Finnick/Johanna drabble
PG. 100 words obviously. No title.

***

In other news, I keep discovering songs by Kevin Rudolf that remind me of The Hunger Games. There's Scarred for Johanna and In the City for Finnick or possibly just all of them. But maybe it's just me?

I'd leave some prompts to the Bread Et Circuses ficathon but I'm not sure

You have nothing to lose by leaving prompts. Just sayin'...

And I hope to have a fic finally FINALLY finished this weekend to post there for the Finnick is the victor of the 75th Games prompt.

I like that song for Finnick.

[trovia]

This is true. Still sucking at thinking them up though. It might be a non-native speaker thing. I'm never entirely sure if I'm prompting what I was meaning to prompt. ;)

Very much looking forward to that fic! It sounds intriguing.

[sabaceanbabe]

You could always post things from youtube and tell people to write you a fic to go with the song. I've written at least one fic from a prompt like that (I Want My Innocence Back).

[trovia]

Also true. I wrote one of your song prompts once.

You're just gonna argue until I start prompting, aren't you? :)

That was such an awesome remix :)

There's been very little Gaeta or even secondary character fic this time around (except for Tom Zarek. Somehow Tom Zarek got the love this time.) The fics have all been well-written (I am trying to read and leave a comment for all of them), but this has not been a secondary character year. Oh well, I guess? (Did you read the one with Gaeta meeting Tony Stark? That one's really fun, too.)

[trovia]

Yeah, the second characters apparently just didn't luck out this year. Shame though. There'd always been so much love for them in previous ficathons.

I did read the Tony Stark one and enjoyed it too, however I barely remember that movie at all so it was a little meh that way.

How much more fic is there to still be posted? I don't know how many people signed up this year.

[lls_mutant]

Just one more day's worth.

It's funny, it seems like one secondary character gets an especial amount of love each year (plus Gaeta, because he has a significant fandom). One year it was Racetrack, this year it's Zarek.... but there weren't many secondary character writers writing this year, and there were a couple of surprises. (I wasn't expecting a kappamaki33 fic to become an A/R fic, for example.) It's a small turnout this year- only 23 people. I keep wondering how many more years we'll keep going, tbh, just based on interest.

[trovia]

Yeah, I also remember fic about, for example, Ellen, Boomer... and the occasional Helo fic, who isn't exactly a secondary character but still never got much fic love on LJ... It used to be pretty diverse.

It would be a shame if it died. Then again, I'm not exactly a shining example about participating either. Still enjoy reading the fandom, but I'd have to rewatch the show before I could ever attempt to write it again.

Welcome to the wide world of prompt madness. They're like cookies--you can't ever have just one. ;)

[trovia]

Hee! Such an American comparison to make. You guys have awesome cookies.

[deathmallow]

We do some things right. ;)

And HID started as one little ficathon prompt. 304,000 words and a giant-ass sequel later...

I blame Haymitch and Johanna for being intriguing.
