Warning! May contain Lightning Thief spoilers!
Did you ever notice how in books, you always get a view from the inside? Well, in real life, usually we get a view from the inside, and we are quick to judge. Here is what I am talking about:
In The Lightning Thief, Percy is know as a trouble-making kid in the news headlines, but we see that he's just trying to get to the Underworld to find his mother and the lightning bolt, and avoid monsters in doing so. But everyone watching from the TVs in their homes is thinking that this kid is some kind of mentally unstable menace.
Sooooo, what I'm saying is: Don't judge too quickly, because everything is not what it seems.

Some Fan Fic by Yours Truly :')
This is my first full attempt at PJO Fanfic. Lemme know if you like :)
Well, Tyson was VERY unhappy.
Earlier in the day, Poseidon had personally thanked his son for leading the Cyclopes into an epic battle by granting Tyson his favorite thing in the world...
A 3-ton jar of Skippy.
Now that Tyson was back in Poseidon's domain, AKA the ocean, he couldn't open his beloved jar of peanut butter without it getting horribly soggy. And THAT was his reason for unhappiness.
Well, Poseidon heard of Tyson's little dilemma. So, he did the fatherly thing and took matters into his own hands. He immediately ordered a giant plastic dome and an oxygen tank from the Amazons. Reliable service, those Amazons are. Free two day shipping on his order, too!
Two days later, the Amazons delivered Poseidon's order. He put the dome over the ginormous Skippy jar. The merfolk began pumping the oxygen into the dome right away. Soon enough, Tyson had a place to enjoy his non-soggy peanut butter. And that really made the big guy's day.

Kane Chronicles in Manhattan
Warning! May contain Titan's Curse and Throne of Fire spoilers!
So, as you may know, I'm reading the Kane Chronicles, also by Rick Riordan. In the Throne of Fire, the second book, I found this quote.
BTW, was anyone else thinking that a crossover series or book would be AMAZING?

"When Sadie and I first arrived at Brooklyn House, Amos had told us that magicians tried to stay out of Manhattan. He said Manhattan had other problems-- Whatever that meant. And sometimes when I looked across the water, I could swear I was seeing things. Sadie laughed about it, but once I thought I saw a flying horse."Ok, just think about this. HELLO!?! Blackjack, anyone? Flying horse? Manhattan (Olympus)? PUT TWO AND TWO TOGETHER PEEPS! :)
BTW, was anyone else thinking that a crossover series or book would be AMAZING?
What's Up?
Sooo.... I've had a little blogger's block lately. I feel like I need to blog SOMETHING Percy-ish, you know? If you have a topic that you think I should blog about, or a question for me, I'd like to know!! So just leave a comment here, on the Facebook Page, or tweet using the hashtag #AskPJOFandom with your idea/question/comment. :)
