Original Reviews and Answered Inquiry to Your Questions
Theses where the original reviews to my fanfics; I was initially saddened that when I decided I would erase my original fanfics to put them all onto one until I thought "why don't I put them on a separate chapter? Plus I could answer all your questions on it as well.".
Sometimes people will ask me questions both silly and serious or have a nitpick about my fanfics which is often very helpful for correcting mistakes or the individual just had a different interpretation about something on the show than I did that was mentioned in one of my fanfics. I have responded to people's questions and comments in the past in either the review section or the fanfics themselves but I couldn't respond to every single one publicly so I decided to respond to all the ones I wanted to respond to here. You can ask new questions and I might respond to them here in an update.
Silly answers to silly questions:
MoonlitLightning 2007-12-21 I've been having a few problems, can you help?
1) My AZULA unit melted my metal volleyball net, and then she wouldn't play badminton with me.
2) My IROH unit started to combat my CABBAGE MAN unit because said unit's cabbages did not make good tea. As the CABBAGE MAN unit isn't equipped for combat, what can I do?
3) I bought a MOMO unit and a TY LEE unit at different times. My TY LEE unit won't leave my MOMO unit alone. This had made my AANG unit get all aangsty and stuff. Will my AANG unit forget about that if he kisses my KATARA unit?
4) I received a special-order BUMI unit, and my AANG unit ate some of those happy-pill things. I have a feeling it's gonna be bad when they kick in.
5) ZUKO unit dumped MAI unit, but he still won't go out with me.
Thank you!
roflmao. I don't use chatspeak in reviews but that was my reaction to these. These fics was just hilarious and I hope you enjoyed my troubleshooting problems.
Ratraccoon: We are more than happy to answer your questions.
1) What kind of metal are you using Gallium?(i)Use Tungsten next time! As for the badminton part of course she won't play without a net.
2) Are you stupid or something? Because your IROH unit obviously has a virus and you are double screwed because CABBAGE MAN units are not programmed for combat; not even for self defense purposes in fact all he does is run away. You will have to tranquilize your IROH unit and get a professional to fix him.
3) You sure that it is a TY LEE unit and the Avatar MOMO unit and not a FUU unit and a Samurai Champloo MOMO unit? It is still possible to accidentally get a FUU unit instead of a TY LEE unit (and vice versa); it's just more common when people buy TY LEE and MOMO units at the same time. Especially since the Samurai Champloo MOMO units come with FUU units (she is her pet flying squirrel after all).
4) First of all BUMI units do not come with King Bumi's happy pills (he doesn't need them; he just endorses it). In fact the pills are sold separately from all AtLA units and were primarily invented to be used on ZUKO units and sometimes MAI units for customers that were sick of seeing them unhappy but didn't want to upgrade, you drug addict. Though there may be some overdosing issues if he took more than 3 and may need to go to the hospital; the effects shouldn't be too bad on him as long as he doesn't need to save anyone for the next few hours. While he may initially feel more slightly energetic (from being extra happy) it won't be like anywhere near what happens when he drinks General Fong's energy drink. However if you were to tell your AANG unit that the nearest KATARA unit made out with a ZUKO unit and not only has Sozin's Comet arrived but it is going to hit the Earth he would probably say something like "That's Great now checkout this loop!".
5) There are only 2 possibilities for this. The first one being that he dumped that MAI unit because he just didn't want her to get involved in what he is doing but intends to try to get back together with her after the war and won't date anyone else. Or that he has dumped her for good and you have been on a date with him in the past or you're a guy. Unfortunately due to his gigolo program he is only a one date guy just ask any JIN unit; MAI units are the acceptation. If you were hoping to eventually get into his pants then you already blew your chances. Fortunately you can erase his memory of ever going out on a date with you.
Music in the Dark 2008-06-25 Hahaha that was good, but I have a question. I thought that combustion man was a stupid name so I renamed him, but for some reason he won't respond to Sparky Sparky Boom Man what should I do?
