I'm working hard on the next part of my story.
It's getting harder to keep writing and sometimes I feel like I want to quit but I'm going to keep writing.
I feel like giving you some bits backstory for my story. They might not be totally revelent but they're interesting.
Once I was writing a fan-fic on a fan-fic website. It was about my demigod character Mary.
She was my main character and my alter ego. It was set just after the Last Olympian and since she was 16 at the beginning of my story even Hades (her father) would have broken the 'Big Three' oath. That's part of the reason that I stopped writing. The main problem with that story was that I had absolutely no plot whatsoever. I just wrote whatever I decided and it just failed.
A story with no plot is not a story at all.
So I'm making sure to work on my plot for this story so that it doesn't die.
And Mary has gotten new life as a minor character in this story! She has a ton of backstory that probably won't come into play but it makes me happy to include her a little in this story.
I remember when I first made her up and how she liked to annoy Nico. >:) She once slipped a red sock into his white laundry.
I did a lot of fan-fiction with my sister and our BFF.
Only we didn't write it down, we acted it out.
It was so much fun and we came up with so many ideas and plot lines and weird scenarios.
Mallory came to life during the long nighttime hours of our pre-teen sleepover with no sleep years.
Originally her brother was younger than her and his name was River.
Well his name changed when we got older and our BFF started dating a guy named River. . . it got weird.
Then as I worked on my story I found that it worked better for him to be older than Mallory.
Ben was also a character that was invented durring our years of RPGing out our fan-fics in real life.
Of course originally his mom was a demigod and married to his dad but I had to change that in my story to make it flow better.
You can imagine our heart attacks durring HoH.
"Nooo, now Ben can't exist!"
Of course way before HoH we had deciced that Percy and Nico weren't really keen on Mallory and Ben being close friends so that still works.
Well he does and he'll play a fairly important part in this story.
Hannah is also a charcter that was made up years ago by my sister.  Like Mary she was part of the first series generation, just a few years younger than Percy.

Of course, some of my characters are compleatly new like Jackie, Cassandra, Shawn and a few others who haven't been intoduced yet.

So to be clear,
Charles and Mallory are Percy and Annabeth's children.
Shawn and Cassandra are Jason and Piper's children.
Ben is Nico's son.

I also plan to later introduce some more children of our favorite characters like Grover and Juniper's nymph/sayter children and Leo and Calypso's children.

And for this story Frank and Hazel are also married but they and their daughter (Eliza) won't be main or even minor characters in this story. (although I might mention them) Since both Frank and Hazel are Roman their daughter would be at Camp Jupiter.
(Note: I'm writing my story as if all 7 demigods + Nico survived the war with Gaea even though that is not realistic and Rick has said that not all of them will survive.)
