Important News - 'Click' Final Chapter

2010-02-24T13:18:00.000-08:00

I owe you guys a MASSIVE apology.

I'm really sorry I haven't updated Click in so long. The chapter has been a long time coming, and I've been so busy this year that my school work just has to take priority. I've written 7,000 words of Click: Chapter 7 so far, and it's only about half-way through.

If you don't know what Click is, it's my Percabeth story! Check it out here :)

And this is where YOU wonderful beans come in.

Do you -

a) Want me to post what I have of Chapter 7 now, and then extend Click to last for eight chapters?

or

b) Wait until I finish the whole of Chapter 7 (I'm not sure when this will be?)

I'd LOVE it if you could get in touch - either by commenting, or through ff.net - to let me know which you'd rather I did. Asap would be AMAZING!

Thank you to all who've stuck with Click, waiting for me to write it. I'm sorry, guys!

PJO MOVIE REVIEW ~MAJOR SPOILER ALERT ~

2010-02-13T10:06:00.000-08:00

MAJOR SPOILERS FOR MOVIE! DO NOT READ IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS IN THE MOVIE...OKAY?

SPOILER ALERT!

You can't say I didn't warn you.

Okay.

I'll do this in lists.

Things I Liked About The Film

- LOGAN. Okay. I have to say it. HE IS THE PERFECT PERCY JACKSON. He is actually amazing in it. Not just in looks, either - he's convincing and really endearing, completely hilarious at times and gives an AMAZING performance. The bits with him and Gabe were GREAT, those were my favourite. The Sally/Percy/Gabe dynamic was the best working relationship of the film. I LOVE HIM. The kid needs a major career, I'm telling you. Best lines ~ "I really should be on medication..." And the giggling. He has a great giggle. He also seems to hug, like, EVERYONE in the film XD

- BRANDON. I was sceptical when he was first cast, but I shouldn't have been - he was by far the funniest character as Grover, and again very convincing. It was like the script-writer had given everyone else the crappy lines and saved all the good ones for Brandon. Best lines (there were many to choose from) ~ "Burning money? In a recession? That's gotta be like treason or something..." "Don't kill them! Don't kill them! Those are working class Americans!" Plus, he's a total pervert in this film, which weirdly I kind of liked :)

- THE CGI. Epic.

- HADES. He was amusing.

- THE GODS' BRITISH ACCENT. I just thought it was cool that they were all English. :)

- GABE. He was perfect. Best line ~ "It was when my stepson turned to drink and drugs it all went wrong..." Percy: Oh, man...

- LUKE. Some didn't like him, others hated his guts, but personally I thought he was pretty good.

- CAMP HALF BLOOD. Really amazing set - it was gorgeous. The Capture the Flag game was JUST like I imagined it.

- MEDUSA. Uma Thurman rocked, man. And the woman running around her emporium was like something out of a horror movie...

Bits I Did Not Like
- ALEXANDRA DADDARIO. Meh. She wasn't the WORST... She was just average. She wasn't the Annabeth we knew - if anything, she was kind of lack-lustre.

-PERCABETH. It was kind of hinted at... And then besmirched. Meh. Unaided by the fact that Daddario is NOT Annabeth Chase.

- SCRIPTING. Possibly the weakest element of the film. Craig Titley should be ashamed - the script was dire and cheesy, with the most cliche ridiculous nonsense littering the scenes. Meh.

- THE BIT WHERE THEY GOT DRUGGED. That was just weird. Though I liked Logan's giggle.

- THE MUSIC. The Lady Gaga song did NOT fit in, neither did the Grover dancingness! Plus the score was completely generic and unoriginal - it marred potentially good scenes. And someone said, "Good luck, you're on a highway to hell." So the song Highway To Hell started playing. *sigh*

- THE FACT THAT DADDARIO HAD HER HANDS ALL OVER LOGAN. No fair. ;)

- THE GODS' SIZE. They were HUGE - when Percy and Annabeth spoke to them, it looked like something out of Honey I Shrunk The Kids.

- THE CHEESE. All kind of cheesy.

- PERCY'S MOM. I liked her a lot, but it was the way Percy seemed not very upset his mum had died for like most of the film...

