Input appreciated, especially under the "contest plans" header!
30 Day Prompt ChallengeSo, guys,
red-stained-december is hosting a really awesome 30 day prompt challenge this month for Hetalia fanfiction. It's got some tricky rules that limit you to major use of each character only twice and each pairing only once throughout the whole challenge--so it should expand your horizons and challenge you to explore new topics and characters. It's already Day 3, but you can begin any time and pick up previous days as you go along. Check it out at
to get started and see what other people come up with. It'll be a great bonding experience with other Hetalia writers! <3
New FolderWe've added a poetry folder as a catch all for what doesn't fall under prose! Feel free to submit your poetry to this group now. (: Don't worry, it doesn't have to rhyme--unless you just want it to!
Contest PlansIn the next month we'll arrange to have a contest here at
Literate-Hetalia as a sort of kick-off now that we've finally got the group running somewhat smoothly. It will be a one-round contest, and I know for sure that I'll be able to donate a month subby to the first place winner. Of course, prize donations are welcome as well!
Here are the ideas for "themes" that I've come up with so far. Other suggestions or opinions are welcome, of course. (:
First line theme: Those entering can choose from a list of "first lines" to begin their piece with. Any pairings, time period, etc allowed. We might have a pre-contest in which members can suggest intriguing beginning sentences that they'd like to see used in the contest.
4 word prompts: Four interesting words/events/concepts/objects are chosen (or suggested) and the contestant must use at least 3 of them within their story.
Time period: A broad time period is given, and the contestant can write about any event in any country that occurs within that span of years.
AU contest: What it says on the tin. Something that focuses on the characters' more human aspects and personalities, rather than roles as nations.
More ideas to come, hopefully! I'd love to hear what you guys think about these and what other ideas that you might have.
AffiliatesIt's about time that this group built up a good relationship with affiliates through mutual advertisement and collaboration. So, a) feel free to affiliate your group with
Literate-Hetalia and b) feel free to come to our group if you need help with anything at all. We'll see what we can do!
Contest Reference SheetLAST BUT NOT LEAST...
I'm thinking about starting up a list of all the Hetalia related contests that I can find around the community for a handy reference for the members here. It'd be a running list, of course, and our way of helping members find just what they're looking for! If anyone knows of any contests or challenges going on right now, please send us a note with a link where it's being held!
