Phenomenon: the 85th Annual Hunger Games (Open SYOT)

by Hawkmaid

The 85th year of the Hunger Games will be different than any other year. Old ideas have dissipated and a paradigm of nearly nine decades has been deserted. A new and dangerous precedent has taken the place of the old. and it has upped the game. A phenomenal change has gripped Panem, and the tributes must be prepared to look down the gaping jaws of death in order to survive.

2. Rules and Other Information

Hello! And welcome to my Hunger Games SYOT! All of this information will be posted on my profile along with the tribute list and the tribute form. I hope that you'll consider submitting! Please read either this chapter or the same info on my profile before submitting, it's important. May the odds be ever in your favor!

Rules:

(please read, they're important!)

Rule 1. This is essentially a first-come-first-serve SYOT. However, if a tribute is really boring or I won't be able to portray them properly, I will open the slot back up. (hopefully, that won't happen, but just in case)

Rule 2. I will accept tributes from both review and PM's, but I would prefer PMs. And also please label the PM in a way that makes sense.

Rule 3. Reservations are welcome and I would be happy to hold a spot for you! If you don't submit a tribute within 48 hours (roughly) the spot will open up again. However, if you need an extension I would be happy to extend your reservation time.

Rule 4. You may submit up to two tributes to start. The submissions may open up again later.

Rule 5. Because of my faith and my own personal experience, your tributes cannot swear and cannot be an LGBTQ+ character. I am not against these people in any way (I love all people, no matter who they are or what they believe), but because of my personal limited experience, I would not portray those types of characters very well.

RUle 6. Be creative! No one wants to read about a boring tribute. But at the same time, no overly perfect tributes. Everyone has flaws and fears.

Rule 7. Have fun!

Other Information:

(not as important as the rules, but still would be good to know)

This SYOT is my original idea. I didn't consciously copy it from anyone else. If I did, it would have been a complete accident.

The winner will be determined partially by their character and partially by chance. I will NOT be showing favoritism (sorry JStar14H ;) to any tributes based on the submitter. The arena is very specific so a very specific tribute will win.

This is a side project of mine, so if I don't update for a while, I apologize in advance. I will do my best to update regularly.

I really hope you guys enjoy this story! I've wanted to do one of these for so long and I'm finally deciding to do it! I don't know how it'll turn out, but you'll never know till you try.
