The Hetalia Fandom
I have no idea if this is appropriate or not, so if mods think it should be deleted I understand. (It didn't seem quite right for the FAQ, though...) If it's kind of iffy, I will gladly post more icons to pay for the crime. >>
So, I am writing my final paper for my anthropology class called Media, Culture, and Society; in it, we're supposed to pick a media technology and talk about how it affected society and culture (or continues to do so). I have chosen LJ, with a focus on how it's affected fan bases and fandoms, Hetalia included.
I would like to know everything you guys know about the evolution of the Hetalia fandom. How did you first hear about the fandom? Where did you go to first? What were the qualities of all the communities you've gone to (for example, ff.net versus LJ )? What WERE the biggest hubs of fans when you first joined, in your point of view? What are the CURRENT hubs of fan activity, in your opinion? What made you pick LJ as your resting place, or one of them? Do you think the LJ fandom has any affect on Hetalia, be it in Japan or the US?
Any and all thoughts, opinions, links, histories, and stories would be loved. <3 <3 If you'd rather comment on my personal LJ, then click on my submission of a Russia/Belarus cosplaying pair icon.
Thank you~!

Would you mind if I quoted you? O: I'd only use your screen name.

'S okay if you want to quote me though as long as you don't live in the Philippines, or somwhere near Taguig, where people continue to chide me for being an otaku... but who cares about some 50-plus classmates anyway anyway, it'd be an honor that someone would actually quote me...
It might be best if you use my real name, if needed, though. My name's Patricia Selina; it's very nice to meet you.
PS: Tomoyo-sparkle icon is accurate.
Darn, I wish my future Economics papers would be this fun... orz
