Re: Wikia Guided Tour: Hunger Games
Hi, thanks for involving myself and the wiki in this new Guided Tour! In response to your questions:


 * 1) I first decided to join this wiki when my friends started to talk about this new book which I had never heard of. I felt out of the loop so decided to buy and read the book. That book was, of course, The Hunger Games. After reading the book I craved a website which I could really 'geek out' on which is how I stumbled upon The Hunger Games Wiki! Ever since then I have been actively editing and never really wanting to do anything other than help everyone and everything about this wiki. I suppose really thats how I got Bureaucrat!
 * 2) My story of how I got into YA Fantasy and YA Fiction as a whole is much less down to chance than my story of how I came across the wiki. I always found that Fantasy was such a free genre to work with and write that I actually started writing in that genre. I got reference material, looked beyond the classic fantasy books of the time and into YA fiction. I suppose I fell in love with YA so much that I have just continued to read it.
 * 3) The Vampire Diaries (TV series): Even if you hate vampires with a passion after the Twilight fad passed away, this series is one to watch. There was so much stuff going on in the books it couldn't fit onto a movie series, thats why it works so beautifully as a TV series. It throws you into this new world right away. Spirited Away (film): A film which is for everyone, as beautifully animated as it is written. A Game of Thrones- by George R. R. Martin: Complex and exciting. You'll wonder how you ever missed reading this before! Naruto Shippuden (anime): If you hate anime or think it is for little kids then watch Naruto. Millions of fans worldwide love it with very good reason. Star Ocean (game): A very little known visual novel even amongst gamers. If you like Monster Hunter but want a game with a bit more backstory, Star Ocean is the best bet for you.
 * 4) There are quite a few things which I don't like but I wouldn't particularly say they were terrible. They just weren't the things for me, but I can't say it might be the same for you.
 * 5) Fantasy is a very wide genre and so wherever your interests lie may it be books, films or games don't be afraid to try something new. You might have never watched any anime before but then when you watch Naruto and like it you might want to watch other Fantasy animes and decide anime is your new interest!
 * 6) On The Hunger Games Wiki we have blogs enabled which, let you voice yourself to the entire wiki. You could make a blog asking for recommendations and people will be sure to reply. Or you could pop over to our Chat which lets to get into contact with others who like The Hunger Games, YA fiction and YA fantasy just as much as you. There is always an admin or mod on chat (I am also almost always on chat) and you can pm them asking for recommendations too! So with these features you can really get into YA Fantasy.

Well thats all from me, again thanks for letting me get involved, 16:31, October 11, 2013 (UTC)
