Welcome to Mockingjay.net, the most visited source on the web dedicated to the Hunger Games! We were founded in July of 2009, before the title of the third book had been announced. We're here to have fun with other Hunger Games fans with discussion, contests, the Jabberjays podcast, and an up to date news blog that covers anything related to the books or the upcoming film that is being made by Lionsgate.

Title: The Hunger Games Premiere
Author: laxgoal31
Summary: The very first Hunger Games. Follows the story of a boy named Corran Skirata, who is originally from District 13, now living in District 12. Also includes ancestors of characters in the actual book, as well as background on the major rebellion of Panem.

Excerpt: I hear my uncle’s voice from the sitting room, “Corran. Come in here. I want you to see this; it concerns you.” He sounds serious. Something about the tone in his voice makes me instantly release Aden and go into where he is.

He points at the old television. “Look at the news.”

The TV is showing the national news. The Capitol reporter, a pierced man with blue hair is saying “…as a result of the uprising against the Capitol by the thirteen Districts of Panem, the Capitol has instituted the Hunger Games. The Hunger Games will be a mandatory contest between twenty-four tributes, two from each remaining District, one boy and one girl each. The ages of the competitors will range from twelve to eighteen. The twenty four will compete to kill each other in a vast outdoor arena, with only one remaining victorious. More details to follow.”

Uncle Dane shuts off the TV. His face looks haggard and worn as he says to me, “Well, what do think of that?”

“It’s awful,” I say. “Taking kids from each District and forcing them to kill each other in a bloody fight to the death? Only the Capitol would think of something that cruel.”

Uncle Dane muses, “It certainly does send a message: We won’t kill you; we’ll kill your children. And it’s all because of the rebellion. You know, the memories of your parents deserve better than this.”
