President Viya Myst - Capitol
I stand on the diamond incrusted podium, dressing very posh and Capitol-like for the pleasing of the Capitol. The envelope with the twist - that I don't even know - is leaning against the podium, waiting to be picked up and read.
One of my guards is behind me and runs over and says something intelligible over the crowd of Capitol citizens applauding and roaring in excitement, but I assume he's saying, "the camera's are rolling in five seconds, Miss President." I hear the beginning of the anthem play before it slowly dies down so I can hear myself speak.
I clear my throat, and without hesitation, open the envelope I'm given. I open the tiny letter, peeling of the white sticker with the Capitol logo on it so the top flap flies open. I pull the neatly folded piece of paper, put it in front of the microphone, and speak.
"Today we celebrate the 5th Annual Quarter Quell!" I say in my posh, Capitol accent. "Every year, we must renew the Games with a new twist to remind the rebels of their uprising. This very Quarter Quell..."
I glance down to see the twist on the envelope. "to remember every tribute has a chance, all tributes have only one slip of paper in the bowl therefore anyone has an equal chance of getting reaped."
The Capitol applauds and blabbers on about the new twist and are already making bets. Some Districts go on about how great this twist is and some, like 3 and 12, already have a few problems with this new twist.
Thanks for reading this "intro," don't worry though, the other chapters will be longer. This is my first story and SYOT, but I have some experience with writing so I'm not a fresh, new writer. I'll probably post a chapter every 5 days or so.
Here's some info on the Quell:
This is a totally different world from the book world (No Peeta, Katniss, Effie, etc...)
Tributes can be from 12 - 18
Same Districts as books (1 - 12, not 13)
Please keep characters realistic and like the books, but definitely not the same characters, and keep the money expectations real. So don't have a Victor's Village tribute's son live on a cardboard box or a District 12 poor citizen living in a luxurious home with diamond jewelry and a butler.
Volunteers, as usual, are allowed.
Career Districts are still 1, 2, and 4.
Only three tributes allowed per person.
Reservations are allowed (up to 30 hours, if not, reservation will be removed.)
Without further ado, here's the tribute form and PM the tribute with this info:

PM that to me and you'll have a guaranteed spot with your tribute. If you have any question, PM me about it. Remember, always check if tribute is available first. If they're not, I'll have to decline your offer and give you any other available slots for tributes.
Good luck and may the odds be ever in your favor :)
