Tiger's Hunt

[Human G.I]

Does anyone keep up with this fanfic? I know it has a rather large following.

This fanfic along with its precursor were the only pieces that have been able to hold my interest.

I find myself highly anticipating the updates and I was wondering if there was anyone on these forums that keep up with it too. Its truely an amazing piece of literature

sorry, didnt realize I didnt even provide a link to the story....come on?..anyone?

[MarkD]

I think this story is cool. I can guess in the next chapter Kato might celebrate his marriage to Savannah with friends and vise versa, and the party gets really out of control. :)

The first story did make me wonder if the RDA did all that to Jake as part of some conspiracy. Get a Marine as an Avatar instead of the brother who was a scientist. It wouldn't surprise me.

[Aihwa]

Meh, it was suggested to me awhile back, tried it. Meh.


Tbh, I felt it had a lot of lemon simply for the sake of lemon.

[alexajaye]

I actually read the story it's a sequel to "Between Worlds" and even though the writer is a really good writer style wise, I probably wouldn't have made the first one as long as it was, and I've lost interest in this second one "Tiger's Hunt." Again. It's becoming a little too long, and it's taking too long to draw the plot of the story out.

But that's just my opinion.

[Human G.I]

I agree, both stories area little long and when you only get one chapter at a time its even worse

the author has cut back on the lemon scenes but early on there was alot of lemons for the sake of lemons.

The wedding is going to be quite a climax/transition into a climax...

[Sanjwale]

oh yeah! thanks for that site. i was looking for that kind of scripts from avatar. now i have something to do when i'm bored!

thnx :nsmile:

Between Worlds and Tiger's Hunt belong surely to the very best Avatar fanfics.
Oh, well, I like the lemons, if they are well done... :-)
I agree, I think too, that there will be something happen at the wedding...maybe an attack of the RDA agents.But even more interesting would be the testimony of Grace. I think she has something in mind.

[MarkD]

I wonder what will happen with Karyu and Baxter. It's clear both like each other.

I'm curious on what is up with Selfridge. He's talking to someone, RDA perhaps or someone in high office. And he's part of some greater plot yet to be seen.

[avatar_Tingal]

If Karyu and Baxter should come together, they would be an amazing couple. But Tanhi is going to make trouble then...
Parker is talking to Stone, the RDA man on earth. But Parker's loyalty is not really sure. Maybe he will go against thr RDA. And Archer seems to be one of the good guys but after the talk she had with Parker in the bar I have my doubts about her.

[Human G.I]

I think that the RDA agents are indeed going to show up at the wedding and attempt to raise some hell.

In all honesty i think archer is going to turn out to be one the RDA's side with parker torn and eventually siding with hells gate, the scene they had at the bar may have given alot away...

Totally agree. The wedding, when all of Sully's family is gathered, is too much of a good opportunity to be missed by the RDA agents . I think, they may try to get some hostages or to kill someone, eg his brother.
And yes, I think too that Archer is on the RDA's side, even though she might have some pricks of conscience as she clarified in the talk with Parker. During the testimony of Max and Trudy she tried to make Jake appear of unsound mind (which could mean for Jake lots of years in custody) instead emphasizing the question of his nationalty as she had discussed with West. .

[MarkD]

Maybe Archer is on Hell's Gate's side, and playing along for reasons yet to be seen. Parker, who knows. He's hated the na'vi ever since. So he could well be hatching a new scheme to get revenge for what Jake did years ago. As many fanfics keep pointing out, RDA won't give up Pandora without a fight or so easily.

He is also suffering from alot of mental stress. That could also explain his present behavior. Maybe he's becoming really paranoid afterall. Recall West had him confined after that outburst.

[avatar_Tingal]

Hm, I don't know...Archer doesn't seem to have connections to Hell's Gate. But she could gain a lot from a deal with the RDA. Remember how bitter she was when she mentioned her own people in her talk with Mo'at? The RDA could give the Cherokee money or some fertile land and Archer seems (by her attitude) to be some kind of leader of her people. And after all, the RDA isn't really interested to kill Jake - they just want to have him out of the way. And I think that's the reason for the ridiculous attacks in EUNEC's prison - just to prove that he is indeed of unsound mind , out of control and even dangerous - exactly that what Archer indicated during the testimony. And btw, this would be another good reason for The RDA to attack during the wedding - Jake would freak out completely if another one of his family would be killed...
Parker just knows what is going to happen when the Na'vi figure out the game of the RDA. He saw this already and he is afraid...

you put everything i was thinking so beautifully into text before i could even get to write it lol......i totally agree with you.

