It's prompt time, baby!

Prompt post is open for the Winter Holiday Challenge at pjo_fic_battle.

I think this'll be an awesome challenge, because the holidays are insane for normal families and the Olympians are just insane in general, so hilarity will ensue. Icy Roses and I had a conversation about this over AIM like a week ago that went something like:


greenconverses: I mean, an Olympus Christmas? Holy shit, there is so many ways that can just go HORRIBLY WRONG.
Icy Roses: Wow, I never even thought of that.
greenconverses: Like Ares gets a sweater for Christmas instead of like a bazooka or something
Icy Roses: Hahahaha. Hera would buy him a sweater.
greenconverses: she'd buy everyone sweaters and useless stuff they wouldn't need
Icy Roses: Zeus probably wouldn't give any presents.
greenconverses: Hera would have to buy them for him and she'd be pissed about it the entire time
Icy Roses: I bet Athena would get a live octopus in a box from Poseidon.
greenconverses: OH MY GOD YES
Icy Roses: She would be so pissed, and it would be hilarious.
greenconverses: Apollo would write everyone shitty poems and perform them and they'd all have to pretend to like them
Icy Roses: Yes yes yes

Yeah, there's no way Christmas or any other winter holiday in Percy Jackson fandom wouldn't go down with some kind of epic fail or a moment of awesome. Go prompt away, my pretties!

:D I am so stupidly excited about writing holiday PJO fic. Even though I have no time to do it. I'm still totally going to do it anyway. D<

[greenconverses.livejournal.com]

Oh me too! My first Christmas with PJO fandom! It's enough to bring a tear to the eye.

[ad-exia.livejournal.com]

Yes, it's a moment to be treasured!

December on Olympus sounds like it would entail twenty-five days of Apollo belting out "Jingle Bell Rock."

[greenconverses.livejournal.com]

XD It totally would. I bet everyone just dreads December coming along because they're sick of his Christmas caroling.

"why did they ban Christmas?"
"seriously, Percy, nobody told you?"
"that's why I'm asking. does it have to do with -"
"doesn't have to do with Jesus. it's Apollo's fault."
"huh."

your icon makes me wonder: what god would Topher be the son of?

[tatooine.livejournal.com]

Good question. He's got some Dionysus crazy and some Hephaestus tinkering, but I think he's mostly an awkward mad scientist Athena dude.

I think of Adelle as a Hades girl for some reason. SCHEMITY SCHEME SCHEME small squishy center.

though some songs might be off-limits. after all, for some of the gods, "grandma" tried to keep Kronos from eating their dad. :)

Nike and Serapis probably only get presents if the gods do Secret Santa.

though don't tell Demeter about Santa Claus...she'd probably be inspired to give her son-in-law presents full of coal.

(yes, I read a Percy Jackson book - reviewed it too; it was a fun read)

[greenconverses.livejournal.com]

Olympian secret santa would just be miserable in general, I think. XD

Yay! I'm glad you enjoyed it! Which one did you read?

[rodlox.livejournal.com]

Hades: *seeing his Secret Santa present is full of coal* "Gee, I wonder who pulled my name."

Last Olympian.

Zeus: "WHO - BOUGHT - ME - BOOTIES?"
"Well I figured you'd been every animal but a cat."
*ZAP*
random god: "way to pipe up."

Artemis ran over Rhea's chariot
Flying home from Delos Christmas Eve
Some people celebrate in late December,
But most of the Olympians, they just grieve.

BRB, dying from awesome.

[rodlox.livejournal.com]
