Victors' Tower

The Victors' Tower universe (often abbreviated as VT) is a collective fictional universe created by WreakingHavok and expanded upon by other members of the Christin server. It is a crossover, featuring content creators placed into an altered version of the world of the Hunger Games series.

## About

VT is a collective universe of fanfiction works, and the initial reason for the creation of the Christin server. It originally spawned from a now deleted work hosted on the website Archive of Our Own by WreakingHavok, "as I get older (floor 6)", and initially started as a crossover between the Hunger Games universe and the now-defunct YouTube group Lunch Club. However, in time, more writers (starting with Anonymous and everythingFangirl) began to write their own works set in the same universe as WreakingHavok's work, and the world expanded to include a large number of other YouTubers, streamers and content creators, as well as getting a large number of substantial worldbuilding changes from the Hunger Games universe.

At one point in time, the ao3 collection created for hosting works set in the VT universe contained almost 100 different works, written by more than 20 individual writers. However, after the deletion of "as I get older" (due to allegations released against CallMeCarson, one of the central content creators featured in the universe), this has decreased back to less than 80 due to other writers choosing to delete their works as well.

## Significance to Christin

The Christin server was created by Opheli as a place for VT writers and readers to communicate with each other, co-ordinate their works, and come up with new ideas. It has since expanded past this original purpose, though (partially through links to the server being placed in non-VT related locations), and currently all VT channels are only visible to users with the "VT misser" (formerly "Mentor") role. Some relics of this era of the server still remain, though, such as the names of the President and Avox roles.

Many of the server's core members and staff such as Opheli, Anonymous, Spaghettoi, Khio and Relatively Small Owl were instrumental to the creation and development of the universe, and all of the OG Seven (as well as anyone who arrived during the VT era) joined specifically for the purpose of discussing VT. Newer members generally aren't aware of the universe's existence unless it's explicitly brought up to them, but some users are still active in the VT channels or working on projects related to the universe.

## Premise

As mentioned above, the general premise of the VT universe is that it's a crossover between the Hunger Games and Video Blogging RPF, featuring a large number of content creators living in a Hunger Games-based universe. However, one of the central ideas of the works in this collective canon was that they would follow the boundaries of said content creators as much as possible; hence, they could not include shipping, graphic violence or death. The latter two were achieved by never actually describing the Hunger Games in any works. Instead, they would largely focus on the lives of the Victors: adjusting to their new lifestyle after the Games, coping with the personas they'd be forced to play to provide entertainment for the Capitol and the districts, and developing friendships with fellow Victors.

The name of this universe came from one of the major worldbuilding changes made from the Hunger Games series: the titular Victors' Tower. This is a building where Victors of the Games would be forced to live out the rest of their lives, split into floors each representing a decade and containing ten Victors, and with very limited contact with the outside world.
