Lorata is a fan fiction author who is best known for her We Must Be Killers series.

We Must Be Killers casts a Sympathetic P.O.V. on the District 2 victors, emphasizing their sense of duty and community and sometimes their messed up early lives. Their Family of Choice can feel really sweet at times, even as other stories (particularly ones showing games) make it clear that they can be pretty callous toward people outside of District 2. Many of the stories focus on a Perspective Flip of the last two books as the District 2 victors (and victors in general) become a Dwindling Party. The Grand Finale of the series is an alternate universe Fix Fic where a benevolent Renegade Splinter Faction from Coin's rebellion steps in to change history and save the lives of many previously doomed characters, especially victors.

The series also has a handful of non-District 2 centered THG stories, and the author has written one-shots for other franchises, such as Wynonna Earp, Stranger Things, and, surprisingly enough, Macdonald Hall.

The We Must be Killers series is cited as one Antony444's favorite works, and something which helped inspire him while he was writing The Victors Project.

With a handful of Lighter and Softer exceptions, expect an emotionally rich, yet extremely dark ride whenever you start one of her stories.
