When I started watching AMVs on youtube.
I saw a Zutara one, and it was all I talked about for the next two days. seriously.

I started shipping them the same way... Youtube.

My younger sister was a big Kataanger, and she kept looking up videos of them. And I was standing beside her (not really a huge fan yet) and I remember thinking "What's the appeal to this? These characters are boring, and their relationship would never actually work in real life." Then I saw a battle scene between Zuko and Katara, and told my sister to "Look up this song for just a second!" and I picked out some random song that I knew would fit the Zutara dynamic better, and sure enough the only Avatar video to it was Zutara. I watched it and was hooked.

She's now a Zutara shipper, and we're working on convincing our mom.
=D That's so cool! It's nice that you were able to convert your little sister in the process.

Yeah. Good luck on converting your mom!

Ah I can remember it like it was yesterday... December 1, 2006 actually *que stary eyes*
I was channel surfing in my parents room, when I came across the season 2 finale of avatar. A few days earlier I had heard a few friends of mine talk about Avatar and how great the season finale would be. Naturally, being the anime enthusiast that I was, I had believed this 'avatar' was nothing but a American show trying to pose as an anime and thought nothing of it (back then I was really into anime like NGE (ShinjiXAsuka 4 eva!) and Cowboy Bebop (SpikeXJulia lives on!) so I basically thought all American cartoons sucked). But when I did land on CoD that night, I recalled what my friends had said and figured I'd watch Avatar to see why it was so popular. Let me tell you, I am so happy I did xd ! After seeing Katara gently put her hand on Zuko's scar I was a Zutarian before I knew it! I had the worst timing though, cause after wards I came shouting to my friends saying how great Avatar was and how Zuko and Katara would be so great together... that didn't get such a great response as I hoped... I didn't know it back then but a good 9/10 of my friends were kataangers sweatdrop ... and let me tell ya, the verbal beating they gave me has scared me for as long as I live crying . But I still stick to Zutara and always will! whee 4laugh blaugh

Aww, 9/10? I am so sorry! *huggles*

You came into Avatar about the same way I did. I mean, my best friend said I shouldn't bother watching it, but then I got into a fandom that also had a lot of Avatar Fans...So I started to wonder what the fuss was about. And I noticed it was on during the day during the summer, so I just put it on while I was at the computer, and I actually got attatched to it! As for Zutara, it just...followed. I'd also seen a few Zutara fan arts before I watched, so I was curious about that too....But after a few episodes it just clicked.

I also got my best friend to watch it, and she became addicted to it as well! And promptly after, she signed up for the Zutara camp. It was awesome. ^^

The Blue Spirit was one of my first episodes of Avatar, and I knew from then on that Zuko WOULD be joining the Avatar at some point. And the Storm, too. TBS and TS kind of just won Zuko first place in my favorite character's list. So I had to see how things with him went. Zutara just...followed. I don't even know how, it was just instinctual, or something. lol.

i didn't have anyone tell me not to watch it, but i thought atla would be a lame american psuedo anime too. then i caught the season 1 endings. the next day after i saw it, nicktoons did a marathon and i was hooked. that was last march (2007).

i don't really know when i started getting into zutara. i just kinda thought they were destined for one another. i wasn't even aware of all the crazy shippers and bashers until i joined gaia.

my inclinations about zuko joining the gaang occured when i watched "the chase" and they all bended their respective elements at the same time towards azula.

haha, when i watched CoD (which i watched WAY outta order) i misheard sokka say he was with suki to ty lee. i thought he meant toph, especially with the previous scene having toph hold his arm while flying on appa. so for a VERY long time i thought sokka and toph were dating. haha. and i got confused when i couldn't find the episode that explained it. finally i figured out that i was wrong, when i had watch all episodes to date (in order).

Wow. After the verbal beating, I'm really glad you stayed with us! It's really hard to tell who ships who, and sometimes you just can't tell until it's too late. xD Most people in my school are Kataangers, too. >_>

Aww, it's too bad that so many of your friends are against Zutara. v.v I'm glad you stuck to Zutara despite their opinions, though! =D