Im worried that one of the young couples may get caught in a crossfire or something of the sort...the author has dropped bombs like that before..

[avatar_Tingal]

I'm afraid that if someone would be killed during the wedding, it would be Savanna and poor Kato would be staying alone for the rest of his life. Xenobia even indicated this at the beginning of Tiger's Hunt. Do you remember the talk Tom had with Kato in chapter 1? Well, I hope, it won't come to that. I like Sav so much, her character would have such a big potential.
Other possibility. Tanhi dies by saving her mate's life. There are indications for that too, but otherwise, I think Karyau isn't still ready for the burden of an Olo'eyctan.

[Human G.I]

god, i get that sinking feeling about Savannah too, I'm afraid.

I just re-read the talk that tom and kato have and its not TOO terribly foreshadowing about sav's fate, however for some reason I'm worried that she might not be with us much longer, I know xenobia hates killing off her characters however she's done it before and she basically HAS to do it again for the sake of the story.

however i wouldnt be shocked ethier if it was tahni who ends up giving her life but she will only be doing it to save another...this may push karyu into a role shes is indeed not ready for

Everything cant be peaceful for too long...otherwise it wouldnt be exciting

[avatar_Tingal]

Yes, it would be very drastic to let Sav die at her wedding. I can already hear the protests of the reviewers.
And Jake would freak out for sure, knowing his son and his foster daughter had been killed. After all, Sav has been his foster daughter from time to time , when her parents brought her to the Omatikaya. I've got the impression that Sav's life was always endangered. Maybe Xenobia wanted to let Sav already have been killed by the slinger and she hesitated in the last moment.
But hopefully we are completely wrong and there's nothing happening with the wedding at all and the RDA attacks at another time or - even more exiting - Sav has her wasp with her during the wedding and kills the RDA people, or the Sully clan manages to capture one of the attackers and find out the real plans of the RDA. Sav can be really badass after all- the scene when she beat off that bigger avatar girl was really awesome. And after all Xenobia is a master in pulling the chains of her readers.
Anyway, I hope, it won't be too long now until the next chapter.

[Human G.I]

absolutley

its getting hard to talk about it so much now, the update is long over due and makes me worry that xenobia is fighting with herself and her decision to kill someone so close to the readers hearts.

[avatar_Tingal]

She seems to need regularly more than 2 weeks for updates now, probably she simply hasn't got so much time than before.There isn't really any connection between the time lag and the content of the chapters. The update for chapter 22 even took more that 3 weeks...
I reread the author's note of the last chapter. She wrote that in the next chapter other characters will appear in a rather big way. I'm quite sure, Xenobia wouldn't announce the dropping of her next bomb that way - at least I hope so.

[avatar_Tingal]

What are you thinking of chapter 24?
Doesn't look very good for Jake, isn't it?

[Shkkf]

Firstly,

I am very much suprised but glad to know there is a group of people also talking about this story. Especially since I have been dieing to discus and talk with others about it.

Being one of the persons that has read "Between Worlds" and "Tiger's Hunt" thus far, the writer Xenobia has time and time again proven how an impact a story can have on people. She writes becuase she likes doing so, yet her storyline, characters and all attached feel alive and realistic.

I can agree with several people here that there had been alot of Lemon/Smut/Graphic sex in certain chapters, but outside this the story itself is breathtaking if not something one could see being a real sequel to the actuall movie.

I personally like also having longer chapters. But indeed it takes some time to create these. From a personal note, Xenobia needs around a week with atleast several free hours to type all the dialogue and settings. The story itself is in large lines known, except for some details.
The real reason for slow updates are that her real life is recently rather demanding, aswell as the fact that Fanfiction since recent is being annoying towards writers uploading there work. And as such Xenobia does want to have an almost perfect chapter before posting.


On the story and the latest chapter 24, I was taken away at how the plot is now revolving. As alot of characters are now showing a neutral zone in terms to where there loyalty lies. Especially for General West, Archer & Parker things are very sketchy at best. The best known "bad guy" is Stone who really is the main villain if I may it in simple terms.
Plus it would be a bit normal that if humans are presented with extinction on there own world they would do anything (even if it is genocide of another race) to preserve themselves.

The rest of the chapter show alot of character development with the baby underway. (I think Tsu'tey may be a bit sad if it turns out to be a boy :p) But we can rest assured that the baby will be in a loving family.

