PLEASE READ: URGENT PODCAST UPDATE

Tumblr has for some reason & without warning deleted The Jasmine Dragon Tea Hour podcast blog that myself, @rideboldlyride & @bulletproofteacup are running.

We will continue to post on our own blogs about the podcast until we can get this mess sorted out.

This honestly sucks because we had so much planned.

Please stay tuned for more info on all our 3 personal blogs about our podcast!

Thank you for the support y'all

Are you still doing the Jasmine Podcast? Cause I have to say thank you for all of the great fic recommendations.

Ah! So glad you've enjoyed it! Yes we are, but we're taking a little hiatus over the holiday season and into the new year. We plan to be back on the "air" in February with more art, fic and news content (and some other really cool stuff in the works)!

I'm so glad you've been enjoying the fics we have reviewed so far, and we have plenty more coming your way. ❤️

Rec List Saturday

Alright alright alright, I know I said I was done for ZFAW, but I lied because it’s REC LIST SATURDAY.

I honestly think this final day of the week embodies what the whole thing is about -- with only so many hours in the day to actually create fanwork inspired content, it’s our chance to pull together lists of all the works/creators that we didn’t have the opportunity to pay tribute to across the rest of the week and show them some love. So with that in mind I’m actually going to be reccing people rather than individual works, because so many folk have contributed loads of wonderful pieces. @rideboldlyride - my first friend in the fandom, and a double/triple/quadruple threat with awesome contributions across multiple media (writer, artist, tech whizz, and podcast host), is there anything this gal can’t do?? @formerlygoldilocks - coming in hot with a newly-made fandom blog but active on AO3 for a number of months now with a mixture of angst and fluff, one-shots and long-form, and one truly hilarious and bizarrely heartwarming crack piece under her belt.

@all-thewaydown - someone else who’s nailing both the long- and short-form work on AO3! In particular I have to recommend her Zutara Fluff Exchange piece, ‘of rules and traditions’

@cablesscutie - a brilliant writer with truly fantastic comedic skill chops who literally never fails to impress me no matter what she writes (if you’re 18+ and okay with reading E-rated material, please check out her Katara Has a Cat series, you won’t regret it).

@theadamantdaughter - my first bookmark on AO3 was Adamant’s collab with @atomicpen, Perfect Places. I believe it’s been discontinued now, and Adamant is not currently active on AO3, but there is an absolute stack of ATLA fanfiction on her profile as it is. Even aside from writing, her tumblr account is full of Zutara content and it’s one of the things that fed me when I was first coming into the fandom last year, so I owe her a lot.

@my-bated-breath - not only is this seventeen-year-old writing well beyond her years, but she has so much incredible analysis and insight to give in her amazing ATLA/Zutara metas. 100% worth both reading and following.

@antarcticasx - another even younger person at sixteen (oh my god, just make me feel old, why don’t you), here we have a total writing machine whose AO3 is packed with Zutara content. Her blog is also super active so if ATLA/Zutara chat is what you’re looking for then look no further.

@doodleladi - a wonderful, wonderful artist who has tackled both in-universe and AU artworks alike (this is a particular favourite of mine). Another member of the @jdteahour crew along with Ride and @bulletproofteacup!

@amourinette - another beautiful artist who created one of my favourite ATLA artworks (steamy, so beware if you’re full of youth). Like seriously I have this picture bookmarked on my laptop ‘cause I love it so much.

@hayleynfoster - I mean, I’d be remiss if I didn’t tag her, but if you don’t know who she is and the incredible stuff that she produces then where have you been?? Get your butt over to her profile and educate yourself in the ways of Zutara art and animatics.

@iwritevictuuri - known as LittleLostStar on AO3, offers incredible characterisation and storytelling prowess, although beware that almost all her work for ATLA is either M- or E-rated!

Finally, I would like to take a moment to acknowledge someone whose writing pushes me to be better myself and never fails to amaze me. If you want exquisite description and insanely beautiful world-building/-expanding, your search begins and ends with @fictionissocialinquiry. My idol, my dream, my mad Aussie fandom-wife, this woman has so much talent it’s crazy and please just read her work (again, beware multiple mature-rated fics, check ratings before reading). She’s gonna be a best-selling author one day, so check her out now so you can say you liked her work before she was famous.

And that’s me done. Hope everyone has enjoyed this week, and thank you so much to @hinaoyamas/ @zkfanworkweek for putting it together!

Love to all!

IT’S ON AO3!!! I’ve previously gone into (justified) raptures about the @jdteahour team ( @rideboldlyride, @bulletproofteacup, @doodleladi) and their phenomenal audio serialization of Tempest in a Teacup. The serial is now being linked to AO3 meaning you can: 1) track updates (in case Tumblr notification decide to shun you) + 2) listen more easily if you’re having weird connection issues with Spotify + 3) give this awesome crew kudos and love. Happy listening, ahoy!

8, 9, and 20 for the fic writers asks!

Than you for the ask!

8 - Share a snippet from one of your favorite dialogue scenes you’ve written and explain why you’re proud of it.

From The World Will Always Welcome Lovers

Somehow Katara was able to go on autopilot and she heard herself asking, in her best customer service voice, “Good morning! What can I get for you today?”

“Grande Nitro Cold Brew.” His voice was raspy and she wondered if it was because of the early hour or if he always sounded like that. He was rather gruff though, and she found herself fighting a frown. Somehow that snapped her out of autopilot.

“Perfect, did you want a breakfast sandwich or pastry to go with that?” She flashed him her best “I’m being nice to you, be nice back” smile as she punched in his drink order.

“No,” he grunted out, already pulling out his phone to scan his app.

She clenched her jaw but kept a smile on. Just one more semester of this. She pressed the total button. “Alright that will be-”

“Five-sixty, yep, thanks,” he cut her off as he scanned his phone. She narrowed her eyes at him but kept her tone level. “Did you need a receipt today?”

“No.”

Thank goodness the register didn’t take forever to process. “Alright you’re all set, we’ll have that out in a few minutes.”

Really any of the dialogue before they touch was fun for me to write because I have worked in customer service roles my entire working career and it was just really nice to vent. Like we’ve all had those customers where you are just like “C’mon, just let me get this over with so you can leave me alone” and I hope that anyone that also works in customer service was able to laugh at the relatability.

9 - Which fic has been the hardest to write?

Rated E for a reason! But A Kiss is just a Kiss. I do read a lot of smut fics but I was TERRIFIED to write one. I could only write the scene like, one or two sentences at a time before I had to flip to a fic I was reading or do something else because I was so paranoid about it.

20- Describe your perfect writing conditions.

Cozied up on my couch, wrapped up in a blanket, with a hot beverage nearby. Depending on my mood, maybe I’m listening to music or the @jdteahour podcast, but I often work in silence (because the constant Zutara white noise in my brain is already pretty loud).
