Why is it I can’t decide this time?

This is how I picture Gale one day. And yep, I think it's kinda hot...

When it comes to books it has always been easy for me to choose which characters I liked most, which ones I hated and which ones just annoyed the crap out of me (Hello there, Bella Swan!). I loved Gandalf and Aragorn, the elves and the hobbits in Lord of the Rings. I kinda liked Snape because I always had the feeling that he had a secret and was one of the good ones deep down. I loved Dumbledore. I wanted Harry to get Ginny in the end. It wasn’t hard for me to choose between Team Edward and Team Jacob. So how come I just can’t decide if I want Katniss to end up with Peeta or with Gale? I like both! In real life I would probably rather fall for the dark Gale type but in the books… hard to say. I like that Peeta makes delicious cookies and wonderful cakes. How he tries to protect Katniss and the way they go to sleep together to keep the nightmares away.

Artificial arm anyone? Yep, check! Hot? Uhm, I don't know...

Okay, he has an artificial leg, but let’s not linger on this. Unless you think artificial legs are cool, then add it to the pro list… In the case of Gale, I love how he cares for his family. And all those hunting trips with Katniss. Plus guys with bows and stuff are kinda hot. I gotta admit my heart broke a little when he finally decided to confess his love to Katniss but it was too late. Maybe there will be something in the third book (when it finally comes out) that makes it easier for me to choose one of the two. In case there is not, I can only think of one solution: Making a pro and contra list! Cause that’s how you should make difficult decisions. Always. Trust me. Of course I could just say I like them both equally but I don’t think Katniss will be allowed to marry them both once she is older, right? Right???

So who is your favorite? And why? Do you like Peeta’s artificial leg? Or rather Gale’s snares? Or are you just like me and for some reason can’t decide? Let me know! Leave a comment or send an e-mail!

The Hunger Games FanArt Gallery Vol.1

Okay, I knew I sooner or later had to talk about this, so why not sooner? Fan art is always kind of a touchy subject. There are the people who create it and out endless effort and time into it on one hand. On the other hand we got those who completely dislike it cause they think it sucks. Badly. And to be honest, they got a point there. Most of it does suck. Badly. But then sometimes you stumble across something you actually like. So to keep this light and nice enjoy the first of a series of Fan Art Gallery posts. This time only with pictures I really kind of like!

Yep, only two. But those are my favorites of all the fan art pics I could find. I really love those! So that’s it for now.

So what do you think about fan art? Love it? Hate it? Are you by any chance one of the people who created one of those fantastic pictures or something similar? Tell me about it! Leave a comment or e-mail me!

Less than 7 months to go until book 3 comes out!

Okay, I admit it. I messed it all up and forgot to make a special post for the 7 months until book three mark. Cause that would have been yesterday, january 24th. I apologize. To make up for it I decided the following:

I, FyreSparks, editor in charge of the wonderful The District13 Post, solemnly swear to make a special post at the upcoming marks for 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 months until the third Hunger Games book comes out. Plus a super special, uber spectacular post for the day that I’ll finally hold my own copy of it in my hands!

Hope you’re all satisfied with this vow. So watch out dear The District13 Post readers, something HUGE is coming your way! 😉

a

6 months and 30 days to go!

Wondered why I didn’t make a special post? Well, I simply forgot. So next time something like this happens, remind me by sending an e-mail! Kthxbye 😉

Find the perfect Hunger Games cast on Youtube… or maybe not

As I promised in the Alex Pettyfer post, here are some of the videos about the perfect Hunger Games cast I watched on Youtube so far. There are about 150 more to go… So here we go!

Okay, if Mike Welch plays Gale I’m so NOT gonna watch this movie. Plus half of those people are too young to play anyone’s parent. Just saying.

No, Taylor Lautner should NOT play Gale. Period. He’s already Jacob so he simply can’t be Gale as well. But I love Jack Nicholson as Haymitch here. Cause in that picture he So looks like a drunkard… 😉

Okay, I guess two is enough for now. Maybe I should start a series and post a few “cast” videos every two weeks or so. What do you think? Who would be your favorite actors for a Hunger Games movie? You can leave a comment or e-mail me!

Go to Youtube to watch the rest of the 190 videos if you got nothing else to do 😉

Alex Pettyfer – is he everyone’s Peeta?

Peeta with a six-pack? Uhm, yes please!

This is my first real post here (I don’t count “Welcome to The District13 Post” cause that was merely an introduction). So when I had finished the books and read that Lionsgate wanted to turn the Hunger Games into a movie, I headed over to Youtube and watched thirty-four a few of the “my favorite cast for the Hunger Games” videos. And what really stunned me was the fact that EVERYONE chose Alex Pettyfer as Peeta. To be honest, I looked him up on IMBD cause I didn’t really know who he was. Yeah, sorry. So what is it about him that makes him everybody’s Peeta?

Dude, what happened to your nose?

Okay, he’s blonde. And yes, there are definitely pics of him where he looks hot (Damn that guy has abs!). Only thing that confused me: Uhm, can anyone tell me what happened to his nose? Cause in my mind Peeta did NOT have a broken nose that healed badly. I mean, Alex’ nose looks kind of crooked here… So what happened? Either it’s just the light or Alex had indeed a broken nose. Whatever, if he keeps looking hot like that I might consider him as my personal Peeta as well. We can still pretend there had been an accident in the bakery or that his mother slapped him in the face so hard after he had given the bread to Katniss that his nose got damaged. Don’t worry Alex, if we really want you as the boy with the bread we’ll find an excuse for that. Promise.

Hey Alex, think about doing a hot photoshoot anytime soon. Just saying.

So what do you think about Alex Pettyfer? Is he your Peeta too? What is your personal dream-cast for the Hunger Games movie? Let me know please! Send me an e-mail or just leave a comment! Oh, and does anyone know what it is with his nose?

Welcome to The District13 Post – The first Hunger Games Newsletter

Okay, to be honest this is not a real newsletter. It’s merely a blog to talk about Hunger Games news, videos, thoughts… basically everything that comes to my mind an concerns Suzanne Collins’ Hunger Games books. And I named it The District13 Post cause I like to pretend that it’s the newspaper from the mysterious District 13. Like The Washington Post. Only a bit less serious ifyouknowwhatimean. The reason why I decided to start this blog? I read the books and I loved them. I was completely captivated. But since we have to wait more than half a year for the third book to be published, I tried to get my “fix” online. Wanna know what I found? Uhm, not that much to be honest… There are thousands of Twilight-blogs but only about twenty sites dedicated to the Hunger Games? Seriously? don’t get me wrong, I’m not hating on the Twi-blogs here as I may or may not read some of them frequently. I just couldn’t understand why there are so few Hunger Games blogs. Guess the number will explode as soon as the movie comes out though. Cause we know there will be a movie sooner or later. And I hope that it will not suck… Keep your fingers crossed! In the meantime I try to post something new here maybe not every single day but as often as I can manage. You know, I still got a real life and stuff… 😉

So let’s get it started

Yep, I wrote fire with a “y”. No, it’s no accident, I did this on purpose. Cause I like it better that way plus it’s my blog and I’m kind of the editor in charge, so I can make the rules here 😉 Might take me a few days to get the blog completely set up and to make it all look nice and stuff, sorry! I’ll hurry, promise! Meanwhile, why don’t you just leave a comment?
