I'm sure I'm not the only one to have noticed this, but for some reason the Avatar fandom seems to have a lack of love for the ladylove. By which I mean that there's basically no femslash content. At all. Despite the canon practically feeding it to us on a silver platter, with a cherry on top.
What's the deal, fandom?
So, in an attempt to counteract this, I am starting up the one, the only...
AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER FEMSLASH MEME
How does it work? Well, it works like this:
--> People post requests. These requests should be posted in the following format:
Pairing/Threesome/Moresome: (The characters and relationships involved. Must be femslash, obviously. Which means any two ladies from Avatar. Katara/Toph, Ty Lee/Azula, Jun/Lily, it's all good)
Prompt: (A sentence, word, phrase, whatever. Something for the writer to go on. Be as specific or vague as you'd like, but vague is generally better)
Porn: Yes/No/Fishstick (If you specifically want porn, put Yes in this field. If you specifically do NOT want porn, put No in this field. If you don't care and will take either, put Fishstick)
Other: (Any other relevant information goes here)
Requests can be anonymous, or they can be signed. IP logging is off.
--> People fulfill requests. That means they reply to the request with a fanwork for the pairing that matches the prompt and any other information given. Fic, art, whatever, it's all good. Again, these can be posted anonymously or signed, and IP Logging is off. It's better if it's signed, though, so we can tell who to thank.
--> We have a never-ending circle of femslash content. Well, ideally.
A few things to remember:
1. Please fill at least as many requests as you make. I hope I don't need to explain why this is necessary. If everybody's requesting and nobody's filling, the meme dies.
2. Please prioritize older requests over new ones. I'm not telling you which ones to fill, but if there's an unfilled request on page one, and an unfilled request on page five, and you're equally inspired by both...please fill the old one first. That requester's been waiting around for longer.
3. Please prioritized unfilled requests over filled ones. If there's a prompt in there that really gets your creative juices flowing, but someone else has already filled it...well, then go ahead, man! Fill it anyway! The requester'll be overjoyed to get two pieces for it. But if there's an unfilled request that you could also be doing...please do that one. Remember, we're trying to share the love as widely as possible.

5. PROFIT!
I'm pimping this out everywhere I can think of, so I'm sorry if your flist gets spammed. I encourage you to do that same. Even a link on your personal journal will be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

It was with this in mind that Toph had called him to the baths that night, a smirk on her face as she watched him reluctantly climb out of bed, as though she was enjoying torturing him for what he'd done to her feet. By the time he'd climbed the stairway to the upper part of the main temple, still rubbing his eyes and grumbling about the interruption, he was surprised to find that Toph wasn't alone.
Katara was there in the bath with her, leaning against the carved stone with her back to the entrance, tresses of elegant dark hair spilling across cocoa skin. The shorter Earthbender was seated on her right, and Zuko was struck by the impossibly long sheet of black that pooled over her shoulders like a cloak; it somehow made the brash girl seem much older, more mature, even more confident than normal. The two Benders were talking closely to one another, whispering things that provoked giggles and playful grins. Zuko assumed they were simply visiting, talking the way that good friends do until he caught the suggestive inflection in Toph's voice, the touch of red on Katara's face and a look in her blue eyes that he could only describe-- having seen it from Mai himself-- as adoration.
Zuko suddenly felt uneasy, as if he wasn't supposed to be here, and began wondering when Toph was going to acknowledge his presence; she must have heard him already. But if Toph knew he was there she made no indication-- she seemed oblivious to everything but Katara.
