Graphic Depictions of Violence, Major Character Death
Relationships: OC & OC, Beetee Latier & OC
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.”
The Zero Comment Challenge is a way for readers to find new stories and reach out to authors they want to encourage.
Every fandom has stories that get lost in the shuffle. Maybe they were posted during a busy time and didn’t get much attention. Maybe the author didn’t tag as effectively as they could have to get their story in front of the audience it was intended for. Maybe the fandom is just really shy so they leave kudos instead of comments.
The Zero Comment Challenge is meant to find those authors and give them some love. Go to the AO3 search and filter by comments, then look at the fics that don’t have any comments at all. Find one that looks interesting to you and let the author know what you thought. They get to meet a new reader and you get to find new fic. Everyone wins!

Relationship: Anya Forger & Loid Forger
Summary: “Anya's on a mission to get the new Spy Wars comic books, and she'll do anything to get them. Anything.”
Beetee’s hollow, despaired eyes at his final interview would not leave her mind. The eyes of a man — no, a boy — who had just witnessed an entire week full of horrors. The eyes of a boy who knew that out of the twenty-four sent into the arena, he was the sole survivor. The eyes of a boy who had to live with the fact that he had murdered six other teenagers.
Now, across the table, a calm, collected man sat and ate his dinner. There was no trace of the despair he once had anywhere on him.
Maze wondered just how Beetee had learned to live with it all. How he managed to compartmentalize his negative emotions and memories from the Games. Or if he hadn’t and just learned to mask it well.
She wanted to know what made him tick.

You gotta read wips. You gotta read stories that have been abandoned or haven't been updated in weeks, months, years. You have to give a story a chance even on the chance it never gets finished. The biggest reason besides personal stuff for a story to get abandoned is the lack of engagement. A comment is sometimes all it needs for a new chapter, even years later. Read that wip from 2017 that never saw the final chapter. Leave a comment that you loved it. Subscribe to the story. Sometimes you need to appreciate the things that never got finished, and perhaps make an author's day that someone loved their story despite that. Comment on wips. Comment on every chapter. It makes a difference.
Just realized that I’ve never posted Tales from the Labyrinth on here 😳 post incoming soon
Send me a word, if it’s in my wip document I’ll answer your ask with the sentence that it appears in
