One interesting idea could be Rue's different strategies as the Mockingjay. Maybe she uses her small and nimble stature in ways Katniss didn't. For example, she could be more stealthy in getting in and out of dangerous areas.
In this fanfiction, perhaps Rue's connection to nature as the Mockingjay is explored more deeply. Since she was so in tune with nature in the original story, she might use it to her advantage even more, like communicating with animals to gather intelligence or for protection.
Obviously, Rue is one of the main characters as she is the Mockingjay in this fanfiction. There might also be characters from the original Hunger Games series who support Rue in her new role, like some of the tributes who survived and are now part of the rebellion.
Rue could be the key to a rebellion in a fanfiction. After her death in the original story, her spirit could inspire the other districts. So in this fanfiction, she doesn't die. Instead, she unites the tributes from different districts against the Capitol. Her small and innocent appearance could be a disguise for her strong will and leadership skills.
One idea could be exploring how the districts rebuild and form new relationships. Maybe some districts that were once rivals now have to work together on large - scale infrastructure projects. Another could be following the main characters as they deal with the psychological aftermath of the war. For example, Katniss might struggle with PTSD and how she copes with that while also trying to be a symbol of hope for the new Panem.
If Rue won, it could lead to a very different outcome. Maybe it would inspire more rebellion or bring about a shift in the Capitol's control. It's an interesting 'what if' scenario that opens up a lot of possibilities for the story to unfold differently.
There are fanfictions that center around the psychological aftermath of the games for the survivors. Some might show how the tributes who survived, like Finnick, deal with their PTSD in the new world. It could be a very in - depth exploration of their trauma and how they slowly heal or not heal. And also, there could be fanfictions that give a different perspective on the Capitol, perhaps some of the Capitol citizens who start to question their old way of life and try to integrate into the new society.
It's about Katniss Everdeen leading the rebellion against the Capitol. The story is full of action, drama, and tough choices as she becomes a symbol of hope for the oppressed.
One possible plotline could be exploring the long - term effects of the games on the districts. For example, how the rebuilding process is going and if there are still any remnants of the Capitol's oppression. Another could be focusing on the characters' personal lives. Maybe Katniss and Peeta's family life, like how they raise their children in a post - war world.
In some fanfiction, Rue could have a connection with the Capitol that is not shown in the original. Maybe she has a distant relative who is trying to help her from the inside. This relative sends her small gifts or hints during the Games that give her an edge. It would add an interesting twist to her story and show a different side of the power dynamics in the Hunger Games universe.
One common theme is friendship. Fanfictions often focus on how Katniss and Rue form a deep friendship in the harsh environment of the Hunger Games. Another theme is sacrifice. Rue's selfless act in the original story can be further explored in fanfiction, like Katniss's reaction to it and how it shapes her later actions.
One idea could be exploring the backstories of the minor characters in more depth. For example, the tributes from the districts that we don't see much of in the original books. Another could be a what - if scenario, like what if Katniss had a different mentor who was more ruthless or more kind - hearted. A third idea could be to focus on the post - Hunger Games lives of the victors, and how they deal with the trauma and the new - found fame or infamy in their districts.
