Author's Note: A long-overdue drabble on the Hunger Games. Come on, you know Amy would read it. And probably make Dan read it, as well, like I did with my brother. So here's a little something for all you HG fans out there. :)
Dan and Amy had their different taste, but there was one thing they agreed on: the Hunger Games.
Amy liked it for the plot, the characters, and the romance; Dan claimed to enjoy the violence (even if she sometimes saw him cringe as she read it aloud).
The truth was, in some ways, they saw their own story reflected in the pages. Children fighting each other? That was like the Clue Hunt. The manipulative rulers? The way the Vespers would be if they took over.
Innocents dying, like poor little Rue? The Cahills were sworn to prevent that from happening.
Author's Note: ...Wait, you all do know that Rue died, right? I mean, sorry, maybe I should've put up a spoiler warning... but I think it's pretty much common knowledge, especially since it happened in Book 1/Movie 1.
So, now, get ready for some shameless self-promotion: I'm writing a Hunger Games multi-chap. I know, everybody's doing it, and everybody's probably done the whole OCs-in-the-Games thing, too. But I implore you to read it, anyway. If you like my writing at all, or like action, drama, friendship, romance... pretty much every genre in the HG series, I hope you'll read it. I promise, it's probably better than any of my 39 Clues fics, since I have more free reign with the OCs and stuff.
Please? :)
