Hello everyone!

So after heaps and heaps of planning, I have found an effective way to write the interviews. But first, I had to go and search through every single tribute form to find the interview outfits and angles/strategies. Phew!

Before we launch into the interviews, I decided to write up this super short pre-interviews chapter just to set the scene a little bit. It's in a general POV, so not in the POV of any tribute in particular. Enjoy!


General POV

All the tributes assemble backstage, all dressed up in their stylist's finest work, ready to face the Capitol for their interviews.

The girl from District 1 looks absolutely regal and lovely, carrying on the purple theme from her reaping and her chariot costume. A sleeveless, slim-fitting purple dress hugs her figure, the lovely chiffon fabric drifting down to her sparkly silver high heels. She seems to be gaining some looks from the other tributes, including a lingering stare from another boy in particular.

Each and every tribute girl is dressed uniquely, some of their outfits even relating back to their district roots. The girl from 9 is clothed in gold, the beads along her dress forming little clusters of grain, whilst the young girl from 5 looks very elusive in black and white, a small veil swooping over her eyes. The black and white set off her red lips, her bright hair and the glittering ring on her finger.

The female from 8 looks very interesting, in her Victorian-style dress with a twist. The skirt is around thigh height in the front, and reaching the floor in the back. She wears white boots with bright red ankle socks, and a neat red tie around her neck. Her look is one we've never seen before for an interview, but it makes the girl look classy and stylish.

The boys all look slick as well. All of them wear different shades, ranging from sparkling silver to sky blue. The male from 12 seems to be taking on a more daring look, sporting a bright red coat with black trim along the collar and black piping on the shoulders. But the boy from 9 is playing it down a little, wearing a black suit with a golden tie matching the shades and adornment of his district partner's dress.

All twenty-four tributes seem jittery with a combination of nerves and excitement. The Career pack have banded together, complimenting each other on their outfits whilst looking over the rest of the tributes. Another sizable alliance all seem to be giggling together in anticipation, all smiles and bright eyes. Not a usual sight to see on interview night. Other tributes hang around in quiet pairs. But another tribute, the boy from District 8, stands on his own, observing the other tributes. Wearing all black except for his green tie, he blends in quite well.

The backstage supervisor calls all the tributes into order as they prepare for their stage entrance. The girl from 1 clothed in purple leads the line, ending with the male from 12 in his bright red coat. There is no more talking, all the tributes calming themselves down. The girl from 6 shivers nervously as the host, Helena Stacey, works up the crowd. Helena herself is dressed very well, in a gold pant suit with dramatic black and gold makeup and her hair a combination of black and gold streaks.

"Since these tributes were reaped, I know you've just been dying to meet them all! Well, they're all waiting backstage, dressed to impress. Are you excited?" The crowd's cheers and claps escalate as Helena beams at the crowd. She herself is excited to get into the tributes' heads.

"Well, without further ado, I'd like to welcome out the twenty-four tributes of the 35th Hunger Games!"

All twelve boys and girls walk onto the stage. Some hold themselves with confidence, some look obviously nervous and shy, and some just squint at the bright lights and the colourful audience. They all take their places around the stage, in the twenty-four chairs set up in a semicircle around Helena. As they all take their seats, Helena starts introducing the first tribute to face their interview.

As the audience claps and cheers, the first tribute stands up and walks towards the stage to face Helena, the Capitol audience and every citizen in the twelve districts of Panem.


Hope you liked that!

So this is how the interviews will work. The interviews will span over three separate chapters, with three POVs each chapter. I am only writing the interviews of nine tributes, so a few will miss out. I have tried to take the tributes of the authors who have been most involved in the story. These tributes should also have interesting interviews.

On other news, has everyone watched the new teaser trailer for the Catching Fire movie? WASN'T IT PERFECT?! Aaaah! It was so good! Loved, loved, LOVED it!

I have already started writing the next chapter, so that should be up soon!

Thanks for reading, guys! :D
