Actually even though it's terrible, this:

“What did you mean he’s scum?” Shit. That was so not how she was going to start this conversation.

Lyme looks up, startled for a second before she covers it up. “I meant he’s a shitty human being and if there was any justice in the world he’d be in prison.”

“That’s not going to happen.”

“I know.”

“The jails aren’t big enough for all the people who...” Rokia isn’t sure what to call it.

Lyme’s face is blank but her voice is strained. “I know that, too.”

“It was normal. Plenty of people did it.”

“I don’t care if every fucking person in the Capitol did it, Rokia, it was wrong.”

“It’s not like it was just me. I didn’t even have it that bad.”

“Doesn’t matter.”

“Eibhlin’s the one you should be worrying about, not me.”

“I worry about both of you, but that’s not the point.”

“What is the point?”

Lyme looks at her. “The point is that you shouldn’t have to talk yourself down from this anymore. The point is that you are well within your rights to punch anyone who so much as touches you without your express permission. The point is that anyone who paid money to fuck you should have the basic human decency to stay the hell out of your way.”

“Oh.”

Dialogue for me...depends. Sometimes it's hard (see: Phillips and Brutus being Dudes and having to delete half the words in each sentence). Other times it just appears in my brain. The thing I just quoted was like that--I wrote it on an airplane, and then had to close my laptop and go hide in the bathroom for a minute till I could breathe properly again. Sara and Rokia dialogue tends to be easiest. Probably because they're the best ^^

Things I haven't done yet, that are on my mind:
--"the revolution from below" D6/D9 non-victors story (actually in progress is the part up to right after the Arena falls)
-- Victors plotting: the one where Mags and Beetee are running the rebellion and trying to keep Plutarch from getting his head too far up his ass, which is probably also the story of Johanna and Finnick being BFFs

I haven't written very many things that fall into fanfic tropes....although I am doing a "5 times" thing about Johanna climbing trees...

I also suck ENORMOUSLY at writing sex and anything like normal romance, which might be a thing I would like to get better at? Or I could just stick with fade to black sex and totally failtastic romance. That works too.

I'm also poking around the edges of writing Rey fic, because holy shit, she is the best character. I might write the world's most ridiculous thing where she meets Rokia at Hogwarts BECAUSE I AM ABSURD.

I keep thinking I should write Rey but basically all I have is INCOHERENT FLAILING which, while fun, is not fic-making.

She and Rokia would totally be fierce bb mechanic bffs though >>

Aaah, Rey and Rokia would get along great!!

I bet you could do some cool stuff with Rey in whatever setting you wanted to write about her!
