Writing

Premise: I am the type who likes to compile reputable documents before writing anything, unless it's something really quick. I also think stories can be used as a tool to educate (sometimes humor - whether or not things are humorous are for you to decide) others. Lastly, I am not a communist, I seriously just have an obsession with the color red. Also, I really do like to read reviews, especially if they tell me how I can improve!

Want Something Written: I am more than open to requests, however, it would be kind of cool if you could throw some documentation my way if you want anything terribly in depth (assuming you want the canon universe). Be specific about minimum length, genre, characters, time period, etc. However, documentation is never necessary, so don't feel obligated!

If you wanted something AU, then don't worry about documentation (but I'll still take it if you have it) and just give me the premise. I may or may not choose to actually write the fic, but I will more than certainly listen to your idea. There are no stupid ideas, unless they get someone killed in real life... Those are indeed stupid ideas. :)

I'm also not all that skilled at romance writing. It just feels unnatural, but I suppose I can give it a go, if you want. I do find that I'm best at drama, tragedy, horror, and comedy.

About Fic Updates: I tend to periodically go back through my fics, update information, fix typos, etc. and I also tend towards one-shots, but I'm not opposed to working on longer fics if they're requested. Update schedules would vary based on length, content, and my level of free-time/concentration.

In Progress:

- Nothing, in the middle of this challenge: http:///20254.html?thread=217374#t217374

Personal

Gender: Male

Age: 20

Location: Western United States

Orientation: Irrelevant

Undergrad College Major: Russian

Undergrad College Minor: Linguistics

Grad Intent: Masters in both General Linguistics and Russian Studies, maybe Doctorate if I can swing it

Intended Occupation: Historical Slavicist

Languages Known: American English (Northwest accent), German (Hannover dialect, with a verbal tic and weird accent), Russian (Muscovite, early stages of study still, started Fall 2011)

Likes: Things related to Russia (culture, language, history, a fascination which actually predates Hetalia, so shush), the color red, verifiable documentation, cosplay, linguistics, well thought out roleplay, cracky roleplay every now and then, particularly intriguing AUs, reviews and people who help catch typos

Dislikes: Rabid fans of any fandom, those who willingly refuse to learn, Chinas that won't go away (-bad con experience, nothing against China cosplayers in general-), the bad rap fandoms can get because of the idiots who take things too far, rude behavior, disrespect for people and flags

Further Warnings: I'm blunt frequently without meaning to be and I can be accidentally offensive. If I hurt your feelings, I probably didn't mean to. Just let me know in a private conversation. I also try really hard not to take anything personally and I treat other people generally like they shouldn't take things personally either, without thinking about it. I never MEAN to be an ass. If you talk to me about it, you'll probably get a sincere apology. If you don't, well, you probably mostly deserved what was said.

Things I Do Not Want To Hear About Again: Harry Potter, Twilight, Dr. Who, Homestuck/M. S. Paint Adventures, the Occupy Movement, House M.D. after season 5, "America, fuck yeah!", Russian Reversals, organized religion, Stalin

Contact: Either PM me or send me an e-mail, it's at the top and in a few places on my profile, such as below the following line. :) I also have an AIM at: vodkaflowers, so feel free to stop by and say hi!

Lastly, I now have an LJ account that I actually like, feel free to drop by and say "Hallo!" (or any other greeting you find yourselves comfortable with, I'm a linguist and therefore not picky). The name is: Toilinthefields

Roleplay

RP: Open, feel free to ask. E-mail me if interested: workandbleedredATgmailDOTcom

Characters cosplayed: Russia (1939, actual Soviet wool coat, and eventually the classic canon)

Characters played:

-Russia (primary)

-Prussia (rarely)

-Germany (rarely)

-America (rarely)

-Belarus (rarely)

Pairing rules:

I am willing to experiment with most pairings however, I have some ground rules.

- Any orientation is fine with me, however, I will NOT interact with fem!Russia, as clever as she is. For some reason, I just don't like her.

- No RoChu, RoNi, or USUK.

- RusGer is preferred.

- RusPru is loved, but with differentiation given between the Kaliningradskaya Oblast and the DDR as they were politically, culturally, and geographically very different and distinct.

- Also, RusAme is highly restricted for me because I prefer to already be friends with the RPer for that pairing since it can be a very complicated pairing and it's easier to know what one's friend is comfortable with. It's uncomfortable for me otherwise, no offense to anyone. However, if you're after a rivalry, I'm always game. Bring it on!

- I have developed likes lately for Russia/Vietnam and Russia/Romania

Anything else that I did not cover that you want to know? Shoot me a message or an e-mail and I will be sure to get back to you! I may come off as a bit stiff, but I am harmless, I assure you.
