'Violets Are Blue'

Another meeting takes place today- an important one too. The President has asked me to confer with the rest of the gamemakers and tell them of my many plans. I stare at my clock, subconsciously counting down to the minute I have to leave the comfort of my office and face Panem. My fingers begin to drum on top of my desk. I like the hollow sound the wood makes compared to the thundering noises of steel and other metals.

I frown at my feet. This job isn't easy. My life is on the line, a very narrow line. The President has so many rules that he doesn't tell me about. He just expects me to be perfect. And if I cross one of these invisible rules, well you've heard his threats.

Focus! This could be the biggest day of your career! I think to myself and look back to my blueprints. The arena will be outdoors, of course. I'm thinking of putting rare flowers in the arena to tower over the tributes. In the left upper corner of the arena there will be the Cornucopia. To the right of it is a lane of twisted flowers, each neglected and left out in the sun too long. Below them, in the center of my prints is a large field of grass. Each blade is precisely seven feet high. The force field put around the arena is covered with a dense fog, enough to make a tribute get lost. Below the grass field and to the right is a giant hedge maze. In the center there is another secret Cornucopia, highly guarded of course. And finally, on the far bottom left section of the arena is a forest complete with vicious mutts, plenty of trees, and food.

There is so much opportunity, but with each brilliant outcome there is an equally possible terrible consequence.

Dumbledore: SILENCEEEE!

Thank you Dumbledore. I hope he got your attention. This whole author's note is very important to read. Okay, everybody please listen up! I need your forms for this story to start! All spots are taken, sorry newcomers. Everyone who hasn't given me their tribute left, but reserved a spot needs to please hurry because I want to start soon! Thanks for the reviews!:) I appreciate them!

PM me for the form, those of you who still need it! Also, every few chapters I will put up a poll where you can choose your favorite tribute!

I'm also going to have a contest before the bloodbath. I'll give you a prompt and you make a fanfic out of it! I'd like it to be from the Hunger Games. This is completely unnecessary, meaning don't do it if you don't want to! It's for fun. And sponsor points. First place gets twenty sponsor points. Depending on how many people enter, I might have second and third place prizes too. You must enter BEFORE THE BLOODBATH! I have no rules for this contest other than it must be a Hunger Games fanfiction and rated T or below. USE THIS PROMP: Frozen in time and PM me when you are done so I can go check it out!:) I'll be reminding you to do the prompt throughout the story so don't worry about forgetting. Take your time!

SPONSOR POINTS QUESTION (2pts)- (You must turn in your form before you can answer. If you don't have a tribute, but you are still reading this story you may choose a tribute to give points to on each question): Do you have any ideas for this story? Suggestions for mutts, the arena, Capitol chapters etc.?

Sorry this is a lot to spring on you guys, but hey! The reaping will be out soon!
