Welcome to 'What Not To Do In Percy Jackson Fanfiction' where I will brave the odds and ends to show my fellow PJO writers exactly what annoys readers and writers of Wattpad the most. This is not to be meant as offensive to the people whose stories may be similar to what I have written, but if you HAVE written a story a lot like the ones mentioned inside where the protagonists are total VS model Mary-Sue's... I humbly beg of you, change it immediately! Because the PJO characters are often frustrated with finding out they have a secret half-sister with magical blue hair and Gucci sunglasses. Percy: *facedesks* Annabeth: *groans* Leo: *sets Mary-Sue's hair on fire* O.O Leo: ..... What? SHE ATTACKED ME WITH HER TERRIBLE MARY-SUE-ISH NATURE! AND PLANNED TO MARRY ME OFF TO HER BFF, JUST NO... ** Warning: Mass hilarity ahead. Read at your own risk! Abandoned (I was 12, Jesus Christ...)

Emerson knows high school can be messy, but nothing could prepare her for Oliver Remmer's return. Dangerous, mysterious, and rumored to be a psychopath, he's the kind of boy everyone fears... and everyone watches. Yet Emerson isn't everyone. She sees the layers beneath his intense exterior-the boy shaped by a troubled past, moments of tenderness hidden under bursts of anger, and a vulnerability most people would never notice. Between the gossip, the chaos, and the adrenaline-charged tension, Emerson can't help but be drawn in. Oliver is unpredictable, and being near him is thrilling-and maybe a little bit reckless. Standing her ground almost feels like a dare. But some loves are worth the risk. Some loves are easy. Back Cover Copy: "Write down one word that describes you." Oliver didn't hesitate. Psychopath. Everyone expects me to run. To stay away. To be careful. But I didn't. Because there's something behind the intensity, the walls, the mystery. Something only I get to see. Because sometimes the thrill of the unknown is exactly what your heart has been waiting for. Set in North Carolina, Open is a teen romance about taking risks, discovering who someone really is, and finding that love can feel mysterious, dangerous... and irresistible. C O V E R B Y @ZiaDavis

Let's get the facts straight. I am no heroine and I will never bring pride to my family. I am what you could call a failure. My grades? Average. My social life? Average. Talents? Hmm... well, I think I have none. I'm not exceptional in any way and I know I'm a disappointment for my father. And in this day and age there's no way I could just take my father's place to save him from a horrible fate.  There is a huge weight on my shoulders but I can't carry it no matter how hard I try. I have no idea what I can do, I only know what I can't do. Yet I still would try anything to make my father proud, even just once. Oh right, I forgot to tell you whom I was name after. Yes, I was named after Mulan, that bright heroine who saved China and brought pride to her family. Talk about big expectations. But Mulan doesn't suit me, so it's just Ann. -:-:- BOOK #4 in the Aware Princess Series flower: Peony, it symbolises "Prosperity, honor (in China)."
