The Writers' Games: The Phoenix

Round 1: The Reaping

I am President Fantasy, and welcome, one and all, to the first challenge of the Phoenix Games. But before we get to the massacring your fellow tributes and winning eternal glory, we must start with the basics. Just how exactly, did you get to this wonderful place known as the Capitol?

And please, do not say the train, that’s just lame.

We want to know about your Reaping. What was going through your mind when your name was pulled out of that little see-through container? Fear? Excitement? Pride? Or maybe it wasn’t pulled out, and you willingly entered our Games.

We would like to know what was going through that teenage mind at that moment in time, and what you were thinking.

The other Presidents and I would love to hear these stories of yours. Please tell us more about your Reaping.

AND there will be one winner, of our own deciding, who will gain immunity in the next round when the first eliminations take place. All you have to do……is describe your Escort’s grand Capitol grade outfit in stunning detail. Whoever’s we like the best, will be the winner.

But as all Games go, we have rules, please read in the bold print below to see them.

This has been a message from your very own President Fantasy. Thank you! {Insert awesome Capitol theme song here}

To avoid any confusing with having to come up with your escort's name, we have created them for you! Yay! Feel free to laugh, we know they are weird and have very punny names. :D