The wedding for Savannah & Kato will I think be postphoned untill after things have settled down a little.
Savannah also had the bad luck (well that is I think a bit debatable on who you are) with encountering Tsu'tey naked in the bathroom. Humor that is old yet still remains priceless.

Plus then we have these nice weird dreams for Baxter & Karyu who both are now very confused at what is happening.


Jake sadly will need to stay very quiet and still and alert. As either West doesn't know anything, Archer is a bad guy, or even something out of my 100 theories. I have no clue currently. But Xenobia said "You'll be suprised" so I can't wait.
And a very strange vibe of seeing Baxter throwing hamburgers at the RDA pops up when reading that.

[avatar_Tingal]

Hi shkkf, great to meet you here in our little fanclub. :-)
Yeah, Xenobia is an really awesome writer. And of course she has an life beyond fanfiction. So the delay is understandable. What I can't understand is that fanfiction isn't able to keep their site in good repair so that authors can upload their storys without problems.
But lets go tothe story: Chap.24 was - to say the least - a surprise. As I said in my review, I found it most interesting what Parker said in the beginning. Ther might be only one chance for the Na'vi and Hell's Gate to win this war: To care for that not only the RDA but The UN too won't get anymore unobtainium.It might ruin humanity but I think their situation is hopeless anyway.
Jake will survive - or won't he? I'm really not sure about this. I think, even when he stays still in the court room, the RDA killers will go after him afterwards. My guess is that he might be released and West brings him immedeatly to Hell's Gate...at least I hope so.
I'm completely unsure about Archer.Like I said before, she could gain a lot by betraying Jake. But her contact with Mo'at was quite a surprise.
About Savanna: well, I didn't thought the little incident with Tsu'tey would have such an effect on her. She is mated and she is used to see Kato naked...But her behaviour might be an indication that she has to become more of an adult now. It's partly a fault from her parents who kept her quite childlike for a long time. And even with the wedding they seemingly don't like to accept, that her daughter is grown up now and that they must let her go.

[MarkD]

I'm curious to see the cross cultured wedding between Kato and Sav. I just hope Kato is careful when friends decide to bring him to his first bachelor party. Things could get out of hand with that. lol.

Stone as the one bad guy was creepy. The one really uncomfortable with him was Jake for obvious reasons. Stone really liked Jake. Eh, no, that is a going to give anyone the creeps.

[avatar_Tingal]

I think too that the wedding will be postponed for a while. The situation is too serious and tense now. But hopefully Jake survives and will join the wedding - that would be lots of fun with Jake's sense of humour. And a bachelor party for Kato with Dustin, Andrew and Baxter would surely end in a perfect chaos. :-)
Stone is an absolute bastard. He doesn't like Jake he's lusting for him! *shudders* That's the only reason for he wanted Jake to stay alive. But now it seems RDA priorities have changed. Maybe Sanders with her hopeless crush for Jake is the third Angel in this chapter. Hm, we will see...
Again to Parker: I found the mention of "Between Worlds" in his scene great. It wasn't only a reference to the prequel, but pictured in a great way that Parker didn't make his decision yet.

[Human G.I]

Shkkf-
Welcome brother! its good to see that you found your way over here, ive always enjoyed reading your reviews through out both between worlds and tigers hunt.
Hopefully you take a look around the forums and enjoy

About the story

Is jake going to make it out alive????? who knows at this point however i think that parker's phone call to west may show that he is siding with jake, or perhaps just justice, after all.
Kind of odd how west was no where to be found when jake was about to go to trail, hopefully hes not face down in pandorian soil without an exopack...
The baby is coming!

The baby is going to be a joy for tsutey and grace but i think were going to see just how much having a child drains a person and i think that tsutey in particular is going to worn out the most with his caring nature and his willingness to go to great lengths to please others

yes, the wedding will most likely be postponed but maybe the whole gang, including jake will be present for it after all.

Karyu and bax are hillarious and the dreams are really quite peculiar but its about time they finally talked about it...xenobia did an excellent job with karyus part, she handled it just like i thought she would lol....hopefully we wont be kept waiting TOO long, but i really dont mind waiting for quality like this

[MarkD]

New chapter up. Heh, you'll be a bit shocked at what Archer does. :)

[avatar_Tingal]

Unbelievable thrilling, huh? I literally gasped when Archer and the guards did lead Jake to this room, intending to finish him off!:nconfused:
But then things turned out completely different...
And:nlol: look at Parker! He doesn't want to be a weasel anymore. Way to go!!

