How did you get into Avatar?: Lots of stuff! My niece and nephew watched Imprisoned and I watched it with them, people were playing the characters in an RPG I was playing in, my best friend sent me youtube links . . . I got hooked. =D What was your reaction to the series?: The first time I watched it with my niece and nephew I was pretty surprised by how funny it was. "THAT LEMUR IS EARTHBENDING OMGWTF" and all. When I first saw the previews I thought that Nickelodeon was just capitalizing on anime fever, but I was definitely willing to give it a chance. I've been a fan of cartoons, especially adventure cartoons with a consecutive storyline and characters that I can love, for a long time, so when I realized Avatar was just that, I was an extremely happy girl. Does Avatar rank very high on your fandom list?: At the moment it's tops! It's the fandom I go crazy for and exactly the kind of thing that I as a college student aiming for a career in scriptwriting want to work on. Have
( ... )
Other fandoms? My ultimate fandom loyalty is to Lord of the Rings, but Xena: Warrior Princess is a strong contender for the top seat, too. I'll watch and probably love anything Joss Whedon has had a hand in, so, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, and Firefly are awesome. I adore the Tenth Kingdom, lots. I'm also hoping against hope to one day find someone who loves the W.I.T.C.H. comic books as much as I do. I'm not crazy about the cartoon, but the comic book is something I wish I'd had when I was 12. I love Will so much. I pretty much was her when I was her age. Minus the cool powers. Interests outside of fandom: I'm an anthropology major and I love learning about human culture. I'm learning capoeira, tai chi, and yoga, and I like cooking. It sounds so generic to say i like music, but my taste is too broad to narrow down beyond that. I like techno and celtic and rai and traditional Japanese instrumentation and middle-eastern bellydancing music and banghra and Polynesian music and . . . yeah, many things

How did you get into Avatar?: I've seen snatches on TV but never managed to see a full episode. I had heard a lot about it, and thought mentally that someday I should set aside some time and really watch it. Then I found it online and started watching it and became absolutely hooked. I finished the entire season1-season2 in like, 5 days, watching day and night. XDD That's how obsessed (I like to call it dedicated :3) I get. What was your reaction to the series?: Cute, Funny, great art, original, lovely story~~~~ Does Avatar rank very high on your fandom list?: Oh yeah baby. Top 3. Have you see the series in its entirety?: As much as released! XD Favorite characters: Aang, Zuko, Sokka... Aang I have a soft spot for, Zuko is ZUKO! and Sokka never fails to make me laugh. But I like the girls of the gAang too. It's just that those 3 never fail to elicite a reaction from me. Least favorite characters: Err... Ty Lee. I'M SORRY! I find her more annoying than cute. 8'D Favorite episodes: THE BLUE SPIRIT!

When I tend to become a real fan of something, I become absolutely die-hard. XD I like deep discussions, but the conversations composed of "ZOMG! DID HE JUST-?!?!? EEEEEEEK" probably will be expected once season 3 comes out.
We are the same. I want to make sure I have someelse who I can have conversation just like that (and be ok with my relative incoherence) once Season 3 starts.
How did you get into Avatar?: A friend of mine mentioned the show and I watched Season 1 and the beginning of Season 2 online. That was before youtube cracked down so hard on copyrighted stuff.
What was your reaction to the series?: OMG!!!!!!!!! WHY HAVEN'T I HEARD OF THIS SHOW?????!?!?!?!?!!
Does Avatar rank very high on your fandom list?: Right now, YESYESYESYES No more Harry Potter - AVATAR IS PRETTY MUCH #1!
Have you see the series in its entirety?: I've seen every episode if that's what you mean.
Favorite characters: Toph, Sokka, Aang, Azula, Ty Lee, Mai, Zuko, Iroh
Least favorite characters: Katara, stupidhaircut!Zuko, Toph's parents,

What are you looking forward to most in the third season? Awesome fight scenes, Aang learning firebending, Zuko taking down Azula, the awesome-ness that is Toph
Heores, His Dark Materials (Can't wait for the Golden Compass movie), Twilight(I just got into this but do I love it with passion of a thousand feiry suns!), House, Harry Potter. LOVE OF TOPH!
How did you get into Avatar?: On accident. I caught the show on TV one day and fell in lurve. What was your reaction to the series?: 'Oh my god, something well animated on TV *watchwatchwatch*' Does Avatar rank very high on your fandom list?: Extremely high, especially now with season 3 and all. But I think the awesomely cool fandom and the creators' interaction with their fanbase helps alot. You can tell they love their fans and that makes being a fan awesome.

Least favorite characters: Jet's the only character I never cared for.
