So I kept having the image in my head of how I found THGRPG. I have to express it and this thread is for anyone who wants to say how they found it.

Here is my story:

I was in an extremely bad mood. It was Saturday and I was in NYC at my Great Uncle and Aunt's place and I was bullied THE WHOLE WEEK BEFORE AT SCHOOL. So as I was saying I was in a bad mood and so I was on my Uncle's computer looking for something to cheer me up. I felt really bad so the first thing I thought of was death and destruction and evil which lead me to thinking HGs. I searched on the internet "Hunger Games Role Playing Game" because I felt like doing it. Guess the first thing which popped up on the search engine? This. I clicked it and found it interesting. I wasn't planning on actually staying on here but here I am!

I was 13 and had recently read The Hunger Games and fallen in love with it. Being a 13-year-old on the internet, I decided I wanted to write a fanfiction, but had no idea what the minor districts' industries were because they were never explicitly stated in the first book. I Googled a list of district industries and a Yahoo Answers thing popped up, so I clicked it. The top answer cited HGRPG as a good place to refer to for detailed descriptions of each district. I checked it out and quickly got sucked into the world of RPing.

I never did write that fanfiction.

For me, I had writer's block for about the past month or so, stress being the main culprit. I've been role playing for several years, but struggled to find an RPG in the past year or so that really grabbed me as a writer or that stayed open long enough for me to really get into any characters I created.

When I began the search that led to this RPG, I'd initially just wanted to find a place like the HP RPG I'm a part of, which lets you sort of play as yourself and gather money with which to collect things like wizard cards and such. I didn't know if it existed so I went to Google and actually stumbled across this site.

I browsed some of the threads, first, then looked to see how long the site had been active. Both sold me and I joined immediately, breaking my month-long stint of writer's block; I created two characters in less than an hour.
