Rules for Making a Percy Jackson Fanfiction
Percy sat down in his wheelie leather chair and rested his elbows on the wooden desk.
"Will they be here?" Percy asked to Annabeth, who was standing behind the desk.
"Any minute now." She said, looking around the room, and then checking the knife that was strapped to her arm. For protection, but it only made Percy feel more nervous.
Percy folded his hands and then rested his hands. What was taking so long? He glanced up to the wall clock, which read 1:00. What time were they supposed to be here? Annabeth said they should be here at any time, but Percy seemed to clearly remember putting 12:00 in the afternoon.
As Percy is fixing his dark black hair with a single grey stripe(which was slowly beginning to fade) when they came in.
They.
The fangirls.
A few of the girls were red in the face as they pushed into the small room. Annabeth cursed under her breath, saying how they should have booked a bigger room.
Percy cleared his throat and began to speak. "Ahem, a few of you can uh, take a seat…" He says. A few of the girls fight over the seat, and Percy notices even a few boys were in the room as well. He shook the thoughts of possible ships out of his head. Why did Annabeth invite so many of them? Percy had only expected three or four to show up.
"Everyone, settle down!" Annabeth shouts above the voices. "Percy's got something to say to you." She says. Some of the girls swoon, and Annabeth shoots them one of her evil glances, Percy snickers.
"Alright, ah, we have gathered you here today… no, not that speech." He says, trying to find the right words. "I mean, we've gathered you particular group here today to… discuss something… ah, tragic that a few of us have discovered."
"My fanfiction?!" One girl shouts out. "Does that mean you love it so much you're going to marry me?"
Annabeth raises an eyebrow to Percy, who shakes his head.
"Ah, no."
"No, Percy's not marrying anyone anytime soon. Or at least, he shouldn't be." She shot him another evil glare before continuing. "We're here to talk about . Particuarly the Percy Jackson and the Olympians section of it."
"So you've read my story?!" Shouts one girl.
"What about mine?" A boy shouts.
"Was I to out of character?"
Voices all around begin shout about their stories, and asking the pair of demigods about their fanfictions, and if they enjoyed reading them or not. But Annabeth didn't say anything at first. She leaned back onto the door and tapped it with her knuckle twice. At first, nothing happened and everyone continued to bombard Annabeth and Percy. But the door suddenly swung open, revealing another demigod with choppy chocolate brown hair.
"Hey, shut up!" The girl, Piper, says. The room becomes eerily quiet. Annabeth looks to Piper, and motions her to do something.
"Oh, sorry, Annabeth! Everyone, listen to Annabeth and Percy. They have something important to tell you." She says. Percy for his mouth and rubs it, obviously glad to have his voice back.
"Alright, thank you Piper." Some of the girls stair at Piper, star struck. "We can handle it from here." Piper leaves and shuts the door behind her, and Percy stood up in his chair.
"The people at camp Half-Blood have recently discovered this ' ' website." He begins explaining. "So, of course we went to the section about us. What we found there was, ah…"
"Not good." Annabeth supplies.
"Yea, sure." Some of the fangirl's faces became upset. Some looked like they were going to cry from the criticism that was just given to them. "The camp was pretty concerned, so we decided to get a bunch of the, um, fangirls about it."
Percy let's that hang in the air for a moment before he continued to speak. "First of all, let's ah, you," He points to one girl, who gleams with happiness as she makes her way to the front of the room. "Can you please describe your fanfiction?"
"Sure!" She smiles. "It's about Percy coming back to camp after being at camp Jupiter, it was before the Mark of Athena," She quickly added, talking about Percy's new book that was released a month or so ago. "And he went to see Annabeth. He found her in her cabin… ah… having sex with someone else."
Percy looked back to Annabeth and saw her face burning bright red at what the girl had said.
"Anyone else want to share their story?" Percy said. One girl rambled on about how everyone at camp forgot about Percy and he disappeared. A male went on about how Percy, Jason, and Nico were all gay for each other. Percy made a vomiting face to Annabeth when he wasn't looking. She giggled. Another girl talked about Annabeth, and how she was a typical teenage girl until Percy came along. One said she was already planning a new fanfiction for The House of Hades, coming out next fall.
"Don't give me any spoilers!" She squeals.
"Uhm, don't worry, I… won't…" Percy replied back.
"Percy, can you please get to the point…" Annabeth says, rolling her eyes.
"Ah, yes!" Percy says, standing up from the desk. "Well, as you all can tell, Annabeth and myself are real people. So is everyone else from the books." Percy began explaining. "And when we found out about fanfiction, we were thrilled that someone had actually read Riordion's books. It was Annabeth's idea to write them down in the first place. Anyway, when we clicked onto the 'Percy Jackson and the Olympians' section, I expected to see stories about me being awesome." Percy says, and Annabeth rolls her eyes.
"No, we were expecting there to be a bunch of 'what if's'. Like, what if Grover had never found Percy and taken him to Camp Half-Blood? What if Percy decided to stay with Calypso? What if Percy, ah, died while trying to get back the Roman's golden eagle?" Annabeth points out.
"But we didn't find that." Percy says.
Annabeth cuts in for a moment. "No, we did find some like that. Very few, but there were some awesome fanfics."
"Yea, okay." Percy admits. "But, the point is, there's already a bunch of Percabeth fluff. And to much fanfics about Nico becoming your boyfriend. Trust me, I know Nico, and he's not into relationships." Some of the girls get up to argue that, but the door quickly opens, revealing Nico di Angelo himself.
"Percy's right." Nico says with his quiet voice. He stands out in the crowd, as the only person with skin as white as paper, and hair as black as night. His brown eyes look around the room, eying all the fangirls who wanted to scream with delight. "If I was going to date someone, it wouldn't be any of your mary-sue's. It'd be someone strong, who can take care of themselves."
"I can take care of myself!" One girl jumped up and shouted. "Let me be your girlfriend!"
"No, he's mine!" Another girl shouts. Most of the fangirls jump into a pit of hair-pulling, biting, and screeching.
"Hey," Nico shouts, his quiet voice inaudible over the roar of fangirls.
"HEY!" The door opens up again revealing the blond haired Jason Grace. "Everyone, shut up!" Jason quickly leaves the room before people begin to fight over him. The girls stand up and fix their hair before sitting down again.
"Look, I don't even know any of you." Nico admits. "I'm sure you're all nice, but I'm not interested in a relationship anytime soon…" He says, walking to the corner next to Annabeth.
Percy sights and rubs his temples before continuing. "See, this is what I'm talking about. Freaking out over someone who you used to think was fictional. It's madness!" He says.
"So," Annabeth quickly says, wanting to get to the point. "The people at Camp Half-Blood have decided to make rules for you all to follow. Rules for making a Percy Jackson Fanfiction. Hopefully, it will make fanfiction a better place for everyone." Percy laughs at that.
"We'll start breaking out the rules next week." Percy says. "Come back here the same time, same day."
"But before we go," Nico says, the fangirls swooning in to listen to him. "Let's put out rule number 1. I, Nico di Angelo, is not interested in a relationship. Nico says, before quickly leaving the room and slamming the door behind him.
