Unto the Labyrinth: Chapter 16 (Victory: Part 2) is now up!

“So, Maze,” Caesar began once everyone was situated, “How does it feel, being back in the Capitol and knowing you’re the Victor of the 57th Hunger Games?”

“I…” Maze began. Everyone was silent, clinging on to her every word. “It…it doesn’t quite feel real. Like a dream.”

It was the truth. Nothing quite felt real anymore.

“You’re living the dreams of many people, Miss Donahue,” Caesar replied. “I hope you realize that.”

“It’s more of a nightmare, really.”

Summary: “Maze Donahue always thought she would be lonely forever. No one wanted to be friends with a troublesome orphan with a penchant for pranks. But when the unthinkable happens and she is Reaped for the 57th Hunger Games, she is shocked to find people taking an interest in her for the first time ever - the Capitol, her mentor Beetee, and even other tributes. She must deal with the impermanence of this social support, including the deaths of her allies, and try to survive the horrors of the Hunger Games and all that comes afterwards.

But no matter what, she won’t ever be alone again.”

This is what I was referring to in my previous post by the way!!!!

All of my fics have been scraped :(

AO3 has been scraped, once again.

As of the time of this post, AO3 has been scraped by yet another shady individual looking to make a quick buck off the backs of hardworking hobby writers. This Reddit post here has all the details and the most current information. In short, if your fic URL ends in a number between 1 and 63,200,000 (inclusive), AND is not archive locked, your fic has been scraped and added to this database.

I have been trying to hold off on archive locking my fics for as long as possible, and I've managed to get by unscathed up to now. Unfortunately, my luck has run out and I am archive locking all of my current and future stories. I'm sorry to my lovelies who read and comment without an account; I love you all. But I have to do what is best for me and my work. Thank you for your understanding.

😈 for the writing asks

And 🦅 too. seems appropriate for blue bird writing :)

😈 Has there been a point in a story where you did something just to be playfully mean to your readers?

I’d say Chapter 3 and 4 of Ties of Blood and Water are just that. Putting poor Roderich through hell hehehe :P (he only kind of deserved it)

🦅 Do you outline fics or fly by the seat of your pants?

I’m an outliner! The only exception to this is The Town of Anywhere, which isn’t fully outlined but I have the next 10 or so chapters outlined

So, upon reading Sunrise on the Reaping, I’d like to congratulate Unto the Labyrinth for officially now being canon-divergent and an AU.

I’m a little pissed that SotR messed up UtL’s story trajectory so bad, especially with Beetee, but whatever.

I’ll release an official statement when I post the next chapter of Unto the Labyrinth

Chapters: 32/?

Rating: Teen and Up

Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings

Pairings: Many minor pairings, read the tags

Summary: “On the east coast of the US, there is a small town called Anywhere, where some of our favorite fictional characters keep washing up on the beach, often injured, with no memory of where they came from and who they are, the only clues to their past identities being the clothes they washed up in, their own names, and the strange feelings and dreams they occasionally have. Soon enough, they settle into their new life, but the questions still remain: who were they? And why are they here?”
