We're happy to announce today that now you can legally buy episodes of Avatar through BitTorrent. Here's a link for the full story: http://www.worldscreen.com/newscurrent.php?filename=bit022607.htm. Basically the episodes will cost $1.99 each (like with iTunes) but you can download them legally through the Peer-to-Peer network.
This is just another way you can now obtain Avatar episodes legally! We do encourage legally downloading/buying episodes in support of the show, and this is a great opportunity if you want to get some of the episodes on your computer and want to support the show as well!
From the Spirit World's second podcast is now live! Check it out at the podcast site! This week AJ couldn't make it so I filled in (Jake). PLEASE listen and send us comments and questions to
. We would like to start a mailbag segment once we start getting emails. Constructive criticism is always welcome. Check out out on iTunes too! There you can subscribe and automatically have episodes downloaded to your computer when they are released! This podcast is over 57 minutes long though! And you'll hear the word "Yeah" a lot so be prepared!
Also, if you haven't noticed yet the Elemental Week site is now up. Please check that out for more on the week and PLEASE ENTER THE CONTESTS! We really need more entries, so please participate! Prizes will be awarded, but are TBD. Thanks and have a good weekend!
EDIT: The second of Jaguarundi's "Book 3 Speculations is now up here! Sorry for the wait!
Dylan0513 here with some clarification on the Elemental Week contests. You can enter any work of yours that is either an icon, original character, fanvid, fanart, or fanfic. You may link to them on websites or attach them as documents to the entry email. They don't have to be new and may be old. Original character is the only one you should probably not link to. Some things to include in an original character would be: name, element can bend, personality, age, nationality, relationships, exc. You can enter fanvids in the categories Shipping, Characters, and Other. You can enter fanfics in the categories action/adventure, drama/tragedy, romance, and other. Original Character, Icon, and fanart will all have a couple winners and several honorable mentions. You may enter up to 3 entries in each catagory. Entires should be mailed to
and must be entered by March 1st. Please include a screen name in your email. Winners will be announced throughout the week. They will be judged by the admins at Dongbu Feng. Thanks for the entries so far and we look froward to more! *Edit* Please do not submit traced drawings to the fanart contest. Thank you.
Today, February 21st, 2007, marks the 2-year anniversary of Avatar's premiere in the US! Since then 40 episodes (costing Nickelodeon over $40 million) have been broadcasted to millions of people in the USA (and other countries are also viewing Avatar on their television screens, though none I know of have ended season 2), dozens and dozens of fansites and forums have been constructed in honor of the show, millions of dollars have been spent by consumers on dozens of Avatar-themed merchandise, a roller coaster has been constructed after the show, and Avatar has been broadcast in over 20 countries worldwide! Also we've had an announcement about a possible trilogy of Avatar live-action films, and the show has gobbled up 3 Annie Awards and two Pulcinella Awards! And it has all led to today when the Avatar article on Wikipedia has become the featured article of the day!
Through all this time, though, we have had tragedy. Last summer, beloved actor Mako, the brilliant voice actor behind Iroh, passed away due to esophageal cancer. To this day we still remember Mako and he will continue to be greatly missed not only by the Avatar universe but also by the real world. We should all take this time to reflect on both the good and bad of Avatar.
Dylan0513 here. The Avatar article on Wikipedia is on the Main Page for a day. It will be up from Tuesday at 8 PM EST to Wednesday 8 PM EST. Check it out!
We have not one, not two, but three important announcements to make today! First off, as picked by you all the fans, today we will reveal the title of season 3's premiere episode! Next we have the first episode of our podcast up. Exciting stuff. Also, we will announce our "Elemental Week." All details are below!
*Drum roll please* As promised, the season 3 premiere title is here! By way of poll the users spoke and told me to just reveal the title this time! So, that's what I'll do. If you want to know the title here it is (highlight): The Awakening. Speculate away my fellow fans!
Secondly, bu Feng podcast titled "From the Spirit World" has recorded its first episode! Visit the official "From the Spirit World" Podcast site for details on the premiere episode of our new podcast. As with anyone's first podcast, we have some things we need to work out. Admin Dylan and fellow Avatar fan AJ are the hosts. You may need to adjust your volume at times, as sometimes it is a bit hard to hear.
And last but not least, Elemental Week! We're happy to introduce Elemental Week, a new week-long celebration of Avatar. It will be held March 5th-9th. Each day will have its own unique name:
Monday, March 5th = Water Day Tuesday, March 6th = Earth Day Wednesday, March 7th = Fire Day Thursday, March 8th = Air Day Friday, March 9th= Avatar Day
Each day will consist of a multi-site Scavenger Hunt where users will be challenged to surf different Avatar fansites for letters and/or clues to figure out a phrase. We'll also have a live trivia each day, and reveal winners to our contests. Speaking of contests:
Monday we'll reveal the winners to the Icon contest Tuesday we'll reveal the winnes to our Original Character contest Wednesday we'll reveal the winners to our Fanvid contest Thursday we'll reveal the winners to our Fanart contest Friday we'll reveal the winners of our Fanfiction contest
There are no guidelines for these submissions, except there will only be 3 allowed per person per category (so only three icons, three fanvids, etc.). There are specific categories for Fanfiction and Fanvids. For Fanfiction: Action/Adventure, Drama/Tragedy, Romance and Other. And for the Fanvids: Shipping, Characters and Other. Other pretty much covers everything else, so the contest is wide open for creativity. But all entiresdo have to be Avatar-related.
All entries can be emailed to
. Prizes will be awarded, but are TBA. All entires for all contests are due on *EDIT*March 1st. Please include your name and a website you'd like to be credited with your entry (if you have one). Thanks and good luck to all!
