Hello readers! This is just a little heads-up to let you know what's going on. I'm writing this story as a sort of self-devised therapy. Thing is, I'm diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive disorder, and everyone I know who knows someone with Asperger's says I fit the bill. It's hard for me to talk about it because I don't want to complain. It's also hard because when I do, people tend to say "Oh haha I'm so OCD too," and what they mean is they're "quirky" or "perfectionists". It's not like that, and it breaks my heart when people think this disease I have that affects my life every day is nothing but a "quirk". I hope that by hiding in the Hunger Games world behind the over-the-top characters and action I can write about what it's like to live with this condition and let the feelings out. I know you guys here at Fanfic tend to be nothing but supportive, so I'm hoping I might get some reviews that will help me out. I don't mean to ask you to censor yourselves or just come here and gush over me. Just please be gentle. This isn't easy. I thought about making the other tributes SYOT, but I didn't think it would be fair, since the main character is really just an avatar for me. This might not be the most realistic Games, since my avatar probably wouldn't last more than a day or two, but I'll do the best I can to make it not too ridiculous, and I even plan to incorporate some less-utilized elements from the series. Thanks for coming, and bear with me. Let's see how this goes.
