I like the gore descriptions and the scene where Finnick's death is being replayed. I can see it in my head and it's quite gruesome. Great adjectives c:

How does she know it's Finnick's blood? I'm quite lost on that.
Also, I'm kind of confused about why/how/where Finnick was killed. I assume he was killed because President Snow wanted Annie, but I'm also confused about why he would want her as a wife?

[sounds begin to overwhelm...sword being lifted out of a sheath.] This sentence is a fragment. It's a good idea, but it'd be better if it was completed.

You have an interesting idea – it'd be great to see it expanded.

Whoa. Well that was super duper dramatic. And quite a bit confusing... Is this AU? It feels like it is. I think that would be a good detail to add in the summary or a/n if it is. You wrote very well, you just need a lot more detail. (Except in the bit where the video is playing Finnick's death or something? That could go with a bit less detail and a bit more explanations.) I really like how this started, though it would've been helpful to know what the letter was about.

I know most of your reviews on the story about how confusing this was, so I'm not going to go much into that any more. I like how you kept adding in how twisted Snow was, and Annie is portrayed very well in the first paragraph :)

This fanfic makes me want to give Annie a big hug. It shows how cruel the world of Panem is and how much I don't want to live there. Well done.

Okay, let me wrap my head around this. . .

Annie receives a notice from Snow on custom stationery stained with Finnick's blood. He seeks to make her his wife, just to add a bit of insult to injury. Then Snow shows up in person to reiterate and. . .out of nowhere, a highlight reel of Finnick being tortured and killed starts to play? This is where you lose me a bit. It's bloody and descriptive. . .and yet I still don't know what's happening to him really.

Maybe if the dialogue exchange between them were expanded, a bit of my confusion would be alleviated?

So, uh. . .that final bit of yelling and her locking the door. . . I'm going to assume she plans on meeting up with Finnick? Yes? No? Perhaps?

This was really short. (Does it meet the minimum if we remove the author's notes and the duplicate typing of the prompt. . .?) I'm all for short oneshots, but I think you bit off more than you could chew by attempting the given scenario in a mere 500 words. The writing was good, don't get me wrong, I enjoy your word usage. . .just use more of them! XD

I shall be honest, because what's the use of a dishonest review, hey? I found this very confusing. What was the paper at the start? Why was Finnick killed? What is Annie going to do now? Why was Snow's wife slaughtered? Why does he want to marry Annie? When is this set? You bring up many questions that are left unanswered.

The prompt came through strongly, at the end-perhaps a little too much so. It felt a little forced, like it didn't really meld seamlessly with the story.

However, good descriptions of Finnick's body, though I don't know why he was dead.

Now the spacing seems a bit odd? Is it single spaced? It looks that way.

I think the idea is an interesting one, and I'd like to see you expand this into something maybe 2000 words long or such and answer the questions that your readers must have.

Good luck in the oneshot challenge.

Cheers.

interesting one-shot. nice use of detail.

oh my goodness. i was NOT expecting that. okay, i don't really have much to say about this oneshot, even though it's so well written and suspenseful, but i think i just got blown out of the water...

I just lost the contest. Darn. Great poem Brooke.
