Thinking of writing a fic? Great! Here are some ideas you can use to keep your fic from straying into the cliche...assuming that's what you want to do.

• Stories focusing on the spiritual world.
  
  
• Stories focusing on minor one-ep charrys.
  
  
• Stories focusing on the war (ex: A fic starring Katara/Sokka's dad)
  
  
• Stories focusing on past Avatars.
  
  
• Stories focusing on the happenings at the temples.
  
  
• Stories where Ozai WINS.
  
  
• Stories containing vast amounts of political intrigue.
  
  
• A one-shot where Zuko stops at a harbor and doesn't fall in love with a street urchin.
  
  
• Anything focusing on Lieutenant Jee or other members of Zuko's crew.
  
  
• Stories focusing on Bumi/Iroh/Gyatso/Gran-Gran's childhood.
  
  
• Romance stories that pairs Katara with someone other than Aang or Zuko. (Like Haru. Or Jet. Or the firebender performer from The Deserter.) Good La, it's been written!
  
  
• A friendship story between Zuko and Sokka.
  
  
• Anything about the Yu Yan.
