[The Hunger Games]

[icarus-abides.livejournal.com]

YES. 150% YES. TO ALL OF IT.

Thank you for not making me feel so lonely :)

A lot of the fandom are recycled Twilight fans so I'm not surprised.

[(Anonymous)]

When I first found out these books had a fandom I was super excited. I thought it would be about post-war society and the effects of a culture constantly in "survival mode" and the consequences of growing up in such a culture. I thought it would be about a kickass female character and the amazing politics of the book. When I first actually encountered the fandom and people kept talking about the love triangle I was so confused, because to me there was no love story or even triangle in these books.

So yeah, I'm going to see a movie about people kicking ass and creating a revolution and overthrowing their corrupt government and hopefully lots of bloody violence.

[fauxkaren.livejournal.com]

IA IA IA. Don't get me wrong, I do ship Katniss/Peeta. But Peeta vs Gale is like not anywhere near the point of the book. The shipping is actually about the politics and the oppressive regime and choice and free will etc etc. It's not about who gets the girl.

[courageousyouth.livejournal.com]

Hey someone else who doesn't worship Peeta! I don't hate him, or anything, I just found him ... to perfect? I like characters with a lot of flaws. Hence my love of Katniss. I dunno, to me the books were never about how much she loved Peeta or Gale -- they were about how much she loved Prim. Everything she does is for her.

And yes, oh my god, do I wish there were more fics that explored the political aspects and this postwar life. I've had a hard time finding any decent fic, so if anyone has any recs, throw them my way? I don't mind pairings, so long as they're not the central aspect of the fic.

[roguebelle.livejournal.com]

It would be entirely impossible of me to give LESS of a fuck about the ships in this fandom. It's so ship-less for me. When I read it, I perceived these books as the antidotes to typical teen love triangle drama. I loved how Katniss is all like "Okay, whatevs, you bros can posture at each other if you want but I kind of have survival crap to get on with and people to protect. There is no room for this nonsense in my life." I hate hate hate hate hate when people try to make it about the love triangle just so it can have Twilight "appeal".

[intrigueing.livejournal.com]

I long ago decided that if I ever somehow through some crazy stroke of luck wind up writing popular fiction professionally, I will never, ever, ever, ever, EVER put a love triangle in it. Never, ever, no matter what, no matter why, no matter how well it fits the story, because I know that no one will care about anything in the story besides that.

I think this kind of thing is also singlehandedly responsible for my utter loathing of guy/girl/guy triangles in fiction.

[(Anonymous)]

IA. Fandom has made me hate Peeta.
(not that I was ever really a fan of him in the first place.)
But I'm with you anon.

[(Anonymous)]

Now I've only read the first book, but seriously, the shipping is not the point.

What I loved about the first book is that she is that classic, strong, young adult heroine. I'd hate to see her reduced to the point of a love triangle.

Gale really could have been cut out of the first movie if they weren't doing the sequels.

[nomorefrostbite.livejournal.com]

omg ANOTHER secret about how the fandom is obsessed with the love triangle nonsense!!
There seem to have been so many lately.

I think i'm clearly just hanging in the RIGHT (and maybe obscure secret) parts of fandom, because nobody I know gives a damn about ships or peeta or anything other than ass kicking, politics, and past victors.

I have yet to witness the crazy of shippy fangirls, but I dread the day I do.

[writerserenyty.livejournal.com]

I am a HUGE shipper in other fandoms, and shipping is a big interest with me. But I'm reading The Hunger Games for the first time now, and I honestly don't care about ships.

(I do like Peeta, though).

[(Anonymous)]

Yes. I don't mind the ships, but they are so not the point at all.

[palex-4-ever.livejournal.com]

YES YES A MILLION TIMES YES!!

[kyogres.livejournal.com]

I agree. I'm okay with Peeta/Katniss or Gale/Katniss or anything else, but I wish the fandom wasn't so focused on the ships. The reason I read the book was for the political drama and to watch Katniss be awesome.

I don't dislike Peeta, but I can't bring myself to care about him either. He seems too perfect, especially in the first book. (For the record, I also hate Prim for the same reason.)

[(Anonymous)]

Fandom is obsessed with shipping, and that's not the point. Where have I heard this before?

Oh yeah, many of the secrets here are about that in some way. What were you expecting? Start your own damn comm or something and advertise it here.

[lorinadante.livejournal.com]

I totally agree with you, Anon. I don't care about who ends up with who, all I want is a kickass story!

[cakemage.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty much with you here. I think Peeta/Katniss is pretty okay, nothing to write home about, and I've got a fondness for Katniss/Johanna, but I'm much more interested in the action, the politics and the awesome side characters.

[robintheshrew.livejournal.com]

-applause- Marry me?

[countess-k.livejournal.com]

I'm almost done with the first book and I don't understand what the 'ships' could be other than Katniss/Peeta. Do you mean Katniss/Gale is actually a ship? He's barely in the first book. If there's more of him to come then I can see it but I prefer not to know because of spoilers.

This story is not at all the shippy kind. Katniss spends the majority of the game alone and it's her awesome survival skills that matter, not whatever relationship she has with whoever.

An aside: God the casting of this movie is so off. None of the characters look like how I imagined them and it makes me not want to watch it.

[streetcake.livejournal.com]

The romance was so boring and forced, and especially since the plot was so freakin creepy I don't know why fandom cares about shipping so-oh wait,fandom, Where it's always about shipping first and foremost!

[(Anonymous)]

Shipping is far from my main interest in this fandom, but I still ship Katniss/Peeta pretty hard (which, by the way, I'm only able to do because the love triangle doesn't take over the story). Why must fans polarize each other as either "ALL ABOUT THE ROMANCE OMG KATNISS/MYFAVORITEMALECHARA OTP FOREVA" or "SHIPPING IS BORINGBORINGBORING PEETA AND GALE BOTH SUCK AND EVERYTHING IS KATNISS SHOOTING SHIT UP ALL DAY LONG"?

[spacefragments.livejournal.com]

ugh, the romances were the most boring thing about the book.

if i were going to ship anything it would be katniss/johanna :|

[zippytheavenger.livejournal.com]

Sweet crispy Christ, this. I like the emotion that Peeta/Gale and Katniss's non-romantic loved ones provide to the story and her experience, and some of the mushy gooey love moments are really sweet, but that is not the only thing I liked about these books. That wasn't even in the top ten of things I liked in these books. It does seem weird that this series has so many facets to it and the one thing most everyone focuses on is the romance subplot, which bas barely relevant to anything else in the story.

Woo, Katniss has these two subjectively hot boys who are in such devoted lovely love with her! Also, she is tough, brave, instrumental in bringing down the Evil Government, and shot the new President right in the goddamn face because it was the right thing. Priorities, y'all.

[lit-wolf.livejournal.com]

I am totally with you there. While I am a shipper at heart, in this fandom, I mostly want to see Katniss kicking ass. So I'm with you 100%.
