Is this event going to repeat itself anytime in the future?

It’s very likely! There seemed to be enough enthusiasm for it. I didn’t have the opportunity this year, but I would love to run another round at the end of the year.

The very first edition of the Hetalia Big Bang is officially over, and it was a success!

View all the amazing works that have been made here! Thank you to all those people who dedicated their time to making this challenge a success, with extra thanks to the artists who volunteered to pick up fics left without art.

Many thanks too for everyone who didn’t participate, but has enjoyed seeing all the finished works and liked or reblogged them!

It was great to host this and see the enthusiasm right from the start.

Thank you, and who knows, see you next year?
