nordipaloozaWelcome to the Nordipalooza Fanwork Fest!
What is Nordipalooza?
Nordipalooza is a prompt-based fest for fanfic and fanart centred around the Nordic Five characters from Hetalia. Fanwork centring on the themes of family, friendship, rivalry, historical, and romantic situations are all equally encouraged!
This year, announcements will be posted on both Dreamwidth and Tumblr. Fanworks will be posted on both Dreamwidth and Archive of Our Own.
Each person who signs up is given a list of four prompts. Each prompt contains two randomly-assigned Nordic characters, one simple theme, and two optional historical time periods to use as extra inspiration.
If you have signed up for this fest before, you're welcome to make fanwork based on prompts you received for previous rounds, provided you send in a signup for this round too.

-You can do fanwork for as many prompts as you wish as long as the minimum requirements are met.
-All ratings for fanwork are welcome!
-This fest welcomes all pairings. If this bothers you, please refrain from participating. Pairing bashing is not permitted in fanworks or in comments to fanworks.
-Signing up is required in order to participate. Please see the signup post for more info.
How it works
-Prompt lists will be sent via email.
-You have until the deadline to produce fanwork based on your prompts and post it to the Dreamwidth community or to the Ao3 collection. The guidelines for posting can be viewed in the Posting Guidelines.
-If you participated in a previous year and still find your prompts from that year inspiring, you can submit fanwork based on that list, as long as you sign up for this year too.
About the prompts
-Assigned prompts are based on the main five Nordic characters: Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Norway, and Iceland. Each prompt will feature two Nordic nations assigned using a randomizer.
-Some prompts may include an "Any character" option, which allows you to write about any nation or historical figure of your choice along with the Nordic character provided.
-Each prompt will include a one-word theme. This theme can be interpreted as narrowly or as broadly as you like.
-Each prompt includes two historical time periods. These time periods are completely optional; they serve only as additional inspiration. Fanworks maybe set in any time period that you desire.
Here is an example of what an assigned prompt list might look like:
1. Norway, Denmark - Rain [Optional: 1500s or 1800s]
2. Denmark, Iceland - Writing letters [Optional: 1600s or 1800s]
3. Iceland, Finland - Coffee [Optional: 1900s or AU]
4. Denmark, Sweden - Borders [Optional: Viking Age or 1600s]
