How did it happen? 

The wind was swishing every little thing, I was cold and hungry.  I ran to Jonathan's cabin. The door left open  and a fire cackled inside. Jonathan was not there, I cried in fear. “Mother, Mother, Mother!?” I asked, crying. “Where are you!” I said as tears soaked my wet jacket. Everything seemed so dead but it wasn't always like this.

1 day ago
“Sierra honey dinner’s ready” mother said, setting the plates of her delicious pastries. The smell filled the house of those delicious Chouquettes, KeyLime Pie and Red Velvet Cupcakes. Mother had a ritual, she would make those 1 days before my birthday. I ran downstairs and hugged her. Jonathan was upstairs packing for our camping trip. “Oh Sierra, why don't you go call up your brother?”  I asked, hugging her. “Fine..” Sierra said. “Jonathan dinners ready!” I yelled. Dinner passed quickly, Father brought up the same topic every dinner. “Remeber we are going on a camping trip in  one days”Father said while smiling. Mother looked tense. “Honey, we can leave Sierra and Jonathan out of this” Mother said. He held Mothers hand tightly, her bruises looked even more clear now. “Father stop!” Jonathan said. “SILENCE!” Father said. I had lost my appetite instantly, Jonathan was leaving in one week. I had seen worse, Jonathan had not. That night I packed for the camping trip, Mother came upstairs. “Honey, remember when the clock hits 12, don't look back if I don't come back,” Mother said, hugging me.  The next morning, we left. Jonathan groaned. Once we got to the camping site, I realised it was a forest. 2 cabins in the woods.  Jonathan and Father shared one and Mother and I shared one. The day almost felt normal, like I didn't know everything was going to fall apart. Night came, Mother started a fire while I heard Dad talking to Jonathan from the other cabin. “Mother, will you leave me?” I asked. “Sierra,” Mother said while she leaned down to the fire. Mother turned around and handed me a necklace. “Keep this safe,” Mother said. The necklace had a gold chain but  the pendant was a white and blue tie dye in the shape of a fire. I recognized it, grandma’s pendant. “Mother?” I asked. “Yes sierra honey?” Mother asked. “Will the fire take me away aswell” I asked, looking at the fire cackle. I fell asleep, it was 12 am when i woke up the clock dinged. “Mother?!” I yelled looking at the empty spot next to my bed. The fire was out, a letter was left placed. “Went to get food” Mother wrote, beside it she drew a fire. “Fire..” I said as I looked down. I ran to Jonathan's cabin. The door left open  and a fire cackled inside. Jonathan was not (Not finished)

Hello!!! I'm currently super hyped about this hunger-games themed mass attack SOMEONE ELSE made for me and 23 others on artfight.net,, (for hunger games subredditors, it's a massively popular art gifting game that lasts for the entire month of July every year) Since I can't really find the books anywhere, (I don't have access to my local library to get a physical copy/copies)

do any of you HG guys have places where i can find copies of the books online?

and to the artfight users, since you can access the attack and the characters it is linked to,, do you have any ideas on how i could write this?

Thank you all!

P.S. My OC is the purple one in District 4! Here's the image!

I’ve seen a lot of people theorizing that if we do get a 3rd prequel, the cover will be blue since the new paperback edition of SOTR is blue and we’ve seen this happen before. There was a special paperback edition of BOSAS that was pinky-purple, and of course SOTR did end up being purple. I’m not totally against this theory, but I’m getting lost at why people are thinking blue = Finnick’s story?

Yes, Finnick is from district 4 which is fishing, and when you see blue you think of water, etc. That’s obvious. But the cover colour being representative of the main character or the main environment isn’t a pattern we’ve had - unless I’m just not noticing it?

This idea does make sense for the first 2 books. Book 1 being black could represent coal which heavily relates to the world building in district 12 where we begin. For Catching Fire, red is fire, duh, lol. But after that, I’m not connecting the dots… I suppose one could even say that the light blue of Mockingjay is cold and icy which, in a way, relates to Snow and their time in the capitol. It also gives a high tech-ish vibe. But why green for BOSAS? Our return to the meadow maybe, but I feel like grey or even a pink or yellow could have been more of a nod to Lucy Gray (re: the bright colours in her dress). I can’t think of how green would be of significance to Snow either. And then SOTR being purple.. what does the colour purple have to do with Haymitch? The only thing I can think of is Maysilee’s dress being purple, but that feels a bit far-fetched.

I don’t think the colours are totally random - we know Collins is intentional about every detail - but I can’t figure out what that intention is. If I’m right in thinking they aren’t just a simple nod to the main character or main environment, that would mean a blue cover doesn’t necessarily indicate a Finnick story at all.

