The Girl of District 7

Sat, 22 Dec 2012 08:47:04 -0600

I finally got all 38 chapters of the story posted again! As I said before, I’m not sure how regularly it will be updated but if you all can be patient with me will get finished at some point. It actually hasn’t even been a year since this story started, which is really amazing considering it’s over 200,000 words already. Wowza. Thanks to everyone who kept on me about reposting this story and I’m sorry it took so long to get it back together. I was having a rough time there for a while :)

Here’s the link:

And my profile is therebelliondies2.0 because I’m not creative and didn’t want to try too hard :P

I was wondering if you were going to continue the Girl of District 7 fanfic? I really loved that story, it was one of my favorites. I sincerely hope you continue to write it.

I am, dear! Sorry, I’ve just been super busy lately with work and the two other stories I’ve been writing. I think it will be my goal to have it reposted on another account by this Saturday. I can’t promise new chapters will be frequent but I am going to try and finish it for you all!

Why isn't your Girl of District 7 on Fanfiction net anymore?

Hello anon!

I kind of took it down for several reasons; the first one being that my stats honestly told me no one was reading it anymore. I left it up for about a month, then I had an awful week at work and decided to take it down because I’m a hormonal teenager sometimes.

Anyway, I have been writing my two everlark fics currently so I didn’t have much time to dedicate to TGD7 and I didn’t think it would actually be missed. However, you’re the second person I’ve had ask me this now so I’ll most likely start reposting it soon on a different account. I have a lot of people author subscribed to me for everlark now and I don’t want to spam them with TGD7. As soon as I make an account though, I will post a note here!

I know that I disappeared for a while, but when I came back, The Girl of District 7 had completely...

I know that I disappeared for a while, but when I came back, The Girl of District 7 had completely been taken down. Now, I don’t know if I am crazy or what, but this really confuses me. I loved the story and kept waiting to hear about an update. But then none came (on your TGD7 Tumblr). I finally gave up waiting, and went to look for it. And now it is gone. Can you explain to me why/what happened to the story? I couldn’t find an explanation on your main blog/FF page either. ~emjay

Hey emjay! Good to hear from you again!

So here’s the low down on what happened:

I started writing ADAD a while back (about the middle of the summer) and it turned into a huge project- more so than I expected. It takes a lot of research to make a single chapter happen and so I was falling behind on TGD7. I kept trying to post regularly, but it was a struggle to keep up and honestly, the stats were telling me there wasn’t anyone reading it anymore. I also started a full time job which then cut into my update time further (boo real life). So, I held off for about a month and a half before taking the story down on both my ff.net and ao3.

I swear I wasn’t trying to disappear on you. No one asked about the story so I figured it was just like I thought and no on was reading it. So that’s where I am with that. I’m thinking about making a second FF.net account and reposting it. I hate to do it on my main account there because I have a bunch of people who subscribed to me as an author for everlark type updates and I don’t want to spam them with my non-everlark TGD7. Hope that helps to answer some of your questions! Feel free to send me any other questions or if you have a preference where I repost :)

Title: The Girl of District Seven-Rescue

Rating: M

Chapters: 39

Word Count: 239,219 (WIP)

Summary: Camellia from District 7 hasn’t had an easy life, the Capitol has made sure of that, but if she’s lucky, maybe she can find peace. Join her as she learns what it means to sacrifice everything for the ones she loves. Canon Compliant

Excerpt:

“Everything is okay, Camellia.” He continues to assure me as he rubs a hand over my back like I used to do for him when he was a little boy, “You’re safe here. We won’t let anything happen to you.”

His words are the last straw and the tears I have been holding back for months finally break free, flowing freely down my face as I cry silently into my brother’s shoulder. He shouldn’t be so strong. It’s my job to make him feel safe.

“I’m so broken, Ash.” I whisper as though admitting it is treason.

“I know, sissy.” He says softly and I realize he’s crying too. He hasn’t called me sissy since before mom and dad died. I knew my heart was shattered beyond repair before but now it feels like the tiny pieces are grinding themselves into my chest.

“You don’t have to be so brave.” Ash murmurs after a long pause of silence while we both continue to cling to each other. “You can talk to me about it.”

I shake my head into his shoulder, “Talking hurts.”

Home- Gabrielle Aplin

I just see this as a general theme for the entire series.

Fine By Me- Andy Grammer

Linden and Camellia

No Tears- James Blunt

I kind of imagine this song to be along very similar lines to Linden’s last thoughts in the arena.

Be Still- The Fray

Linden’s last song for Camellia.

