Age: 40
Location: Honolulu, Hawaii

Background: The owner of Jabberjays.net, Crystal is a full-time freelance fiction editor for her business, Pikko’s House. Her interests stretch far beyond The Hunger Games into other fandoms and hobbies. A Game of Thrones fan since the late 1990s, she is the owner of Fictional Food and EnderWiggin.net.

Managing News Editor

Name: Carla Pinilla
Age: 29

Background: Carla is a Chemical Engineer from Panama (Central America), currently doing a Master’s in Polymer Science in Berlin, Germany. A consummate fangirl, she has been involved in various fandoms since her teens, running several fandom sites under her domain Kyoudai.net. She also designed and currently runs the official website of Latino Lit author Silvio Sirias. When she’s not thinking way too deeply about The Hunger Games series, she’s reading, writing (mainly fanfiction), or watching way too many TV shows.

Public Relations Manager

Age: 20

Background: Sarah is currently studying for her Bachelor of Arts in English Literature, whilst working part time as a brand and marketing manager. She has been involved in website production from a very young age, and it was this passion that led her to create her own comprehensive entertainment site, Focus Film. Sarah loves the film industry, and is currently working to root herself firmly amongst it. The Hunger Games is her safe haven from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, but she also loves the works of JK Rowling, and travelling the world.
