can we give it up for Suzanne Collins for fucking off into oblivion with her money after hunger games fucking destroyed the YA market for like 6 years. everything YA was dystopian “EVERYONES IN A DIFFERENT QUADRANT” shit from 2010 to 2016 and we didnt hear a peep from her. true fucking power.
In all seriousness, unlike Stephenie Meyer and JK, THG wasn’t Collins’ first rodeo. She’s been writing children’s television and books since the 90s. (Shout out to Clarissa Explains It All) Her first project didn’t explode and ruin her ability to be a functional creative. Suzanne made her YA novel bucks and kept it pushing.