[Human G.I]

This chapter was great, I knew something just like this was going to happen and I'm glad it turned out the way it did.

I had a feeling that the whole conversation they had at the bar with the mention of "redemption" foreshadowed quite a bit it and it did indeed!

[Shkkf]

It was a very nice chapter, and more will be explained in the next chapter...

The chapter was full of story driven moments as well as alot of twists which I like. Xenobia told us we would have a suprise and she did suprise us alot. Especially near the end.
And at an amazing rate did she deliver the chapter within a weeks time no less.

I am also interested in finding out who follows Tom and why. As well as Dustin his own avatar and alot of other smaller things will happen which I can't wait to finally read about.

[MarkD]

new chapter is up and we do learn those answers. Parker, is he faking all this to get something out of it or has he really changed. Nobody trusts him. Hell Trudy decked him on sight. IMO I'd prefer Neytiri slug the guy. He will have a broken jaw,but he deserves it. :)

Next chapter will be amusing as looks like something of a big hangover will happen.

[Human G.I]

the next chapter should be called "Pandoran Hangover" hahaha

that was an amazing chapter and im really loving the romance between baxter and karyu which is saying something because i dont usually go for the romance.

[MarkD]

Definitely. :)

Karyu and Kato are my favorite characters. Those two can just look at someone and scare that person. Recall what they did to Phelps in Between Worlds. "Two years. That's how long he has to live." and they kept their word on that.

[Shkkf]

Well to respond to some of the above quotes:

"It's a well-known, logical fact that a night of Excessive Drinking and Bad Decisions is sure to be followed up by a morning of Great Regret and Confusion. Combined with a hangover, such mornings are generally full of regret. Many of the participants that celebrated Jake's acquittal and return home began to experience this sort of morning as the sun rose. Others remained passed out, sleeping through their hangovers—to the envy of others."


Kato & Karyu are indeed superb characters. As are all the characters basically.

I prefer how Xenobia portraits them they hyave there flaws yet one tends to love them all. And each one of them is very very different bringing even more life to the entire story.
Guilty to the fact that at many times I contemplate what may happen and also seek out possibilities that may occur.

Now it is sad that Xenobia cannot put everything in "Tiger's Hunt" for the simple reason that the story would else drag too long. She told me that it is a bit of a shame as she wants to tell the entire story of Kato, Baxter, Karyu, Tsu'tey, Grace, Savannah... So we can only hope that after this is over and she has more time we will see some extra seperate (albeit smaller) story's.

I could say pages full on these items but I think nobody is interested in that :p

[avatar_Tingal]

I think, she should close this story as soon as the contemporary problem with the RDA is solved and then start with a part 3, which should include the further history of the young couples, as well as the future development of the relations between Pandora and Earth.

[Shkkf]

Xenobia has hinted that this may be the case in the sorts of short story's for other characters...

But I would not get one hopes up too much. It is better to wait and see as she also does other stories outside the Avatar community. Nonetheless her stories rival that of the best on all type of Fanfiction for Avatar. And it makes me wonder if she will type new stories after Avatar 2 & 3 have come out.

On the actuall story however, it seems that Baxter and Karyu are getting more closely and I think she will finally loosen up alot more in the next chapter for Baxter. Not only cause of having said everything out loud, but also becuase of her personality. Alot has not yet been told of those two that DOES and will make sense to be told.

Both Baxter & Karyu have the connection also with Phelps, alas nothing serious has been told yet about this. Baxter has shown certain signs of being a little unstable at times (Nova incident and Phelps). And I take it that this will be in the story once Karyu and he are accepting one another more.

We also still have unasnwered questions around the project that Tom is working on. As well as Archer & Parker there small story. I do know that these two play a lesser role then most but I think that they will still have a significant part to play both of them.

So much has yet to be told and spoken off and so few items have been turned over that I atleast expect to see another 10-20 chapters before the story ends. Easily making it (and almost surpassing in words already) "Between Worlds". And this for a project Xenobia herself said she wanted to keep "small" I wonder what she would have made if it was big.
Well one can't deny the fact that like many of us, she as well has fallen in love with her characters. And that it is therefor that we may be glad to see so much of the world she created.

[Human G.I]

The new chapter is up....

We see alot more karyu/baxter development.Xenobia did an amazing job and nailed how Karyu handles waking up in baxter's bed so perfectly to her character.
the chaprter is most deffinetly a preset for bigger things to come. There are many RDA agents on pandora and now it seems that Jake has dropped in priority to the RDA and now Tom is the one they have their eye on.

