Hello readers! Leonidas here! I know that this should at the very least be the easiest thing for me to update, I mean it doesn't take that long so I apologize. This are busy, hectic, or both and I'm trying to balance everything. On that note, Happy New Year! 2017 is going to be a great year for all of us, I just know it. This year, I'm going to try my best to update more often, but as usual, I don't know if that'll happen. Anyway, here are some more of your comments.

Enjoy!

"Gnizama"

@Major_Nich (12/11/2016)

It took me a while (and the internet) to figure out that you just typed 'amazing' backwards. At first I tried to translate it and google detected it as Chichewa for gnizama.

"*salutes author* that is so true."

@bunny1692 (12/12/2016)

At ease soldier. *salutes back* Thanks for the vote of confidence. I just don't like meaningless arguments in my stories. Guys are not inherently better than girls and vice versa; that's just the way it is.

"This is really good. Even if they are just comments from the chapter. It's still really good"

@bunny1692 (12/12/2016)

Thanks! I've seen this idea in a whole bunch of different places, and I thought it would be a great way for me to interact with the community. It's official, fun, and I hope people get a kick out of it.

Familiar Faces

"i like the story you just don't update that much which annoys me if you update more often this story would be amazing"

@chickengrandgeneral (8/13/2014)

Of course I have to put in the classic "UPDATE!" comment. Back when I first started Percy Jackson: The Hunter Wattpad was just a fleeting hobby. I wasn't quite sure what I was doing or why I was doing it, you feel? Now my life has gotten a helluva lot busier what with school and clubs and scholarships and internships and everything else that goes with all of that. (I'll be damned... The only excuse I don't have is a girlfriend...). Once again, I'll do my best to update, but they may not be as often as you all would like.

"I always used to think the one in the jacket was percy but I see now that it's Thalia..."

@LivvyLondon123 (1/18/2015)

I can understand where you're coming from. A lot of the same descriptors are used for both Percy and Thalia, while combined with the style of drawing. Also, Thalia is no older than twelve in the drawing which means that she hasn't quite...developed yet.

"Ah Zoe rember casterate first questions larer"

*Crosses legs slightly* That is a very bad idea. A very, very bad idea. Who agrees with me? Every guy? Good.

"Ah girls. So blunt. Will you stop hitting me? No. Not until you stop looking at the hunters like that."

@kingguidorah (5/4/2015)

The thing is he wasn't...

"I like this story!!!"

@ohboyimscrewed (5/11/2015)

Thank you very much! It makes me really happy to hear that people like my writing, especially since it's not something that I've really focused on in my life. I just love the idea of world and character building, it's so much fun!

"That's my birthday"

@idiot_mode (7/20/2015)

Well then happy birthday! (to be delivered on your birthday)

"Oh the irony."

@OhYouSillyMouse (10/19/2015)

Well she has to at the very least keep the façade going.

"I'm not THAT bad"

@---_0c1us_0m3ga_--- (10/31/2015)

You're probably not. I know two of my stories feature the Hunt prominently, but I actually don't like them. They are incredibly sexist and unreasonably violent. Feeling attraction towards another person is natural, and it would be against the natural order to try and fight against it. Not only that, but it is an invasion of someone's life to try and force your ideal onto them. The Hunt is a cool concept, but I think that a lot of what they do is morally incorrect. Isn't it at least somewhat hypocritical that they judge men as a group, and not based on the individual? The whole "paragon of feminine independence" thing they got going is all well and good, but not when you decide to castrate an adolescent boy (you know puberty and all that) who decides to merely look in the direction of a girl. I also think it was incredibly stupid that they wouldn't let Bianca interact with Nico. He's her BROTHER! What's he gonna do to her?

Sorry, rant over.

"She is a oracle or augury I swear"

@Goddess0fWolves (3/14/2016)

Well no, but I guess that's what happens when you live for two thousand plus years.

"'Family Luke, you promised.'

Too soon?"