- THE CORNY POSEIDON/PERCY MEETING. I thought the bit in the book where Poseidon and Percy met was BRILLIANT, but in the movie it was cliche and dull.

- THE ABSENCE OF KRONOS. Luke was kind of trying to overthrow the earth...on his own. Which was kind of lame.

- CHIRON. Pierce Brosnan. You were god-awful.

- FAILURE TO EXPLAIN ANYTHING. They didn't explain anything at all. They skimmed over Chiron's amazing explanations and stuff. Not chuffed.

Major Plot Changes

- The whole plot is the three demigods (Alex, Logan, Brandon) travelling to find 'Persephone's Pearls', which are hidden across America which will allow them to escape from the Underworld
- Poseidon stayed with Sally and Percy when he was a baby, but this was turning him into a mortal (?) so Zeus decreed Gods couldn't see their kids. Um..no.
- No Kronos. Lame, lame, lame.
- No Ares! That was a shame, I really liked him.
- The Hydra features, Proscrutes and the Chimera do not, nor does the Denver Waterpark stuff... All they do is go to a modern-day Parthenon, a casino in Vegas (Lotus Casino) and Medusa's lair, which was a bit of a disappointment.
- You know the heartbreaking decision Percy has to make, to leave his mom behind in the Underworld? Well, he doesn't have to make it. GROVER stays behind, then Zeus brings him back. Weird.
- Persephone coming on to Grover. Sexually inappropriate.
- The whole Logan holding Alex's hand when he was in the pool. Weeeeeeeird.
- Luke's confession that he was the lightning thief. It was dull.

Overall rating - 6/10, for pure entertainment value and the fact that Logan is the most talented thing since sliced bread.

But I might see it again. JUST for Logan's sake :)

What's Your PJO Story?

2010-01-25T12:44:00.000-08:00

Just curious ~ how did you guys get into Percy Jackson and the Olympians?

My story? It's a tale of villainy and deceit... Well, not really. But kind of. My mum bought the first book mainly for my younger brother - he's not a big reader, but when we were little my mum used to read us books at bedtime and then I'd spend an hour before I went to sleep daydreaming about the stories that were still ringing in my ears. Blame my mum for love of fanfiction, I suppose.

Anyway, mum wanted to bring back the whole bedtime reading thing, so she bought Percy Jackson because it looked fun and there were Converses on the cover, which my brothers were obsessed with. So she read us the first chapter.

Intriguing, thought I.

So I did what any other book lover would do.

I stole the book from her bedside cabinet and read it in two evenings.

My brother didn't get it back for like two years.

I bought the second book about a week later and took it to a friend's sleepover - she literally had to wrench it from my hands in order to stop me reading it; I don't think I made very good company that night! And I dragged my dad into town to buy the Titan's Curse and read it as we pushed a trolley around Tesco. Titan's Curse had only just come out in the UK when I bought it, so it was all jolly exciting.

So go on - spill. What's your PJO story?

Love,

B

Script?

2009-11-22T05:35:00.000-08:00

Found full script here but we're not too sure if it's real or not, because the parts of the trailer we've seen don't feature - chances are, this is a preliminary script prior to editing.

Between you and me, I really hope this isn't the real script, because it's...uh.....

Well, let's be honest, it's not very good at all.

I know a few of you have been asking about the script for the movie! Well, it seems that the French site that originally posted the script has now removed it, probably due to copyright claims, so I can't help you guys out with posting any atm! If I find more, I'll post it here, but I won't be able to send it to your private e-mail account (I recommend you DON'T put this on your comments (if you already have, please delete this comments) just for your own safety and privacy (you never know which weirdos are reading!), k?)

Translation - Script Rumours

2009-08-07T07:51:00.000-07:00

IN A SWIMMING POOL - NIGHT

Wooden bleachers surrounding the Olympic size pool. The room is empty. We see the moon reflected in water. A pair of nikes, a Jay-Z t-shirt and iTouch are stacked on the edge of the pool. The camera plunges underwater. At the bottom of it, there are ...

Percy Jackson, aged 17, sitting with legs crossed. His eyes are closed. Her blonde hair long and float around him. He looks peaceful. (don't know what this is about)

Percy: Since I was a kid, I have liked being in water. This is where I think best. Sometimes when I concentrate, I hear a distant voice ... as if someone was trying to guide me, give me a direction ... Weird, huh?

