Ok. Here's the thing.

I have all of a sudden become completely obsessed with Effie Trinket. Movie Effie. Amazing outfits Effie. I haven't read the Hunger Games books, I don't know how much Elizabeth Banks' performance differs, but HOLY HELL I love her in the movie. I have also discovered that I ship her with Haymitch. As I have no connection to any sort of fandom here, I have no idea if this is a popular pairing or what. Don't care either.

What I do care about, and the reason I have popped in to say hello again ("Hello again!") is that it's been ages since I had even the slightest inkling of an idea how to go about finding good fanfic.

So. Can anyone help me? I want some good, dark, dark, dirty fanfic. For Effie. And Haymitch.

Anyone?

[Yes. This comes as much of a shock to me as it does to you. I can't explain it other than to say LOOK AT HER!]

Glad to be of service. :)

For the record, I definitely recommend reading the books at some point. Other than Haymitch's physical appearance (in the books, characters from the Seam -- like Katniss, Gale, and Haymitch -- and characters from the District 12 merchant class -- like Peeta, Primrose, and Katniss's mother -- each have a very specific physical appearance; movie!Haymitch's appearance is more like the merchant class than the Seam), the movie did an amazing job with casting.

I think I'm going to have to! I can't just keep rewatching this movie a million times. I NEED MORE EFFIE! :)

ETA: Maybe you can help me since you know these stories so well. I am obsessing about the capital citizens. What are they like? What do they think? What do they do all day? Are they professionals? Are they educated? What does the average capital citizen actually think about the games or about the way the people in the districts live? THIS is what I am curious about more than anything. Do the books give any insight?

The second and third books definitely answer some of those questions. :)
