So... How's this gonna work?

Okay...
We've created (most of) our characters and should soon be thinking about starting the games. We've just gotta decide on how it's gonna work.

I think we should start in the districts, on reaping day, and do a chapter each on that. Then, in the justice building and train, ect.

After that we might need to discuss our ideas more, since all of the characters are together. I'll create a discussion for that.

Obviously, the idea of this is to get one winner. It's a fight to the death people! DEATH being the important word! All but one must die, like it or not. So, the difficult bit is deciding who dies first. In the Books/Film, quite a lot of people die at the very beginning. I think the people with the most characters should lose one of them at the beginning of the games, it's only fair. We can talk about deaths later.

Also, Elf had a rather good idea. Remember in the Books/Film? How all of the tributes tried to get sponsers? She had the idea of readers (readers that are NOT particitating!), could comment and tell us what they will give our tributes. We should talk to fans/friends about doing this.

P.S. Sorry if I'm irratating people saying Books/Films all of the time. It's just that some people might have JUST read the book or JUST seen the film. I'm almost finished the Hnger Games and have seen the film, this is just in case someone hasn't.

I think it's fair that the people with the most characters are the one to die first, since they do get to write more than us. We also have to figure out about the people are going to end up winning.

Also, what number Hunger Games are we doing? In the books and movie it was the 74th Games...

Well... I'm not sure. Since it's the Writer Games, it could be the first? I dunno...

OH! And there's something else!

We'll need to decide a posting order. But, then again, I hate posting orders! SO MUCH PRESSURE! I dunno. We can decide later.

What we could do is have a character posting order so that it's in a set order. But that can be stressful though it would ensure that everyone posted when it was thee turn. I'm not bothered really :)

I think we should have a posting order because then everybody get their fair share of writing.

Also, if it's the first Writer Games, we should develop a backstory about why we got the Games.

@MoonBean Yeah. We do need a back story. Should it be something simple, like the rebelion, or something else?

Oh, I have something, say that there was a war between writers and so the 24 best writers are chosen to create a character and use the audience and there writing skills to try and win the best writer award. Maybe? I dunno. And I said about writing order, make it a district at a time I.e.

Distict 1 boy
District 1 girl
District 2 bot
District 2 girl and so on

@elf I kind of like that idea. For the reason we have the Writer Games. Maybe there was a fight between writers so 24 chosen writers had to create a character and be thrown into a survival situation? Something of that sort. Ad the writing order is good too.

@elf About the wrinting order. We don't have enough writers yet. We can't wait forever.

What we could do is make some of the tributes minor characters, like Foxface, she didn't ever get a name. Just choose a name, age and district to fill up the gaps. If someone what to take those characters later, then they could do a full bio.

How does that sound?

Sounds good. Those characters could then be killed of at the start. Simples.

Ok, sooooooo... What should we name them?

We shouldn't kill ALL of them, just in case someone wants to jump in half way through. But yeah, that's a good idea.

Well. Me and you have the district twos we can pass on to anyone who decides to join.

After we have everyone picked, are we going onto the goodbyes from families. Will that chapter end on the train to the training grounds? I think it will be a bit to tedious if we make another chapter each for the ride.

Then at training, how is that going to work? A chapter each on them learning new skills and what they think of the other characters? End that when they are about to enter the game?

Once in the game, I think the first few minutes will be kinda hard to right with so many spcharacters as it will get kind off confusing if say, a district one harms a district twelve, the reader will have forgotten about that by the time it is district twelves time to write...

When can I post?

Since my two characters are from district 10, do I have to wait for everyone else in the districts before me to go?

Sorry, yup. That's what's happening. We are currently waiting on a district three girl, then we can move on.

Don't worry elf, Once the story picks up more and people start reading we'll be getting more sponsers.
