betaplease:
Pen name: foxinthestars
Fandom: The Hunger Games (I work in an AU that only takes the first two books as canon)
Rating & Warnings: T or R - the sex isn't explicit and I don't think the violence is too graphic, but I do have sexual abuse, social rejection/shunning, contemplation of suicide, etc.
Length: ~26k
Alpha/Beta Type: Theme, structure, flow, worldbuilding, character... More macro-level than final polish type stuff. Canon-check (given parameters above). Some specific issues noted in the doc.
Harshness: I've been very nervous around this project, so a supportive tone is appreciated.
Formats: I can share on Google Docs or e-mail an RTF; let me know if you need something else.
Dark, angsty prequel from Finnick Odair's POV when he's 17 years old and his life has been thoroughly ruined. Mags plays a pivotal role. Other canon characters appear in cameos. Lots of supporting-cast OCs and worldbuilding, particularly around District 4.
Comment or PM me if you're willing to take a look. Thanks!
EDIT: Okay, I tried to do a proper summary:
On the occasion of his third Reaping as a victor, Finnick reflects on his life and on the price of his victory. Caught between a Capitol that forces him to be its toy and a District 4 that shuns him as a disgrace, he needs the love and guidance of his mentor to show him a way forward.
