Is it bad that I want fanworks posted to the comm?

Your opinion means the world to us, my dear. ♥ We're only asking because Pyrrhic and I don't want to seem like we expect people to be flooding us with fanworks or something. Like, if one of you guys wants to do it, we're psyched and totally flattered, but we would have felt weird opening the comm with the implication (however faint) that we were awaiting your offerings. But I guess we'll just have to see the end results of the poll.

But his convo with New Zealand was so cute. HE GOT HIM A BRIDGE FOR CHRISTMAS! :DDD

I just loved seeing the four cousins together. (Pyrrhic and I figured that was how they were related) They just seem like they'd be a blast to hang out with.

I may have emphasized with England far too much...

Well, England is coming from the same headspace as the readers, in a way. As far as he was concerned, America was a sane, decent kid who just...gets a little excited about things sometimes. We felt that you guys and England would be pretty equally shocked by America's rapid spiral into teh crazy.

You can't help but want him and Russia to come out of all this with some semblance of who they were before things got so unbelievably distorted between them.

Absolutely. But I'm also keeping my fingers crossed for them learning something from all this.

Damn, and seeing sexy, inherently good-hearted, and possibly overly idealistic people go crazy is so heartbreaking, isn't it?

Indeed it is. But, in my opinion, the sexy remains.
