Hey!
I'm going to try something new. It's called "Question of the Week". So basically, I'll ask a question, and you answer. Then I publish the stats and several specific answers at the end of the week. The questions are going to come from your nominations through our Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/percyjacksonfandom), your comments here, and email (PJOForever@gmail.com). This week I made up the question.
THIS WEEK'S QUESTION IS:
What was your initial reaction when you finished the Mark of Athena?
Answer below!

There's a new post on Mr. Trolldan's blog. In this, he wraps up the MoA tour, recommends a YA series to read, and [EEEEEEEEEEEEEP] answers questions.
The reason I am writing this post is because of this:

The reason I am writing this post is because of this:
"The one thing I can promise regarding The House of Hades ***SPOILER ALERT**** At the end of Mark of Athena, Nico senses that Percy and Annabeth are still alive, despite the incredible danger they are in. Nico is right. They are alive. You WILL find out what is happening to them in the next book. They don't disappear from the story. **** END SPOILER ALERT*****"OH MY FLIPPING PERSEUS JACKSON. THEY'RE ALIVE. DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW AMAZING THIS IS? All the fangirls (and fandudes), stop slowly dying, CUZ PERCABETH IS OFFICIALLY STILL ALIVE (for now).

My Apologies and Fandom Stuff
HELLO!
First, I'd like to give you my apologies for being a horrible blog manager person and not posting for 9 days. I really don't have much to post. My Mark of Athena aftershock is starting to wear off, and my ideas are still too long to put into coherent, written words. As an apology for not giving you anything of interest, I am going to share with you some of my favorite Percy Jackson things that you can find on the good old world wide web. :)
Let's start out with some Facebook pages, my personal favorite. :)
I Am A Half Blood - Ah, Nuddy. Nuddy is the wonderful admin of this fan page, and she's totally random. She talks about a variety of things, as well as Percy Jackson. GO CHECK THIS AWESOME PAGE OUT! (Pssssst.... she's got a fan page too!)
I Love Every Percy Jackson Book - Another one of my favorites. It has 13 dedicated admins that converse with their fans and post A LOT. Admins Zoe and Rachel have been known to give out links and screenshots to read parts of the PJO and HoO series. (Wink wink ;)) You can't help but love these admins and their page!
"I'm incognito. Call me Fred." ~Apollo, The Titan's Curse - BEAUTIFUL page. With 3 awesome admins and plenty of pictures that will lead you to be consumed with feels, what else can you ask for? :)
Harry Potter, Hunger Games, and Anything By Rick Riordan - Another one of my favorite pages. It's also great if you love Harry Potter, Hunger Games, and the Kane Chronicles! :)
Some more pages to like:
"You Drool When You Sleep." -Annabeth Chase
HP, PJO, and THG. It doesn't get better than this
Percy and Leo Rules
And of course, make sure you the Facebook page for this blog! It's updated much more frequently than this blog, for more of a chatty experience. lol :) - Percy Jackson Fandom (100% Unofficial)
NEXT UP: Tumblr blogs!
Percy Jackson Moments - probably my favorite Tumblr blog. Like, ever. The edits are truly beautiful and the person who runs it is so nice!
Percy Jackson Confessions - Another great blog, with lots and lots of posts! :)
Why We Love Percy Jackson - All the reasons why we absolutely adore Percy and his awesomeness!
A Reader's World - A relatively new blog. Go check it out!
AND other random fandom-related things:
CassJayTuck - THE BESTESTESTESTESTESTESTEST YOUTUBE CHANNEL OUT THERE. Check it out! But warning: When she says "Book Review", she really means "Book Discussion/Rant", because they are filled with like 123270931002734992784 spoilers. Each.
Burdge Bug - Ah, Burdge. She's such a talented artist, and she does a LOT of fanart and it's all so wonderful! Such an inspiration :') Here is some of her work:
Camp Half-Blood Wiki - A fan-created version of Wikipedia ESPECIALLY for Percy Jackson and Heroes of Olympus.
Well, that's it! Enjoy! :)

