New mission! Again! by

No, I'm not that much of a fast writer. I just had a bunch of stuff lying there and waiting for betas.
Click it!
This is Saline's and Priyala's first mission by themselves. The fandom's Kim Possible, which doesn't have any missions so far... or I overlooked some. As such, and due to the lack of an OFU, I present...

The mini-henchmen are just too cute!
I liked the agent reactions to the badfic and each other. They seem to be coming together as a team nicely.
Saline is kind of scary. I liked the way Drakken reacted after riding with her. That was a funny line.
Now I've lost the quote, and with the poor Internet connection I've got going right now, I can't go look it back up, but there is word with a -inging typo in it, in the last quarter of the story, in one of the agents' lines. -

Kim Possible is one of my favorite cartoons (even the main character isn't one of my favorite characters) and all I can say to you is this: Yay and thank you!

With me, it's more or a lack of social skills thing. It's what happens when you have a bad childhood. It took me 3 years to work out getting dodgeballs thrown at your head wasn't normal, haha~ ^^'
My younger brother's autistic too. Aspergers and ADHD, among other things. People are always taking the mick out of him.
...I may have enjoyed reading that WhompingWillow / Draco fic. *shifty eyes*
And when I drink too much energy drink, Harry / Hedwig and Hermione / Dobby. And Ron / Voldemort. With Uke!Voldemort.
This is why I shouldn't drink energy drinks. ^^'
Oh... Clairvoyant? It's probably freakier seeing things, rather than hearing them. But it's really scary to hear something and not know what's making the noise, too. It makes you really paranoid.

Well... She's got a lot of mental issues. They think it's schizophrenia or something. But her parents won't take her to a doctor, so she has to keep being sick.

I see crack as... anything that isn't canonical at all... People would say certain pairs are crack pairings, but IMO, if you can think of a good reason for it, it isn't really crack. XD
Which is why don't really know any Hetalia crack pairings, unless you count Country/HetaOni Steve or Country/Pictonian. *psychotic grin*

The thing is... Hetalia fandom is pretty well split into two groups of fanpeople.
There are the people who like it for the history, the intriguing 'what if's' that come up, the comedy, the relationships between the characters... and then there's the fanbrats who just want to watch men snog. I flatter myself that I fall into the first category. -

The premise of Hetalia is that all the nations of the world are people, and most of them are cute, young, sexuality-ambiguous men. Now, natch, you get a LOT of mansnoggy fanbrats in a continuum like that, and there are a LOT of shipwars.
But the actual show is... less about the romance, more about the comedy. And the history. And just the concept of the nations of the world being people leads to some interesting ideas.
Example: Since every character is very "My country, right or wrong-" by their very nature- what happens when your country is horribly, hideously wrong, and you KNOW it's horribly, hideously wrong, but there's nothing you can do about it?
Example #2: What happens when two countries that have been rivals for centuries have to fight a war as allies... and can't keep one-upping each other, like they're used to?
I'll admit, I ship. But the shipping isn't what got me into Hetalia. -

So if they have wars.... how does that work? Duels?
This could be interesting. -

In the actual show, everything is played for laughs. The few fight scenes that there are are basically China or Hungary hitting people over the head with a frying pan, or lots of running around and dramatic shouting but no one getting hurt.
...Except for the bits with the Revolutionary War, which are tragic, and played as such. In THOSE bits, America and England fight as soldiers in their country's armies. And, because of the way these things work out, of course they wind up facing each other on the battlefield. I think that episode is one of the saddest things you'll ever see, no matter what you think of America and England's relationship.
If you're doing a 'serious' Hetalia fic, that's usually the way to go. Make the nations foot soldiers in their own armies... and remember, the biggest difference between Hetalia goodfic and Hetalia badfic is that goodficcers do their research. [Badficcers, you know, just want to get to the mansnogging. *shudder* I love slash, but it has to be well-written.] -

I think I get it. It can be fun or it can be angsty. Interesting.
I hate slash; probably because my first experience-or experiences, I guess-were really, really, really, really really really *breath* really, really-really bad. -

History has some very... dark places. So balancing the fun and the angst is another thing goodfic writers have to learn to do.
Ah. I see. I had a friend who sort of... acclimatized me to it, slowly, with good!slash. -

I have a history teacher who, I suspect, may delight in telling me all the ways in which the countries I am and am not affiliated with have sinned horrendously against humanity in general about once a week.

At the moment, and in the show, he's portrayed as a nice, calm, quiet individual, who's saner than your average nation. But some of the things he did in history- especially during WWII, when the main storyline of the show's set- are so bad that the fans think he must have a split personality.

Could be fun. *crazyface* Er, that's not /exactly/ what I meant...but you get the idea.
Especially when you get down to the inner conflict of soldiers like the kamikazes or "human bullet" tank-stoppers. -

He kills (and, if the historical title is right, does worse) to the man who, in canon, is his best friend and older brother.
But yes. Yesssss.
And then there's the whole fun dying-nation thing... -

Best friend? *headscratch* That was unexpected.

Oh, yes. They call it the 'Rape of Nanking', in a historical context. Which, this being Hetalia, has rather horrible implications. >_
Black!Japan doesn't officially exist. As in, normal, regular Kiku could have done all of those horrible things, in canon. But it's so out of character for him that most of the fanbase thinks he MUST have a split personality to act that way.
Uh huh. Though you can run the same idea with other countries, too. Rome and Germania would top the list. -

Entire countries (such as North Korea) just... aren't in Hetalia. With good reason.

Hetalia has a few seasons that take place in the 'modern' world... Or any era other than WWII, really.
And anyway, the only Middle Eastern country to play a large part is Turkey, again for obvious reasons. Hetalia = NOT Srs Busns. -

I can't think of any other nation that's dying. I understand not wanting to let such an awesome guy go, but in any fics set in the modern day, he really should be dead.

There IS a rather burgeoning Prussian-Micronation community. So you could make the case that the reason he's still around is that he's become a micronation, like Sealand.
And ehhh... Doing a 'The End of History' thing is fun. As in- there's one world government. The nations are all starting to fade. How do they cope?
I once did a Hetalia/1984 crossover... IT MADE ME FRAKIN' CRY. I swear, almost everyone was dead by the end, and the two nations that WEREN'T dead sacrificed themselves so everyone else could have a shot at freedom. ;~; -

you could make that argument for Prussia still being around, though I don't think many fanfic writers want to do that much research.
One I read this heartbreaking fic about how Prussia became the representative of Holocaust survivors. It was the saddest thing I have ever read ever. -