Percy opens the eyes, rises to the surface, fills his lungs with air.

Percy: Probably just water in the brain.

OUTSIDE THE ACADEMY Yancy - DAY

It is located on a large campus in New York. Percy walking alone across campus, dressed like a surfer in Venice Beach, listening to an iPod. His attitude is both tough and cool.

Percy: I'm Percy Jackson. Until a few months ago, I was a student at Yancy Academy. This is the kind of place where parents send their children "disturbed" when nobody else wants.

A fight began between a group of students. Teachers come to end. Percy continued to walk.

IN A ROOM DURING Yancy - LATER - DAY

Mr Brunner, a man of 52 years gives a course for children who would like to be elsewhere. Percy sets his textbook.

Percy: My so-called "troubles" have names rather impressive ...

Percy press the screen and the word "morph" is formed.

Percy Jackson Leaked Script

2009-08-06T10:30:00.000-07:00

Bit of a challenge for me...a five-shot, which I'm hoping to update in quick sucession. Started off as a Percabeth oneshot, and evolved... It's Post-TLO, so there's spoilers, and moderate language and teeny tiny sexual references, but only teeny weeny ones. Hope you like it, anyway - it's been fun to write so far.

Casting Rumours....Again

2009-07-05T11:56:00.000-07:00

So, looks like there's been a lot of casting news. This is Joe Pantoliano, who is rumoured to be playing Gabe - he's been in the Matrix, Racing Stripes and played Pan in Hercules (how ironic), and this is what he looks like :)

And this is Dimitri Lekkos, who is rumoured to be playing Apollo - and I have to admit, he does make me giggle a little girlishly *blushes* He's been in...um, very little, to be honest with you - but I like him.

We also have Christie Laing, who is rumoured to be playing an 'Aphrodite Girl' - to be honest, she looks more like the Silena I envisioned. She's been in Scary Movie 4 and Smallville.

And this is Stefanie von Pfetten, who is rumoured to be playing Demeter - she's been in The Call and Battlestar Galactica.

Another Aphrodite girl - Marie Avgeropoulos, apparently, who has been in I Love You, Beth Cooper. She seems quite pouty:

There are also a couple of cops and uncredited class mates - there's this one 'Smart Ass Kid', who I think will be a bully at Camp or School - this is him, his name is Richard Harmon, he's been Smallville as well:

There's also a girl down as 'Pretty Girl' - I wonder who she could be?!

Casting Rumours

2009-04-24T10:59:00.001-07:00

So, IMDB is saying that Silena and Aphrodite have been cast forr the Lightning Thief movie. And we all know how reliable THEY are...but they were right about Luke, so hey-ho. If it's true, then this is the casting for Silena (I was hoping for dark hair and less of a Disney Channel look, but hey) - her name is Chelan Simmons, and she's been in John Tucker Must Die, Final Destination 3, Good Luck Chuck and Kyle XY - and Smallville. She's also apparently played Lindsay Lohan...but I'll leave that up to you to judge...:

And this is Aphrodite, apparently called Serinda Swan (be wary of the google search, it's got a bit too many indecent images that I was NOT aware of when I searched: this was the only photo without cleavage and...well, you know the drill):

Apparently she's been in Smallville, Supernatural and Psych, whatever that is...

I'm not a big fan, but hey - I'll sit back and see when the movie comes out. And if these are wrong, I'm sorry - just trying to keep you posted!

Love,

PS. The guy who wrote the screenplay for the Lightning Thief also did Shrek and Shrek 2! And Shrek 3 was crap and he wasn't involved, so maybe it'll be better. I love Shrek 2. I love the music. *dances*

Sally Jackson Casting Announced

2009-04-24T08:56:00.000-07:00

This is the casting announced for Sally Jackson - her name is Katharine Keener, and she's been in Into The Wild and Capote (they sound famous, but I've never seen them...) I have to say that I imagined Sally a little younger, but she seems nice looking enough, right?

And I just found out I actually beat Rick Riordan into posting the casting. Wow! That's cool!

