''The 61st Annual Hunger Games'' by Creator/EJ Kearney, is a Fanfic that takes place in the universe of Literature/The Hunger Games. The main [[TheProtagonist protagonist]] is Barley Mayes, a 15-year-old girl from District 9 (''no'', not ''that'' [[Film/District 9]]) reaped to participate in the 61st [[DeadlyGame Hunger Games]]. However, there are other characters to get a [[PointOfView POV]] ([[JerkWithAHeartOfJerk Caspian Hadala]], [[DarkActionGirl Clarisse]], [[MentorArchetype Sylva Mayleaf]], [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Maximus]], and [[IneffectualLoner Sarahva Boor]]). Barley is allied with her district partner, [[NiceGuy Dagan Starche]], as they try to survive the Games together. But as they progress and they witness several horrors, they start to wonder: is emerging victorious any better than losing?

* IllegalReligion: ''All'' religion is banned in [[CrapsackWorld Panem]]. At least, all religions that mention a God, but hardly anybody outwardly adheres to a religion anyways [[AllOfTheOtherReindeer just to be safe]], as repercussions are severe. The reason for godly religions being banned is because President Snow [[AGodAmI does not want anyone to believe that there is a being more powerful than him]].



* OocIsSeriousBusiness: Usually, Barley's stylist Martin Cella is ignorant to the needs and problems of the tributes. He treats the Games as whimsical effects with no negative effects.

''The 61st Annual Hunger Games'' by Creator/EJ Kearney, is a Fanfic that takes place in the universe of Literature/The Hunger Games. The main [[TheProtagonist protagonist]] is Barley Mayes, a 15-year-old girl reaped to participate in the 61st Hunger Games. However, there are other characters to get a [[PointOfView POV]] ([[JerkWithAHeartOfJerk Caspian Hadala]], [[DarkActionGirl Clarisse]], [[MentorArchetype Sylva Mayleaf]], [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Maximus]], and [[IneffectualLoner Sarahva Boor]]). Barley is allied with her district partner, [[Dagan [[NiceGuy Dagan Starche]], as they try to survive the Games together. But as they progress and they witness several horrors, they start to wonder: is emerging victorious any better than losing?

The fourth book is a prequel starring the future president of Panem, Coriolanus Snow. The story picks up in the lead up to the 10th Hunger Games, 64 years before the events of the first book. During the war, his family’s assets in District 13 were destroyed, leaving them poor. He jumps at the chance to pilot the tribute mentor program (although at this point, it’s done by the top preforming seniors at his high school) in hopes to be able to use the prize money to pay for university as well as to restore his family’s name and prestige. However, everything goes awry when he gets assigned a strange girl from District 12 as his mentee.
