Hetalia: Not like Star Wars.
[info]yuletide is the community for a huge annual fic exchange that works like a Secret Santa. The focus is on obscure fandoms, and for many years the mods have had the final say on what is and is not eligible. While working out some kinks in a brand new automated system, they posted a non-final list of the fandoms nominated that were eligible for this year. Now, there's a whole ton of wank about that, but I'm focusing on a specific complaint. One that dips its toes in the realms of unfunny.

[info]vom_marlowe is very unhappy with Hetalia being on the eligible list. Not just because it's popular, but because "Third, Hetalia is the fandom where a bunch of fans stood in public at a convention this April and sieg heiled Hitler. It made the news.

This is not like having Star Wars accidentally added. The fans sieg heiled Hitler. Yes, I find the addition of Hetalia particularly upsetting."


Nevermind that what members of a fandom have done has no bearing on its Yuletide eligibility.

ETA: A mod has frozen [info]vom_marlowe's thread.

Probably unavoidable with a source that might be described as "Those Wacky Axis".

See, now I wanna Yuletide it just so that someone can request the crossover with The Producers. Or Hogan's Heroes!

I would read a fic with the plot of The Producers (as an au of almost any fandom, really) where the play they put on is obviously Hetalia. Done right, I suspect it could be really funny.

Why do you taunt me with things I can never have. :(
