8Tracks.com is my new favorite website.
You can easily put together your own fan-mix playlists on it and share it with others! You choose a picture for the cover and choose what to put into the Annotations section too.
Playlists, they're great! I kind of want to start another one soon. Either Death Note or another mix towards another ATLA character. (I know of some songs I know that are Sokka-like!)
I feel sooo accomplished, after finishing putting the ultimate Zuko fan-mix soundtrack together! It's mostly songs, with a few great instrumentals that fit this character so, so well. I inserted 46 tracks (there's just a lot of great, fitting songs), and this is almost 3 hours of music, so it's something to listen to while surfing online for a good long while? XD There's a wide variety of songs I picked that represents different parts to Zuko's personality, his troubles, and his journey.
The following tracks are listed in order.
1. "Agni Kai (Trap Remix)" by Mordecai
2. "Flawed Design" by Stabilo
3. "Hunter" by 30 Seconds to Mars
4. "I'm Still Here" by Goo Goo Dolls
5. "Son of Man" by Phil Collins
6. "Run Boy Run" by Woodkid
7. "Into the Fire (Acoustic Version)" by Thirteen Senses

15. "The Fire Rises" by Hans Zimmer
16. "Who Are You, Really?" by Mikky Ekko
17. "Scab & Plaster" by Marina and the Diamonds
18. "Still Alive" by Lisa Miskovsky
19. "Conqueror" by Estelle
20. "Say This Sooner" by The Almost
21. "The Fire Breathes" by Skillet
22. "Bloodstone" by Amon Tibon (feat. Kronos Quartet)
(Haha, the artist shares the same name as a Legend of Korra character, season 1. That's awesome!)
23. "Fall Away" by The Fray
24. "Good Enough" by Jussie Smollett
25. "Duck and Run" by 3 Doors Down

In my mix, I found songs I haven't even heard before. In listening to them, I was so pleasantly surprised.
"Good Enough" by Jussie Smollett? I don't watch the show this song is from, (Empire, on FOX channel), but I love it! WOW, not only do I like the vocalist in this, but there's definitely some lyrics that happen to be Zuko's feelings towards his father throughout A:TLA. ("I try to show you that I'm strong. Why do I even bother? 'Cause it's the same old damn song. You call yourself a father?" "I just want you to look at me, and see that I can be worth your love. I just want you to look at me, and see that I can be good enough...")
"Run Boy Run" by Woodkid. I think I should hear more songs by this artist. The music arrangement along with this guy's voice? It's great! Have some lyrics that explain why this is a fantastic, fitting song for Zuko;
"Run boy run! The sun will be guiding you
Run boy run! They’re dying to stop you
Run boy run! This race is a prophecy
Run boy run! Break out from society
Tomorrow is another day
And you won’t have to hide away
You’ll be a man, boy!
But for now it’s time to run, it’s time to run!"
"Don't Give Up On Me Now" by Ben Harper. This is a well done folk song. The feels!
Lyrics snippet;
"It's not what we do, it's what we do with what we feel
Takes all you have to stare it down, and whisper "Devil, no deal."
And I don't wanna fight, don't wanna fight my father's war
You can wait your whole life
Not knowing what you're waiting for
And I don't even know myself,
What it would take to know myself
I need to change, I don't know how
Don't give up on me now, don't give up on me now"
Aside from that, I've been writing some fan fic bit by bit. One of them has a quite complicated part, and there are little plot bunnies from different points in time that make me want to write those parts out. I know there will be more than one story here. The first I've already titled as Treading Carefully Between Sides, since one OC of mine will be traveling with Zuko, Iroh, and their crew. Her best friend will be with Aang, Sokka, and Katara. The bond of their friendship will be one of the things that change and make this something AU. Also, there will be these bad, nasty creatures...
I'm almost a quarter way done on my Darius Twin remix. It sounds awesome, and some of the time I've been breezing through this. Still, I know I'm going to be picking the hell out of it until it's as great as it's going to be.
