Why am I even bothering to look

Dear Percy Jackson fandom,

There are other titles for your post-TLH fic available besides Son of Neptune. No, really, there are.

This brief rant brought to you by the eight "Son of Neptune" fics on first page the Heroes of Olympus section on FFnet, including the first three fics listed.

Not to mention that RSquared is already using that title. Yeah.

[greenconverses]

I'm having flashbacks to HP fandom and the multitude of Order of the Phoenix-titled fics.

But... if they don't call it Son of Neptune, then it'll be out of canon

[greenconverses]

IT'S OUT OF CANON ANYWAY, WITH ALL THE WEEPY ANNABETHS I'VE BEEN READING LATELY.

[artemisrae]

NU UH ANNABETH CRIES ALL THE TIME IN CANON.

DUH.

[greenconverses]

REASONABLE CRYING IN CANON

ANNABETH IS NOT GOING TO MAKE AN ASS OUT OF HERSELF IF PERCY DOESN'T REMEMBER HER. SHE IS EITHER GONNA RAGE OR GO CRY IN A CORNER.

Or more likely, she'll ignore him because her heart can't take any more if it, omg.

I can only LOL so many times before I need to *headdesk*

If these people aren't even creative enough to come up with their own title, how the hell did they manage to write a fic?

Oh, right, I forgot that their fics consist of:

"OMG, annabeth, Ive missed u!"
"Of course you have, dummy. Im ur grlfriend! Were in love!"
"O yeah." Percy said adorably. Suddenly, a super-gorgeous girl walked up. She looked like a bitch.
"Oh, HAI Percykins!" She kissed him. Percy was in love. Annabeth got really mad, then cried.
"NOES, HES MINES!" annabeth said angry. The she beat up the bitch, and they went home.

THE END

...I feel tainted now. OH GODS I need to cleanse myself immediately.

All you need is a few shifts from first person to third person narration and I think you've got a winner.

[greenconverses]

This is essentially every post-TLH fic I've ever read. /goes to cry in corner

This is like, at least half of the PJO fics on FFnet. I had to put a lot of effort into writing something that bad; I don't know how it comes so easily to others nor do I want to. I legitimately showered to rid myself of the feeling that writing this gave me, and then I had to work on my fic for the fic exchange to make up for defiling the characters like that.

I totally sympathize. /cries in corner as well

I agree it is really depressing seeing some of the quality of the fics on there, but I just hope it doesnt affect the interest of the likes of you and the other decent Fanfic'ers :)
