The Hunger Games Fan Club 2.0

:D Joining! Though, I didn't enjoy Catching Fire and Mockingjay nearly as much as the first book, but...they still were cool!

Also, a HG RP would be awesome, as would a mafia game.
 
I was pissed when Katniss rejected Gale. I loved him! he was awesome!

I... I need someone to help me learn teh basics and stuff of mafia before I could join one ;.;
As for RP's, I haven't joined one since 2009 on the then-small-and-not-yet-massive-or-filled-with-annoying-10yearolds Offical boards for the Warriors series, but I suppose I'd be interested!

@Opal, you present half a bajillion points so I'll start off with one so I can handle it; the worldbuilding, in particular the cake making bakery. The bakery itself is a very small plot point and I thought there was only bread, but my memory's foggy and I /think/ there may have been cake? Anyway, my point was that worldbuilding doesn't have much effect, at least on the first book, because the vast majority takes place in the arena, which is in my opinion decently developed. Then there's the fact it was meant for like, 12 - 17 year olds and isn't going to be great anyway. :P I think what it receives the most attention and praise for are the games themselves and the action/competition associated with them. It's by no means the best written and developed series of it's genre, it simply has a wider and more commercial appeal I suppose... Think of it as the Katy Perry song of the literary world; won't win a ton of awards but its catchy and sells like fire, and by the end of the year everyone knows it inside and out.

I think this should be discussed in a separate thread in entertainment or something? :D Instead of PM, that way a lot of people could be involved at once!

I have to protest! Good young adult fiction is some of the best literature out there, period. Just because it's aimed at a younger audience is no excuse for it to be bad. :D

Edit: Oh wow, make that six! This club is surprisingly more popular than I thought it would be.

Someone told me they didn't like who was cast, but I don't much care so long as the movie's good.
 
Epic? Epic?

Massive understatement!


Unrelatedly, I had a thought thats been bugging me: I've always pictured Katniss as being kind of pale and having freckles and being a ginger, contrary to her "official" appearance. Does anyone else disregard the "official" appearances of characters in books? I don't think my imagination ever hits the official appearance spot on.

This so much. My mental picture of Katniss(or any character in books who don't have a movie/I haven't seen the movie of it) is completely different from what the official description of the character is.
 
I seem to remember thinking Gale had blue-green eyes and tousled brown hair, but I don't recall his "official" description. Man, I like him way too much. I mean, I should probably like Peeta more than Gale.
 
joining a club for some of my favorite books ever

yeah, I always imagine people in books differently from the official apperance (well, except Harry Potter, but other that that yeah)
 
Yesyesyes You were wonderful Rue why did you have to die?! Well I suppose that's what I get for liking secondary characters best. Cause look what happened to Gale.
