1/28/18: The Wallpapers are back up and working -- apparently they've been down because of the previous hosting site they were on. They're now all hosted here on DH, which means they'll be available as long as this site is working, but can no longer be hotlinked. If you want to use them on another site, you'll have to upload them to somewhere else. I'll be checking the Fanart page soon for downed links as well, but if ya'll run into any other pages/links that aren't working, please let me know! :)

11/20/17: The APCC contest results are up! Congratulations to top winners DietCheesePlease, Molly, Christine, Jeff, and Mod's Choice winner, Airbender Alliya! Many thanks to everyone who entered and voted in this contest's final year, and much love and appreciation to everyone who participated over the past 13 years. This couldn't have gone on for as long as it did without each and every one of you. :) Stay flamin', Pumpkin Benders!

11/6/17: Voting has begun for the final Avatar Pumpkin Carving Contest! There are eleven lovely entries, and the poll will stay open until Sunday November 19th, so please be sure to vote and share the link! Thank you to everyone who entered!

10/1/17: It's October; must be time for DH's annual Avatar Pumpkin Carving Contest! Except... this will be the final year. I have loved being a part of this contest for the past 13 years and seeing all of the ATLA/LoK carvings that ya'll have done, as well as making prizes for the winners. I wish it could go on forever, but, as participation gets smaller and my free time gets shorter, it seems like it's time to close this chapter.

So! Please celebrate APCC's final year with me! The deadline to enter a carving is Sunday, November 5th (10 PM PST), and if you would like to provide a quality prize for one of the winners (be it fanart, a craft, etc) please email me for more info. Thank you!

(and if anyone's wondering -- no, I'm not taking these sites down. They will stay up for as long as I'm able.)

7/17/2015: Hope you all are having a good summer. :) Got some merchandising news; a complete boxset for all three seasons/"books" for Avatar: The Last Airbender will be released on October 6th. According to TVShowsonDVD.com, it will have 16 discs. The original dvd releases added up to 13 dvds, so it sounds like the exclusive bonus features disc from each individual's season boxset will be included as well. In addition, you can see the illustrations for this complete set at Bryan Konietzko's Tumblr -- they're quite lovely.

In other news, Korra's adventures will continue in comic book form, picking up where the tv show left off and according to Mike DiMartino (who will be writing it) will focus on Korra and Asami's relationship. Not much else is known yet, but you can read more about it and see the key art (drawn by Bryan Konietzko) at IGN. It will be published by Dark Horse and has three volumes planned.

2/20/15: Happy 10th anniversary! On February 21st, 2005, everything changed when Avatar: The Last Airbender first aired on American television. :) And it has been a long, wonderful ride. This site opened seven days later, and I honestly would not have believed it would still be going this many years later. The Avatar universe and fandom is amazing and strong; and whether you've been flying with Appa from the start or joined somewhere along the way, I'm sure this fantastic world will live on for many more years to come. Thank you, for making this show and fandom what it is, and thank you for allowing Distant Horizon to be a part of your journey. Yip Yip!

News-wise, on March 7th there will be an art exhibition tribute to ATLA and Korra, at Gallery Nucleus in Alhambra, California. Featuring production art and tribute art by fans, co-creators Mike and Bryan will be there opening night along with 40 other awesome key artists, and there will be lots of prizes too. The tribute will be until March 22nd, so if you want to attend, you better hurry.

The Blu-Ray/DVD of Legend of Korra: Book 4: Balance will release on March 10th. And according to IGN's reporting for this year's New York Toy Fair, the Aang Memorial Statue will go on sale March 11th, (for $150), as well as an adorable 11-inch Naga plush doll (for $35). Dark Horse is also releasing a poster collection book for ATLA, which releases on August 4th for $22. I'll update the Merchandise page for these and other long-missed entries over the weekend.

Although the television series are over and there are no current plans for any new ones, Old Team Avatar's tales continue through the official graphic novels. The post-season finale adventures for Aang and friends told through the trilogy books The Promise, The Search, and The Rift, will continue this September in the next trilogy by Gene Luen Yang and Gurihiru, titled Smoke and Shadow.

That's it for now. Good work, everybody! Love each other, respect all life, and don't run with your spears. Until next time...
