Power to the People: The Thirty-ninth Hunger Games

Chapter 16

I see some people are concerned that certain Tributes are getting more time than others. I'm glad I have you to police me because I do mess up and I do tend to be absentminded. One time I forgot a Tribute wasn't dead and I still feel bad about it XD Don't hesitate to let me know whenever I neglect or forget someone, and don't hesitate to list specific names. Sorry to everyone I've neglected and I'm sorry for all the times I know I'll mess up in the future.

When it comes to the mentor and stylist chapters, I usually alternate between boys and girls and I write those chapters to advance the mentors and stylists. What that means is that I use whichever Tribute would have a more interesting interaction with their stylist. For the mentors, I make sure to use your Victors in whatever Districts have them. Two, for example, usually highlights the female Tribute because Pray is the only one of your Victors from there. I do make a note of which Tributes haven't been featured so I remember to add more for them later. And I do mean a literal written note in my file, because I'll forget otherwise.

Up next are the alliance chapters, so the Careers and any Tribute in an alliance will get a POV. Other Tributes will feature more heavily in the training sections and the chapter where I put in Capitol scenes. Most years I put more pre-Games POVs for Tributes I plan to kill in the Bloodbath, so eagle-eyed readers probably have a good idea of who's toast. This year I don't know who's dying, so I'll make sure everyone gets one. Once the Games start I keep a list up of all the Tributes and highlight ones I skip for a chapter so I go back later. I decide which Tributes will be featured before I start writing the chapter.

That's just a heads-up so you know I am aware of the problem and am working to fix it. Also now you know that the next few chapters are for alliances and will include certain Tributes, so I might know I need to feature a Tribute but they won't be in the very next chapter. I also plan to alternate any Districts with more than one of your mentors. Erwin met the Tributes on the train, so Sky will see them off in the tubes. If I forget and mess up, I will go back and alter the chapter.
