A note to everyone who reads Superstition: NO, it is not over. YES, I am in the process of formulating the next plot arc. I think I've got most of it in my head, I just need to start writing it. And as a special spoiler for everyone who reads my drabbles AND my Big Damn Fic, I'll tell you this: Toph will be joining the Gaang in my BDF, and I'm definitely considering using the Blue Spirit at some point or another in the near future. So be on the lookout for the new chapter, okay? Thanks!
