For whatever reason, this reminds me of The Hunger Games *FFR Version*.

Re: FFR Fanfiction: Part I

@danceguy yes i do! i spend a lot of free time writing various things (poetry and short fiction mostly but i'm also wrapping up a first novel and write for my college's newspaper)

@wc don't fret, you're in this :P

For whatever reason, this reminds me of The Hunger Games *FFR Version*.

i've never read/seen the hunger games but the similarity is probably no coincidence. the hallmarks of this kind of genre (districts! police state! large-scale violent spectacle!) are so cliche it's almost embarrassing to write, but it's still a really fun exercise to try and do it as well and entertainingly as possible

FLASHJOURNAL ENTRY #2
5.12.2067
6:15 A.M.

I am intrigued by a book of poems on my shelf. It tells of a colorful time long past. It tells of something or someplace called Seasons, where it does not always get dark at 3PM and the air is not always so brisk. Where leaves on the trees change and fall in beautiful ways, depending on what time of year it is. The book is on the blacklist, but I have had it for as long as I can remember. Were I of lower standing within the Regime my ownership of it would be a bannable offense. Midare says the author, Cosmo Star, was a radical and a hack not worth listening to. He says that he himself could write better poems in minutes. But Midare was something of a radical once too.

Midare is one of my two ex-Chancellor apartmentmates. He works with me now in the Department of Accuracy Training. The other is JX. No one sees JX for the most part, as he works in the shady administrative offices and mostly keeps to himself. He is known for having popularized the technicality mandates and for having resigned from the Council in protest when live musical instrumentation was banned from Simfile creation by the Kommisar in 2060. He had nothing to say about the book of poems.

FLASHJOUNRAL ENTRY #3
5.12.2067
4:00 P.M.

I was called out of work today to consult for an emergency session of the Council. I was to provide testimony before the Chancellors regarding the history and constitutionality of the use of bombs in official Simfiles. At the palatial, well-guarded congressional building I flashed my Orange Grade identification card and was promptly admitted and guided by two colossal, simple-looking security guards in suits to a chamber reserved for former Chancellors and expert witnesses. We passed two other chambers, the first filled to bursting with commoners who had been waiting for days or weeks for a verdict on their Simfile submissions. They were ragged and hungry and uneducated, babbling nervously but aglow with the hope that they might someday get to see their work featured for a couple minutes in the official Games. The second chamber was far primmer. Ten or twelve busily blinking monitors lined the walls, each with a headphone-wearing digital music composer facing it. They toiled for hours at a time but were well compensated for their work: the songs they composed were the very foundation of Simfile creation and the Games themselves. The Kommisar oversaw them, barking orders as we passed.

After what seemed like miles of corridor we reached the expert witness chamber. I thanked my escorts and went into the small, well-ornamented room to find a smattering of chairs and a screen displaying a live-feed of all the Council's doings. There was only one other person there: a short, bespectacled man who sat enraptured with the television set, commenting on the current testimony under his breath. He had a FlashJournal in front of him and was scribbling vigorously. When the door closed behind me he looked up. "Who are you?" he demanded. I told him who I was, and he was quiet for a while. He seemed very serious.

"Moses Kim," he said at last. "Regime ID Moches. Representative for the People's Chancellors, here to report the Light Chancellors' findings on the use of bombs. How do you do?"
