Well, 'gloss' could refer to a shiny or smooth appearance. In a Hunger Games fanfic, it might describe something like a gloss on a weapon, giving it a polished look. Or it could be used more metaphorically, like a gloss over the harsh reality of the Games, where things seem a bit more glamorous than they really are.
The Hunger Games is a dystopian story set in a post - apocalyptic world. The Capitol rules over the twelve districts harshly. The Hunger Games themselves are a cruel form of entertainment where one boy and one girl from each district are sent to fight to the death in an arena. Katniss Everdeen volunteers for the Games to save her sister. She becomes a symbol of hope and rebellion against the Capitol throughout the series.
One way is to have a character obsessed with gloss. For example, a Capitol citizen who is always looking for the shiniest things. This character could play a role in the fanfic by either helping or hindering the main characters. Maybe they provide the tributes with some 'glossy' items that turn out to be useful in the arena.
The Hunger Games story has important events like the Quarter Quell. These special Hunger Games are designed to be even more challenging and are used by the Capitol to quell any signs of rebellion. Also, when Katniss shoots the arrow at the force field in the arena, it's a turning point. It shows her defiance against the Capitol's rules. And of course, the final battles in the Capitol during the revolution are crucial for the story's outcome.
One great Gloss Hunger Games fanfiction is 'Gloss's Redemption'. It delves into Gloss's backstory before the Games, exploring his motives and relationships. Another interesting one could be 'Gloss in the Shadows', which shows a different side of him during the events of the Games. And 'Gloss and the Rebellion' is also a cool read as it imagines Gloss's role in a potential rebellion within the Hunger Games universe.
In some fanfiction, a unique aspect is that they are given more sympathetic backstories. For example, instead of just being the 'bad guys' as Careers, there are stories where they had no choice but to enter the Games to protect their families. This makes them more three - dimensional characters.
Well, 'divergent' here might refer to something that goes in a different direction or has a distinct quality. In Hunger Games fanfiction, it could mean a story that diverges from the original plot, like having different character developments or alternative endings. For example, a fanfic might have a character who was supposed to be a villain in the original Hunger Games series turn out to be a hero in this divergent fanfiction.
Well, 'love kills' might imply that love in Hunger Games fanfiction can end certain things. For example, love could kill a character's ambition in the Games. In the original Hunger Games, the main focus is often on survival and outwitting opponents. But if a character falls in love in a fanfiction, that love might override their drive for victory, thus 'killing' the traditional Hunger Games scenario.
In Hunger Games fanfiction, 'not in our favor' can have multiple interpretations. It might be about the political situation in the story. Suppose there's a new regime in the fan - created Capitol that makes rules even harsher for the districts. This would be not in the favor of the characters from the districts. Or perhaps it's related to a specific event like a new type of arena that has been designed to specifically target the weaknesses of the tributes, thus making the situation not in their favor.
First, know the character of Gloss well. Read the original Hunger Games books to understand the world he exists in. Then, think of a unique plot. It could be about his hidden past, like a secret family or a special training he had. Next, create interesting relationships for him, either with other Tributes or characters from the Capitol. For example, you could write about his friendship or rivalry with another Tribute. Also, use vivid descriptions to bring the Hunger Games arena and the Capitol to life in your fanfiction.
One great Cashmere and Gloss Hunger Games fanfiction is 'The Untold Tales of Cashmere and Gloss'. It delves deep into their backstories before the Games, exploring their family dynamics and how they got to be the Careers they are. Another one could be 'Cashmere and Gloss: Beyond the Arena', which imagines their lives if they had survived the Games.