Starlight- The Wailin’ Jennys

This one was sort of the theme song while I was writing the part leading up to and shortly after Camellia’s return from the Capitol.

Skinny Love- Birdy

While Camellia was in the Capitol, Rowan would sit alone at nights and silently hope that she would make it back alive so that he might help her heal.

The A Team- Ed Sheeran

Urela and Camellia’s theme in the Capitol

What If You- Joshua Radin

This song always reminds me of what Rowan was thinking about after he brought Camellia back from the club in the Capitol.

This Will Be Our Year- Nerina Pallot

This song reminds me of things when Camellia was first reunited with Ash and Holly but I also think it works well for their family’s little theme.

We Could Pretend- Ruth Moody

Camellia and Rowan were both lying to themselves for way too many chapters

One Day Like This- Elbow

Rowan after Camellia tells him she loves him too.

Birds of a Feather- The Civil Wars

This one reminds me of Camellia and Rowan when they’re angsty arguing with each other.

Chapters: 5

Summary: AU. Katniss is living in an over populated area of the city called the Seam. Join her as she traverses the hazards of living in industrial North America circa 1900 as she tries to protect her family.

Excerpt:

Prim is late. I try to keep my mind busy so I don’t think about what might have happened to her on her way home from school. Surely she simply lost track of time playing with her friends. My thoughts don’t do much to assure me though, as the hours grow later, and the sun starts to set over the city.

I’m sitting in the living room, stabbing fretfully at a frayed shirt seam when the door opens slowly. My eyes snap up instantly to see a mussed, tired-looking Prim. Her blue eyes are bloodshot and it’s clear to me that she’s been crying.

“Prim, are you alright?” I demand, standing hastily from my seat, my work spilling from my lap to the ground.

She nods slowly and shoots me a hesitant smile just as Peeta Mellark steps in behind her. I frown, taking in the scene before me- my teary eyed sister and the stately, broad-shouldered, and much older Peeta Mellark.

Sorry for the wait. I’ve been pretty stressed out lately (like getting tension headaches for the first time in my life) but I spent the day volunteering and now I’m curled up in bed with my blankets and in the relaxed writing mood. I’m not sure when it will be up but just know I’m type, type, typing for you.

Excerpt:

“Ash, you need to get up, now.” I order, throwing his bag down on the foot of his bed.

“Why?” He mumbles, sitting up and running a hand sleepily over his eyes, “What’s this?” He asks nodding toward the bag.

“It’s all your clothes.” I explain, my words coming out flat and staccato.

He frowns and moves to unzip the bag, letting out a surprised sound when he sees that I’ve told him the truth.

“Why?” He asks incredulously, looking up at me for the first time. His eyes widen.

“Camellia, what happened?” His voice is rife with panic.

I look down at my clothing and arms and remember with detached interest that I’m covered in blood. It’s dried now, crusting my hands and filling in the cracks in my skin. If I didn’t know it was someone else’s blood, I’m sure it would be a heart stopping sight.

“It’s not my blood, Ash.” I explain shortly. I think momentarily about going to wash it off but there’s really no time for that and good appearances are not necessary where we’re going. Every moment needs to be used to get us as far away from this district as possible.

“Holly,” I call, moving over to shake her awake, “Come on Holly. We need to get up and go for a walk.”

Excerpt:

“Do you remember when your father would bring us here as children and we would just watch the window for hours?” she asks, still gazing through the glass in front of them, a childlike smile on her face.

Peeta can’t help but smile at the happy memory as well, “I do. And Cora still worked at the house here and she would always have hot chocolate waiting for us when we got home.”

“And she always said we would catch our deaths from the cold and that your father shouldn’t let us stare at a window out in the cold for that long,” she finishes for Peeta with a light, sparkling laugh.

Delly Cartwright is, in every way, what a lady should be; refined, charming, kind, and gentle. She can make anyone feel special and, Peeta truly believes, she has never said a mean word about anyone in her life. She is also quite beautiful, finally having lost the last of her baby fat over the last summer.

Peeta’s mother had mentioned her good looks in passing a few times since he returned from the cottage and he can’t deny that she is lovely. However, he still can’t see her as anything other than a dear friend; almost like a sister. Peeta gets the impression that his mother has other plans however. She’s been slipping in sly comments about how the Cartwright’s money from the meatpacking mill would improve the Mellark’s comfort tremendously.

Peeta shakes his head at this. He had no intention to marry out of convenience and he thinks Delly would agree with him. It would be too strange to be a husband to her after so many years of acting as a brother.