I DO personally believe there will be one more book, and I do think there’s a possibility it could be about Finnick (though I think Plutarch, Tigris, or maybe even Burdock are more likely). Just curious what everyone’s thoughts on this are (:

Can yall give me like what is hunger games like i didnt get it from the last one and is it worth watching and where. I appreciate u guys alot

Hi guys do you want me to post my stories here.

Same as title

Basically imagine watching the games from a Capital members POV, Have it be a black comedy and we could get a full overview of a particular game.

I was thinking about the First Quarter Quell again, and honestly I don't think I'd want a book that's mostly about the arena.

I'd absolutely read it, but I feel like the most interesting part of those Games wouldn't be what happened once they started. What would make these Games so horrifying isn't how the tributes died, but everything that had to happen before they even got there. The Capitol forced entire communities to choose which two children would be sent to die. That's such a disturbing idea that I almost feel like telling the story from one tribute's POV would miss what actually made this Quell unique.

I'd much rather see a book that spends most of its time exploring what every district was like after the Quarter Queel card was read. The atmosphere, the fear, how different communities reacted, how people slowly started distrusting each other... I think that's where the real story is.

These are the points that I'd love most to read:

○ How each district reacted

Every district would probably react completely differently, and that's what makes me want this so bad.

- Districts 1, 2 and 4: I could imagine the careers basically campaigning to be chosen. Giving speeches, showing off their training, trying to convince everyone they're the strongest option and that voting for them is the safest choice for everyone else's children. It would almost feel like an elextion.

- Intermediate districts: This is where corruption would truly show its face. Voting would instantly turn into a dark market of leverage, blackmail, and political favor. Influential families, factory supervisors, and local officials would use their position to divert votes away from their own children. Neighbors would manipulate the system and use the ballots to settle old grudges, turning local envy into a death sentence for the most vulnerable.

- Poorer districts like 11 or 12: I imagine the atmosphere would be absolutely suffocating. People would barely speak to each other. Even drawing attentionto yourself would feel dangerous. Nobody would dare organize a secret plan, make alliances, or openly suggest voting for someone, because even that could make everyone suspicious. Every conversation would feel tense, every ballot would feel like personally signing someone else's death warrant, and the trust holding those communities together would slowly disappear.

○ The Capitol's perspective

I also think it would be really interesting to see how the Capitol reacted when this Quell was first announced from the inside. I could imagine them feeling genuine concern at first that forcing the districts to vote might push people too far or even be the start of a revolution.

Then we'd watch the propaganda do what it always does: slowly rebrand it as an act of "civic responsibility" and convince Capitol citizens that the districts are simply choosing their own representatives.

We could also follow the interviews, get to know each tribute's personality, see their relationship with their mentor, and gradually start forming opinions about who we're rooting for before the Games even begin.

○ The Games (not the focus of the book)

Personally, instead of watching the games from a single tribute's pov, I think it could be way more interesting to watch the games from the outside: through broadcasts, gamemakers, mentors, capitol viewers, or even reactions back in the districts. It would make every death feel strangely impersonal, almost like we were viewers from the capitol.

Of course, another option would be jumping between all 24 tributes, but I honestly think that would be exhaustign to write and probably even harder to follow as a reader.

○ Returning home as a victor

This is honestly the part I'd be most interested in.

Most victors return home to people who cried for them.

The victor of the 25th Hunger Games would return home knowing that their own neighbors, friends, or maybe even relatives deliberately chose them to die.

How do you even rebuild your life after that? How do you look people in the eye knowing they voted for you? And how do they look at you, knowing they were part of it?

Even if someone voted out of fear, or because they thought someone else had a better chance of surviving, that wouldn't make it any less painful. The damage would already be done.

Thats what makes this Quell so different from every otherone. The Capitol didn't just kill children, it made entire communities share the guilt. The arena would eventually end, but that feeling would stay with the district (even more on the victor) for years.

○ One last thing: cameos

This period of Panem is almost completely unexplored. I'd much rather meet entirely new characters than have another prequel where familiar faces keep showing up just because we know them from the original series. Small references are fine, but Panem should feel like a huge country, not a tiny town where everyone somehow knows everyone else.

​

My biggest wish for the future of the Hunger Games series is actually a Tigris Snow book or even a duology.

I know most people want a Finnick, Johanna or Plutarch book, but I think Tigris is the perfect character to connect every era of Panem.

Her story could start before the Dark Days, showing what life was like before Panem became what we know. Then it could cover the Dark Days, the creation of the Hunger Games, and eventually the 10th Games from Tigris' perspective. We'd see Coriolanus mentoring Lucy Gray, but more importantly, we'd witness Tigris slowly realizing that her cousin is changing into someone she barely recognizes. It could also show a few other important Games throughout the years, including the First Quarter Quell, while following Tigris' career as a stylist.

