Comment to be considered! I'm afraid I can be rather picky with who I friend - I do prefer it if I actually know who you are. If we've chatted, or I've seen your name around a lot, I'll add you back!

If, however, you request friending out of the blue, and I have no idea who you are, I'm afraid I'm going to have to turn you down. My apologies, but that's how I roll.

I am a bit of a nerd for webcomics (I'm a bit of a nerd full stop, really). I realised the other day that I followed quite a few of them, and decided, hey, that's something to post about. And so, here are my five favourite webcomics. If you have time on your hands and aren't sure what to do, check 'em out! They're a fun way to while away bored.

( No Rest For the Wicked )

( Friendly )

( Looking for Group )

( Starfighter )

( Powerpuff Girls Doujinshi )

There are times when the world truly makes me despair: when biggots are in power, when inequality is rampant, when human rights are denied or taken away. And there is nothing I can do. I was born by a quirk of fate in a country where you aren't shot for your opinions, where I can have an education, marry whomsoever I like; and there is so little I can do to help those who weren't.

But we can do what we can.

Please, everyone, head here and spread the word.

People should not be afraid of their governments: governments should be afraid of their people.

EDIT: Also, signing this would be awesome.

First Hetalia fic! Hopefully the first of many, as I have promised myself to stop writing stories in my head and actually write them down. My thanks to buddha_loves_me for her fabulous job as beta!

Title: Outshining Every Star
Author: ode_to_a
Character(s) or Pairing(s): England, colonial!USA, historical cameos
Rating: PG
Warnings: England swears. A lot. Also warnings for politically incorrect history. Please remember that just because the character says it does not mean I think so.
Summary: England now has a new colony – only problem is, he isn't quite sure what to do with it. The colony doesn't seem to mind, though: he's quite certain that what he wants is England's affection and companionship.
( We call this place the New World, or the Americas. As calling you New is rather silly, you could be America. )
