Defences – The 26th Hunger Games.

Roman Rasts – Gamemaker.

I had to admit that the 25th games were fun. I mean, if opinion polls were anything to go by, voting in tributes was definitely the way to go.

Last years victor was from 6, which, in retrospect, satisfied the outcries of their district. District 6's first Victor, he wasn't all that big, in fact, he was average at everything. I'm assuming that the only reason he was voted in was his association with corrupt gambling issues in the district. He strolled his way to victory in the large forested arena. Everyone else was just in pure shock or disbelief that this was happening to them. Of course there was more than a few insane amongst the lot, but they devoured themselves. I think that last year his victory was mainly due to a solid attitude and years and years of building a thick skin. Almost nothing could tear down his defences.

This year is different. I need interesting tributes. Last year everyone had some sort of reason for being there, they all had faults. What I long for is a random pool of tributes; it makes for so much more fun. There is nothing like a spread of tributes, some sweet like jam, others smooth like butter.

I need strong and weak, calm and crazy, old and young. The more diverse they are the harder it makes it. If they all have different weaknesses and strengths, then well, there is more opportunity for drama to unfold, and in the end, isn't that what The Hunger Games is? A drama?

For the past 12 months the new arena had been in construction. It could probably hold an entire army. If the games weren't on that's what I would be using it for, and they might in the end. That is, provided it's not ruined in the process.

I'll be doing one POV per character: Which one would you like written? - Pre - reaping, Reaping, Goodbyes, Train Rides, Training, Scores, Interviews, Pre-Arena - pick 1/2/3:

Reaction to reaping:

So the form is short but sweet, I think the more well thought out tributes the better. I like tributes with a plan, whether or not that plan is accomplished or not is a different matter. Also, if you want to add anything please do, my victor will probably be a very well thought out tribute that I can really work with. Lastly, please no blind tributes, I mean, they won't win, there is no point. Feel free to submit mulitple if you would like. I'll be more willing to accept multiple if one was a bloodbath :)

This is my first story, and I know that usually puts off people, and I would be put off too. However I'm pretty sure I'll finish this before I head back to Uni, so I'd like to give it a shot.
