That was an awesome post -postpones the smiting for now-

Ooo, all the groups are going to have so much fun! Erin's run into her ex, Arianna is off her medication and already showing slight mood swings, the blind chick will be dodging a monster in a large glass dome!

Haha, so much fun!

Am I the only person who thinks this is turning out better than some of Riordan's works, or is it just because I'm getting older and more used to more mature stories?

Both, I took inspiration from Riordan's stories when I first started getting into it, now I'm writing my own demigod stories! But, it also has to do with us all growing up and becoming more mature, with the themes and the collaborating of the roleplay with everyone's ideas, it makes it so much more interesting. I love it! You guys all make me so happy that I restarted this roleplay! Thank you all so so much!

People who write to a specific audience also tailor their style and syntax toward said audience. Riordan used familiar themes that were simple, along with simple sentence structure and word flow. It was written in hopes of attracting a young, teenage audience rather than a young, adult audience that books like Harry Potter and Twilight and Hunger Games were more geared toward. Those books had, like Vic said, more mature themes, laden with underlying tones to parallel certain societal and political issues that have been arising, or have been an issue since older eras, i.e. Hunger Games' dystopian government reflecting our own.

Riordan refrained from that, kept things simple rather than complex. There were no double meanings to the lessons he had Percy learn. His text isn't laden with underlying tones and sub-text geared toward making readers think deeper about the world around them. It's refreshing as an adult, endearing, even, but the best memories of it were as a child, when adventure and epic tales meant something different than it does to us today. :) Plus PJO gave us Greek Mythology without all the sexual context and consent issues and realistic violence most epics would contain. Great education for a young mind without traumatizing it. o_o

Though I will say that abandonment issues and abusive parents is a mature issue he touches upon, which is very mature but I don't think he went about it in the way books like Divergent did. But nothing in regards to Divergents conformity or segregation themes, or Hunger Games' dystopia and revolution, or Twilight's dubious consent issues and sexual themes, etc. I mention these because they're fresh in my mind and things like Dan Brown's books and To Kill A Mockingbird weren't necessarily focusing on attracting younger audiences

I read the ending of Twist and Shout during my break.

I came back and my coworker was like, "The hell happened to you?"

"I dun wanna talk about it. ;_;"

But I just read the ending, not the other chapters. And then I turned on Pandora and Ingrid Michaelson's cover of "Can't Help Falling In Love With You." I GASPED COUGHED SOBBED. ;_; And then I cried some more.

Good afternoon everybody! It is once more that time where I put up one of the other roleplays I run as well as new ideas! If you would like to rejoin the roleplay (or join it), please feel free to do so.

Here is the link for all those who still want to be in this roleplay (or wish to look it over): Aulani Academy - Daemon Roleplay

ALSO for all those of you who are in the Camp Half-Blood roleplay but haven't posted in a while please try and do so before the week is out (friday my time) as I will be doing a clean of characters to keep the roleplay moving. As of this post it is: Tuesday the 14th of October for me. I don't wish to be mean or anything, so if you cannot post but still wish to be in the roleplay; please, please, PLEASE shoot me a PM and we can talk. I am your GM and here to make sure that everyone has fun and is happy! You have my word that I do not bite!

Thank you for your time; now, let's roleplay! :D
