President Alma Coin stood before the people of Panem as a hushed silence fell over them. Everyone had been anticipating this… the "big announcement" had caused a lot of excitement and worry.

"People of Panem," Coin began, "the Districts have gone a total of 75 years enduring punishment from the Capitol in the inhumane form of sending our children to fight to the death. The remaining Victors and I have discussed things over, and we have decided that to punish the Capitol, there will be one final Hunger Games - with the Capitol's children.

"The Capitol has been divided up into 12 sectors where a male and female will be Reaped from. The Reaping will take place in a month."

As Alma Coin stepped off the stage, people began frantically whispering to one another about this news. Some were over the moon, thirsty for revenge, while others were commenting on the poor children.

As Alma Coin made her way through the crowd to reach her car, she was surrounded by people, most congratulating her on the idea. A few were less happy.

One Capitolian woman threw herself in front of President Coin and began begging her not to take her child. The woman was immediately yanked back by a bodyguard.

President Coin reached her limousine and stepped inside, sitting in the back. She was joined there by Johanna Mason and Enobaria Golding, two of the Victors who felt most passionately about the Capitol Hunger Games.

They drove off, almost knocking some citizens down in the process.

As the car sped away, the Panemians were left wondering: was this even better than Snow's reign?

So this is an idea I'm using from Galaxy842. Obviously, the Capitol Hunger Games have been done before, but I'm also using Galaxy's sectors and stuff. Don't worry, I have permission :)

This will be more of a side project to my SYOT series, which is being given top priority. I'll probably update this every other week, while Flames will be updated weekly. I thought this was a cool idea and I wanted to try it out.

My form is below, but also on my profile. I won't be doing a Google Form this time, mostly because it's harder to keep track of submissions and if your tribute isn't accepted, you can re-submit them or something. And I know that the form seems really intense with all of my extra notes, but I just want to make sure everything's clear.

I changed the rule to first-come-first-serve. It was too hard getting submissions in, before. I have the current tribute list on my profile. Unfortunately, I was only able to accept one tribute per submitter, so I had to choose between some.

Rules:

1. Guest and reviewed submissions ARE allowed, but less likely to be accepted. I'm kind of worried that a guest will just disappear after submitting, but if you're a guest who has reviewed on my other stories, you'll get the same amount of consideration as someone with an account (sorry if that was confusing). Also, I'd prefer submissions through PMs, so if you're able to, please PM me. If not, reviews are fine.

2. Title the subject of your PM "S[section number][gender letter]; [name], [age]". Example: "S1M; John Doe, 16". I know it seems a little strict, but it just makes things easier. No problem if you forget, though.

3. No ridiculous tributes. Since this is the Capitol, they can definitely be more extravagant, so my main issues would be genetic impossibilities, overpowered tributes, and very strong resemblances from the original book series. If I get a tribute like this, they will not be accepted. Don't be afraid to make them unique, though.

4. Faceclaims are required. I didn't think I'd need to specify this, but with Rapids, a lot of people opted out. I need faceclaims for the blog. They should be age appropriate, which would mean someone aged from 12 - 30. No middle-aged actors, please. However, you are allowed to request a younger version of an older actor, as long as you are sure there are enough photos of them. I'd also prefer lesser-known actors/actresses or models.

5. Don't be afraid to make a younger tribute. Younger tributes help a story along, even if they're less likely to win.

6. Same is with Volunteers. SYOT authors often complain about a surplus of Volunteers, but I think that as long as the tribute has a valid reason, they're okay.

7. Please review if your tribute is accepted. I understand that things can get busy and not everyone has the time to review, but make sure you at least check in with me every now and again so I know you're reading. Any tribute whose submitter isn't reviewing will be killed off at the first possibility.

8. This isn't really a rule, but remember that this is outside my Flames/Rapids universe. This follows the events of the books, had Katniss not executed Coin (I hope everyone has finished the series, because otherwise I just spoiled something). Most of the Victors are dead from the Victors' Purge, excluding those alive at the end of the book series.

9. I don't want any tributes with relationships to a character created by Suzanne Collins. No Snow's granddaughter or Effie's cousin, or whatever. I think that will get messy and complicated, and I want you guys to create original tributes.

10. Make them interesting, but believable. I'd like some tributes to be normal, but they should all have unique aspects.

11. I won't have a sponsoring system this time. However, I will kill off tributes based on how often you review. The sponsoring system is currently too messy and I'm really struggling to keep track of points and gifts.

12. Please fill out the form completely. Don't leave any sections blank.

13. I'm only accepting one tribute per submitter. I want to make sure everyone has a chance to submit.

14. Reservations last three days.

15. Have fun submitting!

By the way, information on the Sectors is below. Credit goes to Galaxy842 for the sectors.

Appearance: Include height, weight, hair, eyes, skin tone, and body type at a minimum.

Personality: Be pretty detailed. I need to be able to understand your tribute.

Introvert or Extrovert?: This is will affect how I write from their point of view, so don't leave it blank!

Backstory: Be pretty detailed. Obviously, tributes with a more eventful past will have a longer backstory, but every tribute should have three sentences at LEAST.

Basic Strategy: No need to go into too much detail.

Open to Alliances?: If yes, specify what kinds of people/size.

Open to Romance?: If yes, specify what kind of person. Also, romances are unlikely and limited, so your tribute probably won't have one.

Predicted Placement: What you THINK they'll get.

Preferred Placement: What you WANT them to get. Don't be afraid to say first! It only strengthens their odds of winning.

Why Should They Win?: This is only for if you said "1st" for preferred placement.

Sector 1: Politicians. They were rich, and most of them are either cutthroat or spoiled. Most politicians have been killed.

Sector 2: Anybody who worked on the Hunger Games. This includes Gamemakers, escorts, stylists, and trainers. Most are wealthy, and almost all of them are Hunger Games-obsessed.

Sector 3: People who worked on muttations. They may study them, design them, or attempt to eradicate them in the wild. They are generally smart, although not very rich (for the Capitol).

Sector 4: Peacekeepers. They are brutal and often Hunger Games-obsessed. Some may be from Districts 1, 2, or 4.

Sector 5: Doctors/Pharmacists. Basically anyone dealing with health or medicine. They are generally smart and rich. Typically, they aren't so Hunger Games-obsessed.

Sector 6: Plastic Surgeons. One of the smallest sections, but they consist of very rich and pompous children. They are generally beautiful, and some are smart.

Sector 7: Artists/Musicians. Most aren't rich, but a few are very well-known and wealthy. They are usually pretty ditzy.

Sector 8: Fashion Designers/Models. The most beautiful citizens. They are pretty wealthy and spoiled, some of the most typical Capitolians.

Sector 9: Actors/Actresses. Once again, these citizens are typically spoiled and ditzy. Their wealth and fame varies depending on their level of acting, but most are rich.

Sector 10: Merchants/Shopkeepers. These aren't the richest people in the Capitol, but they still have a lot more money than the Districts. This is the largest Sector in the Capitol. They are pretty basic Capitol citizens; they aren't as ditzy and spoiled as those from 8 or 9, but are still pretty cushy. Most are obsessed with the Hunger Games.

Sector 11: Anyone else. They normally have lower-paying jobs and are some of the poorest Capitolians (still richer than the Districts, though). Most citizens aren't very smart or particularly beautiful.

Sector 12: Homeless/Rebels against the Capitol during the Rebellion. These people are usually smarter and weaker than the rest of the Capitol and are very poor. Most are homeless. A lot of them have some District blood, as well.

If you would like more detailed on a specific District, PM me and I'll give you some extra information.
