Sudden surprise fic (A:tLA)

... hmm, going through my folders I found a complete (if short) A:tLA fic that I wrote sometime last year and never posted. I seem to recall that I thought the idea was too odd and wasn't sure how people would react. And now it's been, as far as I know, thoroughly jossed by Legend of Korra. Oh well.

Title: Walking on Air
Fandom: Avatar - The Last Airbender
Word Count: 1100
Rating/Pairing: G-rated gen
Summary: Futurefic. "I brought you here because you need to know who you are, and where you come from," her grandfather said.

Flist browsing brought me this link today: author rachelmanija talks about an agent asking her and her co-author to change a character's sexuality as a condition of representing their book. (Alternate link on Genreville - in the comments, authors also discuss their experiences in this area, positive and negative.)

I keep trying to write a longer post about it, and running into a brick wall of not really being able to get my jumbled thoughts in order. Upon reflection, I guess the sticking point is that most of what I want to talk about is me (because this is something I've already been thinking about in terms of getting published, since most of my original projects have characters who are fairly diverse in terms of sexuality, race, etc), but it really isn't about me, considering that the very worst possible thing I have to worry about is having a little more trouble selling a book, which is really petty in the grand scheme of things. Therefore, presented mostly without comment.

ETA: Follow-up post.
