As of this moment, this community is open as a normal fanworks community. Here are the rules, some of which are copied from the rules of the first round of the challenge:
General rules
- Every piece of fanwork posted in this community must focus on something particular to a country other than the US. It can be food, music, traditions, history, sports, local ghost stories or what not. It is said the lake nearby is haunted? Go for it! Your favourite restaurant serves a burger you think even Dean would get on a plane for? Awesome. Or just have Castiel emergency land in your local mountains and get lost. Pick whatever you like, as long as it's a unique part of that country.
- It is not strictly necessary to have your work take place outside of the US. However, even if it doesn't, it still has to focus strongly on whatever it is from your chosen place that the characters are dealing with. Mentioning in passing that the weather is bad in China does not meet the requirements of this community.
- You don't need to be from the country your work is presenting. You can have your work focus one more than one country.
- All ratings and genres are welcome.
- You can submit fanfic, fanart, fanvids and any other medium you can think of.
- You're welcome to crosspost older works that fit the requirements of this community.
- RPF is not allowed. All fics have to be based on the show.
- Crossovers are allowed, but the main focus must be on the characters from Supernatural. Having Dean and Sam run into trouble with Torchwood while on a trip to Wales is okay. Have Torchwood hunt a wendigo in the States and randomly bump into the Winchesters for a minute is not okay.
- All stories must be written in English, for obvious reasons.
- This goes without saying, but be nice to each other. Be respectful. No flaming, no bashing, no racist or homophobic comments or any of such bullshit. If you feel offended by anything or see something you find inappropriate, please send me a message so I can check it out.
Posting formalities
- There's no specific template that has to be used for posting here, though you are very welcome to use the template from the challenge. However, what you must do is include the country/countries your work is focused on in the header. Warn for all things that could be triggery for anyone. If you fear a warning will spoil the story, you may white it out or hide it behind a cut, but at least give your readers/viewers the chance to be warned. If you post a fanfic, you also need to include at least a summary.
- Use tags! Tag for your country, the characters, medium and genre. If you need a tag that's not there already, chances are I will notice and add it. If it's not been added after a couple of days, please send me a note.
- If you have a question about a specific country or about how Americans might behave if confronted with [x] etc., ask away. Please use the tag #question for it.
- If you are looking for a beta, especially if you're not sure about your English and are looking for someone who knows what they are getting into, you may also make a post to ask. Use the tag #betas for it. (These posts will be deleted as soon as a beta was found. To make things easier for me, it would be awesome if you could add the word "Found" in your subject line once it applies.)
Anything else? This is the place to tell me!

So it's been decided, then: a clear majority of you has voted to turn this into a normal, themed fanfic community with ocassional challenges.
So starting May 1st, this will be a place where everyone can freely post their stories as long as they concede with the theme of this comm, i.e. stories that take place in, or focus on aspects of countries other than the US. But there will also be challenges every now and then - possibly themed ones, meaning challenges focusing on sports, or food, or historical events etc.. How do you feel about that idea?
Tomorrow, I am going to put up the rules for the open posting, which will be few and simple.
For now, in the spirit of this comm, have a picture of Sam and Dean hunting aboard:
You can blame Mr. Padalecki for this one.

Now the first challenge is over, it's time to decide what to do next. There are several ways this community could go, and I don't want to decide that on my own, since it concerns you, too. So here are the options:
Poll #1835326
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 36
The question goes not only to the members but to everyone interested in this comm.

Without further ado, I present to you the masterlist of posted works!
( And cut! )
For those of you who like statistics: Of the 74 works that have been signed up for, 23 have been delivered. Of the 39 countrys that have been signed up for, 24 have not been represented at all (though one of them was replaced with another). Of the 15 countries that have been represented, the biggest number of works were posted for England and Germany with 3 for each country, followed by France, New Zealand, Mexico and Spain with 2.
There are 8 works of (literal) art, 10 fics, and 5 combined pieces. 1 Stories has additional artwork listed.

That's it! A big Thank you to everyone who participated and congratulations to everyone who made it! Some time in the next few days I'll put up the masterlist of posted works.
And then we'll decide together what to do with this comm now the first challenge is over.
Title: Sam and Dean in Taiwan.
Artist: Rince1wind
Country: Taiwan, ROC
Type: Art
Characters: Sam and Dean Winchester
Rating: G
Spoilers: None
Warnings: None
Summary: Sam and Dean at the Taipei MacDonald's. Thank whatever for those golden arches.
(I hope this kind of artwork is okay. Neither photo (obviously) is one I took. If I knew to whom to attribute them I would. In the meantime, this is just for fun, no profit, etc.) The boys are feeling a little wan and colorless after their long flight.

So I'm working on the "Posting Closed" banner, the masterlist of posted works is nearly finished, and you have about 24 hours left to post your works. In theory. In praxis, I won't be able to close the challenge before getting up in the morning. So basically, you have until about 7 AM (Central European Summer Time) on Monday.