Luke Casting Announced

2009-04-10T08:06:00.000-07:00

So, this is Luke - for the movie, anyway. His name is Jake Abel, a relatively unknown young actor. He looks pretty good for Luke from what I can see, if a little baby-faced. But oh well. Seems alright so far.

I'm not sure about Uma Thurman playing Medusa (?) and definitely not sure about Pierce Brosnan. I mean, Chiron is James Bond? Chiron sings in Mamma Mia? Oo-er! Should be..interesting!

The woman who plays the Fury is really scary looking! Look:

Seriously. *shudders* And Sean Bean for Zeus? I love Sean Bean, but this makes me chuckle. A lot. And Poseidon is Kevin McKidd, which I don't agree with - I saw him in Made Of Honour. He was okay. Scottish, though - not too sure how that will work! Poseidon in a kilt? Hmm. Fingers crossed that he will put on an accent - as much as I like the Scottish accent, I have a feeling it might not fit. He's also blonde...which is a little odd. But we'll wait and see.

And rumour as it that they're re-casting Annabeth... Ah. We can dream, I suppose.

*mutter mutter grumble stupid Prachel grumble mumble mutter*

SPOILER ALERT! DO NOT READ UNLESS A) WANT TO KNOW SPOILERS AND/OR B) DO NOT MIND HAVING THE SNEAK PEAK OF TLO REVEALED....YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! HERE LIE SPOILERS!!

So. I got my copy of the Demigod Files today. It cost me £8.05. That's a week's paper round money and some loose change I found knocking around in my coat pocket. I had to hunt for it online, because apparently UK book stores won't stock it. So after I'd hunted and waited like a week because I had no more money to pay for the speedy delivery, I finally got my copy.

And I read the nice little extra bits and stories that were cool, but most of which I could have read online. All I wanted was the Last Olympian sneak peak.

£8.05. £8.05. EIGHT POUNDS AND FIVE PENCE to watch RACHEL ELIZABETH STUPID DARE SNOG PERCY JACKSON IN WHAT CAN ONLY BE DESCRIPED AS UTTER SACRILIGE!

I admit. I used to like Rachel. She was cool. She was quirky and she was cute, and I felt sorry for her. And she saw what was happening with Annabeth and Percy, and she added a little light humour.

IF SHE KNEW WHAT WAS GOING ON BETWEEN THEM, WHY DID SHE SNOG PERCY, HMM?

I'd love to say no offence to the Prachel shippers, but that's not staying true to my beliefs. No, instead I say DOOM ON THE PRACHEL SHIPPERS! LONG LIVE PERCABETH! DOOM ON TEAM DARE, AND REIGN ON TEAM CHASE!

RACHEL ELIZABETH DARE, I SWEAR TO GOD, I'LL HUNT YOU DOWN AND KILL YOU ONE DAY. I'LL PUSH YOU OFF THE BLOODY HOOVER DAM!

This isn't over. I'm calling Nemesis to help plot my revenge. Revenge via fanfiction. I like it.

Back off, RED. If you know what's good for you.

TTYL,

Love,

Ben Barnes in the next Twilight film? WHAT??

For those who are unaware as to Mr Ben Barnes is, he was the star of summer blockbuster Prince Caspian (sooo much better than #1) and was in Stardust, playing young Dustan Thorne (and also auditioned with his boy band to go for Eurovision, which for any non-European readers is the corniest European Singing Contest in the world. Seriously. The only good thing to come out of that is Abba. We're going to lose this year, as well, simply because it's become way too political. But that's not the point.)

(If you want to see Prince Caspian singing, here's the link: V.funny).

But apparently he's playing Head of the Volturi, Aro. I mean, WHAT???

Now that means I have to go and watch the damn movie!

And another thing - does anyone think Peter from Narnia might be gay? This just occured to me when I was watching Prince Caspian and he was delivering some of his lines. Let me know.

Twilight Movie: Nominee For Best Waste Of Money On A Movie Ever

2008-12-30T05:06:00.000-08:00

Anyone seen Twilight yet?

I was cruelly dragged by friends against my will to go and watch the 'eagerly anticipated' Twilight movie (eagerly anticipated by the Twihards or Twerds, as they're calling themselves now) starring Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson has leads Bella Swan and Edward Cullen, the vampire.

