Aw, that's a really sweet ending to the series. And totally leaves open the possibility of further drabbles/stories in this universe. Dawn and Percy in one place is just asking for trouble! :)

I'd love to write more eventually. But the drabble format was getting just a little confining. I can't tell you how many times I revised these last two to get them back down to 200 words each. =)

Glad you enjoyed them!

This has been a fascinating series; I've seen only the movie rather than the books (and so blinked at the reference to Annabeth as a blonde :-) ), but the idea behind this crossover feels more-than-usually right. I agree, I think there's more story here, and I hope we get a chance to see it.

Thank you; I'm glad you liked them!

The books are definitely worth it; the first one's a little weak as the author gets his feet in the universe, and the movie takes a lot of liberties with the plot, but the series improves dramatically from there.

I would like to explore this more further at some point-- just not as drabbles!

I've only read the first of the books so far (I'm going to get them from the library ASAP) but I'm ignoring anything potentially spoilerish! I LOVED this from concept to execution so I really hope you do get to continue it, but I can see how the drabble formula would be too constraining. Can't wait for the epic sequel ;-p

Actually I'm amazed that you managed to tell this story in so few words without leaving out anything. Kudos to you and possibly the internets ;)

I had a lot of fun with the drabbles, getting my toes wet in this universe, but it was a bit limiting. And I've been busy since. I do plan at least 3,000 more words of this, this fall, as soon as I find time to reread.

Glad you enjoyed this so far! =)
