The announcement
Everything was going reasonably smooth.
All except the fact that the authors haven't made sure there won't be another rebellion.
Sure, the arena is ever changing, but who knows if Katniss Everdeen will become the mockingjay again, but instead of defeating the Capitol, this time might be the characters vs the authors.
Joanne doesn't know how to tell this fact to Suzanne. Suzanne was so proud of her ideas, she missed some of the 'plot holes'.
"There might be another rebellion, Suzanne."
Suzanne looked up from her papers. "Oh? Don't worry J.K, I will take care of it."
Suzanne was shining her overly sweet smile again. Vaguely reminding Joanne of her most hated character- Dolores Umbridge.
"Alright then. That's good. But don't we seem to be like the villains in the books now?" Rick asked. That was another concern on Joanne's mind.
"Oh no no, don't worry, we know what villains are, and we aren't villains don't worry." Suzanne smiled again.
Joanne was still concerned. Hoping that she doesn't have to betray her fellow authors for the sake of saving the good.
Things are always so complicated. The characters have no idea how much pain this will be. Bring back the dead is cruel enough, killing them again is beyond cruel.
The fans will sure go crazy. Fandoms will be in uproar, viral images on fandoms will spread. There really might be a rebellion.
One that won't really need the help of great heroes.
"Alright, how are we going to announce this?" Veronica asked.
"Now, I haven't finished the speech yet, but I will need the media's attention on this announcement. Hopefully all of you guys will help me spread this. Use your fake mortal/mundane/muggle social media accounts and send things about the games to popular fan pages."
A wave a nods and smiles.
"This is what I got so far." She cleared her throat. "This year, we bring you a surprise. With every amazing book series ended, we- the Authors have met up and brought you a new real fandoms mashup. We will have the main characters from our books to fight! Fight in the arena. Yes, it might seem gruesome. But do not grieve, as dead characters will be brought back to life and be reunited with their loved ones. Here are our candidates. For the Hunger Games! We have- Katniss, Peeta, Gale and Prim! For Harry Potter! We have- Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny! The mortal instruments! We have- Clary, Jace, Isabelle and Alec. Oh and a note from Clare about her tributes- Sorry Simon fans, if we had five spots, Simon will be in there. Now, for our Nerdfighters! We have- Hazel and Augustus from TFIOS, Q and Margo from Paper Towns. Next, Percy Jackson! We have- Percy, Annabeth, Leo and Nico! Another note from Rick- I'm sorry about not choosing some of your favourites, but I'll make sure you see some awesome stuff. Next, for The Maze Runner! We have- Thomas, Newt, Minho and Teresa. We have another note from James Dashner, he says he had a really hard decision, but he chose Teresa for the best story! Last but not least! Divergent series by Veronica Roth! We have- Tris, Tobias, Christina and Will.
This characters were apparently very hard to choose, so please enjoy the show! The games will start in a month. Happy hunger games! May the odds be ever in your favour!"
"Is that good enough?" Suzanne asked.
There was applause, quite loud for a cluster of only six people.
"So! When shall we announce this to the crowd? I can finish it in a few minutes!"
Everyone looked around, Cassandra spoke up. "I don't mind, but I think we all need to prepare our tributes."
Suzanne was still smiling, "alright! Now, each of you go find your characters. Be friendly! I'm going to finish this after I see my lovely tributes!" She waved her hand at us, "off you go!"
I packed up my files into my bag. I was just about to go when Suzanne called. "Joanne, can you stay for a while, oh and Rick too" Suzanne said, using my real name.
I was pretty surprised, not knowing weather if I was a student getting in trouble. "Oh sure." I said, while trying to be friendly.
"You should already know that you two created characters with magical abilities. I have to tell you that some of the magic will be subsided in the arena. Some power will be shared with the other tributes, but otherwise, since they already practiced tonnes, they will have a good advantage. Magic like making food or water is banned. Also superpowers that Rick has, will be subsided but not completely gone."
Now that wasn't good news, without magic, Harry is pretty useless.
