Hello! So, this is going to be a companion story for my SYOT fanfiction, Campaign. It's going to feature a series of one-shots about the hunger games 76-102, the period where Dawn Angelica, the greatest gamemaker of all time, was in charge. In the future, when people refer to this series of games they will call them the Golden Period, the time when the games were wondrous and full of excitement.

LET THE GAMES BEGIN!

Griffin Aldjoy – Capitol Journalist

I sit on the park bench pondering, I've got a report due and if it's not delivered to the office by the morning the tributes arrive, I'm fired. It can be on anything, just something to keep the Capitol citizens entertained.

I could do it on one of the presidential candidates I guess, Emanuel Selwood is an interesting man, I sure could write a lot about him. The same with Atlas Edenthaw, the volatile advisor of the late President Snow. No, people may consider me biased… That wouldn't do, maybe I could do a brief documentary on each candidate? Hmm… not a bad idea.

"What if I did it about the games?" I question myself aloud. People turn and look at me oddly, it's nothing new, I'm not exactly standard in the Capitol, with my natural fiery red hair and pale skin. I've never understood the Capitol trends, maybe it's because I'm sexy in my natural state?

"Quit talking to yourself," that's Phox, he's writing his own report about Seneca Crane, the fail of a gamemaker who ruined the 75th Quarter Quell. For some reason he decided everyone had to be disabled, what a fool.

THAT'S IT! I could write my report on Dawn Angelica! Not at all politically related, more about her wonderful take on the Hunger Games, about how she managed to stay in office for an impressive 25 years! About how she developed the Hunger games into what we now know and love!

Yes, that's it. I could pull that off in the week or two I have left, an article on each games, focusing on each victor and each twist and each arena! Woah! This is perfect, I won't get fired, I'll get promoted! My report will take the Capitol by storm.

Two weeks later

I stand outside Ptolemy's office. Ptolemy Fischer is one of the gamemakers for this year's Hunger Games. A wretched fool, if you here Proteus talk about him… not that I've ever heard Proteus talk, he'd never give me the pleasure. Proteus Baron, the head gamemaker, put Ptolemy in charge of the screening. It's his job to make sure the connection between the cameras in the arena and the screens around Panem is strong and his job to monitor the advertisement that goes on during the games. I'm here to get my way.

My boss, Kalahn Romer decided to give me the promotion that I have long deserved and he sent me here, to Ptolemy to make sure my book was advertised live during the tribute parade, everyone would be watching then.

My book is titled "A Brief History of the Golden Period," and focuses around Dawn Angelica and the Hunger Games the 76th to the 102nd, which she was head gamemaker for. It outlines the tributes and includes interviews with the victors.

"Next," says Ptolemy, beckoning me inside. He's got an awfully big nose and a bulbous head, makes him look like quite a buffoon. "What is it you wish to show me?"

I know that wasn't the best introduction, sorry. I just wanted to get the idea out there before I started publishing the one-shots. I'd like to thank tracelynn for letting me use some of her formatting.

This is going to be done differently to most collections of victor one-shots. I'm going to take submissions. If you have any ideas for twists in the game, exciting tributes, interesting victors or perfect arenas, make sure you submit them. If you want to submit, there is no form, just include everything I need to know and either PM it to me or stick it in your review!

Oh, and make sure you go read Campaign! ;)

Until Next Time :D
