First of all, thank you for shaping my childhood. My friend once convinced me that she and you were related and wrote me a fake letter from “you.” I was furious when she confessed to her lie. I’ve wanted to be a filmmaker and storyteller since I was eight years old and Avatar helped put me on that path. In fact, I started writing my first script at that age simply because I was so inspired by the show.

MY QUESTION; Avatar, despite being a Nickelodeon kid’s show, is actually quite adult and often valued outside of the kid’s show category. Korra was written for those who grew up with Avatar and because of this, is written in a much darker style. Of course, it can still be enjoyed by children. What made you realize you wanted this show to be for kids as well as adults? Did you and Bryan Konietzko ever consider pitching it as a young adult show?

All of this being said, if somehow our dreams came true and you and Bryan decided to write a third Avatar series, would you go the route of a kid’s show once more or would you transition into something that was for adults and adults only? Possibly a live action series?

Last optional question that I'm really curious about; What are your thoughts on the Last Airbender 2010 movie?

Thank you for doing this. It’s an honor (pun not initially intended) and I can’t wait to see where the future takes you. There are so many other questions I’d love to ask but I’m sure that others will ask them for me! Fingers crossed! I can't wait to read your book!

Edit: Added an optional question that doesn't need to be answered unless your comfortable answering.

It's a possibility but right now she still seems way too happy with Sokka.

Thank you so much. I've been waiting all weekend and throughout today for this AMA. I am unbelievably happy right now, knowing that I got to connect with you, even if it was in this small way.

You really do inspire me sir, and I have no doubt that you will continue to do so as I read the novels that you write! Flameo, hotman... flameo.

Ooh. If you could link me to that podcast, I'd love to listen to it. Thanks!

We were on the verge of greatness! We were this close!
