Hetalia Question
I'm writing a Hetalia fanfic and...
I'm writing an Hetalia fanfic and need help on clarifications, it seems.
I'm already off to chapter two, and not having much problems at all. The only thing I can't really decided are names.
Take this for example: When I write in the paragraphs of each character/country, I first type the country name, like "France"
However, I like others to sometimes say their human name, like "Francis". So I decided that, throughout the passages, once another says their human name, I will refer to that character (thru thought, dialogue, etc) by that name.
But I noticed other fanfic writers just completely use their humans names, or just the countries names, not both. Do you think it's confusing if you read it like this (taken from my, said, fanfic):
---Kallistrate was usually polite to most countries, especially Francis (who truly did not tend any harm, in spite of his provocative hugs and fondles), but not today. For some facetious reason, however, Francis did not falter his smile, “Ahaha, so you see me as a gorgeous man of great beauty I hold? Very flattering, Athanasia!”
Athanasia gave up immediately and, thankfully, could perceive Antonio’s house at the horizon. ---
It went from "Kallistrate" to "Athanasia" (the country to maiden name). When chapters start, it can go either way. Still, I haven't got much feedback on the fanfic so I was hoping anyone out there could help me out -either reassure me that this is fine or suggest a new strategy of writing this story better ^^
Sorry for long question and all answers are greatly appreciated! I'm not trying to advertise my writing but if you are interested to read this fanfic, here's a link- link
Thanks in advance!
