That's so interesting what you're saying about Thresh's victory being hopeful for Twelve, because it's so true, yet I've never thought about it that consciously. I decided very early on that Thresh should live just because I thought that would be pretty awesome and also the next best thing to a Twelve victory. And it makes so much more sense than a victory by Rue, which I have read more often.

Finnick totally is a kind of community organizer. Having grown up in a big family and in a district that values the idea of doing things for the group (volunteering!) so highly, he'll probably always need that sense that he's contributing to the pack. He used to crave recognition for that too, which I think he needs less now, having gotten over the idea that other people's image of him is that relevant and learning the joy of saying "what the hell, I don't care."

The Gale thing is going to be resolved in the next chapter.

I started finding Peeta much more interesting after I wrote that story, too, so really it's the fault of the person who wrote the original fic that I remixed. ;)
