Author's Note
Hello!
This is my first attempt at Hunger Games fan fiction, or, well...any "formal" fan fiction for that matter. I love writing, I don't do enough of it, and this has been a welcome distraction from real life. Who wants to deal with student loans anyways?
When reading The Hunger Games trilogy, I was kind of disappointed in Finnick Odair's character. I loved the ridiculously angsty background that he had, but hated that he was featured for so little. I found myself contemplating his character; how got to where he did, what motivated him, how Annie crept into his life, etc.
This story came to me in flashes and out-of-order. I don't really have a defined routine when it comes to writing...I just type out whatever inspires me at the time. When I got around to editing and reworking the piece, I realized that I liked the arc of the story the way it came out. That being said, the first couple chapters bounce back and forth between a "present" story line and flashbacks. I imagine that the realization that you're body is being sold is a pretty confusing time, and that's what I want to impart. The time and setting are not labeled in the chapters for this reason, although it's spelled out within the first few paragraphs.
It goes without saying that I certainly do not own The Hunger Games and no infringement of any kind is intended. Rated M to be on the safe side for some quasi-graphic sexual situations, mild drug use, strong alcohol use, and a light dusting of profanity.
Thanks for reading!