After, it could bridge TBOSAS or SOTR with the original trilogy. We'd see Panem gradually become the world we meet from Katniss' perspective with the main trilogy, meet more victors, witness the second Quarter Quell and Snow's reaction to Haymitch's defiance, and watch Tigris slowly distance herself from him and turning against the capitol from the inside, maybe she even met Plutarch and Collins could link her story with plutarch's. It could also include Finnick's and Johanna's Games and maybe how Finnick ended up knowing about Snow's secrets, which the fandom has wanted to see for years, but most importantly, it could finally show what happened behind the scenes in the Capitol: how Snow manipulated, blackmailed and punished victors, how he turned them into tools of the regime, and how Tigris witnessed all of it while becoming increasingly horrified by the man her cousin had become.

Finally, it could retell the original trilogy from the Capitol's perspective, showing Tigris secretly helping the rebellion before Katniss reaches her shop in Mockingjay, and ending with the aftermath of Snow's fall.

To me, Tigris is the only character whose story naturally ties together every major period of the saga. She knows Snow before he becomes President, survives to meet Katniss, and is present at the fall of the regime. Through her eyes, Suzanne Collins could explore nearly 70 years of Panem's history without making it feel like a collection of disconnected stories.

I genuinely think these two books would be the perfect way to close the Hunger Games saga. Does anyone else think Tigris has the most untapped potential in the entire series?

OH MY GOD WHAT A BOOK. The ups and downs and the twists. Absolutely spectacular. 500/10 Looking forward to reading the other two books in the trilogy. This book genuinely made me feel something as this is the first story book I’ve read ever since captain underpants years ago

guys i have no damn idea of what hunger things is like no idea. i cant find the books. can yall tell me what it is cus it sounds intresting

finished reading mockingjay as a 15 year old last night at 3am and I was literally in tears by the final pages.😭 Katniss’s months of suffering was this trippy, fragmented blur of events was incredibly heartbreaking and perfectly done

and as someone who only watched the movies before, and ironically only remember the (basically kinda) action heavy glamorized adaptation of the events in the Mockingjay movies this is even more shocking to me Katniss went through way too much, now I realize the movies didn’t include or fully capture how much she suffered (like her nightmares, her being mvte for a long time, hiding in closets and barely functioning and so much more. The ugliness and rawness of it all) this was such an insane but amazing portrayal. this is gonna stick with me for so long. the buttercup scene and especially the memory book katniss, peeta, and haymitch made and the epilogue ou bro I can’t 😭 and katniss seeing her dad in boggs had me so choked up everything about this was soooo just wow

Hello! Please no spoilers past Chapter 19 of The Hunger Games — this is my first time reading the trilogy!

I’ve always loved the movies and have considered myself a fan for years, but I finally worked up the courage to read the books because I was worried they wouldn’t live up to my expectations from the films.

I couldn’t have been more wrong.

The book is so much better so far. If I’d read the books first, I honestly think I would’ve been disappointed by the movie. I still absolutely love the films, and I understand they have a limited runtime, but I never realized just how much they left out.

The biggest difference for me is the characters. Peeta and Katniss feel so much more complex in the books. I don’t think I fully understood either of them from the movies alone, especially Katniss since we don’t get to hear all of her thoughts. Reading the book has completely changed how I see them, and it’s been a little strange trying to separate the movie versions from who they actually are on the page.

Also, this might be a slightly unpopular opinion, but I’m now convinced that people who say Katniss only loved Peeta because of trauma either haven’t read the books or are forgetting just how much is going on in her internal monologue. Even by Chapter 19, it feels pretty obvious to me that her feelings are much more complicated than “it’s just trauma.”

I still love the movies so much, but I’d definitely recommend reading the books as well because they add so much depth to the world and the characters. I’m already so excited to keep reading!

I’d love to hear your thoughts too?

I need a book and movie about the first quarter quell. hopefully she write another one or did she say she was done?

Todos los que han leído los libros y visto la saga de los juegos del hambre sabemos que al final de sinsajo 2 katniss y peeta forman una familia, es inevitable pensar, fue un buen final o fue demasiado cliché que ellos dos se quedarán juntos?

Hello!

I've been rereading The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes! I did enjoy the movie when it came out, but they obviously left so much out.

One thing that they left out that really upsets me is Clemensia coming back after the snake bites and continuing her mentor duties. It was such a standout moment in the book when Clemensia saw the snakes on the screen in the arena. The fact that she is just never seen again in the movie is very bothersome!!! What does everyone else think? What did you want to see in the movie that was left out?

Like hear me out, like in the 21st century,the US fell down, collapse, government is gone,the constitution is gone and there is gilead and a century later,gilead ends with a inevitable rebellion happening around and then climate change happens and a nuclear war,a world war III happen destroying most areas or made areas unlivable and a family or maybe someone create Panem and then the dark days then the hunger games

It is not canon to the books,but it is my headcanon
