Thought I'd get a plot thread going~ Iceland has the most in common historically with the Nordics, but has become much more active globally within the last... damn, like five years. Especially since their economy tanked in 2008, making them jump to forge ties with whoever smiles at them on the street. Iceland's application to the European Union is in and negotiations are currently underway, so that's something for any European nation to put their two cents in. A thread about that volcano no one can pronounce (Eyjafjallajökull) that spewed ash everywhere last year and seriously inconvenienced like, everyone would be interesting. I've seen some fanart spin it as Iceland taking up chain-smoking (oh that teenage rebellion). Then there's the loan Iceland took from Russia. And Hong Kong getting a serious craving for Icelandic aphrodisiac sea cucumbers... Glad it's true, otherwise no one would believe it. XD I didn't see a Hong Kong anywhere, but if one joins in the future, we need to RP that.I think it would be hilarious to do a crack RP of World War II's Allied invasion of Iceland. And I'm definitely up for anything else that happened historically with all the Nordic feuding going on through the ages... And then any random crack RP for the hell of it... So yeah. The amazing posts I've been reading on here are a little (read: very) intimidating in their breadth and depth, so I'll give it my best to match that raised bar. /o/

As I said to Sweden on his plotting page, I'm a bit full at the moment, but I'd definitely love to do an RP once a couple of my current threads finish up!
The group thread about the eruption would be loads of fun. I pictured all the Nordics in a closed space together like a small house or a car being all "UGH! Iceland, that's disgusting! Give us some warning the next time you feel your volcanic gases shifting around!" ...That's probably not how you picture it at all. [/shot]
But yeah, I'm down for anything. We have a full set of Nordics, which is crazy, so we'll have to have a group thread at some point. Obviously.

No problem, I'm not going anywhere, so there's no rush. :>
And dude that's sooo funny, Iceland would die of embarrassment and go emo in a corner. XD Should definitely do some kind of group Nordic thread at some point. <333

Denmark would like to point out that it can hardly be the 'coolest plotting' if he's not involved. I tried to explain that it was pun about Iceland but he just didn't get it.
I'm keen for anything. I'm also relatively busy at the moment so anything we start immediately might be a little slow, but I'm still happy to start something now. My brain is also relatively mushed, so I can't think of any topics other than the Occupation stuff. And the volcanic... er... gas thing sounds like great fun. (I'd never quite thought of it that way before XD)
So if there's anything you'd like to do, let me know!

Guys, guys. We could also steal our ideas from the C-box. Where all the Nords just crash Iceland's house for some kind of family reunion or get together. It'd be crack, but it'd still be funny.

I think a lighter crack-y one would be fun to start off with, something that doesn't need a ton of time put into making it historically-accurate. Like from the cbox, party at Iceland's geothermal spa with potluck after. /o/

If we do a group one with all the Nordics [after Norja comes back in August, of course], I'll probably be good to go ahead and join even if I don't close any RPs since the pace would be slower than a one-on-one thread. And nakedwetbrotiems in the hot springs sounds good to me!

I'm also definitely in for a group thread.
And Ice, as I seem to be treading water relatively nicely at the moment, we could start a one-to-one thread about something while we wait for Nor, if you wanted.

Whee group RP~ Eventually~ /o/
Yeah Den that'd be awesome. Any ideas? If you want angst there's lots of material to grab from. |D And a lighter themed one would probably be set in modern times, yeah?
