Sokka and who?! Attack of the Avatar shipwars!
I can't write fic for Avatar, but damn if I can't invent pairings and make them plausible in three minutes or less.

kay_willow: Okay, crack pairing formation time:
kay_willow: Sokka and Mai.
maladaptive: ....that one pains me a bit
kay_willow: Why?
maladaptive: Just. I can't imagine Sokka not punching her. XD
kay_willow: XD
kay_willow: While that would please me
maladaptive: throttling her while going "aaaaah!" in the way he does.
kay_willow: I posit in my imaginary space that he is such a relentless dork that he might make her laugh.
kay_willow: Which would make her ten times more bearable, if she displayed such a hint of humanity.
maladaptive: .....that would be awesome.
kay_willow: She could deliver the same cute lines that Zuko could ("I'm never happy.") and could beat up anyone other than her who dared make fun of him.
maladaptive: ....how do you do that. XD
maladaptive: how do you make this sound good.
maladaptive: ♥
On a bemused note, I went to a forum just for kicks and found such bashing of Zuko/Katara from not only Aang/Katara fans but also other fans that I felt like it was getting actively unfair treatment -- that I had wondered if this would be a Bleachesque pairing war, where Ichigo/Orihime is often actively derided despite just enjoying their happy corner of the internet, and I would feel morally obliged to be on the side of the nice people who were under attack.
...then I saw a Zuko/Katara fan enter the thread with such unmitigated fail ("If you don't like my pairings, I don't like you as a person!") that I promptly felt better (well, except to feel ashamed for liking her pairings, Zuko/Katara and Toph/Aang). At least it's not undeserved treatment. :D
Frankly, all the shippers are batshit. Learn to share, guys. I like both Zuko/Katara and Aang/Katara, and since all the shippers are batshit crazy, I'll just go on enjoying my happy place.