Having read all of the books, I find myself in a position where I can make an informed decision as to my opinion on these pieces of fiction brough into this world by Stephenie Meyer, who has been dubbed, in some instances, as the new JK Rowling. This would be another blog in itself if I wanted to start ranting about how COMPLETELY AND TOTALLY INACCURATE THIS ASSUMPTION IS - but I haven't got time to do that rant, so I'll leave it there. (SHE'S NOT JKR, SHE NEVER WILL BE)

Not being a fan of the novels (or a 'Twihard'), I decided that I would, at least, go and see the film with an open mind - if only because I wanted to SURVIVE the screening, because as my dear friend Alice discovered when she posted an against Twilight poem on the net Twilight fans are scary, and they would have killed me if I had done anything remotely anti-Cullen.

So here I was, no popcorn in hand (so unfair. Who knew popcorn cost so much?), ready to watch THE WORST FILM KNOWN TO MAN.

Whoops. Guess I just ruined the conclusion.

I mean, PLEASE. Who told Kristen The Alleged Drug Taking Stewart she could act? And Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner? LAUGHABLE. The two taking the crown for least convincing roles have to be the actresses playing Rosalie and Alice, whose portrayal of their characters was the reason by friend leant over to me and whispered, "This HAS to win best Comedy at the Oscars this year."

The film dragged on, and yet the storyline seemed rush; the dialogue was corny and cheesy; the ending was twee and yet ridiculously anti-climaxy; and worst of all, the gore of Bella's blood on the glass, her bone break, the bite and Edward 'saving' her and, worst of all, Alice SNAPPING THE NECK of James, the avenging vampire, was disgusting to watch.

So if you're into wasting your own time and money, go see Twilight. Or if you have better things to do (which I'm positive you will have) DON'T go and see Twilight anytime soon.

2008-11-17T07:45:00.000-08:00

...to my story. It's called the Conterra Boys, and it's about these five boys, selected to join the Conterra organization in New York City, where they must work to preserve the world around them from the destroyers and creators, who want to tear it apart.

It's up to Elijah West, Ruben Hirst, Alex Furcifer, Mathieu Dupont and Santiago Rodriguez to save the world from a horrific fate - but with betrayal as their only ally, how can they hope to survive in such a world of lies?

Doesn't the title say it all? Needless to say that it's the truth. Another year older, and some fabulous presents...all were amazing - especially a thank you to Alice (GottaLoveTheCoffeeBean - check her out on fanfiction.net), because that wallpaper is freaking fabulous!

And I also found something truly amazing. HARRY POTTER CLUEDO, PEOPLE! Seriously. You can play as Harry, Ron, Hermione, Luna, Neville or GINNY, who is, by far the best character. My friend accused me of lesbianism when I said Bonnie Wright was pretty. I just growled at her.

And I really really think you owe it to yourself to watch this beautiful video - I love the song, and the pics are amazing. All credits to its creator, of course - check it out here

Harry and Ginny are my joint first place all time pairing. Ever. They're on a par with Percy and Annabeth. I LOVE THEM SO MUCH!

So I've started posting my HG stories on here - it's an awesome Harry and Ginny site, and I'm really excited to be writing there, too! I've posted my Lost and Found story and my new HG story, Reflections, on there, and so far the response has been positive - feel free to check it out.

I heard Rick Riordan is in Britain, but my mum won't let me go see him. Boo hoo. Oh well - I'll try to brainwash him into giving Percabeth a happy ending instead. *must-write-more-detailed-kiss-than-page-203*

The Jonas Brothers Are The Worst Evil

2008-09-27T08:28:00.001-07:00

My R.S essay - you know I'm right. DOOM ON JONAS BROTHERS!

THE WORST EVIL – THE JONAS BROTHERS

Young people in recent times have come under criticism for their narrow-minded approach to living their lives – they are constantly reprimanded for their lack of consideration for the consequences of their actions and their lack of attention paid to important life lessons in ethics and morality. For years, their elders have looked on in vain, desperately questioning why on earth their children, grandchildren, nephews and nieces have turned out so careless and irresponsible. Only now has the answer – this true evil in our midst – been unveiled; and it comes in the form of American pop brethren, the Jonas Brothers.

