Author's Note: This is a page for my comments on the reviews for this story. Usually I reply using the given link but since the reviewers use guest accounts to review, I had no way to put my thoughts through. I did this anyways knowing that the reviewers might not even read it.
Lollipop: First, thank you for reviewing my story. Second, I consider it a compliment that you think I use deep English. My writing style tends to end up being very deep when I get into it. Third, I know that Rick Riordan's style of writing is simple to understand but I'm not Rick Riordan. I can choose to write in a simple style but I decided not to because I didn't think simple would fit into my story. In regards to that, I'm a bit offended by what you said. Maybe I'm just reading too deep into your words but I think that the kids/teenagers who read Riordan's series can read/understand deep English. I don't think my writing style comes off as being complicated. By the time, I was in 7th grade I had to read George Orwell's Animal Farm and let me tell you that was a bitch to read when you're 12. In addition, I'm sure most teenagers have at least read Tolkien's books once. Those books I find has a much deeper/complicated style than mine own. Now if I wanted to write simple then I would have probably written a story about Percy, he's a seaweed brain after all. However, my story is about Annabeth and Malcolm. Please remember that they are children of Athena, goddess of wisdom. I'm sure they would be insulted that you said my English was too deep for them.
Lubi: Thank you for reading my story. I wrote this story because I wanted to write something bittersweet. Life is joyful, painful, and full of laughter and tears, and most of all bittersweet. We would never be able to grow without having lost something or someone and enduring the painful times that follow. I believe everyone goes through that and by the time we look back on those memories we realize how much we've changed. I wanted that to show through my portrayal of Annabeth and Malcolm, which is also one of the reasons I wrote this story as well b/c there are not many fanfics that portray that change.
