I'm happy to see another part to this story.  I thought you did a great job with the characterization of Haymitch...now that we're meeting some of the characters from the books, they need to feel authentic. Your story fits in seamlessly. 
You can find my stories as Groobie on the nfic archives and Susan Young on the gfic archives. In other words, you know me as Groobie.

I have encouraged Anne to build up a buffer before starting to post again. I don't know if she will take my advice or not. If she does it could be some time until the next post, but as a result she will be on a more regular schedule for future chapters.
BTW: I am her beta so I might have some pull. The readers will benefit in the long run.

I thought you did a great job with the characterization of Haymitch...now that we're meeting some of the characters from the books, they need to feel authentic. Your story fits in seamlessly. Thanks. I looked at both the characterization in the books and Woody Harrelson's portrayal of Haymitch in the movies, then thought about how Haymitch might have interacted with other victors.

Enjoying this story, and look forward to more whenever you're ready. I haven't seen the movies nor read the books, and understand more of this universe from online summaries. That said, this story truly is wonderful.

So glad to see this chapter! The story is taking a turn in a totally different direction. I patiently await the next installments.

A writer's job is to think of new plots and create characters who stay with you long after the final page has been read. If that mission is accomplished than we have done what we set out to do, which is to entertain and hopefully educate.

Some updates on the story: Yes, it's been a while. Work got crazy busy, especially when the boss decided that the thing in my job description that says "Other duties as assigned" means that I should turn the library into an art gallery a couple of times a year. I'm done with that for this year, and now that I have some experience at setting up an art show, the next one should be easier. (His reasoning was that I have a "strong theatrical background" and should therefore be knowledgeable about other types of artistic endeavors.)
I have a few chapters written and am working on the rest of the Victory Tour. However, I am also in the middle of production of the Ramona Outdoor Play, which is being held the next three weekends, so that's taking up a lot of my spare time.
Hopefully, I will be able to start posting Panem again next month.
