Really sorry about the wait! I promise that I'm around way more frequently than this last week!

We could definitely share Peeta. I see him being an as needed character until we decide when to kill him.

I think we could maybe set the beginning of the story in 2 since Gale was there anyway, if I'm remembering Mockingjay correctly, or we could have them start off in the Capitol? Maybe some of our vital characters are injured (katniss?), and the Capitol still has the best medicine and such. As for who is alive, dead and missing, I think we could have Effie and Cinna be presumed dead, and then maybe later they could discover them alive. Maybe Cinna has been hijacked like Peeta had been, so there will be some nursing him back to health and such?
