Oh you sweet little thing, after you catch the fire of (even greater) awesomeness no amount of missed apostrophes will matter. Great work!

All this talk about 'catching fire', with Evan wanting to become a "bird of fire and awesome", makes me think that a Hunger Games/Pact crossover might be in the offing.
Either that, or a Pact/X-Men crossover, where Evan befriends Jean Grey and learns to tap into the Phoenix Force.

Interesting thought. Evan's very nature could be interpreted in a way that fits being the symbol of rebellion, and the Faefolk would definitely get along with the natives of Capitol(what with all the glamour). As for X-Men, what better handler can there be for a fundamental force of the universe than a bird, a kid...
Note to self: thinking about Blake pulling off a braid is quite distracting. Further mental imagery must be handled with care.Β

Braid? Oh, you mean that Blake would take Katniss' role? That could be interesting, especially when the Capitol Fae-ckheads want to dress him up all pretty for their televised pre-carnage talkshows, and he's forced to endure a pack of make-up artists seriously encroaching on his personal space, and he STARTS FREAKIN' OUT OH GAWD DON'T TOUCH MEEEEE.

Well, it kind of fits the closeness to the symobl and all the makeovers xD Not to mention the pre-carnage treatment works some serious Drains magic when it comes to adapting for survival. Yeah, the show didn't have a bro-sis/love couple/*insert random relationship* duo in what, a few seasons now? Mmhm, a bit of a curl here, some blue glitter there... welcome to your new personality, contestant!

Except your comparison between the Capitol and the Fae is probably more apt than comparing them with the Drains: the people running the Hunger Games are all about glamour and surface appearance and propaganda, making things look nice for the viewers at home, so none of the important people start worrying about the actual lethality of the contests, which is similar to how the Fae operate. The Drains, on the other hand, seem to change people by breaking them down and replacing their lost pieces with filth and dirt, or other twisted fragments of the Drains themselves, shoring up people's battered psyche with detritus floating in the gutter of reality, forcing you to debase yourself for the sake of survival, and...
Huh. Wait, you're right - the Hunger Games are a lot like surviving in the Drains.

Hahahaha perhaps there is no need for a crossover at all? xD Padraic is a vicious little diva alright, but there are Fae much older than him and much more bored. Β Maybe - just maybe - this whole power struggle over Lordships, Thorburns, Maggies and Mollies is Nana Rose keeping her end of the bargain and providing a bunch of bepopcornated Fae with the ultimate reality show...Β

Yeah, Practitioner versions of TV reality shows would be a fun thing.
It would be even more hilarious if Blake's surname meant "horse", since the name Blake can be interpreted as meaning "dark(-haired)". Granny Rose would be cackling her rancid old heinie off, down in the Diabolist circle of Hell, having entered another contestant into the Jacob's Bell menagerie of Practitioners - a contestant whose name was "Dark Horse". 
Speaking of Fae eating popcorn: have you ever read Moving Pictures by Terry Pratchett? There's some very interesting points in that book about magical glamour, and the power of movies (and by inference, television as well, to a certain degree). Oh, and a fun scene involving the invention of popcorn in a fantasy world.

*parachutes in from BelatedLand* Seriously considering adding a tm up there. >.> Sorry!
Ahahahhaha I should read the comments section more often xD Somehow every one of those games sounds like the winner would end up either horribly mutilated or never be seen again. Who were we playing with again? Bill, you have some ketchup on your shirt... and on your ceiling...
With how things have been going lately, I wouldn't be surprised to see Granny popping out and doing just that, actually. xD Somehow, managing an underground hors-uh, relative racing track doesn't sound like too much of a stretch. Can't let them Behaims take the cup this year too! As for the name, well... there's still hope that we will see the Ross/Rusty/Russel enigma solved. Who knows, maybe Blake's name is in fact "Black Rose" or, more likely, "Lucky I Ain't Glue".Β
Sadly, I haven't had the chance to read Moving Pictures, but only yet. I have, however, read and thoroughly enjoyed the Carpet People and am currently plowing through Good Omens. Haven't encountered camouflage yet, but there is an asortment of twisted devils and confused angels.Β Also, "It is written" is one phrase that really should be taken literally. O.O

The Psychopomp Gecko spent some time in the comments section, although he seems to have lost interest. However, his first action when he showed up was to visit each and every published chapter and post a lenghty commentary on them. If you've survived read his posts on Worm, you'll know what to expect.

If so, the Final Epic Boss BattleTM should reach its climax when he shouts: "I am rubber, you are glue!"

Yeah, that's a great book. BBC actually made a radio play adaptation of it, very recently. Pratchett and Gaiman even got cameos in the show, playing the two cops who try to stop Crawley and give him a speeding ticket, and end up having a rather... unusual experience with their car's engine.
BTW, if you're a fan of Neil Gaiman, and enjoyed Neverwhere, they've also made an excellent radio play edition of that novel. (Featuring Benedict Cumberbatch as the Angel Islington - he seems to excel as terrifying winged villains; first Smaug, now this.)

Then, it was subjected to a quick bout of fiddlin' and diddlin' in JASC Photoshop.
