HEY ALL YOU CREATORS OF THE PJO FANDOM

To celebrate 10+ years of our beloved series, why not celebrate with a bang? Well… a mini bang.

What’s a mini bang?
A mini bang is a variation of a fandom big bang, in which artists and writers collaborate. Big bangs usually require writers to write longer works (i.e. 15k+). Mini bangs require a lower word count (i.e. 3k+), hence the “mini.”

SIGN-UPS BEGIN AUGUST 18TH (aka our son’s birthday)

For additional information, you can go HERE. And of course, the ask box is always open!!

If you are interested in helping to moderate / design graphics for this event, please don’t hesitate to send a message here or here! I need all the help I can get!

Hi, do you know any other Big Bang kind of things going on right now?

Hi there!

I know there have been behind-the-scenes plans for other Big Bangs/Fembangs/Reverse Bangs but it seems most of the people who had lead the previous BB, and the people who were planning the Fembang have had their busy schedules take over, as most, if not all, are in college. I’m definitely one of them. 

If you’re up for the challenge I can get in contact with Admin Lilly who spearheaded this Big Bang, and we can help you get started on setting up another Big Bang. There’s no reason other people can’t start up their own Big Bang if they have more time and freedom to do so. uVu Or you can rally other folks willing to make the commitment and just go along for the ride. If it ends up that there aren’t many people out there available to start another Big Bang you can always just do a self-prescribed Big Bang and find someone willing to work with you through writing a big fic yourself.

As of right now though, everyone I know seems to be really busy with other real life commitments, including myself.

Hope That Helps - Admin Kat

"The fight was going great – until he got stabbed. […] The tip of a golden sword jutted through the front of Jason’s shirt, just below his ribcage. Jason fell to his knees.” —The Blood of Olympus "Jason’s day was going great, until he got impaled by a sword. […] The blade of Dick’s sword protruded from Jason’s stomach. Jason fell to his knees and dropped his sword.” —The Luck of Olympus *myth joke: ‘Atlantis?’ Jason asked. ‘That’s a myth,’ Percy said. ‘Uh … don’t we deal in myths?’ ‘No, I mean it’s a made-up myth. Not, like, an actual true myth.’ —The Blood of Olympus “[…]You throw my game off with your knitted brows and your eye-patch. You look like a handsome pirate.” “Pirates didn’t wear eye-patches. That’s a myth,” Jason replied. “You’re a myth!” Percy said, in mocking offense. “…kind of literally…” —The Luck of Olympus

As you lovelies probably know, my bff manuvstheworld​ wrote an awesome fic for the PJO Big Bang last summer. It’s called The Luck of Olympus. Oddly enough, when I stated reading The Blood of Olympus I found some parallels. XD Myths, characters, places, situations they both used, even some lines that were very similar. So here you go, have them in a convenient diagram explaining similarities and differences! Disclaimer: I’m definitely not saying Rick stole Manu’s ideas, of course, but it’s not the first time that some of Manu’s ideas for fics in different fandoms actually appear later in canon, which I think is a testament of what a talented an inventive little guy he is. :3 

(Contain both book and fic spoilers)

And here we have some hilarious comparisons between one of our Big Bang entry's this year and the recently released last HOO book.

The reverse!bang rules and timeline is currently being drawn up and artist sign ups will open at the end of the month! ( to give everyone a chance to read the new book etc.)

WHAT IT IS

  • Similar to a fandom Big Bang, the shipping olympics is an awesome way to get a whole ton of new content while having fun!
  • Teams representing various pairings (Percabeth, Frazel, Jasper, Thalianca, etc.) will compete in different rounds, with the winner chosen by popular...

Hey guys have a look at the Shipping Olympics!

If anyone is waiting around before the reverse bang starts do enter!

Pjo Big Bang 2014 Feeback form

A bit belated but the PJO Big bang for 2014 is now over!

It was an amazing experience for us admins running it, especially in August when we got to enjoy all you amazing work! Personally I'm still reading through the works! The writers and artists worked really hard on all their works and should be congratulated on a job well done!

If you participated in the bang or simply enjoyed the works please fill out this feedback form, it will only take you 5 mins. This will help us gauge how the bang was run this year and how to make improvements for next year!

Please reblog and let everyone know to fill out the form if they participated or enjoyed the big bang! This goes out especially to the writers and Artists!

Some house keeping:

An archive of the works published this year will be made for you to browse through by the end of September as well as some statistics about participation this year for anyone that likes to compare numbers like our Admin Lilly.

The reverse bang is being moved to October through to December as Blood of Olympus will be released early October and we'll all probably be sobbing our eyes out or tearing the book apart in rage. And it's probably best not to bother the fandom during this hard time :)

Title: For the Love of a Triangle

Author(s): Sim

Artist: katietheartist

Beta: Taya

Word count:  30,006

Pairing(s): Percy/annabeth, Percy/Rachel, Charles/Selena

Rating: PG

Genre: romance/humor/angst

Warning (if any): the only thing I can think of is implications of cussing but???

Summary: Percy Jackson, Annabeth Chase, and Rachel Elizabeth Dare find themselves in some interesting predicaments in the winter between the Battle of the Labyrinth and the House of Hades.

Notes from Author/Artist: I can honestly say this experience has made me write better and harder than I ever had before. This is also the longest thing I’ve ever written, so I thank the people at the Big Bang for forcing it out of me.

Title: Close to the Wind Author: theobjectlesson Artist: ohmypercico Beta: Morgan and Anya Word count: 55,012 Pairing: Nico di Angelo/Percy Jackson Rating: R Genre: Action/Adventure Warning: Contains graphic depictions of violence Summary: 

After defeating Gaea, Nico di Angelo fell off the face of the earth, and Percy Jackson just… fell. Disappearing from the world of gods and monsters, seven years finds Percy with his back to his old life, shrouded in the rapidly fading Mist of a tiny town on the edge of nowhere. Seven years finds Percy thinking it might really be over, all just a bad dream about someone else’s ruined life.

But when Nico bursts onto the scene, it’s to convince Percy to come back and be the leader he once was, to protect those that have all but given up on him from the very fear that drove him away. Percy has changed, and Nico needs to find the hero inside the man the war spit out. The world could really use that hero – the Son of Poseidon whose job is never over. Percy could really use the one person who never gave up on him, to help him pick the right side of the newest fight.

If only Nico could decide which side is right. He’s going to need some help.

"“Well, let’s look at the options right here then.” There weren’t any particularly friendly seeming doors by their stopping point. Alabaster pointed to a red door with a symbol carved into it. “That rune means safety. I think it’s our best option.” “Sure.” Ethan reached for the handle, sleek and silver, and stepped through the door.”
