Are you guys tired of your typical letter fic? Are you bored of OCs answering your questions and want to hear from the canon countries? Are you annoyed by the dozens of updates for tiny chapters that consist of one letter and one response?
Search no further, because I'm here to mix things up a little!
Welcome to Ask Nations, where every update will contain the responses of a specific canonical Hetalia country that I define the update before. This is your chance to ask your favorite countries questions and see all the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth! Unless they have a tendency to lie, of course. Then you just get entertaining nonsense.
Before we get started, you can read up on how this works in the paragraphs that follow. If you'd rather just skip ahead and see who our first country is, it's bolded at the bottom of the page.
GENERAL INFORMATION: The goal of this fanfiction is for you, the humble reviewer, to send the next Nation of the Week a "letter," "questionnaire," or "email" (in the form of a review, of course) containing questions for him or her to answer. All of the reviews the select Nation of the Week will answer will be in one chapter update, so you guys don't have to put up with eight million tiny chapter updates spamming your inbox. At the bottom of each update there will be a notification of who will be the next Nation of the Week for you to send your questions to. It'll never be the same country twice in a row, but if you missed asking questions for one, the chance will almost certainly come about again.
REVIEW PERSONA: You can take upon a number of different personas when you review, if you'd like. Of course you're welcome to review as yourself, but you can take on the role of another canonical country or an outside character,if you want. For instance, you can send questions to the Nation of the Week as a Hetalia stalker fan, a member of the Baltic Trio, Indiana Jones, or whoever else you want. The one thing I ask from you is to, for the love of God, try not to take on the persona of an OC country, city, state, etc., because unless those contain vastly interesting questions or are unbelievably funny, I'm unlikely to have the Nation of the Week answer them.
INFLUENCE WHO'S NEXT: I have an order in mind for the first several chapters of the story, but Hetalia has dozens of canon characters and, as such, I may not get to some of the ones you want to see as quickly as you might like. But here's what you can do to help me determine the upcoming responders. If a specific character gets twelve (12) requests to come soon in the reviews section, they will become the next Nation of the Week the update after they achieve this number. You can request once per update, and yes, you may request multiple characters. You may also request characters who have already answered letters. I figured this way everybody can have a chance at asking their favorite characters questions without necessarily having to wait an eternity for their name to come up.
A LITTLE FOREWARNING: If I end up getting a large number of reviews, I will pick and choose whose reviews the Nation of the Week will answer. This is because I'm a very busy person and I have other things to do (namely schoolwork) that limits the amount I could possibly answer. Think, at most, twelve letters per update. If your review makes me laugh, contains really interesting questions, or has a fascinating persona, I'm more likely to select it. I apologize in advance if I don't pick yours.
Anyway, I'll shut up now and tell you who's first!
Our first victim will be everyone's favorite northern Italian, Feliciano "Veneziano" Vargas. We can't wait to get started!
