense (a technique no previous Avatar had even encountered). In the span of a year.
During the New York Anime Festival back in 2007, Johane Matte, who drew some of the ATLA comics from The Lost Adventures, presented a few fake storyboards to the audience at an Avatar panel as a fun joke! Luckily, Johane posted them online so we can all see them now!
