Author's Note


This story is a long time in the making – in my head. I've been thinking about writing this for the longest time, about a year now, but due to my perfectionist attitude, delayed massively. This story will not be perfect, but I want it as close as possible to want I envisioned it to be a year ago. It included may things that I wanted and search for in many fanfictions; the tributes to be somewhat friends and have more interaction, especially the Careers and Katniss, multiple pairing with their own interesting storylines, great exploration of minor characters (like the smart boy from District Three and the crippled boy from District 10), set in Panam and have similar, if not the same characteristics as the Panam written in the canon, and most importantly 'in-character' characters (and if characters are out of characters then it is because of a clear and realistic reason). This is also a project for me to improve my writing and explore my ideas, so I hope that my grammar, word choice and my writing style in general will improve as I write.

Important: I am a massive non-canon pairing fan. So, although some canon pairing might be present, I currently have it planned out that MOST (not all) 'end game' pairing will be non-canon. I say not all because I really like Anne and Finnick together, but I am also fascinated with Johanna and Finnick. There will be major love triangles, and maybe even unconventional relationships, just as triads. (Who am I kidding, there is definitely going to be at least one major triad relationship.) So if that is not your cup of tea then I suggest you exit now.

Rating this as M, just to be safe. Although, there will be smut, it will not be aimless and dropped in just because I felt horny when I wrote it. I also am a fan of subtle,well written smut; meaning that everything that happens is not clearly said and there is more focus on feelings, metaphors and reflection, instead of just the physical descriptions. Hope I can deliver on that.