Ratraccoon:Sorry but COMBUSTION MAN units do not respond to Sparky Sparky Boom Man. They will only respond to Combustion Man or their actual name. Unfortunately only ZUKO units seem to know what his real name is any they're not telling.
XPAshBender 2008-01-04 "Warning 2: Any seemingly romantic encounters will just become evident plot devices"
LIES, LIES I SAY!
Scarlett Masquerade 2007-12-29 Mai's letter will say I h8 u Mai and I love Katara! Sorry. Zutarian outburst.
Ratraccoon: I had decided not to respond to the last 2 comments at the time and just let those two batshit crazy Canon! Zutarians make an ass out of themselves for later since there was just no reasoning with until after the finale. And yes I don't take these people seriously hence the reason why these comments are in the silly questions secrion.
shinenagai 2008-07-06 Dear manufacturer,
Why did it say that having TOPH unit and SOKKA unit harbour a premature death? What does it mean? I have my TOPH and SOKKA unit, and they look so cute together, especially when my TOPH unit clings to my SOKKA unit when it's not on solid ground. I want them to be together without any hazardous issues!
RSVP,
shinenagai
Order number: 1ELEVENOMG11-ILUVTOKKA-4EVA
Ratraccoon: Don't you know that something bad almost always happens to any one of a SOKKA unit's girlfriends? So of course your TOPH unit's chances of a premature death is significantly increased. But if you want them to get together we recommend taking any SUKI units out of the picture since it is needed just to make it possible. Though if you do this we strongly advise against allowing your SOKKA unit to go out on a date with your TOPH unit if it involves crashing Fire Nation zeppelins.
Semiserious questions and answers:
It'salreadycreeping 2007-12-05 That is hilarious. It's a clever and original idea, but it's also carried out in a way that...
Had me LOLing through the whole thing XD
Zuko's one will be hilarious. I can feel it ;P
Pretty much any character for Chap.3 would be perfect, but Sokka or Katara would be bound to get some laughs!
Can't wait for the next installment!
Ratraccoon: 2007-12-05 That's why I did a Zuko version after my Aang one because he would be such a high maintenance character that would need a lot of warning and caution labels. I'm almost done and could post it as is and it's already longer than my Aang version, but I feel something is missing in the frequently asked questions.
Just from the 2 reviews it looks like a Sokka version will be next. AN: I had responded to this in a review in the past.
TheTwilightRurouni 2007-12-14 Not into the Azulee, but still hilarious! and so true...
TrueThinker 2007-12-13 That was really funny. I have to say this was awfully creative. However, I've never been a fan of Azulee . . .
Ratraccoon: So does that mean you two prefer Ty Zula?
AStormIsBrewing 2007-12-13 One (1) Fire Nation princess outfit (similar to Zuko's) (version 2.0 only) ZUKO units came with a princess outfit? 8D
Ratraccoon: I was referring to the unisex robes that the adult members of the royal family seem to wear around the palace. Unh! I can't believe that they still wear that even after all these years (they have been since at least Sozin's time)!
Andrew-Squee 2008-01-09 Did I miss the section on "itch" mode? :\ AN: He is referring to the Katara guide.
Ratraccoon: It is a symptom of her angry setting.
The D team DinestyX and Daw... 2008-07-21 OMG I WANT AN IROH unit! How much?!
YOU ROCK!
silver-nightstorm 2008-03-23 ch 1, "Solution: If you have tried everything and nothing has worked we will send you a big bottle of King Bumi's Happy Pills®4 for just 149.99. So effective that your ZUKO unit will actually enjoy eating jook and drinking tea!
WARNING: May cause said ZUKO unit to bring home kittens. Be advised if you or someone you know has cat allergies."
OMG, that was priceless. How much to buy a ZUKO unit? I need to get one of these! LOL, you make it seem so real. Great job!