Tom's project is going to kick up alot of dust for sure and the wrong people already know about it. If the project is completled quickly, Hell's gate will most likely be able to shut down whatever rouge group is hiding in the flux vortex.

back to karyu and baxter (it's wierd, ive never been so intrigued by a fanfic relationship so much, haha) kayu finally told savanna what is going on and what is truely hold karyu back is the pressure that is on her to find a mate suitable for her mother and her clan elders.

Savanna and Tani seem to be developing toghter as well. Perhaps savanna will have a talk with her about her daughter and why she has been acting so odd...

Another great chapter as always.

[MarkD]

New chapter was posted yesterday. Kato and Sav got married, and of course the conspirators tried to stop it,but The Sully family outsmarted them. Wrong wedding when they made their move and Howell and the other avatars got involved.

I like the part when Trudy decided to give a guy a knuckle sandwich when he wouldn't answer her questions. Hmm, since the guy tried to kill Tom, lets have Tanhi give these humans her opinion. :) They won't talk to Trudy or the other MPs after being caught? Let's see what a furious na'vi does.

[Human G.I]

new chapter

the plot is going to start working hard very soon and its exciting

as for karyu...i just hope she doesent come home to find that the council has picked a mate out for her...ill give more thoughts later

[MarkD]

New chapter posted. Things just get more interesting in the new chapter. RDA is up to something, well what fragmented bits of them remain, and Selfridge has a surprise.

[Human G.I]

theres a new chapter, it seems like another grand battle is upon us. many of our beloved characters may be traveling into war with each other...very exciting

as for karyu and baxter...i think karyu might do something to try and get rid of baxter like give him all his possessions back...just sayin!!!

[MarkD]

I think Karyu and Baxter will be stuck together no matter what. It's very obvious those two will be a couple in time.

I think something similar to the movie Inglorious Basterds will happen in the fight. I can see a version of the character Hugo Stiglitz, a total psycho, but one of the good guys. Here is a vid someone posted of the character I'm talking about http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REDwfnI2s4s Imagine someone like that getting rid of the RDA. :)

[electrosphere11]

I love this fanfic! Been following it for almost a year now.

[Human G.I]

good to see someone else found our thread.....hugo sitglitz in an avatar body...thats a potent mix!

[MarkD]

Stiglitz in an avatar would be awesome. :)

"Now you can go back to Earth and live a free life without anyone knowing who you are. But we're gonna give ya somethin' you can't take off."

[electrosphere11]

carve an RDA emblem in his forehead

[Druless]

Tiger's Hunt, even though still incomplete, is my favorite fic out there right now, putting Second Skin in second. Sure, I've got like 6 others favorited, but this one sticks out the most. I don't hardly at all mind the long chapters as I am actually a very focused reader and won't stop till I finish a chapter. If I don't, than I'll obsess about it for the rest of the day. :P I still haven't read "Between Worlds" so I guess while I"m waiting for updates I can read that. The one thing that really stood out in this story though was the lemon scenes, but I'm not complaining one bit. I'm very much anticipating the next chapter.

[electrosphere11]

Between Worlds was fairly good as well. I think this one is an improvement over it but its still worth reading. Thats what got me hooked on TH. The only thing about this fic that I would change is the time between updates :P

[Human G.I]

between worlds and tiger;s hunt are the two best fan fics i've ever read and the story keeps me very attached to the charecters

druless, im just like you, if i dont finish a chapter its literally all ill think about till im back to reading it, it gives me something to look forward too
...we should be seeing an update soon

[electrosphere11]

I've never not read a whole chapter in one sitting. its impossible to stop :P
btw <3 Karyu.

[MarkD]

I wonder who the new villain will be. We've already seen a fair amount of them.

[Druless]

Hopefully. (barely containing my eagerness)While waiting for her next update, I've already read so far of what's been written of Avatar 2: Colonies, Vendetta,Brave New Day, and Ultimatum to pass the time (all of these are still incomplete). It's getting really hard to find other stories to read, and I've kinda hit a wall in writing one of mine.

[electrosphere11]

Hope this updates soon. Can't help but check FF.net daily :P

[MarkD]

New chapter posted. :)

[electrosphere11]

Just read it. I hope the next one comes up soon or i'm gonna go crazy DX

[Druless]

Just read it, too. Btw, this has been bugging me a bit. I just finished reading Between Worlds. I really loved it. It went by faster than Tiger's Hunt's chapters did. But is the Stone that was eye-raping Jake in Between Worlds the same one that was giving Selfridge that deal in Tiger's Hunt?

