yay! I'm glad you liked it!

The movie totally worries me too! Especially Mockingjay, i feel that it could easily slip into an R rating if done right, and I know that they are going to keep in Pg-13... I'm trying to think positive about the movie though-even though I hate their choices for the actors. bleh

I sorta ship all the couples? lol. Canon wise: Peeta/Katniss (my otp), Finnick/Annie but also Finnick/Johanna, Gale/Johanna (second otp), Haymitch/Effie.
Also, here are the links to two awesome authors. Electrumqueen (http://electrumqueen.livejournal.com/tag/fic%3A%20the%20hunger%20games) and Aimmyarrowshigh (http://aimmyarrowshigh.livejournal.com/26541.html#cutid8)

PEETA AND KATNISS FOREVER!!! gahh, i have so many feelings for these two. not only did suzanne collins give them an emotionally raw canon relationship, but she left a lot of good source material for fandom to expand on.

I have just the thing for you!! Unrecorded History (http://hollycomb.livejournal.com/209359.html) Here is a little teaser "Where are you going?” he shouts. She doesn't answer, waiting to see if he'll chase after her and tackle her to the ground. She wants him to. He doesn't.
It expands on Peeta and Katniss's return to D12.
There is also Those Who Wait (http://users.livejournal.com/wisteria_/1016038.html) which starts with the great sentence The first time he tries to bake bread, Peeta discovers that he can’t remember how.

I bet you could write something super epic for Peeta/Katniss too!
No pressure tho

it is really good. i liked it a lot. i think the movie is coming out in a couple of months so it'll be really interesting to see how well they follow the book. :) but yes, i do recommend it.

(also, i sent you an email really early this morning my time with the first chapter of what we're working on! :)

I'm just commenting again because I thought Anna and the French Kiss was so so cute without being cliche, and Frankenstein was the bane of my existence when I tried to read it.
