Welcome to my story, Apollo's Hot News!
First thing: This disclaimer lasts for all the story. Anything you recognize: not mine, okay?
I think you did read the summary and it's why you're here.
This story will be a little special for me: I'll try to involve you more than other "basic" stories.
I'll try to upload once in a week (if I can! Don't kill me if I didn't update). You can suggest things in the review section, of course.
But about that involving thing. Well, each week I'll do a poll, so don't forget to check it everytime after the story! There will be a reference in the story, a character will want to make an appearance "next time". So I did a blind poll (I want you to judge by yourself, be honest) with three choices: one that basically says yes, one that is not yes not no, one that says no. You'll have to vote for one of them (I'm not sure if you can vote without an acc, but try nonetheless!), if you want me to see your position on the question.
For the French speakers right here, you can review in french, no problem, it's my real language.
I just hope that that didn't scare you, dear readers! c;
And other things now:
Credits to Purple Cow1111111 for his story Olympus Weekly that gave me the inspiration I needed to do this. His story is a really good one, go check it you won't be deceived! c; This is one of my first stories in english ever so yeah I'm not really acknowledged about how to write.
I think I'll make you suggest a song that I could hear to have the inspiration I need.
Little hint: I'll maybe listen to it first if it's by Thirty Seconds To Mars (I love that band since one year or so and I'm listening to their songs while writing. It matches a lot the Percy Jackson series, so it inspires me. And I have a thing for war or battle in songs.)
Sorry if the poems below the titles doesn't rhythm. I'm a beginner in this one, and I want to describe what will be happening in the chapter so it might not be perfect. But, we're talking about Apollo, and I wanted a perpetual reference to him.
Ask the Gods – 1st act
Prologue:
I need a little inspiration,
Please gods help me,
Oh, please ask a question
And the gods will answer it
Apollo was having a bad day.
He had a major problem.
A problem that could make him lose the opportunity to do weekly bets with Hermes.
His newpaper was.. So old. He had to get a new concept.
It was not selling anymore. People got bored.
He decided to go and visit the mortal world to see more of their newspapers (and get ideas!).
Nothing. That was disappointing.
There was nothing new. Every newspaper had the same things. Gossips, fashion advices but nothing interesting.
But…
Seeing the last one, Apollo had a little hope.
It seemed to be original.
On the front, there were readers' questions… And below there were the answers…
Apollo took notes of the name of the newspaper. Finally, something interesting.
There were, too, little messages to some people, like proposals and excuses.
And when Apollo decided to include his discoveries in the newspaper, he decided that , finally, the other gods could help him run the affair. (And make his "customers" smile!)
Written with: Vox Populi – 30 Seconds To Mars
So, yeah, basically, you can tell me what you think of my writing skills. I know, it is a lot shorter than that you thought (maybe) but it is the basics of the story!
