Hi, guys. If you're wondering what happened, Fanfiction deleted my last story because it "violated" some of the stuff for publishing a story. It wasn't allowed because it "advertised author and reader interaction". Because NO ONE ELSE at ALL does that.

Anyways, I was stupid and I didn't have my story backed up. As such, I have to rewrite it. I decided not to think of it as a bad thing. I have a chance to rewrite some of my chapters. Now, I did manage to get the chapters for reapings 3-7 back. I wish that I had 1 and 2, though, because I really liked those chapters. Anyways, the chapters for those will be mostly the same, although I will edit some of the ones I don't like as much. I'm going to try to post at least twice or three times a week until I've caught up to where I was last. Some of the chapters will look similar to the ones I had before. I still remember most of it and would like to make it as similar as I can to the last one. Anyways, be patient and I'll be as fast as I can in getting them up.

For any new readers here, this used to be a SYOT but is no longer. I try to update every friday or sooner, but I can't always. You can earn sponser points through various activities which I will explain later on. I write from the point of view of one tribute from each District.

Those of you who submitted tributes, I'll still use them, if you don't mind. Now, you should meet my head Gamemaker.

Apollo Arello, Head Gamemaker

My room is silent except for the quiet beeping of the monitors and speakers on the walls. I lean back in my chair and put my polished shoes among enormous stacks of paper on my desk. Paperwork that I should be doing, stacked up all the way from several weeks ago. My hand cramped up a while back. There's just too much of it. Orders, permission forms, requisition forms, employment forms, checks, endless piles of rubbish and paperwork.

The dark wood of my desk has been worn away from the heels of my shoes, but I'm not going to get it polished. President Snow has always been doubtful about how much I've actually gotten done, and he wouldn't be very happy about how much time I've been wasting.

As if in answer to my thoughts, a knock resonates through the room. I hastily put my feet down and grab a pen, then I smooth my hair and call, "Who is it?"

A boy with glowing greenish hair steps through the door before replying. "President Snow wants to know how the purchase forms are coming. He needs them by 3." He looks critically at the piles of paperwork on my desk. Evidentally, Snow's not the only one who knows how unproductive I am.

The boy is looking at me impatiently. He must have said something.

"Sorry, what?"

"Weren't you listening, sir?"

I fake a laugh. "No, I was too distracted by your glowing hair. It's ridiculous. I hope you can put it back to normal."

He flushes, his face clashing horribly with his hair. "It's the latest fashion! Everyone has it. You'd know about it if you ever stepped out of this building."

I stick my finger at him. "Listen, little runt. I was here way before you were, and I'll probably last longer, what with all of the chemicals you young people use these days. Also, I outrank you. I wouldn't suggest being rude. You're talking to the Head Gamemaker."

My fake bravado obviously has no effect on the child. He smirks insolently. "You're not going to be the head Gamemaker much longer if you don't finish all that paperwork."

I grab him by the back of his shirt and push him out the door. "You can tell Snow that I'll have it done by 3. Now leave me alone!"

With him and his glowing hair out of the room, it suddenly feels dim. I snap my fingers and the lamp becomes one setting brighter. I sigh and sit back in the chair again. Pulling out my favorite pen, I shuffle through the piles of paper until I find the ones I need. With a sigh, I put my pen to paper. Three weeks until the Games. I have to get to work.

That's my Head Gamemaker, Apollo Arello. He's very fun to write. Anyways, I'll be using him to explain various facts of the game, like the Arena and mutts. Now, I'm going to do sponsor points next week. The people who submitted tributes for my last SYOT still have their points. For you guys now, you can earn sponsor points the following ways.

You get 20 points for giving a good review with constructive criticism and feedback. You won't get any points for a review without anything useful, like a review that says "Nice chapter :D". I want actual feedback.

You get 30 points for catching a typo, grammatical error, misspelling, mistake, etc.

Now, I think that's just about all you can do to earn sponsor points. I'll post a list of what you can buy with it next chapter. Things are going to be pretty hard to get, maybe 50 points for a loaf of bread at the start, not to mention the prices at the end. I also might keep you from making a purchase, because I have a good deal of the plot figured out.

That's about all for today. I'll see if I can get the next chapter up by tomorrow.
