Withdrawing
Choose the last entry of Paperland!!! (Secret NF for 133, informations about the NF in the next posting)
First of all: This will be the last entry from Paperland, not the last entry from me!
I could write a story about a forest fire which spread from
to us and nearly completely destroys Paperland, about an atomic bomb, about an Earthquake who let collapse the high mountains arround Paperland and how it bury the country under all the scree which rolled down on it... but i simply love Paperland too much to do that.
So let's just say: The Paperian delegation lost its verve a bit and for now,
just the INK delegation will stay in NSC. Paper & INK will still be a country together, but INK will join from NSC 134 on (if possible, i think we will have to clear that ^^) solely as a region like in WV and entries will only come from the INK-Part of the country.
And according to this, we made a new national symbol for INK:
The old flag:
The new coat of arms of INK:
The whole (the pentagon) represents the tents of the INKish people, like the same figure in the Paper & INK flag does, the blue and the black represents the river Shwartz, the black represents the main export product (the ink) too, the yellow represents the sun and the orange represents the desert.
Now about the real life reasons for my decision:
I dont have as much time for NSC as i had in the past. That is because of a drastic change at the end of 2015 and as strange as that may seem to some people: For me it was always the most time consuming and (more important) most stressfull part of this contest to find the right entry. Not that i have to few good songs... i always have to many i love!
And i'm pretty bad in making decisions anyway.
I had thoughts of withdrawing since then and especially as Luki from Illumia (who joined this contest together with me in NSC 83) left the contest, the've growed. But in the end: my heart still love the Nation Song Contest, so i decided that i will - instead of withdrawing - simply reduce the range where i can choose a song from drastically. Only other way would have been to always have NF's, to never make decisions by myself... but i already disliked, that i made that so many times in the past (please note: i still appreciate that people took the pressure from decision making from me), that wasn't a real choice for the future.
Paperland may come back to NSC, after i've made it trough all the chances i have and will have in my life... but i dont think that will happen before 2017.
I'm sorry for all who preffered Paperland over INK, but atm its the only solution for me. I hope you will also enjoy some of the INK entries i will send.
