The Hunger Games - Writing Contest (ENDED)

Welcome to the First Annual Hunger Games!

Hello, My name is OxyGenius. I will be your gamemaker. May I just say, welcome to Hell!

If you want to survive, you not only have to win over your sponsors and fellow tributes, but me as well.

I am just putting this out here, so please, ALL THE TRIBUTES READ THIS! If you profile page is not posted yet, there are many reasons for this, and here's why...

As many of you might know, school is starting up, meaning I can not stay up all night posting the pages. They will all be posted this weekend, but you can still participate without a page. There are things I need to do in my life that can't be belated, so please understand.

Next, I have decided to let you run wild with alliances. No need to tell me about them since they didn't in the movie.

The first encounter(s) will be posted on September 4th.

In my next paragraph, I will describe the arena.

You are raised up into the arena by a platform. You take a look at your surroundings. There is a light snow falling from above, but it has a quality that doesn't seem right. Snowflakes are landing on your skin, but they aren't melting.

To the North, there is a forest full of thick pine trees, which seems to have small animals scurrying in it.

To the South, a mountain with many caves and paths casts a large shadow over you. The capitol seems to have really outdone themselves this year.

To the West, there is a frozen lake, with small vegetation scattering it. There is a smaller forest behind it, with no living creatures in sight.

To the East is the Cornucopia. You can see tons of weapons and supplies available, but you know it will be a bloodbath to reach it.

Now, it's your time to choose tributes. On this page ONLY, comment which direction you choose to go in. Remember that if you go in the same direction as someone else, the chances of an encounter will be higher. Talk with your allies to see which place you will go.

In your encounters, please be thorough and put as many details as you feel necessary. Write as if this was your own story on your page. If the other tributes can't feel your emotion in it, they will be less likely to vote for you.

If you would like to track your location and the location of other tributes go to the Location Page.

On September 4th, The First Encounters will be posted. On this page, I have paired you all up with one other tribute and given you each separate encounters. I will post all the pages and the voting will begin. If you want the games to move along smoothly, make sure to vote for other tributes. You can vote for yourself, but in the end, it might not actually make a difference.

Happy Hunger Games!