All that this ‘boy-band’ stands for is corrupt and damaging to young minds everywhere. For a start, they describe the genre of music they play as rock – a blatant lie, of course, which so clearly glamorizes dishonesty from a young age. They also have made a priority of singing about flippant, shallow issues such as girls and their affections for them – one video in particular begins with Joe Jonas discussing with his two siblings, Kevin and Nick, that he is sure that a bikini-clad is waving at him; even though the three have publicly worn purity rings to demonstrate their celibacy until after marriage. The three also have talked flippantly about driving dangerously and even murder – Joe Jonas once remarked to an interviewer that he was going to, “kill you, put you in the trunk of my car, take you to the desert, then I’m gonna see if your okay.” Such disregard for morality and consideration is poisoning young peoples mind to the point of disorientation. There are sites across the internet that claim to be Jonas Brother fanfiction – teenage girls across the world are so blind to the world around them and so addicted to this teenage phenomenon that they are even confused as to what is even fact or fiction anymore.

The total disregard the brothers seem to manufacture which is then lapped up by their adoring fans is what is causing this spiral into irresponsibility and lack of consideration towards their futures. They play on the Disney Channel, a channel aimed at children between the ages of 7 and 14, and sing constantly about the pains of adolescence and romantic feelings for the opposite gender – encouraging their younger listeners into growing up at an alarming rate and could potentially lead to more teenage pregnancies as teenage romance is so glamorized. It is this blindness that the band seems to radiate – this total disregard for what really matters – that is causing the damage. It may sound ridiculous, but who is to say that there isn’t a criminal intention behind the Jonas Brothers and their quest to gather legions of fans across the globe? Why do these three boys think that they have any right to distract younger people from their studies and in turn oppress their individual spirit into just another fan who cannot see further than past Kevin Jonas’ hairline? Recently a young, intelligent girl announced to me that “every time she closed her eyes, she saw Joe Jonas” - and that he was all she could think about. One can only hope their domination will soon end and we will be free from this controlling, immoral enterprise that is the Jonas Brothers – before it’s too late.

My Friend Needs Your Help

2008-09-27T07:00:00.000-07:00

The title kinda does its job well, doesn't it?

Now, my friend Bridger is writing a story and when we started the story, she needed a name for one of her characters. I came up with Ruben Hirst, which I've had ear-marked as a good character name for a while - she liked it and so it stuck.

But now I've come up with a story idea that I really really love and she's offered me the name back - in return for my own name, Bronte. So now she needs a character name - she just doesn't know what.

The character is supposed to be hot, young, smart, sophisticated, quite rich but ever-so-slightly arrogant. He has burnt caramel coloured hair (her words, not mine) and dark brown eyes.

Any ideas? Let me know via fanfiction PM or via blog,

Reflections Released!

2008-09-21T07:32:00.000-07:00

I'm happy to say that my new Harry/Ginny oneshot (Harry Potter) has been released! Reflections is a romance story, and it's taken me nearly a whole week to write (mainly because I was writing it in any spare moments I could find!)

I hope you like it - I am considering starting a Harry/Ginny collection of oneshots, but I want to concentrate on finishing off my final few chapters of my Battle of my Labyrinth story! Nearly at the end - Chapter 21! Quite scary, when you come to think of it!

I'm also about to make a calendar to count down to The Last Olympian, the final book in the PJO series, next May! TLO's cover is yet to be released, but I'm dead excited as to what it's going to be!

Nothing else to add for now - I'm still here, waiting for Heroes to re-start. Does Clare turn evil? Are Nathan and Niki really dead? Will Mohinder's sister, Shanti, resurface after all these years? MUCH EXCITEMENT!

Got to go - TTYL,

Happy September!

2008-09-17T11:45:00.000-07:00

Greetings to all!

Sorry I haven't blogged in a while - stupid school, homework, school, a bit more homework...you know the drill. Totally exhausted, but hey! That's just sleepless nights, too excited about the start of Heroes...

Okay! The first piece of news is a huge apology for my less-than-speedy updating. I'm blaming that on school, too. I'm sorry! Writers' Block is a cruel and beastly thing. But now, I have ideas. I have inspiration. Everything's okay.

