Why am I even bothering to look

Dear Percy Jackson fandom,

There are other titles for your post-TLH fic available besides Son of Neptune. No, really, there are.


This brief rant brought to you by the eight "Son of Neptune" fics on first page the Heroes of Olympus section on FFnet, including the first three fics listed.

Not to mention that RSquared is already using that title. Yeah.

[greenconverses.livejournal.com]

I'm having flashbacks to HP fandom and the multitude of Order of the Phoenix-titled fics.

[artemisrae.livejournal.com]

But... if they don't call it Son of Neptune, then it'll be out of canon

[greenconverses.livejournal.com]

IT'S OUT OF CANON ANYWAY, WITH ALL THE WEEPY ANNABETHS I'VE BEEN READING LATELY.

[artemisrae.livejournal.com]

NU UH ANNABETH CRIES ALL THE TIME IN CANON.

DUH.

[greenconverses.livejournal.com]

REASONABLE CRYING IN CANON

ANNABETH IS NOT GOING TO MAKE AN ASS OUT OF HERSELF IF PERCY DOESN'T REMEMBER HER. SHE IS EITHER GONNA RAGE OR GO CRY IN A CORNER.

Or more likely, she'll ignore him because her heart can't take any more if it, omg.

YOU KNOW WHAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO IGNORE ALL OF THE REASONABLE CHARACTERIZATION THAT THESE KIDS HAVE EXTRAPOLATED FROM RSQUARED'S SET IN STONE CANON, THEN HONESTLY I'M NOT SURE WHAT YOU ARE DOING HANGING AROUND FANDOM.

omg I don't think I can take another heartbreak for Annabeth's sake, srsly.

[greenconverses.livejournal.com]

THEN HONESTLY I'M NOT SURE WHAT YOU ARE DOING HANGING AROUND FANDOM.

:(

*packs bags and heads out door*

DUDE I'M IN CLASS DON'T MAKE ME LOL.

[greenconverses.livejournal.com]

*smallest violin begins to play sad tune*

[artemisrae.livejournal.com]

I'M BORED.

don't leave fandom, I need to be entertained before I actually learn something...

[greenconverses.livejournal.com]

I'M LEAVING AND YOU CAN'T GET ME BACK AND IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT

I feel like I need to write smut sometime this week. The new kids are showing me up ...

[artemisrae.livejournal.com]

WE SHOULD TOTALLY WRITE END OF SEMESTER PORN.

[greenconverses.livejournal.com]

I HAVE ONE MORE WEEK. AND ESSAYS. BUT SURE, THAT SOUNDS GOOD.

[artemisrae.livejournal.com]

YEAH I'M TECHNICALLY NOT DONE TIL NEXT WEDNESDAY. HOW ABOUT WE WISH IT WERE THE END OF SEMESTER PORN?

[greenconverses.livejournal.com]

HMMM, THIS IDEA PLEASES ME.

[angel-2606.livejournal.com]

New kids??? Do tell.

[green-climber.livejournal.com]

Agree! Also...I mean, she KNOWS he doesn't have a memory. She has seen firsthand what it has been like for Jason. It's not like she's going into this blind and will be shocked and horrified if he has no memory. If she's being true to character, she's going to mentally prepare herself for the worst even if she's a tiny bit hopeful.

[letsjamtogether.livejournal.com]

Wow.

That's sad and all, but.

I LOL.

[greenconverses.livejournal.com]

I can only LOL so many times before I need to *headdesk*

[letsjamtogether.livejournal.com]

This is true.

Maybe put a pillow on your desk?

[avid-reader1029.livejournal.com]

If these people aren't even creative enough to come up with their own title, how the hell did they manage to write a fic?

Oh, right, I forgot that their fics consist of:

"OMG, annabeth, Ive missed u!"
"Of course you have, dummy. Im ur grlfriend! Were in love!"
"O yeah." Percy said adorably. Suddenly, a super-gorgeous girl walked up. She looked like a bitch.
"Oh, HAI Percykins!" She kissed him. Percy was in love. Annabeth got really mad, then cried.
"NOES, HES MINES!" annabeth said angry. The she beat up the bitch, and they went home.

THE END

...I feel tainted now. OH GODS I need to cleanse myself immediately.

[green-climber.livejournal.com]

All you need is a few shifts from first person to third person narration and I think you've got a winner.

[greenconverses.livejournal.com]

This is essentially every post-TLH fic I've ever read. /goes to cry in corner

[avid-reader1029.livejournal.com]

This is like, at least half of the PJO fics on FFnet. I had to put a lot of effort into writing something that bad; I don't know how it comes so easily to others nor do I want to. I legitimately showered to rid myself of the feeling that writing this gave me, and then I had to work on my fic for the fic exchange to make up for defiling the characters like that.

I totally sympathize. /cries in corner as well

[ceryni-10.livejournal.com]

I agree it is really depressing seeing some of the quality of the fics on there, but I just hope it doesnt affect the interest of the likes of you and the other decent Fanfic'ers :)

[spellcoats.livejournal.com]

So original.

[greenconverses.livejournal.com]

IKR? So much thought went into that title.

[angel-gidget.livejournal.com]

Personally, I LoL'd.

[purplesmudges.livejournal.com]

Rick Riordan could not have come up with a better title himself!







wait a sec....

[sunburst-city.livejournal.com]

It amazes me how people can mass produce these fics. All with the same (sorta) plotline.
Maybe you could show 'em what a real epic PJatO fic looks like? : D

[aliepie10.livejournal.com]

:O How dare you. I wrote a Son of Neptune fanfiction! xD Jk. I haven't written shit for THL. Probably because it would be just that: shit :P

"I am Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon, wielder of Riptide, savior of Olympius."

.........Why would Percy ever say "wielder of Riptide" when he's intoducing himself? :|

Lupa looked towards me and said, "You should not be here, young demigod."

Hm...where have I heard that one before? :P

-Flashback-

3 days, 6 hours, about 12 minutes. That's how long he had been gone

We were so excited because we both started winter break met up at camp on Tuesday. We had about three weeks together. After the campfire, he kissed me good night, went back to his cabin, and the next morning he disappeared. We searched for him everywhere. Nothing.
He was gone.

-End Flashback-

Wtf? That's not even a flashback. :|

Okay, I should stop now because my fanfics are not that great either. xD
