A Guide to Not Making Your Tribute Suck, published on Fanfiction.net began as Exactly What It Says on the Tin. Originally posted a straightforward list of dos and don'ts (but mostly dont's) in the creation of original characters in The Hunger Games Fandom, it had gone through several evolutions, both at the author's whim and in attempts to better conform to the Fanfiction.net content guidelines.Currently, the story features an actual plot, centering around Gamemaker Deyna Balthazar. As the Only Sane Employee, he tries to teach his fellow Gamemakers how to choose tributes that won't make the public suspect the reaping are less than random. Eventually he leads them on a Sue-hunt through the internet, joined by a Parody Sue they nickname Spot.The story was written by FoalyWinsForever, but has since been deleted. The former link to the fanfic can be found here. |

No Fourth Wall |
| | A Guide to Not Making Your Tribute Suck (Fanfic) / int_3b4f620a |
comment |
No Fourth Wall: Throughout the fanfic, Deyna addresses the audience and the fandom regularly, advising them against writing powerhouses. It gets more overt in the second chapter, to the point Deyna straight up notes that the story has no respect for the fourth wall. Then it goes on to break the 0th wall so the cast can go look at other fanfics. By chapter 3, the characters are interacting with the narrator. |

comment |
Purple Prose: The story's longest non-dialogue paragraph is the description of Spot's appearance when she first appears, containing gems such as her "shimmering violet eyes like amethysts that you could drown in" and hair that is somehow both "a midnight raven licorice black with a hint of onyx" and "as blonde as wheat and sunshine" at the same time. |
