☆ So, Nordipalooza is finished for another year. Master List for this year's fest is over here. We have fewer submissions this year than last year, which is a little surprising considering I gave more time than last year... maybe I should have been more vigilant about sending out deadline reminders. Well, anyway, I'm going to have fun going through the submissions. I don't expect I'll have much trouble getting through all of them within the week.
☆ I've been toying with the idea of putting together a Valiant Hearts FST for a while now, and I've finally decided to go ahead and do it, because I finally have some ideas of what to put on it (though I need more, and it'll take a while to find more). Normally I'm reluctant to put Eurovision music on fanmix playlists, because doing that is such a cliche in Hetalia fandom, but France's entry this year, "N'oubliez Pas" by Lisa Angell, is absolutely perfect for a Valiant Hearts FST, so I'm saying - to hell with it, I'll put it on there. It's a pretty song, anyway. Maybe I should look for more songs in French with a similar theme to go along with it. (Even better, something in Belgian French, if I can find it.) Also considering Lizzy Hoyt's Vimy Ridge, even though the lyrics aren't a 100% match to the situation of the game characters. Part of the game does take place at Vimy Ridge, at least. And... part of me wants to include Iron Maiden's Passchendaele, but it would not be a good fit. Maybe I should save that one for a WWI-themed Hetalia FST instead.
☆ Honestly, part of me wants to replay Valiant Hearts. On the other hand, I don't want to cry buckets of tears, which is what will surely happen if I do. Man, what a sad game. ... I still want to write fic with Anna and Karl, though (their friendship is so awesome). And there's a ton of stuff that I was going to add to the wiki and never got around to. Marie still didn't have her own page, last I checked, and that is terrible. Not to mention I never did finish the timeline. Maybe now that fest stuff is done, I should try... working on that again. Maybe. (Especially if I'm going to request/offer this for Yuletide. I do want to do that. It'd be helpful to have complete information.)
☆ The fest finished just in time, because - work is busy. So busy. I'm drowning in piles of paperwork. I could probably make a fortress with the stacks of 'em. (Well, not quite) So glad that my job is one where I don't have to take it home with me. ....Though it would help if the power would stop cutting out, considering all of my work is electronic. :T
