''The Starvation Sequence'' is a series of fanfictions based on ''Literature/TheHungerGames'' published on fanfiction.net by Penelope Wendy Bing. Each tells the story of an original Hunger Games. Two are currently completed, with the third in progress.
The series picks up with the first Hunger Games, directly after the end of the rebellion. Consecutive stories then build on this, fleshing out the early Games and especially the development of the Hunger Games themselves.
