I'd like to see a fic where Percy realizes how fed up he is with Annabeth, and instead chooses to stay with Calypso. Of course, Percy being Percy, he somehow manages to, I don't know, take Calypso on a world tour or something.
Of course, there should be some buildup before he makes the choice, like one simple interaction between Percy and Annabeth or someone else that had lasting consequences and made his choice easier.
Meh, I know it's stretching the OOCness, but I don't care. It'd be a nice read.

 

I want to read a non-retarded fic where Percy chooses to become a god.

 

Might be interesting but there are a thousand of those wandering around FF.net where Percy takes Calypso up on her offer to stay on her island. I thought a little more on it and I was thinking it would be interesting if maybe Percy managed to talk Poseidon into giving her a probation sentence that if the Gods let her off of Oggyia then she has to help them beat back the Titans. Has a lot of potential I think, Annabeth and her overwhelming jealousy issues, the fact that shes a daughter of Atlas like Zoe, getting to see Calypso kick some ass, I don't have nearly the talent required to make it readable though so I just thought I'd throw the idea up here.

 

Have any decent stories to suggest?

 

That could actually be a great explanation for the number of Half-Bloods that joined him. Especially if the Roman camp wasn't as hostile towards him as the Greek camp.

Though I don't think Percy met all of the Greek Half-Bloods. I mean there would be some that left before he came there, and others who were the children of lesser gods who never went to camp but weren't hunted too much.

As somebody else said, there are fics out there about that but I don't recall any decent ones. Then again, I haven't looked for awhile.

Besides, when Percy arrived in Ogygia I don't think he was as 'fed up' or, perhaps better 'frustrated' with Annabeth as he was later. By the end of Battle of the Labyrinth and much of The Last Olympian however I could see this possibility being more realistic. Just my opinion though.

 

I would love to read a good story with Calypso and Krogan's idea sounds pretty good.

Regarding Percy's godhood. I think we are blowing this a bit out of proportion. In the end, the godhood that was offered to him was not one that was equal with the big ones. Heck, I believe his would be akin to one of the really minor gods so it wouldn't be that big of a promotion. Sure it would be nice, immortality and all that but he wouldn't wield the power that gods like Poseidon or Dionysus possess.

 

That's why the best god!Percy story would be one in which he isn't granted godhood as a reward, but rather where he takes power like all his family before him.

 

I could read the story if it were well done, but it could be easy to turn such a story into a massive pile of fail as well.

 

Wait, in the unlikely chance the story was not fail, wouldn't that entail possibly killing but surely imprisoning and/or chopping up his dad?
And I know Poseidon won't win the best dad of the year award, but Percy likes him.

 

Doesn't have to be his dad. It would just need to be a god. I'm not sure how the other gods would view Percy taking out one of their own and demanding a place on Olympus though. Ares is certainly ripe for an ass kicking though. I never really liked how he was portrayed in the series. I much preferred the awesomeness that was Ares.

 

But his family was born as gods. They were on the same/similar level as the titans since their birth. We would need a good explanation on how a half-blood could forcefully take the power of a god and make it his own.

Maybe a story where he manipulates the gods into raising him to godhood so he can fight off Kronos at their seats of power. And after everything is done, he uses the weakness of the gods and disables/imprisons/"destroys" Zeus or whatnot.

I don't know, have only shitty ideas right now but I would like some good reasons for it.

 

If you want Percy to be raised as a god the best story way I could think of to do that would be to have Sally take Poseidon up on his offer to build her a palace at the bottom of the sea while shes pregnant and then have Poseidon hide him and raise him in secret at the bottom of the ocean for fear Zeus would kill them both like he did with Hades woman Maria and attempted to do with his kids.

 

Actually, dunno how I got this idea, but I would like a good fic where Percy was raised on Olympus. And Zeus didn't hate him for a change.
OR, Percy accepts godhood, and slowly as the years pass he gets more and more powerful.

 

I was thinking more along the lines of Percy starting out as a demigod as in the story, but starts accumulating more and more power by inches - sort of like he actually does in the stories.

As time goes on he gains more and more abilities and starts encroaching on the powers of the gods.

One thing that got me thinking about this was D's explanation of the gods' powers relying on the beliefs of the humans they ruled over through the myths and the overall "spirit of the West." If that's true of the gods, then what happens when a demigod is acknowledged individually by every Olympian out there and who is chosen as their champion time and time again? What happens when the titans start acknowledging him too? What happens when all the demigods look up to him?

That's a lot of powerful people giving him significance. I'm thinking of a fic where Percy sort of gets elevated to super-demigodhood, then moves on from there.

 

That could actually work, though I think he'd still be raised as a half-blood but knowing about it all of his life and with others (some with similar abilities) around to help him learn his powers, he could be massively powerful fairly early on.

Which I suppose could lead to the next one...

If done right, I think this one could also be quite decent. Combine the two of them and I could certainly see it happening.

 

So, I'm only really at the end of the first chapter, but this fic seems to be pretty good so far:

The Broken Bow by Xed Alpha

It's well written, and it's extremely intriguing so far. The gist of it is that there's a son that Artemis doesn't know about who came to existence in extremely mysterious circumstances that I don't know about yet (again, I've only read the first chapter), and cool stuff happens.

Give it a shot; I think it's better than 99% of PJO fics out there (not that that says much) and there are 3 other fics in this series.

Hopefully I'm not prematurely recommending this...it could easily become instafail, for all I know, but so far it looks good.

Edit: At the end of chapter 2, am definitely going to continue reading.

 

Just thought of something. Percy at the start of the series knows nothing of his heritage as a demigod. Not about his father, about the culture, traditions, fighting techniques, whatever.
And pretty soon, his waves kick ass left and right.
What I'm saying is, that if Percy was raised in Olympus/sea palace/wherever near Poseidon and was decently trained from an early age, we could have at our hands one of those fics that plague the HP fanfiction community, where teenagers with godlike power go around bitch-slapping bad guys. But in this case, not only would it be perfectly realistic, it would be fucking cool.

The good thing with the PJO community is that it was recently born, and it will only raise in number of fics. We can hope that among all the crap, some fics will rise at the top, like with the HP community.

 

Artemis has a son? I'll be honest that sounds weird. It does make me want to see an Artemis Fowl gets transported to the Percy Jackson universe though. Even without the powers of a god/demigod, Artemis Fowl is a fucking beast. He'll kick your ass while maintaining his perfectly manicured fingernails.

 

Yeah, that's sort of what I was saying in my last post. Combine those two ideas together and I really think you might just have something there.

As for the fanfic community, yeah, hopefully. Of course PJO is nowhere near as popular as HP so it will likely never be anywhere near as big. And the complete failure of the movie means that lots more people won't find the series that way as I think many did with HP. I did, at least.

I'll read it later when I have time, but I really do hope they give a decent reason for there being a child of Artemis.

Hah. I'm sure Artemis Fowl could figure something out to deal with the lack of a divine parent. He'd come up with some clever scheme to get the Olympians to give him something.

 

So I'm almost done with the 4th chapter (there are only four chapters in the first story) and it is completely worth it, just for the experience of reading a non-sucky PJO fic. And yes, there is a reasonable explanation for why Artemis has a son.

It's funny you should mention Artemis Fowl; it appears that in the fourth story in the series, Armani (Artemis' son) gets transported to that universe and something happens. I don't know how good it will be, but I can wholeheartedly recommend reading the first story in the series, at least.

Also, I think I once read a PJO cross with the Artemis Fowl universe. It involved the Dare family having connections with the Fowl family, and Rachel + co needing Artemis Fowl's help to find Artemis the goddess (who was kidnapped or something). It wasn't that great, but it wasn't horrible either, and I thought that the character of Artemis Fowl was nailed down pretty well. I don't think it's been updated in a while, though, and I can't remember its name (shouldn't be too hard to find, just look for Artemis Fowl/PJO crossovers in FFN).

But yeah, I would drop everything to read a really good PJO story with a scheming Artemis Fowl.
