Never Trust the Ones You Love (OPEN SYOT)

by XxThereAreTwoTypesOfLaborxX

*Open SYOT* It's the 200th Hunger Games, and President Sistine Snow has plans for the tributes: Each chosen tribute must offer up a relative, between the ages of 10 and 30, to join them in the arena. Bonds will be broken, and families will never be the same again.

1. Chapter 1

A/N: HOWDY. I haven't made an SYOT in a while (two years, but who's counting?), so I figured why not? So, here it is. It actually has the same 'twist' as another story I'm writing (A Family That Sticks Together Dies Together) but I thought it'd be cool to write it with other people's characters and a different plot line. Alright.

I walked slowly toward the pristine oak podium in the center of the auditorium, a small wooden box in my hands. I climb up to the podium, setting the box in front of me. I clear my throat and speak in a sharp tone,

"Citizens of Panem, it is time again for another Quarter Quell. So, in honour of the anniversary of this, the 200th Hunger Games, the tributes will be chosen must choose a family member, between the ages of ten and thirty, to join them in the arena. Thank you, and may the odds be ever in your favour." I finish, closing the small box and walking off of the stage, nodding slightly to the crowd of cheering Capitol Citizens. I smile slightly, this'll be great.

A/N: So, there's the 'pitch.' As you noticed, there will be a family member with each tribute, so you can either choose to just submit a tribute, a family member, or a tribute and a family member. Remember that family members do have the possibility of winning as well. Oh, and if you only submit one or the other, your character's surname has a 50/50 shot of being changed, depending on the relation that the tribute and family member have. Also, if I get more of a certain type, I may need to alter their age and change them to either a family member tribute or regular tribute (with your permission). So, I'm looking for 48 tributes. It's a lot, I know. Tribute forms MUST BE BY PRIVATE MESSAGE OR THEY WILL BE IGNORED. Also, if this story doesn't end up getting enough tributes, it will be scrapped, sadly. But I might use your characters in the story mentioned above, as I'm not finished deciding all the tribute yet. Here's the form, there will be another copy of it on my profile:
