Hey guys! Just thought I would come on here and mention that I am not in fact dead or given up on writing, I have just been travelling through Europe and now SEVERELY writing blocked :/ I am trying to work through it. Feel free to send support to me here or on tumblr (mellarks-hotbuns). I will probably need it as I try to break through this freaking brick wall of a block I have. I'm so sorry! Until then, all my stories are on hiatus.

I just thought I would put a little about me for anyone who wanders onto this page.

Hello, I am a female college student majoring in Zoology and Animal Science. I love many books, tv shows, and movies (and people, places, and things!) but have very few I love enough to obsesses about. The most recent is the Hunger Games series which finally gave me a push to write instead of just read. I am a very inexperienced writer, working mostly with lab reports and research papers. This is my first stab at fiction EVER so feedback is really appreciated.

Feel free to PM about anything Hunger Games related!

My profile name comes from another obsession. The television show Veronica Mars. Love to anyone who remembers the reference or just loves the show. Also, obviously the James Bond franchise. You know, Q, his tech guy. Though I know nothing about tech...

That's about all I am going to write about...Remember to review my story! I really appreciate it!

Love to my beta, summersrain! She has been so wonderful especially with lots of writing block recently.

7/4 This is a special shout out to my beta, summersrain! Putting up two chapters in one night was all because of her and that wonderful description of the arena couldn't have been done without her help! So snaps for summersrain! Yay!

My tumblr is mellarks-hotbuns :) follow me for a good time and writing updates.