Comments
Seriously, the people who comment on here are hilarious and awesome. Here are some things you should know:
- We do not sell Big Macs here.
- I really can't give you any advice on blogging, as I'm a beginner as well. I just write down thoughts I have relative to Percy Jackson, and I also try to keep up with any news about future books or other things going on with RR.
- I love hearing your opinions!
- Yeah, that's pretty much all I can think of.
Yeah.. so... Yours in demigodishness and all that! PEACE OUT!
I finished the Mark of Athena. [Spoiler free.]
So, about 14-ish hours ago, I finished the Mark of Athena.
Wow.
I know, I know, I was supposed to do reactions as I went along, but this book squeezed WAAAYYYY too many adventures and little problems into it for me to review and go over. I got lazy. I'm not perfect, okay?
Honestly, it hasn't quite sunken in for me. I'm still in denial about... certain things. (Spoiler free... spoiler free... must. remain. spoiler. free) There's no telling when it will. Days, weeks, months, I'm not sure. But I'm almost sure that you should be expecting full-on spoiler laden rants sometime in the next few weeks. Be prepared, apprentices.

My Mark of Athena Reactions/Rant So Far
Warning! Includes Mark of Athena spoilers! This goes up to pg 137 (The middle of Chapter XI). Please no spoilers that go any farther than that in the comments!
THE FEELS.
Rick Riordan is out to destroy me.
Let's start from the beginning:
Terminus and his antics... Expected. But after that... the Percabeth Reunion. GAHHHHHHHHHH! So cute! They kiss, then Annabeth JUDO FLIPS PERCY! OMG! I love her for that. :') And then Jason is all like, "Uh... she doesn't usually Judo flip people..." and Annabeth is like, "Only my boyfriend!" SO CUTE.
I loved the talk between Annabeth and Reyna. I think they'd be really good friends if they didn't have the camp issues separating them. Words just can't describe how I felt about two of my favorite characters finally talking to each other...
Oh, and about Reyna... I have so much respect for her. I love her character. She's civilized and in control. My heart just broke for her when she realized that Jason was dating Piper. </3 Jason is so oblivious! Ugh! Typical male. :P
Now, Leo. Leo was possessed by one of those evil spirits whose names are escaping me. That scene made me upset and I just wanted to cry! My poor Leo <3 I feel soooo bad for him. Everyone is pairing off into couples (Percy and Annabeth, Frank and Hazel, and Piper and Jason) and he's just... there. No one appreciates him :'( And I'm just yelling at the book, "LEO! I'M HERE! I CARE ABOUT YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
The Nemesis scene was interesting. Interestingly enough, although she was a little mean, I liked her character. What she had to say was confusing, yet interesting. Wow, I just said interesting 3 times in a paragraph...
Narcissus and Echo scene: LOL. That's all I have to say.
Piper's blade visions: NOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Bacchaus scene: Ok, Percy mouthing off this guy made me laugh, for real.
Jason/Percy Fight Scene: WHOA. This is the part where the feels got to me. They can't fight! They're bros!! Those stupid spirits! But when they got back... now that part was hilarious. "If there was an ocean in Kansas..." and then Annabeth, "I'm sure you'd both be great at killing each other..."
I'm sorry for writing briefly about the parts, but so many thoughts run through my head while I'm reading a book. If I wrote down EVERYTHING that I was thinking, then it would make a book twice as thick as MoA! xD So if you have anything PARTICULAR that you want me to discuss, leave a comment with the page number and/or chapter and/or a really detailed description, because otherwise I'll just be doing certain things. Don't be shy! I love getting comments on here! :)
Happy Reading!

Here's what's up.
We all know what tomorrow is.
The Mark of Athena! Here's the thing. I will be posting A LOT. I'm gonna post my initial reactions as I go along. The frequent posts will probably start tomorrow. I'll post the page number, chapter, and/or percentage (depending on what I'm using: Kindle or hard copy) so you'll be able to tell if you've gotten there or not. First thing I'll post is the title of the next book. (Probably will be up around midnight.) Second thing will be the 4 narrators. After that, my reactions will start. IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW WHAT THEY SAY, DON'T READ THEM. I WILL post spoiler alerts. Okay? Expect a flood of posts!