Ratraccoon: I haven't actually put a price tag on any particular unit. But I would imagine that they would cost thousands of dollars each and the price would very depending on the uses, what kind of accessories they come with, and whether or not the character is a bender. To get a good estimate I'd suggest that you see the Teo guide.
pureangel86 2008-05-20 I'm guessing you haven't updated this for Boiling Rock 1&2 because Sokka and Zuko get along fine together in it.
Ratraccoon: You're damn right I didn't! (At the time anyway.)
Serious questions and answers:
Synonymous Brian 2008-01-29 Oh my god, I read the same exact story thing for D. Gray-man except it was with DGM characters! The layout was exactly the same! I am serious! EXACTLY THE SAME! Now, of course I am not accusing you of stealing or plagiarism, perhaps it is the other author who is committing plagiarism. Anyway, just thought I should let you know!
Ratraccoon: I will admit that I did not come up with the idea and that I copied the layout. But it was not from Gray-man it was from MapleRose and mumyou nanashi who did Gundam Seed and Inuyasha characters and I give credit to since that is where I first saw this type of fanfiction. The only part of the layout that is different is to include the upgrades. If Gray-man has an upgrade section and it is in the same place then it is a coincidence because I have never seen his fanfics; I don't even know what DGM stand for so I am not likely to be part of its fan base past or present. I do know that the idea is an old one any we may never know who the originator is since this person may have let other people use his/her idea for other characters.
The-Jaron 2007-12-17 lol funny story and I've seen these before in the FMA section.
Also you cannot go around saying every other fanfiction is rubbish, you will get enemies and the idea is to keep as many people on your good side until you need them.
Jaron out and I like these things
avatarfanatic280 2007-12-16 HAHAHA! I really liked that. You should make like, a KATARA unit, or a TOPH unit. that would be very funny.
By the way, not all avatar the last airbender fanfics suck. A lot do, unfortunately, but, fortunately, there are like, fourteen thousand of them, so I do not really mind. sometimes the bad ones get in the way, though.
Ratraccoon: Then either you two have less discriminating taste or I have the incredibly bad luck of finding lousy Avatar the Last Airbender fanfics. I have found many great Neon Genesis Evangelion, Farscape, Inuyasha and Gundam Seed fanfics and a few notably good Battlestar Galactica (the new version), Naruto and Bleach fanfiction. It's just when it comes to Avatar fanfics (at least based on my experience) it's almost as bad as finding good Vandread fanfiction. And it was the reason why I was prompted to write for this fanbase.
AStormIsBrewing 2007-12-16 Hmm . . . somehow the Cabbage Merchant was not as entertaining as the others.
What about Frothers/Foamy?
Ratraccoon: 2007-12-16 Sorry I am not doing Foamy because he hasn't had enough screen time and next to nothing is known about him. I had already said basically that Cabbage Man was a borderline character that I would find worthy enough to do.
A character needs to have a certain amount of screen time and have a certain level of complexity for me to have something to write about. I almost didn't do this character because of this reason. And probably wouldn't have done him if he wasn't borderline and had alot of requests. I'm sorry but a character that only had a 30 second appearance isn't even considered to be close enough to be worthy of an owners manual. I just wont do a Foamy manual no matter how much you ask.
AN: Can you believe this person? I had just said in the Cabbage Man manual that I would not do Foaming at the Mouth Guy and he/she had just witnessed the reason why a manual for characters that are not well known are not as good. At least when it comes from me anyways. I would rather do Cabbage Man's Fire Nation counterpart Dry Cleaning Man than Foaming at the Mouth Guy. Poor guy not only gets the clothes he was cleaning stolen but also looses his money to Toph when she was scamming people.
Khajmer 2008-02-10 ... Wah? Is this from chapter 14, is that it? Please, respond and let me know because if it is I need to send the guys who run watch-avatar a very angry email about why they have not updated with it and find the episode.
ResidentPyromaniac 2008-02-13 LOL!
To Khajmer: Jun is the one that Zuko sent after Katara and then Aang with Katara's necklace in the first season. Oh, and I request a Teo one... please?
Ratraccoon: Thank you ResidentPyromaniac!
