LETS TALK SCRIPT WRITING BASICALLY
┌─── · 。ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───┐
I ACTUALLY FEEL AGONISING PAIN writing this one I'm not even going to lie to you all. Now you may be confused about this title and subtitle. Venus, what the hell does script writing have to do with pjo fan fic? Now I'm not literally taking about writing a script people, pls. This rant is gonna be covering the writers who blatantly take other canon lines and actions and copy and paste that shit onto their own work in the words of their own ocs. Was that clear enough? Sometimes I ramble.
ANYWAYS, THIS METHOD OF writing has me rolling in my grave and if I see another one I might just

PLEASE, PLEASE PLEASE for the love of all things good stop stealing lines in the books of other canon characters and making them ur own ocs. The whole point of fan fiction is to literally create your own character, and what comes with creating your own character? Their own fucking lines. I'm being to mean bc I totally did this when I first started out, hell, I did it in Young God before I quickly re-edited it so no one could see and it wouldn't haunt me for the rest of my days.
CREATING A CHARACTER means you can quite literally do what you want. You can have their personality be whatever you want (to an extent but we'll get to that in another chapter.) so why are you making them steal Annabeth's lines? You genuinely don't need to do this. While it's obvious you'll have to skip over certain moments that take place to entertain/make room for your ocs couple (for example I had to skip over Annabeth and Percy's good luck kiss and replace it with something of my own in Young God ... okay I'll shut up about my book now) but that doesn't mean you can invent some for yourself. Make them have late night conversations, make them react to things differently, make them suggest things and get shot down. With another person in the universe there are bound to have things change or switch up. All I'm saying is don't be afraid of having your own character. If they're there for a reason, show me instead of making them a script puppet. ??? Is that even a fucking word, okay nvm.
IN CONCLUSION If I see another script written plagiarised canon line stealing fic im drowning myself. Also no offence I've read the books I can see and remember whose lines those are 💀
