Lately, I have been dying to get some fanfiction out to some readers. I have always been a fan of SYOT's on fanfiction. I took on two SYOT stories, but with school and writer's block the updates got more and more prolonged. The longer the update the less readers would follow the story. I got caught up in life and when I finally caught a break and decided I wanted to finish everything I started (beginning with my very first SYOT), I started updating to find no readers left. Update after update, I found that all my readers had gone onto more important things in life. But the thing was... I still wanted to write. It was hard writing to no one listening, so the motivation just stopped again. The more I thought about it, the more I wanted to take on another SYOT. So here I am today. I am starting a new chapter of my life (literally) and beginning the 84th Annual Hunger Games. I have great hopes for this story and as I write about the horrific games that unfold in this tale, I plan to finish all of my other ongoing projects as well.

I want to try to do my best on this, so I'll be trying to update as MUCH as I can. Considering I am on summer break and the upcoming school year is just some typical college stuff I should have a lot less stress and a lot more time for writing!

Chapters and Story Information:

There will be 12 chapters on the Reapings, 1 Chapter on the train, 1 on prepping with the stylists, 1 on Opening Ceremonies, 3 chapters on Training, 2 chapters on Interviews, and 2 chapters just before the games. If something juicy happens with the tributes during these chapters there may be more chapters on that event than noted here!

In the Reapings, each character will have their own POV, most of which will just have the concept of before the reapings and during them. Good-byes will not be included unless asked for.

On the train, I'm having a drawing to see who gets their point of view.

A second drawing will be held to see who gets their point of view for prepping with the stylists.

The Opening Ceremonies will be in third person. As if you were the viewers of Panem.

As for the Training Sessions in the Training Center, I'll be doing two more drawings. Plus, a POV from one of the instructors and another third person for Training Scores.

In the Interviews it will be in third person again and will feature the first 12 tributes of the game.

The Pre-Game will be in first person for the last 12 tributes.

Then, third person AGAIN for the games. I'm not sure how many chapters will be included, but in the end I will most likely do a couple POV's of the last standing.

A couple breaks will be included in the arena for: Interviews for the final eight's family and friends and large author notes. Or possibly: Chapters about the ongoing events with the sponsors or gamemakers.

In the end of the games, we will take time to see how families of the lost tributes are doing and how the district moved on without them. And of course, we will take a look at our victor's new life.

If you are unclear about any way the story is set up, feel free to take a look at "The 83rd Annual Hunger Games" to get a glimpse of how this SYOT will unfold.

NOTE: Peeta and Katniss died in the Third Quarter Quell and any personal suspected of rebelling were trialed for disrupting the peace and killed. The Capitol broke their treaty of peace with District 13 and destroyed what was left of their district. There was no rebellion and life without a Mockingjay went on.

Tribute Form Information:

To enter your tribute, my profile will have a form for you to fill out and PM to me. Unlike most SYOT authors, I love interesting characters. In the end, there will probably be some bloodbath tributes to get the story going. But I promise that even those usually find a great place in my SYOT's. I believe every character has a purpose. That's why I suggest not leaving the story if you're tribute becomes just a name in the sky. They will most likely be mentioned by other tributes or affect the story in some shape or form. You can submit 3 tributes max!

For the rest of this story, this chapter will be a page for news or information for the story. The next chapter will discuss the sponsoring system and the third chapter will have the tribute list.

Welcome to the 84th Annual Hunger Games and all the horrors that come with it!

I know I had promised the District 4 Reaping to be posted two weeks ago, but a lot has happened in the last few weeks that have held me up. I planned on finishing the D4 Reaping on Wednesday the 6th as it was the only available day I had in the upcoming weeks, but I had a very emotional and chaotic day, which withheld me from finishing the chapter. The days between then and now were packed full of events including registration for college and my birthday. These plans set back my writing even more so. I have a few days off before I leave for a choir retreat at the end of the month so I will try to pound out as much as I can for the next chapter! I want to personally apologize to anyone upset by the wait, especially those of you who contacted me asking for an update! Thank you for being patient.

I have just reserved the spot for the District 5 female, but I don't expect to get the District 5 reaping done as soon as it is sent in. I just started swim and as it is a new sport to me, I have a lot of incoming stress to come along with it. Please be patient for the next update.

I'm in the process of editing the District 5 reaping, but I have a lot of stuff going on that's prolonging the fine-tuning. I've got job applications and interviews this upcoming week, so bear with me! Thanks for understanding.

Got the job! I'm currently getting used to this new workplace and with college stuff piling on my plate I will need time to finish my editing on D5. I want to apologize for anyone who tried to contact me for the past few weeks. I usually only check my phone for new emails and for the past couple weeks, nothing was really popping up in my mail feed. I assumed it just wasn't very busy up here and didn't really do anything about it since I had other things (college, work, editing) on my mind. Turns out I had some "suspicious activity" on my account and my provider closed my account until I could call them and change my settings. If I did not reach you, that's what had happened.

"Happy hunger games and may the odds be ever in your favor!"