[Human G.I]

Just read it, too. Btw, this has been bugging me a bit. I just finished reading Between Worlds. I really loved it. It went by faster than Tiger's Hunt's chapters did. But is the Stone that was eye-raping Jake in Between Worlds the same one that was giving Selfridge that deal in Tiger's Hunt?

yeah, thats him

[electrosphere11]

Yeah, most of the chapters exceed 15K+ words so it is quite a bit. I'm used to reading that much now though I'd like it if they were slightly shorter at the cost of smaller intervals between updates. Kinda sucks having to wait 3 weeks or more >.<

[electrosphere11]

New Chapter is up. Found myself wayy to excited to see that lol.

[MarkD]

This will be cool to see what the new chapter brings. That was amusing seeing Trudy tell the snot nosed young Na'vi leader off.

[MarkD]

Well Fanfiction.net got hit by a virus as I can't get into the site to see if there is anything new.

[electrosphere11]

Strange, I was on a day or two ago without a problem. Didn't see an update though. Its usually a few weeks per chapter.

[MarkD]

Yesterday the site was ok, and then again today it did it again. Someone should tell them to please remove the annoying ads from their site. Everyone complains about it to begin with.

On the story, I hope a new chapter is soon.

[Human G.I]

come on xenobia, the suspense is killing me!!

[electrosphere11]

Finally updated. I'm a little sad as it seems this story will be coming to a close soon. Good things can't last forever though.

[Druless]

Read it. LOve it. I want it to continue forever, but alas, every story has its end I guess. I will cherish the final chapters to come.

[may'at]

i absolutely love this fanfiction! it has to be one of my favourite avatar fanfics :nsmile: Xenobia really has talent :nsmile:

[Valley Dweller]

Another fan of Between Worlds and Tiger's hunt here. I found Between Worlds when Xenobia was 4 or 5 chapters into it and have been hooked ever since! Looks like it might be a while before we see more of Tigers hunt - looks like Xenobia has gone back to writing her Final Fantasy fan fictions. Maybe it is time to go back and read from the beginning of Between worlds again..

[electrosphere11]

Man, I miss this story. Seems like forever since anything new has come of it.

[Druless]

Yes, I all miss it. But, like Xenobia said, her story were incredibly long and complex. I'm not surprised she hasn't updated in many months. I wish her well on the other stories. Hey, got some good news: I just finished that beast of a story, No one gets left behind. The ending had me nearly choking in emotions, but then the epilogue eased that pain. However, I told Skrtz (probably mispelled) in a pm about a dream I had that night about his story, about how all of Rick's human friends come back, and he thinks it's a message from Eywa and I should definately write it. But, I'm afraid I won't do it justice. My writings have gotten better since I put Rise of Pxeyne on hiatus, but still...this is a story I don't want to sully, but I guess I'm the only one who can actually write it since it's in my head.

[MarkD]

The author told me that she put it on hold for a while until inspiration kicks in. It is a long story and you do eventually run out of ideas to keep the story going. Not to worry something will kick in I hope soon.

[electrosphere11]

Its been so long I barely remember what was going on in the story where things left off.

[Wind12]

I have never read fan-fics before, I found this one a few weeks back and I have read all 35 chapters... def a well thought out story, hope that someday it will get finished.

[electrosphere11]

Indeed. Did you read its precursor as well?

[Wind12]

Not yet, I kind of just decided to start in on this one, now that I have finished it( up to its last point) I probably will check out the precursor. I swear I don't think I have been into reading a story so much since I was in grade school.

[electrosphere11]

I agree. It was a great fanfic. I first found Between Worlds when it was halfway done and pretty much had the story finished in a week, lol. Hopefully Xen has the time to go back to TH and start writing again.

[Wind12]

Yea, it would be ashame for it to not get finished. yea I will check out the first story, as I'm sure it will go into more detail about why "Tom" is still alive and on Pandora among other things. I thought it was interesting how it seemed the author was having Selfridge "possibly" redeeming himself to some degree anyway.

[Wind12]

Ive just today started to read Between Worlds, already hooked.

[Adelante]

Xenobia is the best writer in the world.

[Wind12]

^ From what I have read I'd have to say I'm a fan. Up to chapter 20 now (between worlds)

[Adelante]

I read two stories Xenobi already a few times and each time is great:an-rotfl:

[electrosphere11]

I've actually started reading BW again. Going at a slower pace so there will hopefully be new developments with TH by the time I am done.

