Title: As Good a Plan as Any
Fandom: The Hunger Games
Characters: OC - Paisley Webster; OC - Tartan ???
Word Count: 678
Prompt: fandomocweekly "Rush"
Content notes: Implications of canon-typical violence, suicide (not graphic)
Notes: This is something Katniss references in the first book, a boy who died when he dropped his token and set off the sensor in his starting pad. I wanted to reclaim that as an active choice, a little rebellion against the Capitol in refusing to let them kill him for fun.
Notes 2: I wrote this whole thing in my head one night when I had a migraine and couldn't look at a screen (or tolerate any light at all) but then didn't get around to writing down what I could remember of it so I could squeak in just under the wire to get this posted before the amnesty closed.

Notes: I stayed home sick today and spent my day rotting in bed and reading Hunger Games fanfic TV Tropes pages…
Notes 2: I took the idea of Clear (the wealthy(ier) section of the city, like how 12 has a merchant neighborhood) from Quell, a 2014 fanfic about the 25th Hunger Games

Characters: OC - Paisely Webster; OC - Dimity Shoemaker; Canon - Cecelia [Beam]; OC - Penelope "Penny" Fuller (Mentioned); OC - Mrs. Webster (Mentioned); OC - Tanner Beam (Mentioned) *Cecelia doesn't have a last name in canon so I gave her one.
Rating: G - General audiences
Warnings: Implication of canon-typical violence
Word Count: 478
Prompt: fandomocweekly "Secret"
Notes: I have post-75th Hunger Games plans for Paisley but I couldn't figure out why she wouldn't volunteer to take the place of Cecelia, a young mother of three children, and still be a good person. So I thought, What if Cecelia had a secret?
Notes 2: Penny and Dimity might eventually need their own character tags.
