Just so you know, I hate Rick Riordan. I was totally going to use the 'don't trust Greeks bearing gifts' (or whatever it is) line from the Aeneid (yes, my translation is on the other side of the room, and yes, that is too far), but if I do now, I'll be copying off someone who copied of someone else... and yeah... -.- I spent the whole book from Octavian being a bit of a dick onwards begging him to keep his mouth shut. Distance and time (I'd imagine reality too) matter in magic, but they shouldn't in ESP QQ.

Year 11. Love of my life. Go away now please.

Plans for future stories:

Son of Neptune: Yeah... the books out, so no. Might try a sequel, but we all know how far my last one went before I ran out of steam. I don't want to leave a story like five chapters from the end again because I can't write a chapter about Thalia that I deem good enough to post. Plus, I'd have no excuse to ignore Jason, and seven + Nico and Thalia doesn't really work (Yeah, I was gonna kick Annabeth out, sue me). Pretty pleased that Nico was in the real book, and all my spiel about the camp was complete crap (because it was awful). Phineus was in it ( :D ) and Thanatos (but I hadn't written that bit yet). (Loosely) my stuff about the Doors of Death was o.k., and does anyone else think that Bianca escaped through one of the doors, akin to Hazel, rather than choosing to be reborn? Somehow, I think the fact that she abandoned her brother once, and paid the price, would make her think twice before doing so again.

Lions lead by Lambs: Totally nicked the title from a program about the Somme in World War II. I like this story, but it's probably going to take a while to finish, due to the sheer scope of plans for it, and because procrastinating is my second favourite hobby (my first being sleeping). I also have a few issues with plot to iron out, but I like the idea of it, and it's unlikely to be ruined by a new book coming out any time soon (unfortunately).

May write a one-shot about Tyson and Mrs. O'leary. May.

More plans for a James/Lily, late sixth through seventh year fic. Unlikely.

Stories I enjoy

PJO stories featuring Nico in a non-pathetic, non-romantic (or at least barely), non-annoying little kid, non-OP demigod with mega powers (or else, some major drawbacks generally centred around accidently killing peoples [oops]).

When it comes to Harry Potter stories, please, please, please, keep in mind that it is set in England not the U.S. A little research never killed anyone (except Marie Curie, but that was borderline with 'a lot'). They don't drink soda. They don't even know what a 'twinkie' is. Mexican food is just Doritos, right? Don't assume everyone loves theatrical crap (or else thinks it's sad. For the most part, people just don't give a crap) or knows what Baseball is. And don't use the word 'soccer'. If there's any American term I hate, it's 'soccer', and I don't even like football. Not everybody is a binger. Look up some road names if you have peeps driving around. Throw something in every now and then so I can pretend you're English and I'm in safe hands (:P). A lack of O+ grades wouldn't go amiss (the grading thing tends to get on my nerves, considering it's such a simple thing to fix). When was the last time anyone got an A+ in the UK? (no need to be sarcastic). Regardless of whether or not there may have been a printing error in my copy of OotP, they would have been atleast mentioned when it came to Hermione's marks and/or aspirations. So when Harry gets his over 9000 Os, including that one in playing golf while cooking scones, please do us the justice of leaving them as such, without the O+ (with a few stars when we remember this is the GCSE equivalent, just to look cultured) in DADA being mentioned. That goes for some of the advanced and intermediate crap I've seen pop up a few times. Don't get me started on Advanced Placement classes, for the sake of my fingers, keyboard and sanity.

So, anyway. Stories with realistic Marauders era stuff. With no mention of graduation ceremonies, (school endorsed) parties, etc... (come on. This is school, it's not like they're leaving Cambridge...) or any other American traditions which would be seen dead in a British secondary school. Make them believable and do some reasearch. Lily isn't going to be listening to Eminem at home, its going to be The Beatles/Queen/Rolling Stones etc all the way. And for the love of *insert appropriate deity (if applicable) here* don't have electricals that work perfectly with a speckal charm in magical people's homes. And, come on, even if they could have them, plasma screens weren't invented back then. Colour T.V.s had only just become common place. Adding in the good old, "lol, lyk wtf is a(n) X," from character y, who is, of course, a clueless witch/wizard, is neither funny nor a good excuse. Use it once, and move on. When you write MWPP, it's effectively a period peice. Treat it as such.

Anything PJO or KC related by Asilda.

Anything good, with bearable grammar/spelling, about Zoe Nightshade (yeah, I don't even care if she came back from the dead on the back of a sparkly fairy, if you make it plausible). Same goes for Thalia, but she has the (hopefully) everlasting advantage that she's already not dead, so we can get over that bit fairly quickly.

Good, well thought out extentions to the current story. So basically, as long as it isn't as bad as mine turned out to be, we should be set.