Mrs.Weasley the Kataang Luv... 2008-06-02 These are awesome. Great work. I've read almost all of your, "Guide/manual" fics and love all of them. I was wondering, do you think I could use the idea in as a fic of my own. For another topic of course, and I'd disclaimer the idea as yours. What do you think? Thanks.
Ratraccoon: Sure go for it!
Jordana Kari 2007-12-05 ch 1, I love that comic strip. I choose to believe that you are a Maiko and you spoiled nothing with the whole plot device thing. Good guide.
Ratraccoon: Not really; in fact I was originally against it until I saw "The Headband" and saw how happy they were. Afterwards I thought why try to ruin their happiness since both of them are rarely happy and let them just angst together. As for the plot device it was because I can't stand Zutara and because it's true. Admit it! It's Mike and Bryan's way of playing zutarians for their own amusement!
Zeiramsy 2008-08-13 Is an upgrade to 3.5(ii) version coming soon, cause I love to see new relationship modes with ZUKO and SUKI units.
Ratraccoon: Well, well aren't you just eager. You couldn't even wait for it to be transferred. By the way all of my fanfics of characters that were in the second half of season 3 have been updated when they were transferred if they weren't up to date already.
Nitpicking about my fics:
Scarlett Masquerade 2008-04-05 Um...Did you notice that he magically turned into Roku at the "Your unit will come with the following" part? AN: This was for Sozin.
Stupid is as Lana Does 2008-02-08 lol, yay! Love the "vanishing cream" part! lol
You do realize, however, that you said "You are now the proud owner of a fully automated TOPH unit." right? AN: This was for Long Feng.
Summer Sweetheart 2008-07-04 I noticed an error in this story:
Congratulations! You are now the proud owner of a fully automated YUE unit.
It should be Pakku. Not Yue... Just thought I'd point that out to you. And since you're taking requests, how 'bout a KANA owner's guide?
Ratraccoon: Cut and paste mistakes seem to be my most common major mistake. I do a lot of cut and paste for characters with similar backgrounds.
Stupid is as Lana Does 2007-12-14 I love it! Iroh rules. Except for one thing I noticed...
"While your IROH unit may not be able to actually create lightning himself he can alter its path and use it against other lightingbenders."
Iroh -can- lightningbend, as he tries to teach Zuko how. -Zuko- however, couldn't learn it, so he taught him the move he made up.
Other than that, great job
HINTHINT now do Cabbage Man ;)
TheTwilightRurouni 2007-12-14 Ha! This is hilarious! The only problem is that Iroh can actually create lightning. Must find AZULA manual!
Sayle 2007-12-14 I quite like this, as I like the others in this theme. But there is a mistake. Iroh can create lightning, as seen in Bitter Work (on screen) and Crossroads of Destiny (off screen).
Ratraccoon: I was surprised on how quickly everyone responded to this mistake; this was not from a cut and paste mistake but a continuity mistake that I had made due to not seeing these episodes in awhile.
mildura 2007-12-14 Silly manufacturer! You forgot to include the (1) Tea Set accessory!
Lol, Iroh naked.
Ratraccoon: Oops.
Pepipanda 2008-03-31 You mention the liu quin. It's actually a yue qin, and I can play it!(I'm half Chinese) I just thought that was cool.
Ratraccoon: Either that instrument is called something else in a different Chinese dialect than the one you're familiar with (I'm assuming that you know at least a few Chinese words) or someone at tv(dot)com has been misinformed because that is where I got the information from. Honestly you know more about it than I do.
Amaranth Pink 2008-02-12 There are some mistakes:
1) Isn't Azula 15?
2) It's spelled 'Ba Sing Se'...right?
Other than that, this just keeps getting better and better. xD
Ratraccoon: 2008-02-12 Azula being 15 is a misconception. It's actually 14; people get confused because Mai is 15. Secondly Ba Sing Sei is another way to spell it. Interestingly enough it was the more common spelling a year ago. I might want to point out while on the subject that there are 2 different ways to spell Hama/Hamma's name.
swan-swan 2008-01-10 Hmm... It seems logical.