Xenobia says in her profile she might move Tiger's Hunt to another site because of the damn purge garbage FF.net has a problem with.

"Due to censorship, I am removing my fanfiction from this site except for my "Avatar" fanfiction (which I will not be updating on here even when I do get back around to writing it). Those who wish to read my stories can still find them at the following locations. You may have to copy and paste these addresses into your browser, if this site is still picky about links."

Adult Fanfiction.net will have the continuation of this story.

[electrosphere11]

I read this as well. Tiger's Hunt will no longer be updated on Fanfiction.net once she starts writing it again. I've already checked AFF.net but there has been no updates as of yet.

[Wind12]

Thanks for the update on that, I read that too, but havent got around to checking out that site, good to know I can still focus on BW and not worry that there are new chapters in TH that I havent seen yet.

[Druless]

Man, FF should not even dare to delete Xenobia's BW and TH. Those stories, though filled with lemons like a crispy creme doughnut,, they're just about perfect. They're too great. There's only one other avatar story that comes close to it, and that's No one gets left behind.

[electrosphere11]

Xenoba's fanfics and Endeavours of Art/ The Enemy of my Enemy are my favorite Avatar fanfics. Ever.

[Wind12]

Thanks for sharing those, when I finish, BW they will be something to consider. :nsmile:

[Wind12]

Just finished BW tonight, awesome read.

[Adelante]

TH is really great, though too little lemon (Jake and Neytiri):an-wink:

[electrosphere11]

Just finished BW tonight, awesome read.

You beat me!

[Wind12]

Xenoba's fanfics and Endeavours of Art/ The Enemy of my Enemy are my favorite Avatar fanfics. Ever.

Do you have links to those Fan fics, I think I want to try them. Irayo. :nsmile:

[electrosphere11]

If you search for the Author "Alex Checnkov" on FF.net you should find it under his works.

[Wind12]

^ Irayo! I will look it up sometime;)

[electrosphere11]

I've gone back to reading TH again recently. Went through 12 chapters in the past week. I'm starting to notice things I completely missed out on the first time through since there was such a gap between each chapter released.

[Wind12]

That's interesting, yea I guess I never though about it since by the time I found it, it had already been completed to the point where it is now. I still find myself thinking about "chapter 6" alot, helps to add depth to the story but still a shame that had to happen to Tommy.

[electrosphere11]

It is, indeed.
Bax and Karyu are still my favorite pair. They compliment each other perfectly haha

[Wind12]

Kayru is a pistol, no doubt.

[xoffenderx]

Kayru is a pistol, no doubt.

Man, i finished Tigers Hunt a while ago, but it hasnt been updated on FF.net or AdultFF.net for ages, seemingly. I dont even know whether its being written anymore. Chapter 35 "Tigers Hunt" was the last one that I read and it had "-to be continued" at the end. The last time it was updated was the 29th of the 9th 2011. Nearly a year ago.

[electrosphere11]

Yup. Seems to be on hold indefinitely. I hope she can come back to it soon, though.

[Wind12]

^ agreed. Yea the longer it goes without being updated, the less the chances are that it will be finished, but maybe we will get lucky... permanent cliff hangers...:/

[xoffenderx]

^ Its a shame that stuff like this happens. I wish i acutally knew the person and could talk to them about it. It would be nice to actually know what was happening. Being left untouched for a year pretty much lets you know its dead, and its a shame, to leave such a awesome story and its characters just lost there. I'm reading Between Worlds again and going to go through Tigers Hunt again, eventually.

Going by Xenobias bio page on FF.net, it looks like it wont be updated on FF.net anymore, but it hasnt even been updated to its latest chapter on any of the other site the writer offers on their page. :'(

EDIT: oh snap, on the link below one of the stories was updated on 3rd august, its a FF7 story, but atleast its updated.

Just managed to get a reply from Xenobia:

I'll eventually get back around to finishing "Tiger's hunt", but I really needed to take a break from that fandom and work on my original fiction for a while. As I've said before, my Avatar fanfiction is a lot more complicated than any other fanficiton I've ever written, and I started experiencing migraines over it. When I feel I can get back to it without stressing over it, I will.

[crimsonclover]

Good to know she hasn't lost interest in it at least? Well, kind of lost interest. But I could understand
I had been waiting for that story to be done since FOREVER.

