It's so much easier to give love in the internet~ I swear in real life I'm not capable of even just attempting a hug without freezing up. It makes me feel like a dick sometimes, 'specially when someone is clearly upset.
You know, most of those kids have probably had more experience with relationships than I have (hell, most twelve year olds have too orz). I don't know the first thing about relationships, but I'm just thinking that this kind of stuff is common sense mind you, it does explain Twilight's popularity. I agree with you, though!
It might not just be because of lack of experience though, because even published yaoi is written by adults, right? (of course most of that stuff is just fap-fodder, and isn't meant to be realistic or ground breaking) I think it's the whole not knowing how relationships work maaaaybe also because some people still have this weird fantasy image of how gay people are like. I don't know.
Well, as to whether you'd want to read it or not (or how often), I think that's entering into the fantastic world of ~personal taste~. (The only thing I'm really up for 24/7 is genfic. . . ) I just care mostly about it being some what historically accurate. For instance, I don't like Russia/Lithuania, nor do I have any intention of reading it, but I'd probably be more peeved to see a fic that had Liet following Russia around like a little love-struck puppy than I would a darker one. Um, the fics which might apply are as followed (I'm just listing the ones I can remember off the top of my head here): there's a fic about them meeting and it's showing that Sweden is pretty much taking him over. Then there's that one with bitter!Finland. And there's that recent-ish one with Sweden's diary and though it was set in present-day it acknowledged their past and how they weren't a happy couple. Then there's that one really dark one where Finland is tied to a bed or something. that's a lot more serious and disturbing than what I think it'd be really like and I wouldn't like seeing it very often but I did like it (this might go to show how fed up I am with ~su-san~-esque stories because usually I don't go anywhere near those stories. i'm too vanilla and I like real deal love too much, sigh). That paragraph was a mess. I really need to update my bookmarks.
Reading well written internal conflict is like opening a Christmas present for me, you have no idea. How long is that Union fic of yours gonna be? Like, is it going to be a multi-chaptered epic or just a long one shot or what? I swear I'm never going to get around to posting art because it's so impossible for me to finish :| I don't have the patience to colour or even do over line art to make it clean.
as people act differently with their friends or colleagues than when they are with their lover. I want to high five you for this! kind of off topic, but we are talking about different kinds of interactions so here we go: I would do dirty, dirty things to see nations interacting with their own people more. I'm not talking about just political leaders or national figures, but just regular day to day people. Once I read a fic and it said that the nations didn't interact with humans and it just rubbed me the wrong way.
Hey man, I've seen SRS BZNS INTERNET DISCUSSION about what drabble actually means (it's even more ridiculous than most srs bzns internet discussions). The "real" definition is a story that's exactly 100 words, but people stretch it. It's funny that you think 500 isn't even a drabble when there are people there who will be personally offended that you said that. So, yes, I do think you have a skewed impression of fic-length, Mr. Four-Pages-Is-A-Short-Fic (although four pages I would think is average fic length?)
(hahaha that's what I like to hear! it sure looks that way though. but I will always feel fear when posting a long comment. but really, I have nowhere else to talk about stuff like what I want to see in fic. I have no fandom friends irl and well, as far as hetalia is concerned, 95% of my flist doesn't even like/know what it is. so you're stuck with it )