As to ii, I think Mai is actually the one with ADHD. Or ADD. Picking her nails as a kid, sick of sitting still, twirling a knife, constantly moving...
Very brilliant writing, and an amusing read.
Ratraccoon: I think you would be sick of sitting still after 15 years! Besides I see no evidence of her having a short attention span.
Andrew-Squee 2008-01-08 I could be wrong but... I'm pretty sure I read the ZUKO unit manual on AFF
Ratraccoon: Yeah I know I found that out later. Why the hell would anyone put a fanfic there if it could just as easily be here? That is not the place where I would be looking for that sort of fanfiction!
Summer Sweetheart 2007-12-30 Funny! But I don't think Ty Lee is a part of a septuplet set... and I never heard of that rumor that she was descended from the Air Nomads. Interesting...
Stupid is as Lana Does 2007-12-31 Lol! I like the WTF setting! -grins-
yeah, I think she's a septuplet, since she talks about being a "set", and why would you be a set with people that are all born at different times? IF that makes sense... -cough-
so, yeah... methinks you should do... Foo-Foo Cuddly Poops next! or not...
Ratraccoon: Thank you Stupid is as Lana Does! And might I add that you certainly don't live up to your name!
SeaSpectre160 2008-08-20 Nice work! But just so you know, you were talking about the wrong spirit, in the Yue one too. La is the Ocean Spirit, Tui's the Moon Spirit, the one who gets killed and stuff. But that's really the only issue, therefore, I give you a 9.9(a lot of nine's, alright?) out of ten. Cuz it's not too important as to which spirit name you use.
Ratraccoon: Are you sure? "The people of the Water Tribe saw how she moved the tides and learned how to imitate that skill. La and her eternal counterpart, the Ocean Spirit Tui." "Tui is the black koi." "La is the white koi and her name means 'pull' in Chinese, while Tui means 'push'." This is all from Avatar Spirit(dot)Net; one of the most reliable sources on Avatar information. And even though the official Nick website does not tell you which one is which but it does have a close up of La and moon spirit Yue in the gear and more section.

Keiri Bradon 2008-04-12 Oh...my...gosh! That was hilarious.
It was cute and original. You put great ideas into this story(ish thing). You included stuff from the show while making it sound like an actual owner's guides. Kudos and keep up the good work!
SimpleBend 2008-01-17 Hahaha, good work with this one! XD
Jewely2951 2008-01-12 I think that's the only Instructions manual I've ever been able to read fully. lol. I especially love the Q&A. This is the first of your Manuals I've read so far. I'm so gonna look up the rest. Great fic. :D

For Lo & Li
meluvtasuki 2008-07-04 These are all so funny!
(And considering the way they look I wouldn't be surprised if the two of them taught Sozin and whichever fire lord was Azula and Zuko's grandfather. (I can never remember his name ...Azulon?))
crazyzukofangirl1280 2008-07-03 Date of Manufacture: Approximately 100 years ago

For Mai
EmpressYam
2008-01-05 It's all so true! XD
TrueThinker 2007-12-29 Ha! This was actually rather well-written and interesting. Being the Mai fan I am, it would be cool to have my own Mai to be my gothic best friend. Write more of these, they're gold.
amaurea3000 2007-12-23 hilarious.
Stupid is as Lana Does 2007-12-20 lol! Love the speculation about Mai and Ty Lee at the end! That was hilarious! Which means... we need Ty Lee now! -joyful clapping-

zutarakid50 2008-08-05 OMG this is so funny! I'm going to read your other ones!
Chaosmaiden07 2008-03-30 I like the Zuko unit.
TrueThinker 2008-01-12 I've always wanted to own my own Ozai . . . I just love him. Great job :)
SimpleBend 2008-01-11 Thanks for the Ozai unit! I loved the "refused to be weighed" "butt kisser" and "flying-hippo-cow". LOL! XD
Shinobi Bender 2008-01-08 ROFL! Keep this up! Would you do a Jeong Jeong?
