I've just been thinking about the countless reasons why I love the Percy Jackson series (and the HoO series too.) Of course the books never fail to make me laugh and it's so well written! I remember how easily I could relate to it when I first started reading it. I was 12, the same age as Percy, and I've always struggled in school. I still do. Even now I feel like I relate SO much to Leo and his struggles. I love being able to relate to books. Also the characters...a book is nothing without good characters. Luke is one of my favorites, and Nico. Because I've always had a really big heart and I always want to help people like them. Can I just hug them please? lol. So whats your story? I love hearing about these things:)

I fell in love with the series when i opened the book, cause i can relate to Annabeth in so many ways. I love how it has a real depressing feel in the long shot, but it's light, humerous and quick-paced. Nico is my fave character by far haha! I really like Luke and Leo too:)

I love Percy Jackson because he's got that humour and he's a caring boyfriend. I've had countless amounts of times when I've wanted to be Annabeth. But anyway. He's also one of those people who can turn their lives around from living with Gabe and then 4 years later hanging out with his best pals but not all the time (why do they have to fall!!!!!!)

I first found Percy Jackson as I was wandering the aisles of my elementary school library. I saw "The Sea of Monsters" and I started reading it, got REALLY confused, and then proceeded to find the lightning thief. I have read it a total of... I think eleven times? The reason I love Percy Jackson is because it seems real. Like the characters seem normal, and Rick Riordan makes it modern, like there really is a 600th floor to the Empire State Building. (well, who says their isn't) Besides their Olympian powers, the demigods seem like normal people walking the streets of Manhattan. It brings you into kind of a parallel universe that you think, this should be real.

The first time I read Percy Jackson was in sixth grade. It was cool because I was the same age as Percy when I read the Lightning Thief for a class project as we were studying Greek Mythology. I fell in love with the subject immediately and fell even more in love with Percy's world. I seriously had no idea what i was getting myself into. I read the Percy's warning about reading the book and ignored it like millions of others. I HAVE NO REGRETS!!! My mom first introduced it to me back in 2010 when the Lightning Thief movie came out. I watched it before I even knew there was a book series. My humble apologizes to the Fandom. Then I read the book. I have never been more pissed in my LIFE. I love the Percy Jackson series because I love the adventure. Adventures are ma THANG. but also because the book series appeals to a lot of different people. Demigods seem like they could be walking the earth today. When you read this books, you feel like it could actually be real. Greek gods and monsters and titans. It's really fun to be a part of. Praise for Rick Riordan!!! BLUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUE FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!

I think Rick Riordans skill as a writer is boundless. It feels as if you're stepping into the story with Percy and over the course of both series you develop a bond I think with Percy. Is it only me that proper roots for Percy in HoH I mean I like Jason and everything but when the chapter says it's Percy or an abet hi actually like do a little dance haha

Luke is one of my favorites, and Nico. Because I've always had a really big heart and I always want to help people like them. Can I just hug them please? lol. So whats your story? I love hearing about these things:) Hey newbie ya I'm new to this to. I actualy found this sight only seconds ago and I mean lidderly seconds. My story is quite long and it's late but long story short it's pretty complicated and when I say pretty I mean very. But I'm actualy seeking some advice ya I know it's been a year since you wrote but I'm gonna tell u any ways. As u could proselytize tell by my name I love percy Jackson and I'm also a harry potter fan as well. Ya Percabeth ya Potterheads. Your probably wondering what does this have to do with any thing? Well I'll tell u even though as I said before your probably not listening. Well u see this girl wrote a crossover of the 2 and put it online and I found it amazing it was totally publishing worthy. And this girl would write little notes to her fans at the end of each chapter and she seemed very nice and totally creative. Later I looked on her page and found her much like me. No it's not even funny her description was exactly me just a touch more girly she even looked like me.But any ways she was taking a long time to uploaded her next chapter so I decided to see if I could find out when she would uplode it. But i found something weird I checked the date of the last quote she wrote and it said 3 months ago.it shouldn't take that long then I found a link to an other website she was on and apparently still on and I found on her resent stuff a lot of sad things about love not fitting in, just really sad things like that. Something bad ovyusly happens and I can tell she's not coming back to finish her amazing story. But she has to, I want to help not just for the end of the story but as I said she seems so much like me and I know what sadness feels like if were alike as much as I think then I know exactly what she's feeling. I also have this feeling that I just have to help that it's destined and my gut has never steered me wrong. Now I just need to know what to do I have a pretty good hunch it's heart break but I can tell it's more than that she went to whereing pink to black I don't think she become, I don't know dark? but she is defenitly getting there. How do u help a 16 year old girl with a problem that u don't know what it is?
Anyone have any advice? If newbie does see this please answer, you seem like the helpful type. But please I'll take any advice I can get! And if u can I would like a chat buddy just write a QUOTE/message on this website next to mine and I'll get back to u as soon as possible. And sorry this is so long I'm just really tired.

Oh no you didn't! I have nothing wrong with me! I AM A GOD! I hate mortals! ugh! i'm done with you! Ok let's just start over. To tell u the truth in the books I didn't like u much but that was Percy's point of view there could be more to the story. As I say there's always 1 side, the other side and then the truth. If u don't insult anyone I like such as percy Jackson I won't bother u. I'm sure u have lots of stories being a god and all, tell me. Just nothing grose or violent. Ya I know your the god of war. Sorry.
