How long would the writing period be?

Ah, good question! I want to ensure adequate time for everyone.

Does a month sound reasonable?

That it does. :)

One more question ... do we choose what districts our Tributes are coming from?

And are we allowed to suggest more than one Tribute if it's in a different District or Fandom?

Yes, you choose your district! You can either suggest a new district (fandom) or hop on to an already-suggested district that only has one tribute!

I'd cautiously say 'no' to having more than one tribute right now, (after all, that's double the writing load for you!) but if we don't have enough writers participating after a while, you can suggest another.

Question! Twilight werewolves effectively stop aging as of when they start shifting -- unless they stop shifting for a while, then they start aging again. (Yeah, IDK, Twilight's weird like that.)

So Jacob started shifting at age 17 -- even if he comes from seven years after the end of canon, would he still count as 17?

Hm... I'm only somewhat familiar with Twilight. Would Jacob still act and think like an adolescent, or is he a grown man in a teenager's body?

I don't want to be too strict with the rules. In the words of Barbossa, "They're more like guidelines." So in the end, I think I'll leave it up to writers to decide on these 'grey areas.'

He wouldn't think like an adolescent, exactly, because he's grown up kind of fast due to having to adjust to being a werewolf. But at the same time, he's not going to be thinking like a forty-year-old man or anything. It's kind of a gray-area thing, because if he HADN'T stopped aging he'd be 24 from the point Renesmee's writer and I are pulling them from. But he DID stop aging, so he's still effectively 17. But he's had seven years of life experience, so... yeah. Gray area.

Oh, Twilight. You break brains in so many ways.

Hm... In this case, one possibility could be to pull the two characters from different times. However, this would be a bit paradoxical, since I'd assume Jacob would remember Renesmee as a younger girl than she is in the Game...

It's your call, whatever you choose.

"The bodies of dead characters simply vanish, as soon as they are left alone and unobserved by the other tributes."

So, hypothetically, a tribute could prevent this by staying in the immediate area for the duration of the "game" after killing someone? Hypothetically.

"In your Round, you may want to describe what happens to your character before the game. You may borrow from The Hunger Games, which includes mentors, parades, interviews, ratings, and training. Or, you may make up your own ‘pre-Game.’ Or, you may say that the characters are simply thrown into the Game with no preparation at all! It is completely up to the discretion of the writer."

Excellllent.

- Yes. One could, in fact, prevent the 'reclaiming' of bodies by hanging around them.

- Bwah hah hah hah???