Ieyre 2008-01-08 I feel bad now because I am one of those older Ozai fangirls...
For Pakku:
A Tearbender 2008-07-24 Grand Pop-Pop!
JustLittleOldMe 2008-07-19 That's just funny. Thanks for writing this up, I needed a good laugh.
For Sokka
Caramel Crazy 2008-06-14 Haha... Loved it. Well done.
Kid Eternity 2007-12-10 That was pretty good! Very funny, do more pls.
Sokkas Instincts 2 2007-12-10 Just thinking here, might be a little one sided, but Azula could be pretty funny, as would an Iroh or a cabbage merchant. Where is he anyway?
ishmaranara 2007-12-10 Ah Sokka, think he will ever live down the cactus juice incident. Seriously though a nice job.
SimpleBend 2007-12-08 LOL! I want my Sokka unit!
AStormIsBrewing 2007-12-06 This was too funny. I can't wait to see the ZUKO unit. But I want to see a FOAMY unit! huggles foamy mouth guy
For Suki
I Took The 4052008-05-15 ch 1, lol CAUTION: Fighting a TY LEE unit could trigger her WTF setting. HAHA great
Andrew-Squee 2008-01-08 ch 1, lol at the mascara and the troubleshooting for getting her make-up off
AnimegirlKiki 2008-01-06 ch 1, LOL. I love your flicks! Nice job. Lol, AN: "Flicks"?
Stupid is as Lana Does 2008-01-04 ch 1, lol yay, acidic substances for makeup removal!
I love the Q&As and troubleshootings... these things are awesome! Hmm... could you make a Yue unit, or is there not enough junk about her?
For Toph
Sanna Lan 2008-07-30 Sweet! Send me one, plz!
shinenagai 2008-07-06 So awesome. This guide doesn't need anything else, except the hotline where I can order TOPH's clothing series.
Now, now, which number to place one more TOPH unit order and additional HINATA HYUUGA unit?
Caramel Crazy 2008-06-14 Nicely written, loved the Hinata insert there.
Mr.Evil 2008-05-22 very creative
CounterToThePath 2008-01-03 Great job, this one might be one of my favorites. Ha, romantic relationship with Sokka unit might cause premature death. That's just great, but I feel sorry for him, all of his girlfriends seem to die.
The Varajan 2007-12-22 Dude and/or dudette this bit is uber funny. Keep writing...
-Respectfully The Varajan
ThumperMiggles 2007-12-17 ZOMGS! SEND ME ONE!
avatarfanatic280 2007-12-16 I really like these owner's manual fics. Are there more?
Ari-Griffin 2007-12-13 Funny! My favorite was "WARNING: Getting into a romantic relationship with a SOKKA unit increases her chance of a premature death." and the parts about mud fighting and scamming.
Pyric 2007-12-11 Heh, I really like this. What a great idea! I thought it was going to be weird when I started reading it but...well it's clever and I liked it a lot. Really something!
Naturally I have to comment about the risks of "premature death" if I allow my TOPH unit to get into a relationship with a SOKKA unit...because that would just be sad. Also, my TOPH unit and I have agreed that the risks would be worth it, because they are just great together.
Anyway, a really great idea and very well written. Excellent work!
AnimegirlKiki 2007-12-11 LMBO! This is great. Love the Hinata joke. Heehee. Nice job. Lol,
Tokkalover 2007-12-11 Wow, I love it! Favorites
Shinobi Bender 2007-12-11 Nice, I love it especially the Hinata Hyuuga part. Please keep it up. I wonder could you do Mai next?
For Ty Lee
CounterToThePath 2008-01-03 nevermind, Ty Lee's is much better
shadoweddrm 2007-12-30 this is REALLY cool!
websitefanboy 2007-12-30 loved it! Very funny! You should do Hama next please!