[xoffenderx]

Yeah i know it wants to be finished but i know how she feels. I used to write fanfiction for avatar and Bleach, admittedly, not very good, but it still sucked when i just stopped. I dont know why, but nothing seemed good enough and i was constantly getting my stuff wrong, rewriting and then it not being good enough. It's maddening. Sometimes a break is needed, but i digress, the Avatar Fan Fiction community seemed to wain and then drop off. I'd get a steady stream of 300-400 people readings stuff, then 1 review.

[crimsonclover]

To be honest, it makes me confused. I feel like Avatar had about a 5 bajillion person fan base and after 2010 it dwindled down to, well, about way less than that. Ha.

But I agree. It sucks because so many people started writing the fics, then they kind of just abandoned them and there are some really great writers out there who started great Avatar fics and then they probably lost interest and just stopped. I will never lose interest, so it's sad to see people come and go.

I would have thought this would have become such a stellar and large fanbase by now. I am guessing when the second one comes out there will be the same deal, but maybe people will stay on it this time around because it's more of a series. Kind of like HP. You get to see the characters evolve more, etc etc.

[electrosphere11]

Yeah, I had a couple of fics I used to read that haven't seen any changes for over a year. If all else fails. wait for 2015 to come around and people will start reviving the fanbase.
Its hard to believe that we're only a month away from it being a year since it was last updated.

[Wind12]

^ agreed, I'm glad the author hasn't dropped it for good, it is something I would never be able to do that is for sure, I can't imagine all the hard work it is to keep it all together if it ends up getting finished someday, I won't mind the wait at all, It is a really good story.

[crimsonclover]

Not to mention the fans that read the avatar fanfics are OCD about Pandora and the Na'vi and how it works. Very critical. Especially with people's OCs

[Wind12]

I guess patience is a virtue...

[xoffenderx]

Yeah i dont understand people who are uber critical about peoples work and their own creations etc. Don't get me wrong, if something is spelt wrong (the Na'vi way) i'd point it out and give tips on how to make the story read better but thats about it.

I think people ge obsessive about about canon and demand everything is perfect. Either that or they're just trolling.

Personally I do like it when a writer makes an effort to accurate with canon but I don't mind it if they change things for the story. Also with OC's I do like them when they're one well as I view them as a good why to develop writing skills.

[Wind12]

I admit I do know much about the fan-fic world as it were, but I am glad I found TH, and BW they were very fun and entertaining.

[electrosphere11]

Well, on chapter 30 of my re-read. I was hoping there would be new chapters out by the time I finished but it doesn't look like we will be seeing anything soon.

[Wind12]

^ Well maybe in the future... :/

[xoffenderx]

Calm, they will come, eventually.

[Wind12]

^ I would rather wait a long time and have the writer come around to it when they feel comfortable, as you will get a much better story from a writer who is writing it and enjoying the act, rather than a writer that is just trying to finish something to "please" an audience. I will patiently wait. :)

[electrosphere11]

Truth. I also know from experience, however, that the longer the status quo the harder it is to get back into things again. Its hard to keep motivated and maintain focus after a long time of working on other things.

[Wind12]

^ yea I see where you are coming from, but maybe something will come along( who knows maybe as the sequels get closer more stuff will happen in the Avatar universe, or at least Avatar "chatter" will pick up again and that might boost something;))

[xoffenderx]

Ugh i just read across the chapter where Tommy is murdered and i dont think i've actually felt so angry/unsettled at reading something before. That was extremely wiered.

[Wind12]

^ that was a tough chapter, "chapter 6 will stay with you".

[electrosphere11]

Finally finished the story for a second time. Now the wait begins.

[Wind12]

I will wait abit and go over TH again and then do my waiting;)

[xoffenderx]

I will wait abit and go over TH again and then do my waiting;)

Im attempting to bury my head in Andy McNab books and am seriously considering trying to get any avatar/na'vi related books, in e-book format though this doesn't seem possible. All the avatar/na'vi quest books seem to be paperbacks.

[Valley Dweller]

Well, I think its time to start reading Between Worlds and Tiger's Hunt again. 4th and 3nd time respectively

[Adelante]

I'll start reading in the autumn, because now I do not have time:an-smile:

[Wind12]

I checked on the FF site and it sounds like the author feels like they have been harrassed about it:/,that is a real shame because acting like that kills any chance of the story ever being continued. I don't know why some people feel like they need to terrorize someone over something like this.

[Adelante]

I just read chapter 17:an-wink: I love the end of this chapter:an-tongue.:
