I'll be leaving last chapter's notes up, in case you missed them.
This is where all notes and sponsor questions will be posted! (I decided to put the questions here to make sure you read the notes. If you've already commented on the chapter, you can leave an annoymous review, (just make sure to leave your screen name) or you can PM me your answers.
1/2- Happy New Year! Sorry I didn't get a chance to post the new chapter yesterday... I fell asleep. :) I'm very proud of the chapter, to honest, it being the longest piece I've ever wrote, and I REALLY like the characters everyone submitted.

10 Point- What was the arena like for the 75th Hunger Games
20 Point- ho is my favorite character? Gale, Peeta, Finnick, Haymitch, or Cinna?
Happy Reading!
12/30- Thank you so much for all the reviews! They really made my day and encouraged me to write more! Thank you for the advice as well. This is my first SYOT, so I may need some help here and there.
Winners of the triva!
5 point!- Darkwolf127! The Pita bread!
10 Point!- Things I had forgot! (try to answer 1 question only. I'm not going to be too strict about this) I 'love-to-hate' Clove!
20 Point!- acereader55!That's right! It was a TRICK QUESTION! GASP! The book never said!
Last but not least... I will have a poll up ASAP. There, you will vote for your 'favorite character of the chapter.' PLEASE do not vote for your own character. There will be a new poll every week, and whoever has the most wins (if everyone only has 1 win, I'll go by votes) will be granted immunity for the first day of the games! Once the games begin, a character will need two wins in order to be granted one day of immunity. Don't stress over this, the winner of every chapter will be posted here! So be sure to check back here as much as you can!
Thanks! A new chapter will be up very soon!

Here's the final list of tributes for the Quarter Quell!
If there is a * before your tribute's name that means they start in the career alliance. This might change, so make sure to always check back here!
I can't wait for the games! I have a lot of plans. If you want a certain death, feel free to PM me. If you have any ideas for the games, feel free to PM me. If you're bored, feel free to PM me. :)
District 1:
*Gallant Strongrow was born a cheater, although, no one knows that yet. How would the Gamemakers find out he's on steroids, and is willing to sneak them into the games? This 17 year old has bad temper problems, and likes to be the boss. Will he get along with the other careers? Will he get caught cheating?
*Diamond Cross is the lucky lady from District 1 who was voted in to play in the Games this year! Why was she voted in? Diamond was always considered a 'slut' because of her looks. Diamond has always been kind of a loner because of this. But can she use her weakness with making friends as an advantage to winning the games?
District 2:
*Caligula Mioella may just win the Hunger Games for his District, District 2, this year. With his whitest blonde hair, and blue almond shaped, 'Husky-Dog looking' eyes, this dark character with a tough back story volunteered for the glory of winning, even though it was a Quarter Quell. With some of the most training ever seen in Hunger Games history, this 18 year old career has pontieal to lead 'the careers' and bring home the glory.
*Capurnia Flight is the fierce looking girl from District 2, who isn't going to let anyone take her prize of winning the first Quarter Quell. She's known as 'the crazy girl' throughout her District. She may just be 'Hunger Games Crazy' before she even volunteers herself. This evil 18 year old has the guts to kill you in your sleep without batting an eye.
District 3:
Nikandros "Nick" Redutrib was voted into the games this year for a pretty good reason. Burning Peacekeepers things and stealing and breaking valuable items of others actually really gets on other people's nerves. So they sent him in the games, because they didn't tell authorities. Can this troublesome teenager return home to his loving little sister?
Flynn Teckleis the 'invisible girl' from District 3. But if she's so invisible, how did this 14 year old get reaped? Flynn is one of our lankiest tributes, being naturally very skinny, and on the taller side. Flynn isn't much of a thret. She's never had any training, nor has she ever expected to get reaped. Flynn should be an easy kill... Or so some think.
District 4:
*Patrick DiMarco
*Ariela Crest represents District 4 for the Quarter Quell! Ariela sports short, wavy, dark hair, and those District 4 sea-green eyes everybody loves! Ariela, although one of our oldest tributes this year, doesn't act like it with her mischievous personality. Still, Ariela is smart and a good liar, and not to be underestimated. Ariela's never trained for the games, but can her happy-go-lucky, rebellious attitude, and her knot tying abilities get her through the games alive?
District 5:
Lance Bloomer isn't bringing much hope to the people of District 5. Lance, although very smart academically, is called 'retard' because he has a bad speech problem. Because of this, this 16 year old is mostly mute, using hand gestures and expressions on his face to communicate. Lance has to walk around his District worried about being assaulted by his peers, who are apparently much smarter than him. Lance loves his sisters very much, and it's hard for him to say goodbye. Can this boy make it back to his sister in one piece?
Mira (Angelo) Pattel was reaped for the 25th Annual Hunger Games! Angelo is a transgender (born female, identifies as male) who isn't happy when he is reaped as the girl tribute. This slightly awkward 15 year old over-thinks things often, and can have a brutal temper. Angelo was reaped because he was 'a freak that needed to be taught a lesson, but may be smart enough to win.' Angelo's District may be correct; Angelo has the brains, and he can set a snare that can take your life away.
District 6:
Taylor Carson is the 14 year old who was voted into the games this year, because, like many other tributes, stole from others. This rather cruel and heartless grey eyed boy suspects that his sisters managed to vote him in. Sure, he may have a rare disorder that can blur his vision randomly, but Taylor Carson might leave the arena a victor.
Shasta 'Shay' Wlydfire used to be a capitalist. Shay's parents couldn't pay rent, so Shay and her siblings were turned into test subjects for diseases, and her parents were turned into Avoxs. After the kids debts were payed, they were sent to live in District 6, because of lack of population in that District. Shay, now frightened and enraged, likes to practice throwing knives to calm her anger down. This 15 year old was reaped because the District thought they might have a chance at winning. Will Shay Wlydfire start a wildfire in the games?
District 7
Parker Willow
Lyrhi Bendict is our female tribute from District 7 this year! She volunteered for her friend, Hannah, who was voted in this year! Lyrhi is a sweet 16 year old, with an optimistic attitude. Her short blonde hair and blue eyes give her an angelic look, but can this ax throwing angel take everyone by surprise and come home alive?
District 8:
Cameron Bonfield, who's 15, will be fighting in the Quarter Quell this year! This extremely smart guy, who knows how to use a sword is mostly laid back, but watch out! If you get him mad, you better run for the hills. Can Cameron make it back to his friends, and girlfriend, Amy?
Suede Kink (Bloodbath) is the rather depressed 17 year old from District 8. Suede was reaped out of pity, because people though this girl who never smiles would be put out of her misery. Suede might just remember how much she loves her family, but is that enough to bring her home?
District 9:
*Swallow Ruse might just be the Capitol favorite this year, with his funny attitude, rebellious personality, and fearlessness. Swallow, coming to the stylists with slightly choppy hair, and wolfish face, seems he can make anyone smile. Good with a scythe and a snarky sense of humor, this just-turned-16 year old has a good chance of catching the eye of the careers. Can he make it home?
*Violet Samaly is the small 15 year old fighting for District 9 this year! Violet was reaped because her abusive father convinced many people in his town to vote for her. Eventually, news spread that the people of District 9 had someone to vote for, so now Violet gets to play in the games. Violet may be small, but this stealthy, quick, smart kid might just make it out of the arena alive.
District 10:
Josa Temm is the male tribute who will be representing District 10 for the First Quarter Quell! This practical 16 year old who was reaped because of his religious beliefs, has to come home to his wife, who he recently married the day of the reapings. Josa may be nice to those who are nice to him, but can this Native with hair so dark it almost looks blue win the Hunger Games for The Mother?
Josephina "Jo" Lianteh is our youngest tribute in the Quarter Quell! This incredibly shy 12 year old who once tried stealing now barely talks, and has a huge fear of Peacekeepers ever since she had a bad experience with one. Why was a little kid reaped? Actually, Jo's mother is a well-known murderer and thief, so the capitol rigged the votes, and put Jo in the games as punishment. Jo may be the most underestimated in the games, but who knows? Maybe she'll become a murderer... Just like her mother.
District 11:
Cain Tracer (Bloodbath) is basically your average 15 year old, with short dark hair, and grass green eyes. Although he is, for the most part, normal, Cain has a problem with fainting, that will cause him to faint randomly. Can this be a disadvantage to the outgoing trap-setter?
Rye Sholmes is one of our younger tributes this year, being only 13, and is from District 11. Sure, Rye may still be a little kid compared to others, but watch your back! This sly, cunning, and sneaky little crook was reaped for a reason. Rye stole from many people, being so quick, so they got fed up and reaped her. Rye might make history in the Hunger Games.
District 12: (Bloodbaths)
Wood Pinegreen (Bloodbath) is the laughing stock of the Quarter Quell. Sure, he's 17 and tough looking, but he's never been to a school, can't read or write, and is as dumb as a brick. He's tough for someone from District 12, but that isn't too tough. Is it even possible for Wood to make it past the first day?
Chloe Stern (Bloodbath) isn't exactly the kind of person that would strike you as a victor in the making. She's hysterical when she is reaped, and has no training with weapons whatsoever, being only 14 and from the poorest District. Sure, she doesn't have the regular attitude of a victor, but really, is ANYTHING regular this year?
Sponsor Points:
Here's how sponsor points are going to work: Before the games start, I will ask 3 trivia questions that are each worth a different amount of points. One for 20 points, one for 10, and one for 5. The FIRST ONE to answer ONE of these correctly gets the points. You can only get points for one question. I will keep track of everyone's sponsor points on a separate chapter, and if you want to purchase something, you can message me what you need, and how many points you have. We can negotiate a price. This will be more conviant for me, and I will be able to get back to you quicker. If you cannot PM me for whatever reason, please let me know.
Once the games begin, there will be only one trivia question for ten points. By this time, if you have not commented once since the reapings chapter, your character will most likely become a bloodbath. Before every chapter, I will post how many deaths are in this chapter. In each Games chapter, there will be at least 3 points of view, showing the point of view from 3 different alliances. (Or loners) There will be a poll on my page, and you can vote or your favorite character each time a new chapter comes out. The tribute who wins this poll will be granted immunity. PLEASE DO NOT VOTE FOR YOUR OWN CHARACTER!
I am hoping to have the reapings up well before the end of the break. I might skip the reapings, and go straight to training, adding flashbacks of the train rides and reapings.
IF ANY OF THE ABOVE DOES NOT MAKE SENSE TO YOU, PLEASE PM ME!
Thanks,
Jay
