[Hetalia Day] Chinese-Speaking Region

[xxmapsyrxx.livejournal.com]

Well, well, well.


Circumstances have only permitted our community to join this year's Hetalia Day as a linguistic region instead of the normal "as a country". Circumstances have also only permitted limited cosplay. Circumstances have also only permitted that no one will carry flags. However, it will still be a great day for everyone to gather and share their love for Hetalia.

If you are from the regions of Mainland, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau, please click the following link for how to attend Hetalia Day in your respective region. Circumstances says that things will work differently over in our region. Please make sure you follow the right procedures to attend the event. By doing so, we all uphold all the original community rules and respect the individuals who have worked hard to ensure safety for everyone, both online and offline.

If you are from other parts of the world, have fun clicking the above link. Feel free to click around and/or leave a comment if you can find the "submit" button ^_^ Stay tuned for a report on the event from our region after the 22nd as well as possible other cultural exchange projects from our community.

As you probably have guessed, due to the fact there is just more people in our region, our region is home to many many MANY Hetalia fans. If I remember correctly, last year at a Hetalia-only event, one thousand people showed up within three hours. However, with circumstances, different types of fan activities have taken place instead of activities I have observed from Western communities. By attending Hetalia Day this year, it is our hope that through the event we demonstrate that love can be found in all parts of the world, especially love for peace. Due to the sheer size of our community, we have often secluded ourselves, simply because there is enough people to do everything. There was no reason to go abroad and connect with the rest of the fans on a large scale. 

That is simply not true at all.

After more than a year of somewhat underground observation of many Western fandoms from many individuals in our region, we have decided on proceeding with a "Window-Bridge" project. It is so named because we would like to communicate and connect. We would like to ask you to donate X number of time by participating in character discussions, headcanon discussions and many other exchange projects. The most common format will start with a question posted into both communities, followed by translation of comments posted regarding the topic re-posted into opposite communities. A team of people have been organized and we hope that the first formal project will begin at the end of the year before the Bloodbath.

I apologize for any mistake concerning my English. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Good luck! I would have submitted something in the link above, but all I could find was the registration button. XD

P.S. Don't worry about your English. It's fine.

I like the idea of this project and wish you good luck! I look forward to the character and headcanon discussions.

And don't worry about your English. It's really good! ♥

Dang! I'm sad I'll be missing this! I completely understand the issue with the Flag rules, though... >~<.;; with politics the way it is... things get sticky. really fast. :c

((Offering my services to help in anyway with the project! /am able to read Traditional Chinese fluently if you ever are in need of an extra translator!))

[xxmapsyrxx.livejournal.com]

Do you live in one of the four areas mentioned?

We should keep in touch, I read Traditional Chinese fine, but help is always appreciated.

[xxmapsyrxx.livejournal.com]

There is a way to post without registration, just need to click the right button ^_^

[xxmapsyrxx.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

[xxmapsyrxx.livejournal.com]

Thank you. Hope to see you during the discussion.

[spikaleido.livejournal.com]

Don't worry, your English is excellent.

Thank you for organizing this project! I'm especially looking forward to the headcanon discussions, particularly of the characters for the places you're from.

[xxmapsyrxx.livejournal.com]

I have a quick question, this may due to the fact I don't observe the Anglophone community a lot. How come headcanon discussions are rare over here? Have they been discussed already or something?

[spikaleido.livejournal.com]

I think headcanon discussions just don't get posted to this particular community. A lot of fans discuss headcanon among their own friends (e.g. on Twitter and Tumblr, and personally I had a Google Document I shared with friends). There's also headcanon discussions on other Hetalia communities on LJ.

[xxmapsyrxx.livejournal.com]

I see, occasionally I see posts related to headcanon or associate topics, they tend to get deleted very soon, why is that?

[spikaleido.livejournal.com]

I actually don't check this particular community every day, so I haven't noticed that. I just asked one of the mods and they said they don't delete such topics either. I'm sorry I can't be of more help!

[xxmapsyrxx.livejournal.com]

Thank you for the information.

I'm from Taipei, Taiwan. Am currently studying overseas in Boston, hence me missing said event... ;;

And-- of course! :3 feel free to shoot me a PM whenever, or you can reach me via gmail with the same username!

[xxmapsyrxx.livejournal.com]

Isn't there an event in Boston?

[megumitan.livejournal.com]

In any case, this sounds sooo cool! :'D And as other posters have said here, your English is really good!(And better than my Chinese haha)
