{ ++ } Hi y'all!  Brand new member here - and so super glad to have found this amazing community dedicated to Gale/Katniss!  (I'm pretty sure they're my OTP though Angel/Buffy are still giving them a run for their money.)  I'm looking forward to spending a lot of time here.  : )  I come bearing a fic! 

Title: We Found Each Other In the Dark
Word Count: 2, 270
Author: yourgravity
Summary:  Thread straightens, and turns, facing the assembled crowd, all of which are staring at him in cowed silence.  Gale has laughed with them, hunted with them, traded with them.  Several people have tears in their eyes, but haven’t made a move to help him.  And they are staring at him, wide-eyed - most have taken a few steps back, not wanting to be too close to what’s coming.  Gale can’t blame them.  This has always been his fight.  His people are good, strong, and solid.  It isn’t their fault they’re all too afraid to speak out, to make a difference.  It’s just how they’ve been conditioned to be. But he's never been like everyone else.  | Gale is whipped and holds on to memories of better times to get through it. 
Author's Note: This is how I imagine Gale's POV of his BA whipping.  And yes, this is what I consider my personal canon Gale.  I just, I adore him, and I can't help it.  For the most part I've tried really hard to keep him close to how he was in the books, but my own love for him has probably changed him just a bit.  Please let me know what you think!  This is a small portion of a longer, ongoing WIP withsofteyes.

• You MAY claim more than one table at a time.
• You MAY do crossovers, fusions, and AU fic! If you intend to write crossovers and/or fusions, claim the table for the MAIN WORK (so, for example, if you want to write 100 godly-parent-fusion fics, your claim would be “Percy Jackson,” unless all 100 fics would star characters from Anna and the French Kiss or something. SOME ASPECT of all 100 fics must be constant for the book/table you choose!)
• Fics can be ANY LENGTH. You may write 3-sentence fics, drabbles, one-shots, six-word-ficfests, whatever. The whole point is just to encourage more YA lit fic! :)

So far, there are just the first few tables up, but I will be adding my usual amount of ALL THE YA BOOKS.  :P  Join and/or Watch the
comm on LJ for updates, and make sure to suggest any book(s) that you may think I’ll miss or that you want to see sooner!
