A/N Hey everyone! It's me again with yet another installment in my cliche's quest! These won't really take me that long to do, so I don't think it will be a really big commitment. Right now I'm mainly focusing on finishing up all of my current stories, but hey a writer needs to take a step back and do something brainless every now and then ;)
So here we go: ALL RIGHTS TO RICK RIORDAN! I OWN NOTHING!
And also BTW, these are NOT my personal opinions! These are what I think the characters opinions would be. Some of the stuff, I might agree with, but for the most part these are all just CHARACTER opinions NOT MY opinions!
Dear Fanfiction,
Oh my gods. That is all I can say right now is oh my gods. Where do I even begin?!
Ok, I know. Let's start with all of these pairings you have of my boyfriend and other girls! I mean seriously, Prachel? Preyna? The list just goes on! You have basically every single pairing Percy could possibly be in on here! Including some with his mom! Ew! No, no, no, no, no. Was I worried for a little while that Percy loved Rachel? Yes. But Percy is MY BOYFRIEND. He fell into Tartarus with me for Zeus's sake! Percy loves me, and that is that.
You know, there are just a lot of odd pairings in general. I mean, my hat and Percy's sword? How do you even come up with that?!
And what is with all of these evil Rachel stories? Rachel's one of my best friends! We didn't use to be, but we are now!
Something else that has really been bothering me: all of these stories with me being "girly". Let's get this straight: I don't wear makeup, I don't wear frilly sweaters with bows and lace, I don't do pink, and I do not do skirts. They're too hard to fight in! Most of the time I don't even brush my hair! Do you think I look at myself in the mirror in the morning and wonder what I'm going to wear that day?
There are so many stories out there with me acting very, very stupid. I'm a daughter of Athena! We don't twirl out hair around our fingers, chewing bubblegum, and giggling at boys. THAT IS FOR CHILDREN OF APHRODITE! I don't break down in tears every time I see Percy look at another girl or when I feel threatened by another girl. If I thought Percy were cheating on me (which he never would) I would hurt him. Bad. I would not go sob into my pillow and eat ice cream (well, when anyone is looking).
Also, the nicknames. I think the name "Wisegirl" is being a bit overused here. Not that I don't love that name, but Percy rarely ever calls me that. He calls me Annabeth. I'm the one who calls him Seaweed Brain pretty much every day. He only uses that name when he wants to tease me (it never really works). For the record, Percy never calls me babe or honey or anything like that. If he did, I'd punch him in the face.
Which leads us to the mushy stories. Not that I necessarily hate reading about Percy telling me he loves me over and over again, or him proposing to me... ok I lost my train of thought for a second there. My point is that me and Percy just aren't like that. We love each other, but we aren't going to be down in Tartarus making out or acting like we're in some epic romance novel. We're best friends, so we still act like it. Whenever things do get a little more romantic between us, Percy usually messes it up by knocking something over or saying something stupid (a quality I find very cute, lucky for him).
The lemons. One word: no. We're teenagers! My mother would kill me, his mother would kill him, his father would kill him, my father would kill him... just no. There's a difference between writing an innuendo on one of the stories where we're thirty something and when we're still kids.
Speaking of my family, let's get something straight. My stepmother isn't an evil witch that beats me around. Did she dislike me for a good long time? Yes. But now we're patching things up and our relationship is getting better. It isn't exactly a Norman Rockwell scenario yet, but it's getting there.
Another thing! Me cheating! Di immortales! I love Percy, and Percy alone. Luke was more of a brother to me, I just didn't realize that until it was too late. There is no other boy out there that can handle me, that I'm sure of. It took Percy five years just to figure it out!
There are a lot of good stories out there. They're imaginative, and creative, and they don't... well, do any of the stuff I just ranted about. For those stories, I give you writers a round of applause.

Again, a lot of this is NOT my opinion! So please don't feel offended!
