CHALLENGE #009: WALLTALIA

Sorry this is late, I've been busy. Speaking of, a helper mod is needed so please apply! Oh, and you can still participate in challenges as a helper mod. On that note, you can also be a team captain and be a helper mod if you want to. ... Really, I just need help.

How this will work:

Create a wallpaper! Any kind/character/theme. Then post it in the comments.

Example(s) of what it should look like:

Link because of size.
Original.

Obviously it doesn't have to look like that whatsoever, it just needs to be the size of a wallpaper (which also varies). Everyone has a different style!

Start/End:

Start: 9/5
End: 9/12

Rules:

» Do not create sock puppet accounts just to get your team more points, they are easy to spot and we will know. Anyone caught doing this will be banned from doing at least two challenges.
» Look up the general sizes of a desktop wallpaper and use those. Please don't make them too small or too big!
» You're free to post them in the comments without a link, but if it's a NSFW image, I request that you put it in a link and says it's R18 in the subject.
» Along with that, put the character(s)/pairing(s) in the subject as well.
» Each wallpaper is worth fifteen points and you can make up to three.
» Not really a rule, but if you have it, it'd be nice if you could post the original picture of your wallpaper. Just for the people like me who like to save whatever fanart they can. Only if you want to though!
» You can also post these on the Hetalia comm/anywhere else if you like what you make. Maybe advertise the comm a bit haha?

Warning: this will be an image heavy post.

SUBMISSIONS:
TEAM AMERICA: 3
TEAM ASIA: 0
TEAM EUROPE: 0
TEAM NORDIC: 0

If you have an idea for a challenge, please tell me them over here. I'll even give you an incentive! Each idea is worth five points to your team, just put your team name in the head. Thanks!

( and to kill two birds with one stone... )

CHALLENGE #007 IS OFFICIALLY CLOSED

The winners will be announced at the end of this post.

Challenges that are open:

Challenge #008: Nation Tales - Ends on the 25th.

You still have time, but make it fast!

Points:

Team America: 556
Team Nordic: 547
Team Asia: 425
Team Europe: 368

Other updates:

I'm thinking about getting a co-mod to help me out. I've been busy the past few days and haven't been able to update much.

The mod duties I need are: Someone to keep an eye on the comm, answer questions, comment to people's submissions and tell them how many points they got. I will go through the comments and add up the points. Possibly more duties as the need arises. I also want someone who's active in the comm, not people who aren't participating in challenges. I will check. Still want to do it? Great!

Fill this out:

<b>Name:</b> <b>Age:</b> <b>Team:</b> <b>How much free time do you have?:</b> <b>Do you think you can do the things I ask for?:</b> <b>Will you not randomly disappear?:</b>

And post it in the comments. Don't worry, they're screened for your privacy. Once I've decided, I'll PM you.

Now! Onto the winners of Challenge #007!

( Suspenseful cut, etc, etc )

As always, if you have an idea, please suggest in the suggestion box. I appreciate it!

Hey everyone! This is one of the mods here. As you've probably noticed, this comm has been kind of dead. I've tried contacting Bijou to see if she's still interested in it, but I haven't gotten a reply yet.

So I was wondering, if I tried to get it off the ground again, would anyone be interested in it? I guess this is kind of roll call to see who's still around.

If you want me to try to bring this comm back to life, post a comment along with your team name in the subject line, please! If enough people are still interested, I'll get to applications and post up a new challenge.

Alright! Onto the weekly update. Sorry for forgetting to do this last week, I was a bit caught up in things as I've stated before.

On another note, I haven't given out an official shout out to our moderators!
Say hello to sodiscomposing, your_loveyou, and hikikomorism. sodiscomposing is Team Asia's moderator, your_loveyou is Team Nordic's moderator, and hikikomorism is one of the helpful moderators who helps me keep up with the main community. So if you see these guys around, be sure to thank them for their helpful ways! c:

Hey, everyone! I just thought it would be best to give an introduction to all of you. I'm Meriken and I'll be doing what mods do all around here. Just so you don't think I'm some crazy person going around the comm.
