Hello readers.

I started writing fanfiction stories in 2014. However, I have been thinking them up long before then. I started writing stories for The Hunger Games series, but have since broadened my horizons.

I started writing fanfiction stories because I had an idea for a story, but when I looked around I could not find anyone who wrote anything similar to it. So I decided I would fill that up, and thus I began my first stories. Personally, I feel the need to take the road less traveled and write stories that are not often told, or at least to tell common plots with a new twist.

I also have an account on Fictionpress, where I write historical fiction. Currently that account is pretty bare, but I intend to add more as time goes on.

All of the pictures used in my stories come from online, as I can not draw to save my life.

I want to say right away, I NEVER LEAVE GUEST REVIEWS. If someone is is leaving guest-reviews under the name T.J.98, then it is not me. It is an impostor, using my name for his own purposes. Additionally, if you are the person leaving guest reviews under my name, PLEASE STOP! You are not fooling anyone, and you are being very cruel and frankly pathetic.

My Stories

I am proud to say I have written a good amount of stories. Unfortunately I have some stories that I have had to put on hold, but I will be sure to finish them when I can.

Trigger Disclaimer:

I should warn you that many of these stories feature depictions of sensitive subjects. I write about such things because I like to capture the entire human experience -both joyous and painful- but if you feel reading such things will make you uncomfortable or brings up painful memories then it would do you well to avoid reading or to proceed with caution.

My Stories

"Hunger Games" Stories:

HEADCANON TIMELINE - This series encompasses stories which do not outright contradict the canon events of the series.

Cries of The Fallen - This story looks at Gale Hawthorne in his old age and at the end of his life, being prompted by the ghost of a peacekeeper who died in The Nut to repent for the atrocities he committed during the Second Panem Uprising.

THE LYSANDER TIMELINE - This series take place in an AU in which the Capitol ultimately defeated the Second District Uprising.

A Peacekeeper's Duty - This is the first fanfiction story I've ever written. It follows a Peacekeeper named Lysander, cousin and close friend of the deceased Tribute Cato, as works to keep order in Panem as the discontentment in the country reaches a boiling point. It is meant to show how a good person can be manipulated by propaganda and end up supporting an evil regime. Taken on it's own, without the accompanying sequel, it could also be considered part of the Headcanon Timeline.

A Peacekeeper's Nightmare - This is the sequel to "A Peacekeeper's Duty", following Peacekeeper Lysander as he fights against the Uprising in order to protect loyalist civilians from revolutionary excess.

On the Subjugation of Districts - This is a look at Romulus Thread's brief tenure as Head Peacekeeper of District 12, from his perspective and framed as an autobiography written after the fact. It looks at what his motivations might be and why he

THE ABDUCTION TIMELINE - This series takes place in an AU in which Katness and Cato, among several other civilians from around the world, are kidnapped by secret agents of District Thirteen as part of a eugenic breeding program. Another change is that District Thirteen was never ravaged by a plague as it was in canon, and so could be even more dystopian in nature.

A Prisoner In Thirteen - This story features Katness and Cato being kidnapped from their respective homes by covert agents of District Thirteen. Now the two of them are forced to marry and to live together in an Orwellian city, with only themselves and an unlikely ally to rely upon.

Innocent - This story takes place concurrent to "A Prisoner In Thirteen", focusing on one of the consequences of Katniss' abduction. Because she went missing the populace of District Twelve became overwhelmed with paranoia and a desire for someone to blame. The Peacekeepers gave them Gale, falsely accusing him of murdering his friend. Now it falls to Darius to vouch for him, but can he save Gale in time?

The elder of them, Lady Undyne, is ambivalent about marrying a man or a Lannister, but Daven Lannister has a good heart and she might be surprised.

Reviews

I only delete reviews for my story if they are entirely unrelated to the story itself. The reason for this is that I think everyone should be allowed to judge whether or not the commentator is valid. However, I will only respond to reviews left with an actual account (provided that the person leaving the review is not harrassing me or my friends): I can not respond to anonymous reviews.

I do usually respond to reviews by sending Private Messages, of the review gives an actual description of their thoughts. I try to be courteous and to explain my own thoughts, whether the review is positive or negative. I welcome both praise AND criticism, as all feedback is good feedback.

I should say this: if you don't like one of my stories, at least have the courage to post with an actual profile. I can't explain where I'm coming from if I can't PM you back. Needless to say I will not be responding to guest reviews.

As mentioned above, and this is very important, I NEVER LEAVE GUEST REVIEWS. If someone is is leaving guest-reviews under the name T.J.98, then it is not me. It is an impostor, using my name for his own purposes. Additionally, if you are the person leaving guest reviews under my name, PLEASE STOP! You are not fooling anyone, and you are being very cruel in doing this.

You should write fanfiction stories too

Do you like my stories? Do you dislike my stories and think you could do it better? Be my guest. No seriously: writing new stories is a wonderful way to increase creativity and to make others happy. Maybe you have a story nobody else has thought of? Maybe you have a story someone else has thought of but that you think could be done better? In any case, write and read. Do people like your story? If so, Great! If not, don't be discouraged: all that should matter is that you like your story. Even if you don't like your story, it can still make a good learning experience for those hoping to improve their work.

There are some professional authors and businessmen who claim that fanfiction is bad, that it violates copyright, that nobody should use their characters their setting in a way that they disapprove of. While it is tempting to feel possessive of your creations, ultimately such thinking is futile. Copyrights expire sooner or later anyway, so it is impossible for an author to prevent others from playing with their characters indefinitely as said characters will eventually enter the public domain. In fact, the reworking of someone else's works to create something new is a vital part of the creative process and has resulted in countless great works. So please, don't let anyone tell you not to write fanfiction.
