Avatar at New York Comic Con!

We still can't talk specifics about what will be happening and who will be there and other OFFICIAL information of that sort. (Though trust me. AWESOME.) However, I've been told that I can reveal one aspect of the Avatar-related content at NYCC:

I'm helping to organize an Avatar-related event at the con, the focus of which will be the fandom itself. We'll show AMVs, profile fancomics, share our favorite fanart, have a cosplay contest, maybe read some fanfic -- generally, just showcase some of the really fantastic stuff that fans have come up with! It'll be a lot of fun, BUT!

WE NEED YOUR HELP.

I'm only one lady, after all, and there's only so much of fandom that I've seen. So what I really need are recommendations! The more the merrier, seriously. I can't guarantee how much we'll end up using, but any and all suggestions would be appreciated! The only thing I'll say is that this it shouldn't be more than PG-13 (though I suppose some selective editing could be done in some cases to make things kid-safe) and that we're tending more toward badassery and funny than drama and romance.

AMV and other fan vid recs would be especially awesome, since they can be much more difficult to sort through!

BONUS REQUEST:

We really really really REALLY want some Rock Benders at this panel. As in, a band who will get up on stage and play Avatar-inspired music. WE WANT IT SO BAD WE CAN TASTE IT. Even if you aren't local but have some musical talent and the means to record it, MP3s and music videos would be fantastic. Because hey: if Harry Potter fandom could do it, SO CAN WE.

(Feel free to pimp this post out elsewhere, if you are so inclined! I also posted here, on Avatar_Fans)

You have let loose the flood gates, my friend :3

Here are some recommendations:

[link] ravenhpltc24's "Remember the Name". Video editing at it's best!

[link] swan2swan's "Fun with Ty Lee and Azula". This one cracks me up every time XD

[link]
"Zuko goes from Zero to Hero". One of mine. Pretty funny.

[link] GanXingba's "Avatar Abridged Special: Haru Beauty Products". Or any of the abridged series, it's great.

[link] Shihiki's "Catch-A-Firebender". So full of awesome, it isn't even funny.


And this may not be in the media vein you were looking for... but there's an enormous Avatar-based roleplay on Distant Horizons called A Far Cry From Home, that is still going strong after a full year. If that isn't a testament of the fanbase's dedication, I don't know what is.

I hope that helped! Good luck on your search! :3

I WAS GOING TO START AN AVATAR-INSPIRED MUSIC GROUP!!!
I mean, I've got musical friends and I'm learning to sing
...
but the guy that was to pay the drums got angry at me and Ihaven't heard of him for a month now D:

Screw the rules, I have MONEH
:iconwaterbenderbunny:
Ahh, I would love to go. But I'm still in high school and going to NY for a con isn't going to work well with my parents. They don't understand what people do at cons that makes it worth going. *sigh*...

I sent Dave Roman some of my AMVs though, since you guys needed stuff.

Someone better take awesome footage of this event! I was foaming over pictures of the SDCC event. xD

I am Ty Lee in The Unofficial Avatar Crew

:iconethereal-glutton:
Does it have to be a rock band? Could it be a DJ? Hip Hop?

Just wondering.

I can see it now...here for your musical enjoyment...The Tea Weevils!

:headbang:

I'll help spread the word around.

(OMG TEA WEEVILS)

If you need a video, here's one: [link]

Not really a music vid, but still, it's short...some people might get it....the end could always be shaved off....

Just a wacky interlude. Though, I'm not sure how many people would get it....

This is a much-loved one: [link]

Little-known fact: The cute Mai in Zuko's flashback, the knife-throwing warrior, and the affectionate and sarcastic love of Zuko's life are all the same girl.
