A/N: I'm baaaaaack! Did you guys miss me? Wait, why am I even asking? Of course you missed me. :)
Anywho, here's another haiku-disclaimer:
Once again, I'm not
a boy so of course I'm not
Mister Riordan.
Ah, the sad but honest truth. Now, let's get things started, shall we?
Peace out,

AND NOW, PROUDLY PRESENTING...
OLYMPUS WEEKLY? NOT ANYMORE...
PROLOGUE
ATHENA'S POV
Should I or should I not?
The question had been lingering in my head for quite some time now. I had been formulating a brilliant idea, but was still unsure about whether I should share it or not. I mean, the idea was a great one; after all, it was created by the goddess of wisdom herself. But there are some flaws to the plan… oh, I just don't know!
I sat in the throne room listening to the other gods quarrel, debating in my head whether or not I should share my brilliant plan.
"So… what now?" Ares said.
"We really have nothing fun to do except torturing mortals," Zeus said.
"Like Peter Johnson!" Dionysus added, eagerly smiling.
For once, I agreed with him. Sadly, Poseidon didn't.
"No," he said, shooting a stern glance at Dionysus.
Suddenly, Poseidon's face lightened up.
"Instead, we should choose a more suitable target to torture," he said. "Like Athena's child, Annabeth. Or, better yet, Athena herself!"
I sat up stiffly. I decided I was going to share my idea after all. Besides, it's much better than anything he can come up with.
"Kelp Head," I warned. "You will not torture my daughter. Much less me, although a task like that would be too much for someone like you to handle."
Poseidon backed off reluctantly. Trust me, he knows the consequences that result from making me mad.
"However," I offered. "I have an idea that I've wanted to share with you all for quite some time."
"We're listening," Poseidon said.
"As you all know, I am the official writer and editor of Olympus Weekly," I stated.
"Go on," Zeus urged.
"And I was thinking of expanding it, sort of like Hephaestus did with Hephaestus TV."
The gods leaned in, waiting for me to continue.
"So," I said. "I thought it would be a good idea if you each submit article ideas. It would add a whole new perspective. Eleven new perspectives, actually…"
Everyone thought about this for a while.
"I like it," Poseidon said.
"Yeah, sounds great!" Hermes agreed.
"All in favor?" Zeus said.
Not surprisingly, everyone raised their hand.
"Very well," I said, new ideas already forming in my head. "We must get started right away; oh, there's so much work to be done!"
"Meeting dismissed!" Zeus announced.
I watched the gods file out of the room, already chatting eagerly about new article ideas. I've said it once, and I'm sure I'll say it again many, many times: I am a genius. Olympus Weekly is sure to take off now, and it's all thanks to my amazing plan.
But something still feels… wrong. I've trusted my fellow Olympians with something that should be handled delicately, for all of Olympus is going to read it. Hopefully they handle it well; after all, some gods could get a little carried away with this.
Oh, who am I kidding? This is going to be great! Besides, 12 all-powerful gods having the right to say whatever they want about each other won't cause any problems, right?
End note: So, what do you think? Reviews are totally appreciated!
Oh, and something I forgot to say in my A/N above:
HAPPY LEARN ABOUT BUTTERFLIES DAY, NATIONAL POTATO CHIP DAY, PI DAY, AND POPCORN LOVERS DAY! (MARCH 14)
For those of you who don't know, I usually include wacky holidays in my A/Ns. I'm just weird like that. :P
