There's been a lot of talk this week as the role of Mags was cast and Josh Hutcherson has gone blonde again. Catching Fire starts filming in two weeks in Atlanta. Rumor has it Sam Claflin (from SWATH) is "likely" for Finnick.
[Note: That JH dye job looks like a do-it-yourself bad experiment with Preference, but hey... he's still Peeta.]
Awhile back I rec'd some HG fic, and I found one the other day that I really enjoyed. It's an Effie fic, and it's set after Mockingjay, but before the epilogue.

Effie pieces her life back together after the rebellion and helps others along the way.

I loved the characterizations of Effie and Katniss, and while it's a healing fic it doesn't wrap things up nicely in a little bow. Worth a read if you're curious about how Effie might have handled life after the rebellion.
Got any HG fic recommendations?
What do you think of Lynn Cohen as Mags?
Any thoughts on Sam for Finnick? I'm not sure yet, but I didn't see SWATH. Is he a good actor? Can he pull it off? Is he hot enough?
Inquiring minds want to know...
