This post doesn’t only have RULES for you to follow, there are also important info for the participants, so it’s of your interest to read it.

If you still have questions after you read it or want more details, just ask or message me @thecodfishhost​.

1. FIRST CONDITION TO PARTICIPATE, you must REBLOG THIS POST (I won’t reblog works of fans that can’t be cooperative);

2. Use the event’ tag #hetaween and @hetaween-hetaliaevent​ the event’ page;

3. Each “event’ day” is respectively 2 days, so that way the participants can have more time to prepare, but also allow the participants to do multiple works with the prompts that are given to choose;

4. All events I host has a “free day”, in that day you can choose the prompt that you want (but related to the theme of the event). Since I choose all the others prompts, the “free day” is like a compensation for that. That way, you have no excuse to not participate just because the others prompts “sucks!”;

5. If by any chance, your work is not being rebloged (in the max. time of 24 hours), make sure to let me know about that. This problem had happened sometimes before, some of them because Tumblr isn’t perfect, but big part of those because of the “privacy terms”. Please, check your “privacy terms” (on “settings”).

6. If you use Headcanons and/or OC, you must tag them properly. And the same goes for more “explicit things” (mature content) and trigger warmings (those are some example of tags: #nswf #explicitcontent #aph oc #hetalia oc #tw blood …);

7. I only tag the characters, the ship (if you use it) and other necessary tags (like the ones on the point 6). So important information or details about your work shouldn’t be on tag. I don’t use tags that are “personal”/individual of the creator and/or opinion, plus you should consider that part of the “viewers” doesn’t looks at the tags, so important notes/details shouldn’t be hidden in the tags;

8. You can use all Hetalia’s characters that you want (2p, mochitalia, chibitalia, nyotalia, nekotalia, oc, …) and any ship (by the power given to me by God, I’m telling you to feel free to ship as you wish);

9. Any kind of work/art is allowed (fanart, fanfiction, edits, cosplay, memes, videos, hand craft, poems, songs, …). Be creative! What is the fun of seeing the same work repeatedly? Be original!;

10. You can submit your work/art if you want (your author’s rights will be preserved anyway);

11. You can make more than one “thing” (work /art) for one day/prompt, if you want;

12. Do only the days that you can/want, there is no obligation in participate in all days;

13. For the writers: There is no language barriers in this event, write the way that you can express yourself better. Also, there is no limit for the number of words, so go wild. And because of that too I’m not going to read them;

14. You can’t be a little bitch to others. You can do that on your free time if you want, but not here, I won’t allow that. ( … no harassment, no disrespectful comments, no f#cking ship wars, no etc…; I think you got the idea) If by any chance this happens, that person will be blocked and won’t be able to participate in this and any other events that I organize/ host;

15. If there is anything that triggers you, please don’t be triggered (I mean, please “chill out” and don’t forget that you can block tags). I will listen to whatever you have to say, so any reclamations that you might have, they should be direct to me first (and not the creator of the work), and that because I don’t want the participants to feel attacked or harassed in any way;

16. I will accept tips, critics and suggestions to make the event more pleasant, but I won’t be accepting demands. I’m hosting/organizing events because I like it and specially to motivate the Hetalia fandom and not for the number of followers. (It means that if you are not satisfied with the way I “do things”; please, leave quietly by the unfollow button);

17. Works that are no participating in the event (but that are related to the main theme of the event) are tagged as #noneventrelated;

18. AND WE ARE HERE FOR FUN, this isn’t a competition or a contest.

____________

I would like to ask one thing (but this isn’t part of the rules, so don’t worry), if it is not too demanding… please, if you like someone’s work say it (comment), I personally think that put only a “heart” on it doesn’t make enough justice for the artist. I mean… as an active fan that contributes for the Hetalia’s fandom… a “heart” means nothing to me, at least reblog it. “Creators” get demotivated and sincerely it doesn’t hurt be nice to others. And specially, if you are a creator/artist you should understand what I mean. Also, another important thing that is not part of the rules and that goes for the participants. Create/write/draw/… for you, not to satisfy anyone else. Do what you want to do and don’t be afraid of critics… you can’t really make everyone happy. The first and only person that must be satisfy/please and happy with what you create is you. AND with that said, I have another message for our writers, don’t get discouraged just because “visual works” (specially fanart) gets more attention that “written works” (specially the extended “written works”). The “attention” that the others gives to your work don’t define his value.
