Hello, all. You may call me Amata. You may have noticed that there has been a significant reduction in my profile size as of late. I would love to be able to claim that I am trying to shift the focus of this page to my stories and not to me, but it's really more like shifting focus to all these lovely links for my story extras, and also for my sparingly-updated original fiction blog, Mapping Out a Sky. Now that we have gotten that out of the way, there are a few matters I would like to discuss regarding... oh, never mind, you can leave now. I really don't have all that much to say.

Just Another Arena- Lavinia wants so badly to be one of them, she's willing to lose everything for it. How the Avox girl came to be. Victor of February 2011 prompt, "envy."

Smoke and Mirrors- For Wiress, winning the Games is simple. Beat them at their own game: deception. Tribute for April 2011 prompt, "reality is wrong. dreams are for real."
