ALL RIGHTS BELONG TO RICK RIORDAN

ALL OC'S, THE PLOT, AND NEW CONCEPTS BELONG TO ME!

First things first sorry about this being an authors note and not a chapter but I wanted to inform you all of what has been happening.

First of the bad news.

As anyone who has read the amended authors note on the last chapter is no doubt aware. just as I was uploading what should have been this chapter last week my laptop decided to be a asshole and had a system update and did not give me a chance to save and when it did restart the auto-save would not load anything but the first page, of the entire story. I lost about 8 hours work which was enough to piss me of enough that since I cant be bothered to write.

This does not mean I am not writing or that I have writers block or any of that crap but it is simply a case of not being in the mood too and effectively taking a well deserved break for a few weeks. I have essentially being writing this non-stop since last july. as a side note I have brought 17 computer games in that time and played a grand total of 2. worthwhile investments or not.

Second and much more personally I would like to address the little thieving fuckers who find great fun in copying peoples stories on other websites without permission. as anyone who reads Anaklusmos14's stories is aware people have been taking his and my own stories and posting them on Wattpad. thank you to those who informed me. after a delay I got it taken down and unbelievably within two days another person had uploaded it. which means I have to get the stupid wattpad police to go through all the crap again. thank you to Anaklusmos14 for telling me about the second case. if you want to use any of my characters, plot points or anything of my own creation ask and I will likely let you. I am still awaiting the reading version which someone asked to do and I am looking forward to it to be honest. but seriously I have spent hundreds of hours on this story and physically made myself ill over it, don't go stealing my credit.

Then the good news.

I would like to thank you all for reading this story as I recently passed half a million views which is something I never dreamed would happen when I started this story. hell I thought back then there was no way I could break a 100000 words. this all started because I thought how hard can it be. answer easy when you are in the mood when your not, not so much. even as such I cant see this story finishing in under 400000 words possibly even 500000 depending on where I go after the whole pregnancy issue is over as that is the part that is a little vague on the script admittedly. I would ask for ideas but then I have to give you lot hints on what is to come. if you want possible spoilers message me and I may enlighten you on aspects depending on what you ask.

The New chapter would have actually been released on the day the view count hit the milestone last Tuesday but that didn't happen obviously.

I should start on this in the next few days so hopefully the chapter will be out by the end of the month. however I am trying a new hobby in model building which takes a looonnnng time (so many tiny parts).

As a bit of side news I am considering doing a cross over at some point between TOTH and a anime series call Attack on Titan (Shingeki no Kyojin). called appropriately attack on titan of the hunt. which will feature Percy and Artemis/Diana stuck in the anime/manga setting and dealing with the rather fucked up shit it deals with. I need some mindless abominations to kill rather than all these Emo women that are out for vengeance. besides I want the explanation to Percy of what a titan is and him taking offense. any of you who have unlikely seen the series or the manga give me your thoughts, everyone who is interested I recommend the series as it is surprisingly good albeit a little gory and with several WTF moments.

So in conclusion please be patient and I look forward to hearing from anyone who has any thoughts. and if anyone by any chance sees this elsewhere please tell me or better yet if the people who are posting it read this, just remove it. besides it looks stupid seeing as you only have about 37 chapters copied when this has 61. thank the gods for that update to this site which stopped copy and paste. don't get me wrong I used to copy things into word so I could read them offline but I would never dream of trying to take credit for their work. besides reading million word stories on this with ~200 chapters is a pain in the ass.

How long this is becoming I probably should have just written the damn chapter.

Until next time
