A/N - Sorry for not updating sooner. I was away for a few weeks. I don't own PJO.
Athena's POV
I turned on my computer and OlympusSearched "Fanfiction". I scanned the options.
What is Fanfiction? Any questions you might have, all answered by Hermes.
Make your own Fanfiction username! Steps and advice brought to you by Hermes!
And finally, Fanfiction Archive of the Gods. I clicked on it, and scanned the page for where to sign up. It was in the upper right corner. I clicked on it. The first thing they asked for was my username. I'd thought a lot about it, and I knew what I was going to do. I clicked on the box and typed in Owl of Wisdom.
Next, my email. athena at olympus dot net.
Finally, my password. I thought for a moment, then typed in, *********. Wisestone. Wisest one. I clicked sign up, and the password box flashed red. Wait, I need a number? They could have told me that before. With an explanation. Because really, what's the point of having a number in your password? Exactly - there is no point. Grumbling, I edit the password to wisestone1. Happy?
I clicked on sign up again. The screen turned white. I waited. Five seconds...ten... Hermes! Whenever he was in a bad mood, or really excited, or just wanted to annoy all of Olympus, the Internet went out. Twenty seconds... The page formed. It said...they would send an email so I could open the account.
They really wanted to make this as complicated as they could, didn't they. I sighed, and checked my email. It was there in my inbox, along with an email from Hermes.
Hey, guys, remember to make a Fanfiction account! Make it now! -Hermes.
I rolled my eyes, and clicked on the email from Fanfiction. I clicked on the link, which took me to my account. I looked at the tabs on the left. Account, Publish, Private Messaging... And under each, so many more options! This account - just the account - was huge. I clicked on the different tabs, exploring the account. There was a place to make forums, another to make communities, another to make polls. There was a place where you could check to see if your favorite stories had updated, and another where you could post stories of your own. Oh, and here was where you could type your profile! I decided to type a bit in.
I'm Athena. Yep - Athena. You've probably guessed that from my username. Anyways, this is me - goddess of wisdom and battle strategy, guardian of owls. Unofficially, I'm a defender of proper English. You will not see me using text talk, repulsive slang, or any of the other viruses that seem to have taken over the English language. I will stop to criticize any story I read that uses any of the writing styles above. I hope and expect you to use my advice.
Good enough, I thought. It certainly got the point across. I could revise it later if I needed to.
After a few minutes, I saw I'd gotten a PM. I went to the inbox. It was from UltimatePrankster. Hey! This is Athena, right? Ha, of course it is. Who else would make their username Owl of Wisdom? This is Hermes. So, I was thinking you should go to the author page, and look at the other gods and demigods who have accounts. Try to guess who they are. -UltimatePrankster
I clicked on the link, and was taken to a page with about fifty usernames on it, each a clickable link. I looked down the rows. LightningMaster was Zeus. SeeWaves was Poseidon, obviously. Bad joke. SkyQueen, that was Hera. Hephaestus was MasteroftheForges. Ares was ToughGuy. (Really, Ares?) Aphrodite was ThePrettiest. (Not.) Artemis was Moonlight Arrow. SeaweedBrain? Percy Jackson. Messed up sea spawn... Wise Girl - that was Annabeth. I liked it, I just wished she hadn't chose Percy's nickname for her. GrainyCereal, Demeter. Of course; she's obsessed wish cereal. I scanned the other usernames. FamilyHearth, DeathBreath, WineDude, AwesomerThanTheSun, PineconeFace. I recognized most of the usernames that followed.
I went back to my profile, and saw that I had another PM. It was from Moonlight Arrow. Hey, Athena, I think Hermes overrated this a bit, don't you?
Overrated? Overrated a site where you can write your own stories, give helpful criticism, do basically anything? Frowning, I replied. I think it's great. The account is huge. You can write your stories about anything related to whatever book you want, or whatever the mortals think is fiction. We can get Aphrodite to improve her writing. And think, Artemis, you can write stories about Apollo. Or Zeus. Or you can protest against the stories that pair Thalia with Nico di Angelo.
I sent the message, hoping that she wasn't offended by my mentioning the fanfiction pairing. I hoped it wouldn't start off a rant about foolish mortals and their silly ideas. That was the thing about Artemis. She was...touchy. Anything might set her off.
Before long, Artemis replied. They pair Thalia with Nico di Angelo?
Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned that. Apparently they do, I typed back. But you can write about the obligations of the Hunters.
I could just imagine Artemis sitting at her computer, horrified. I do hope that if Thalia leaves the Hunters, she doesn't start aging again. She was almost sixteen. I was nervous when I looked at her reply. I could write about their obligations, true. Where do you think the horrible pairing came from? I don't see what it could have originated from.
I thought about it, then replied. I don't know. I don't see it in either of them. I don't think either of them started it.
Soon, she replied. Well, I'll definitely be writing about it. Like, about how Hunters swore never to marry.
Sensing that our conversation was done, I logged out. Artemis writing stories about Apollo, Apollo writing stories about Artemis (and himself, of course), I was sure the rivalries between the Big Three would arise, I knew Aphrodite would have some gossip to share... I saw future problems arising, and I wasn't even the prophetic Apollo. It occurred to me, not for the first time, that Hermes had made a big mistake in inviting us all to make accounts.
A/N - Does anyone have any ideas of what stories the gods might write, or any plot requests?
