Before I add new complaints, let me add onto some stuff from Chapter 1:
Stupid Percy:
In addition to authors who make Percy, stupid, there are just as many authors who make Annabeth/Thalia a ditz. Annabeth's the Daughter of Athena, Goddess of Wisdom. Yeah, it's true some girls get really ditzy around their boyfriends/crushes, but Annabeth's not one of them. Same goes with Thalia.
Seaweed Brain:
Let's not forget that when Annabeth gave Percy this nickname, they were…like twelve. You just can't start using it randomly in high school.
New Complaints!
1. Why are there so many stories in which Annabeth wears a dress that's sea green, to match Percy's eyes? Why aren't there any stories in which Percy wears a gray shirt to match Annabeth's eyes? Way to send the Feminist Movement back.
2. Prince Percy. Seriously, who made this up?
3. " when there are random spaces" said dnapolymerase314 " and strange punctuation" .
4. The word "chappies". I believe it's supposed to be "chapters".
5. When you read a story, it's well-written, it's interesting, and then…BOOM! You read the last update and its: MM-DD-10. Ouch.
6. Nico X Artemis, Percy X Athena, Thalia X Apollo, pretty much any demi-god/god(dess) couple. The gods make fun of the mortal's problems, they do not date them.
7. Pothena/Atheidon (Poseidon and Athena). Ever consider how awkward this is for Percy and Annabeth?
8. One-shots that turn into a story. It's fine to write a one-shot, it is fine to write a story. Just pick one.
9. Excessive use of OCs, to the point where the reader can't find any of our favorite heroes. Using OCs to supplement a story is fine, but if the real characters aren't in it, how is it a fanfic?
Exhibit A:
"John Green of the Hephaestus Cabin and Marylyn George of Apollo are dating!" squealed Madeline Rogers of the Aphrodite cabin.
"Are you serious?" exclaimed Lucy Grant of the Athena cabin, "No way!"
"It's true! They make a cute couple though!" said Toni of the Demeter cabin.
"I bet they bonded when they found Zeus's lightning boat, retrieved the Golden Fleece, held up the sky, went through the Labyrinth, found Daedulus's (no idea how to spell that) laptop, defeated Kronos, and saved Olympus!" Bridget yelled happily.
^ Now, fellow reader, where have you heard that story line before?
11. Stories in which Annabeth/Thalia gets pregnant as a teens or before they get married.
12. Excessively long authors notes in the beginning of a chapter. I don't really care how long it is if it's at the end of the chapter, but there is nothing more annoying than having to scroll past the authors note before a chapter.
13. Songfics. This is just a personal pet peeve, because I don't like reading lyrics.
Exhibit A:
Percy: I want to have a Rad Bromance.
Nico: WTH?
