heaven help me...

I can't even believe I'm saying this, but... I think I'm going to sign up for het_bigbang. The stories aren't due until late August. The word count minimum, if I want artwork (and OMG I WANT ARTWORK!!!!) is 25,000 words. *looks at monster* *looks at 7k fic written in 3 days* If I write Hunger Games, I really don't think 25k will be a problem. BUT ( Read more... )

the hunger games, challenges, literary boyfriends, just saw finnick odair in his underwear, the all-powerful flist, writing, fic challenges, things to do, fic ideas

Yikes. That's quite an undertaking. I've knocked off 15-20K in a weekend when I'm really inspired, but it's really a matter of finding the right plot bunny.

Although considering I've visited the 51st and the 75th, I suppose I could try writing a fic somewhere between the 67th and 70th Games, i.e., young!Finn/Jo, maybe some developing hints of Finn/Annie.

Yeah, you really do have to have the right plot bunny or it'll just fizzle. (Which is what happended the last time I signed up to write for this challenge and I ended up dropping out.)

Although...I just got a potential plot bite for an AU where Haymitch wasn't in the 50th Games (and KatPrim are his kids, rather like that AU prompt I wrote for GoF) and Maysilee was the victor and all of that because yeah, Maysilee (and the implied rebelliousness of the Donners via the mockingjay pin) sorta intrigues me.

LOL!

Dude! You're supposed to be giving ME prompts, not finding your own! :P

(I would totally read that and egg you on LIEK WHOA, just so's you know.)

Sorry? I may have to try that one. Which means I'd better move my ass and get "Hope in the Darkness" further along because I generally try to not jump between multiple large projects. Divided focus and too much potential for crossed wires.

(Also in random shipperdom, I'm developing a weird affection for a potential postwar-AU Cinna/Effie?)

Prompts for you! Cashmere/Finnick?

AU where The Girl On Fire ends up being instead The Boy With the Trident? (Also known as "Mags is a badass and helps spark a revolution to protect Finnick"?) Bonus points for Finnick/Annie as the star-crossed lovers.
