Wait, what? (England, America)

[ellamequiere]

Title:  Wait, what?
Characters: England, America
Warnings:  None.  Seriously.
Summary:  Also for chibi_spork!  Even England needs to blow off steam sometimes.
Year: Ambiguously modern

This is, believe it or not, is another take on the same prompt that is responsible for A Business Trip, in case it turned out too dark.  Not sure which one I'll finish--

No, seriously, I snerk EVERY TIME I look at your icon...

Thanks for another review! On America and Europe: Yes. Yes, he did forget (as, in my experience, many Americans have xD. Our image of Europeans tends to be of pacifist wine-snobs, I think.)

America *is* in for a nasty surprise one day, but I wonder if it'll be Europe that surprises him...

I'm glad you liked! It's much, much, much easier to motivate myself to write when I'm writing *for* someone-- thus the kink meme xD-- so if you hadn't, I probably wouldn't have finished them. (That happened to me with that Opium Wars femslash fill, and the PruCan battlefield fill... people stopped loving on me, so I stopped wanting to write them.) I look forward to your punk!nations, whenever you get around to them <3.

I understand the "ashamed to be associated with idiots" business-- I love my country, I really do, but we sure have our moments ><.

Oh man, maybe I should try getting an ff account... I can see that being really reassuring. I'm on a lot of levels kind of making this whole thing up as I go along; like, I'd never written a fanfic in my entire life before this summer, and this whole journal thing just kind of grew out of writing for the kink meme. Oh! Which reminds me. What's up with icons? Like-- if you were to, say, want an icon that's not a jellyfish-- not that I don't love my jellyfish!-- do you have to, make one? Because I'm not particularly inclined in an artistic direction...

Yeah, packing sucks-- I sympathize. And I'm excited to see whatever you come up with!

Thanks for the run-down(s) <3. You can be my fanfic guru girl, ok?

FFN: Next time I'm feeling the secretarial vibe, maybe I'll go do that.

...that means I have to create chapter breaks. Here, I just tend to post stuff when I'm done with it (and on the meme, you can put something new up every couple hundred words or so, to make sure people still love you ; ; ). I guess-- I guess I've read enough fanfic to know how to do that. It's a personal taste thing, right? But yeah, I totally will ask you if the site confuses me; I've never even really read much on it would you have to kill me if you told me what fandoms you were writing for before?

I do not know where to find awesome fanart; I do see a lot of icon posts though, so that I know how to find. Thanks for the etiquette instruction! I actually was pretty confused about what giving credit would mean in this context (it's not like you could fit a URL in an icon image, right? <-- was the thought process

"I am NOT from the other land two hours by car from mine, thank you very much. My accent is clearly different.

(on the serious side, the frequent competition didn't allow for stagnation and was one of the reasons why technology developed here so fast in the modern age

wanna bet how many of them know about ANY medieval kingdom in Spain? xD

(I'm gonna be a bit evil...did any of you know about any of this? ;)

I finally got writers block at age 13 and then didn't write at all except for school projects for four years.Oh man, me too! Except, I didn't write fanfiction, I wrote... poetry. Notebooks and notebooks full. I stopped cold-turkey when I was twelve. Then I met my girlfriend when I was fourteen, and by the time I was sixteen she'd convinced me to start RP'ing with her-- and I did exclusively that until, like, this June. So yeah, go Hetalia

Eheheh, word salad ><. Sorry about that!

I am totally incapable of writing poetry at this point in my life. It embarrasses me. But that's just life, I guess.

I didn't write any fiction in school, so that was easy enough... and of course, all this we're saying doesn't apply to prose.

I speak enough Japanese to navigate mostly image-based websites, no problem xD. (Of course, now that I've said that....) Anyway, good luck with your course!

It can be... Like, I think I wrote a story or two for eighth grade? None for college, because I wasn't in any classes that would have covered that kind of stuff. And I actually never went to high school properly (which explains some of the gaps in my history education). But yeah, it's definitely not a focus in my experience.
