I would say book 3 of both series!

Glad to hear the show inspired you to write!

First off, all of the answers I give about a new series are strictly HYPOTHETICAL. There is no new series, as sometimes gets reported...

The evolution in storytelling from Avatar to Korra was a result of me and Bryan maturing as storytellers as well as aging up the main character, so we went from what might be considered "middle grade" in Avatar to "young adult" in Korra. But I didn't feel limited by either series in what we could or couldn't explore. I find that a children's series can delve into some pretty deep social and personal issues.

Rebel Genius (which is categorized as middle grade) definitely deals with some similar themes as far as personal traumas and societal struggles. I would say there is even more freedom in publishing to explore these kinds of topics than in tv, so for now I'm going to stick with novels! Thanks for stopping by.

Thanks so much!

As far as villains... One of the keys to deciding who the villain should be is to figure out what your hero is dealing with and exploit that. Who is the one person that can get under the hero's skin the most? For example, when we were trying to figure out who the villain of Korra, Book 1 would be, once we had decided that Korra's character was going to be all about bending and how great it was, Bryan and I hit upon the idea of a guy who can take bending away permanently and was the leader of an anti-bending revolution -- Amon.

And as far as the comics -- Gene Yang has been leading the writing, but I consult with him, give notes on outlines and scripts, so I'm still very much involved, but Gene really does the heavy lifting!

Yes, hopefully in the comics, we'll have a chance to go to the Fire Nation and see how it has changed since A:TLA.

Thanks for sharing your experience. It's been humbling to hear how Korra and Asami's relationship means so much to people.

It's hard to say if we would have structured the series differently if we knew ahead of time how many season we'd have. We did the best we could with the knowledge we had at the time. Starting out we thought we'd only have a 12 episode miniseries.

But I'm currently writing the Korra graphic novels and we get to see much more of Korra and Asami's relationship develop without any limitations from a TV network, which has been freeing to say the least.