@HttydAndRotg (3/22/2016)

Not really. I have...my own opinions on Luke that the fandom seems to uniformly disagree with, but I'll leave that for later (possibly)

"He sounds like a 4 year old. :) :)"

@The_Fallen_Angel45 (4/1/2016)

For, six, what's the difference? Pipsqueaks are all demons anyway.

"Ah girls you can't live with 'em and you wanna live without 'em"

@bigE123321 (4/2/2015)

As funny as that statement was, I'd like to remind you dude that us guys are outnumbered in this fandom. (Actually we might be outnumbered everywhere other than Star Wars and Trek....)

"No boy is worth not joining the hunt they will leave you hurt and sad"

@gabbi0616 (4/28/2016)

*pinches the bridge of my nose* Do we really need to do this again? Not every guy is a bad person. Most of us are actually very good. A little more crude than women perhaps, but still. Lumping us together like that is rude and uncalled for. Every person is unique and different and you must take time to learn about every person, not merely jumping to conclusions based on GENDER of all things. I mean, that literally splits the world straight down the middle.

"Take a step back, then cut at the upper arm"

@nightshard60 (4/29/2016)

Not a bad strategy in theory, but attempting to do that as a counter to a downward strike is very difficult. I would recommend deflecting the blade to the outside then circling towards your opponent's inside. This squares them up and opens pretty much every vital target. If you're fast enough, then you can get a strong cut or stab to a vital spot. Of course you do have to account for the fact that the opponent is also moving and trying to counter you so the direct approach might not be the best idea... *begins muttering to myself*

"A girl has rights to smack OBOMA If she wanted"

@kathlean0295 (5/13/2016)

...uh why? Now everyone has a right to their own political opinion, but I'm assuming that you are going more for the gender angle. Take note that slapping someone without a reason (No "Because I wanted to" is not a reason) is considered assault and may be brought to court. Just because you're female do not expect guys to just let you just slap them. A guy who is truly for gender equality might actually slap you back, so be prepared.

And understatement of the year goes to PERCY EVERYONE GIVE HIM A ROUND OF APPLAUSE"

@Carl_loves_pudding (5/17/2016)

*ducks quickly* Stop practicing with the bow Percy! I'd like to survive here!

"Omgs, I'm just dying of cuteness here"

@Rotjeee (6/11/2016)

3...2...1...CLEAR!!!

"Nah, it's funny hitting boys! Hitting boys, not hitting ON boys, just hitting them"

@Rotjeee (6/11/2016)

Nope, that's it. I'm going to do it again! I've said it at least three times in this chapter alone. So now I' going to ask that can we please stop the whole gender-shaming that goes on whenever there's a Percy & the Hunt story. Not just on my stories, but on everyone's? Please?

"Yes is Percy immortal or nah"

@Posiden_14 (8/10/2016)

No, in this story Percy is not immortal. He is not female and therefore the blessing of Artemis cannot affect him. He's just a normal demigod...If such a thing exists...

"NOOOOOOOO NOOOOOOOO NOOOOOOOO NO!!!"

@yuentay (11/15/2016)

YESSSSSSS YESSSSSSS YESSSSSSS YES!!! (Why were you saying no, I can't recall)

"WAIT. EVILLY???"

@yuentay (11/15/2016)

*shrugs* I was a crappy writer then, I thought is was a good sentence. Just go with it.

Well I finally updated again people. I hope you liked it. I'd also like to apologize to anyone I offended with my opinions. This is a pretty heated debate among PJO fans, but that doesn't change my opinion. It is my opinion and I have every right to maintain it. If you disagree, so be it, but don't try to insult me in the process. (I don't insult easily so it's a waste of everyone's time) Just message me, telling me what you think in a calm, logical, well thought out way. That's how discussion works. Insult-throwing isn't discussing (or debating for that matter). Anyway, as always I love to hear from you all and remember you can either comment or pm me, I try to always be available for criticism, suggestions, or even just to talk if that's what you want/need.

Keep being awesome people,

~Leonidas_son_of_Nike