The second piece of news is that throughout October/November/December I will be taking part in NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) and I already have loads of ideas! Let me introduce Elijah West, my hero (of the story!), Harlow Dennison (his kick-ass abductor!), Ruben Hirst, Alex Furcifer and Beau d'Accordez - they don't know it, but when they are abducted and find themselves in the mysterious Conterra building in Manhattan - with forces at work in their lives that even they could not have forseen....

The third piece of news is that I have the next chapter of With Or Without You ready and waiting and also a surprise story too....

Want to hear about it? Okay, you've persuaded me. It's a Harry/Ginny story - Ginny's POV, in one boring history of magic lesson..but what if History is to repeat itself - or even worse - that history already has?

"The attack was spearheaded by Hussain el-Khalid, who was a fearsome Serbian sorceror with supreme magical talent - he is, in folklore, idolized as the hero of the Battle of Khan-il-Habir, having selflessly plunged into a devastating battle after leaving behind his true love so that his comrades could prevail in defeating their Western enenmies -"

Ginny sat up, her eyebrows furrowing as she contemplated his words. The girl...She shuddered, but she was unable to let her gaze slip out of the window once more. Something about the story had caught her off guard...

Does it sound okay? I hope you liked it - if you're interested, it should be up soon. I've been writing this for days!

Nice to catch up with you - check out my page (http://www.fanfiction.net/believeinthegods) for all my stories!

Okay, I have another story idea...

2008-08-18T10:35:00.000-07:00

Ok, how about this - a short, sweet piece about Annabeth and Percy going on a date...but we don't get to the actual date. It's just when they meet up before the date begins. And Percy is very almost late, but he does something so incredibly romantic and selfless it doesn't matter.

It sounds better than I have described. I promise. That is a pretty bad summary you're looking at.

But anyway. Let me know. CrayolaMarkers, thanks for commenting - your story is amazing.

Check this out - a great, short but sweet Percabeth story - I don't know the author is, but all credit to them. I totally wanted more Percabeth scenes like this in Battle of the Labyrinth, but hey-ho.

With Or Without You - Chapter Ten

2008-08-17T09:13:00.000-07:00

Having just updated my Percabeth story, I feel a sudden urge to write yet another chapter, due to the demand this story seems to have!

My dilemma is what to write! I have two main ideas, but I need help choosing which one to write about.

The first was Percy and Annabeth in the future, in their twenties or something - engaged and living together in New York City. I don't know that after thew last chapter (which was of a predicted future, where Percy's death is imminent and he asks her to marry him, because he hasn't got much time left to live - a little hypocritical if he's alive in his twenties, don't you think?)

The second idea was a songfic using my new favourite song and current obsession, "The Man Who Can't Be Moved" by an awesome Irish band called The Script (check it out here - the lead singer, girls, is rather cute....!) It would be in Percy's POV, set directly after BOTL, when Annabeth is blanking him and being all mean like she is at the end of BOTL.

So, what do you think? The first would be more romantic, the second would include a great track. The first would be more happy, the second would be more thoughtful. I really don't know what to do - and that's where you come in!

Please leave a comment, letting me know which you think would work best - I really need your help here, guys! (And don't just vote for the second one because the guy from The Script in the video looks really hot - almost like an older Percy!)

Thanks once again - happy fanfiction reading!

Love,

Hello and welcome to my brand new blog, Confessions Of A Wandering Mind - where I can share my update news, my beta news and basically have a chat with anybody who happens to stumble across my ramblings.

I'm believeinthegods (you probably guessed), and I'm a fanfiction writer and aspiring journalist. I write mainly for Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Maximum Ride and Harry Potter - my favourite being Percy Jackson, by Rick Riordan.

I've published nine stories on the site so far - my most popular story, Battle of my Labyrinth (Percy Jackson), has twenty chapters so far and total of over 32,000 hits! My most recent story is a collection of Percabeth oneshots entitled With Or Without You, which is probably my favourite story that I write.

It's here, on this quaint little blog, that I'll share the news and views I happen to dream up, and all the fanfiction alerts I'd like to broadcast to the universe!

I hope you enjoy it here - pop back whenever you feel the need; leave a comment, let me know your thoughts and opinions. Have a great day, doing whatever you're doing.
