So I originally opened this account as a repository of updates to my public projects; might as well make use of it now
Haven't decided whether this will be a Friends-Only journal or not, but for the moment I am allowing anonymous replies so please comment to your heart's desire; the support would be extremely encouraging to me
I might change the layout and design of this journal to something more appealing one day, but for the moment I am too occupied with academics to do anything of the sort; it might seem like a simple task to most, but you'll see what I mean below when it comes to simple tasks
To start, I have finally decided to haul my arse back to the fanfiction-writing business after ten years of decaying in academics, and begin by...dropping a fandom bomb on Hetalia, and the Nordics of all characters

Is a crosspost freak
This was supposed to be a quick drabble to ease myself back into fanfiction and writing, but turns into six freaking pages (eight if you count the footnotes), forty freaking footnotes, seven days of research and editing; being a perfectionist really sucks sometimes
That, plus Norway would not shut up in narration and keeps piling historic reference after historic reference; I developed the story's concept over the course of a few days but never intended to actually write it out...This was actually based on one of many novels that I am developing and hope to share with everyone in the coming years Because 'Kitty' is way~cuter than Norway
I was quite surprised at the amount of projects that the fandom has produced for Hetalia, from doujinshi to paper crafts to baked goods; some of which are very popular with the community. I suppose that this is what encouraged me to return, and the unique status of the Hetalia series offers infinite possibilities for official and fan-made works
With that, it is a great honour to be acquainted with everyone and I hope that you will support me in various endeavours for many years to come
And this is still considered a half-baked piece of work to me
