UPDATE! Yup, bet you people weren't expecting that. To be quite frank, I wasn't expecting it either, but I feel the need to let you people know a little something about this story. And, cuz I'm cool like that, this will be delivered in several paragraphs. Yeah, I haven't really matured much since you all last saw me.
Aaaanywho, this story is no longer up for adoption. No, no one has adopted it. Well, actually, they have, but none of them actually finished it, so I decided screw it, ain't nobody touching my baby. I will not be finishing this story, I'm sad to say, but the characters shall live on! Sort of. You know why? Because I am writing a sequel of sorts that follows the adventures of two never-before-seen characters (Ace and Layla Bartman) and one ROCKY MOORE during the fourth Hunger Games. That's right, Rocky gets his very own time to shine in the Hunger Games. And here is my explanation of why.
I have had several Hunger Games ideas since this one. One was a Quarter Quell in which almost everything in the arena was drugged. Another was the story of Rocky Moore, which I will expand on in a later paragraph, and another was the story of two siblings with a hankering for chess AND MURDER being put in the Hunger Games and having no qualms about killing each other.
I will explain the Rocky Moore thing first. You see, I had a whole epilogue planned out for The First Hunger Games, or as it's now named, I Can't Live Without You, which was more of a timeline than a chapter. It would follow the lives of Sam's and MaddiGrace's family after the tragic end to their time in the Hunger Games, starting with Rocky Moore being reaped for the fourth Games and being the first and last person to get someone pregnant in the arena. Yup. And I liked that idea. Then I figured, I can't write through a boy's perspective for shit, so I needed a female narrator, and thus Layla Bartman was born, and Rocky became a supporting character instead of the hero. Then I decided that Layla needed to have some serious hang-ups, so I gave her a real weird family with a cute younger brother and a real weird older brother, and I liked the real weird older brother so much that I threw him in there too. And then Pawns and Kings was born into the world. I will probably be posting it a little later today, and I would love for you all to check it out! It explains everything that would've happened in this story and expands on the characters you knew and loved in this. I really hope you'll all read and review! Toodles!