Kid Eternity 2007-12-30 Very funny, especially the Sokka part, this is a bit similar review from the Sokka unit fic, well ta-ra!
Scarlett Masquerade 2007-12-29 Haha first review! Oh btw that was hilarious!
For Yue
space penguin 2008-07-07 OMG this is really funny! And really creative! At first I was like "WTF?", but after that I started cracking up laughing!
I would like to purchase a Yue unit please! XD
For Zhao
SimpleBend 2008-01-03 Hahahahahaha LOL! Faves Thank you for doing ZHAO! orders. An Ozai unit should be interesting to see too.
WWMTgirl 2008-01-02 laughs I love these things! I most formally request a STAR unit. (You know...the girl that called Toph a poodle-monkey).
Stupid is as Lana Does 2008-01-02 "With proper care and maintenance, your ZHAO unit should not burn everything in sight or cause the apocalypse."
ROFL!! I want one! lol
Now... Bumi! We need the crazy king!!
crazyzukofangirl1280 2008-01-02 How 'bout FOAMY! That'll btw cool! And Yue, Suki! Pauku, Gran Gran! Ozai, Long Feing SPARKY SPARKY BOOM MAN!
zara2148 2008-01-02 May I suggest Jet for the next one? Or Bumi.
Amaranth Pink 2008-01-02 This is the most different one from the others XD Can the next one be either Ozai or Ursa? :3
For Zuko
fourfourfourfour 2008-07-30 ch 2, Ahahahaha great update! I noticed that tear thing too, I guess they goofed it when they did the animation for his reunion with Iroh or something.
Pepipanda 2008-07-29 ch 2, Nice update. I've read most of the Owner's Guides and they are funny! I did notice that there is no mention of the new lightning scar in this one, but I don't see anywhere where that would really fit in, so it's fine. Thanks for writing these!
Andrew-Squee 2008-01-08 ch 1, And I've seen the comic strip, too! lol greatness
fourfourfourfour 2008-01-07 ch 1, ha ha ha, this was great! you really made that manual air tight ;D
Ieyre 2007-12-19 ch 1, "I'm dropping out of school to join my gay lover's heavy metal band and I'm worshiping Satan. Speaking of which I have killed the family dog/cat as an animal sacrifice."
I loled so HARD at that. For realz.
TrueThinker 2007-12-13 ch 1, Haha. I like this one. You're 'Owner's Guide' stories are hilarious.
ishmaranara 2007-12-10 ch 1, Of course he was cute and tiny, and I bet his Ursa said so many times. This made me laugh, thanks.
Harpygirl91 2007-12-07 ch 1, Crazy Reviewer Unit
Watch as it- randomly blinks for 1-5 minutes, falls over in laughter hitting head on desk due to her being at school, continues laughter while wishing the ZUKO unit was real, and congratulates you on making one of the funniest Zuko fanfics of all time while adding story to her faves.
lightning-storm 2007-12-05 ch 1, This is one of the most original stories I've seen. I love it! Hey maybe you can have a little series of Avatar units. ;p
Solembum13 2007-12-05 ch 1, This is one of the funniest fanfictions I have aver read. I love the line about the Chia pet: Cut off his ponytail, throw his barber overboard and watch it grow...XD
good job. :D
Tomogirl 2007-12-05 ch 1, dies of laughter This is ingenious. Oh my gosh... Imagine the entire Avatar cast's action figures being life-size tall robots. Great! I love the creativity. And the kittens!! Hahaha! Brings back plenty of memories of Zuko going on happy pills in Deviant Art. Whoo...
skittlesandcombos 2007-12-05 ch 1, I want one! Lol. You make it seem real. Good job.
i() If you don't already know gallium is the metal (made artificially) with the 3rd lowest melting point at around 30°C. I chose this because cesium is too unstable and explodes when in contact with water and mercury is a liquid at room temperature. Plus both mercury and cesium are toxic and so far the only known health risk from handling gallium is skin irritation.
ii() The writer of this review originally said 3.0 but he/she clearly means 3.5.
