Hi guys, this is my first Hunger Games fanfiction. The first part is an introduction, I just wanted to give you guys a small taste of my writing style, the form is at the bottom. I know a lot of these get a bad rep because some of the submit-your-own-tributes are pretty bad, but I want to make this one good. I will try to update very quickly, but just so you know I'm going on two week-long vacations this summer. One of them is coming up this Friday. Please don't abandon your hopes that I'll update, because I will, I'm just going to be on Vacation! :D
The Capitol, 12:03 am.
Cornelius Nottingham sat on his leather white chair, the large television screen flashing before him. Beyond the television was a large glass window that stretched over the whole entire room; the Capitol and all it's bright flashing lights displayed in front of him. He raised a golden hand, and examined the white leather watch on his wrist. 12:04.
I should be getting to bed, Cornelius thought as he rubbed his tattooed temples, but he just couldn't tear his eyes away from the screen. He was watching repeats of the 45th Hunger Games on the huge television. It was a very dismal Hunger Games in all honesty. They had put the tributes in a huge sandy desert, with no water but a large well underground. Almost all of the tributes had died of thirst or malnutrition before the week was out. It was a boring, dreadful season, not one a Capitol person would re-watch, but Cornelius was going to be the Head Gamemaker for the 46th Hunger Games. He wanted to soak up as much knowledge of what went wrong with all these previous, dreadful Hunger Games so that he didn't make the same mistakes, and end up six feet under, like the previous Head Gamemaker.
Cornelius was a tall man, with golden skin that matched nicely with his slick royal blue hair and the royal blue tattoos that circled his eyes. Unnatural whiskers sprouted from his cheeks. To anyone outside the Capital he looked like a freakish wreck, but in the Capitol he was very in style.He had been a Gamemaker for the 35th Hunger Games, those games turned out to a flying success. In light of that, he had been instated to being the Head Gamemaker for the coming Hunger Games.
"Mistake number one: no natural disasters. Mistake number two: showing mercy to the tributes..." Cornelius repeated to himself groggily as he twirled a whisker with a royal blue claw. "No, showing any mercy to the tributes." On the screen a tribute from District 9 died from thirst.
"I'm done. It's a night," the cat-man sighed, he clapped his clawed hands. A long, thin hole opened in the white ceiling, the TV zoomed upwards into the hole, and disappeared. Cornelius leaned backwards in his chair. He has sent the ideas for the arena to President Snow early last morning, but hadn't gotten the results back. He had thought that his design was simply fabulous but, when it comes to the President, you never know. Suddenly, the palms of his hands became sweaty, and there was a thin line of perspiration on his blue hair line. What if Snow didn't like it? What if he and Jinte got killed? Too tired to move, the terrified Gamemaker let his head roll backwards, and felt himself drifting off.
That night, he dreamt he was chasing something, or running from something, he couldn't quite tell. He was in the dark. Just when he thought he was catching up too whatever he running to, or safe from whatever he was running from, the lights turned on. President Snow's face was everywhere surrounding him, engulfing him, strangling him. The face grew a torso, the torso grew his waist, and the waist grew legs, and President Snow clones were all around him. "Mistake number one: no natural disasters. Mistake two: showing any mercy for the tributes..." After every mistake was listed, a hammer hit wood in the background. It was like a judge sentencing a him to death for a heinous crime. Suddenly, a cold slap brought him bak into reality. Above him was Jinte, her white eyes narrowed in concern.
"Are you okay?" Jinte asked asked. Cornelius and Jinte looked like they could be brother and sister. Jinte was tall, and slender with the same golden skin, and sleek blue hair but Jinte had no whiskers, or sharp cat-like claws. However they weren't brother and sister, Jinte was Cornelius's husband. Cornelius lifted his head, relieved to find out it was a dream, to be in his own room, with his familiar settings.
"Yeah, just a bad dream, I'm fine." Jinte looked down at her husband suspiciously. "I'm fine, really!"
"Yeah, sure," Jinte said, lifting Cornelius off the chair. It was then, looking down at the white linoleum flooring and the puffy pink rug, that Cornelius finally realized that when the Hunger Games rolled around he'd be fighting for his life in the arena as much as a unlucky tribute.
Maybe even more.
Okay people. Before we progress onto the form I want to tell you a few things about sponsorship. If you're getting really bored by now just miss out all the very important information that everybody needs to know and go straight onto the form.
*~* Sponsorship *~*
The sponsors for the 46th Hunger games are... you guys! For every review you get a point. If you want to send a tribute something just PM me. You may sponsor your own tribute, but you may only give them food. I'm thinking of a list of what you can give your sponsor and how many points everything cost, but just hang on until I can think of it.
Okay, that was very fun wasn't it? Now. Onto the form. Just fill it out in a review or PM me and fill it out. I'm hoping I can get a full list by tomorrow so I can start very quickly, but maybe I won't.
