Welcome! This is my second publication to this website (my first was canceled due to a summer-long vacation). I am going to be writing a SYOT, but first, this is a short sample of my writing just so you can decide if it's worth your time to submit a tribute or two.

I blink my eyes a few times at the brightness of the light. My eyes adjust before discovering the sight before me. The grass is covered in supplies and weapons, taunting kids to try to escape with some. The arena is filled with open meadows and oak trees, like the ones around my district. The sun shines brightly and big, puffy clouds float across the sky.

"30." The booming voice says.

I lean forward and look for a supply pack or a weapon to grab. After scanning the supplies before me, I see a small backpack 10, maybe 12 yards in front of me with a sizable knife leaning on it.

"20." I brace myself for a horrible ending. I'll give it my all, but knowing that a 12 year old won't die because of me makes me smile. A camera or two probably zoomed in on me when I smiled; Caesar Flickerman saying that I have a plan formulating or something of the sort.

"5...4...3...2...1." The gong sounds and kids charge off the plates, some leaving the bloodbath, but most running to the supplies.

I sprint to the pack, pushing a girl over that looked my age on the way. I scooped up the pack and grab the knife. I whip around only to dodge a stab to the shoulder from the District 6 boy. I put my arm up, stopping the attack, and swing upward with my other arm, stabbing him in the stomach. His body crumples to the ground, the ground already starting to turn red.

My instinct is to run, but heart tells me to stay and mourn, try to heal him, call for help. Do something at least. But following my instinct benefits me and I run, ignoring the bloodshed and screams happening behind me.

Oh hey! I see you're still here! If you're still interested, please abide to the following rules:

1. 2 tributes only. I know it's small, but I would like to give everyone a chance.

2. No "genetic experiments" or "superpower" tributes. Please just make them plain old humans.

3. I'm sorry if your tribute dies

4. Your tribute may need to be changed a little. But only if very needed. And they would only be changed EXTREMELY MINORLY. But all changes would only be made with your consent.

5. You can reserve 2 tributes.

6. Please submit your tributes through PM, and not reviews.

7. I will only add well descriptive submissions. I will also like them better :P

8. And finally, no OP characters. Everyone has flaws.

I am going to be using a thing called sponsor points. Basically what a sponsor points are, are points anyone can get for R&R (read and review), favoriting and following and answering a special question at the end of all of my chapters (one point for getting it right, 5 for getting it right FIRST). Once you get points, you can "sponsor" your favorite tribute(s). I will post a store on my profile along with the leaderboard of points.

Now onto the form.

Thank you for taking your time to go through this. I know its alot, but I tried to make it as easy as possible. If you want to, giving feedback on my little writing sample is welcome, but please give positive words (not OMG IT SUCKS or WHY DO U EVEN WRITE LIKE WTF).

My writing schedule might be skewed, considering the end of the school year is coming up. I will try for one chapter every week once the reapings and such start because I would like to get quality writing out to you guys, not unedited, unrevised boring stuff. Thanks again and message me any questions you have!
