WE NEEDZ UR HELP Y'ALL!!!!!!
2 min read
Hello once again, tens...ahaha, sorry...ONES of people actually reading our schtuff, its me, Ariana again. for those who care, our next chapter will take a while because we have just restarted the next chapter due to a golden mc'guffin that needed to be scrapped and we have pretty much rearraged some chapters and made changes and school is starting up again and y00adda yadda yadda point is, don't hold your breath, uploading will probably be slower than it already is.
So..yeah...why we need your help, you see.... our story is missing something rather important; a freaking title. We've been wracking our brains and NOTHIN', as you can tell cuz all our chapters are just labelled 'book one'. I know we have fan in the states who have been reading and trying to come up with something (oh sidenote to those people, why haven't you watched us yet? GOD show some love over here!!! [PIA THAT MEANS YOU]) buuuuuut we need to come up with one, especially because we have a title dropper in the next chapter sooooooo yeah. We know you guys are smart, as long as the title relates to our Greek demi-god story, it'll be fine. I think you have the gist of what's gonna be going on generally, so we need a title to sum it up, or like a group name for our four characters, I don't know, anything is better than what we came up with.
So please, do us a favour...LEND US YOUR BRAINS!!!!!!!! Comment on what you think our name should be, Suggest anything, you never know, I don't care if you comment on this journal like a million times with different names, we just need SOMETHING!!!!! If we pick your title...uhhh.... Rachel or I will do some art for you. Yeah..really. Just look at our stuff here
and 
well..maybe not mine so much, i dont have a lot on there but Rachel can do kickass pixel schtuff so yeah......pleaseeeee?

well its my turn to write something as you heard from Ariana i've been vacationing a lot.... france, hawaii, portugal, spain, italy, africa so yes we haven't been able to write as much as usual at least we have all the chapters we can edit if we find the time too
sooo.... yeah what else can i write about i'm sure you guys don't want to hear about my obviously boring summer.... Oh i'm working on getting some art out to go with the chapters..... hopefully i will get something done..... this got awkwardly quiet really fast.... oh well if you have any questions feel free to ask i guess my life is on the computer when i'm not out traveling so i'm on 24/7...... awkward
EDIT: oh i almost forgot we have an editor YAY so we will be editing the ones that are already up and the new ones so they will hopefully make more sense and not have as many errors

Why, hello, our tens, nay, ones of people who actually read this....it's Ariana, one half of the self-proclaimed 'geniuses' behind this page and story....
Things have been going veeeery slowly...I just put up Chapter 7 of this thing and I am taking my time in editing Chapter 8. It's kind of hard for me to get stuff up, or even have the motivation to write sometimes...but lately there have been a number of reasons. So to annoy the hell out of the people who will be receiving a message notifying them of this journal, and to maybe gain some motivation to write, these are the reasons why I'm having trouble with writing.
1) I AM NOT A WRITER. It's rather ironic that I have taken up writing as a hobby when the one class I loathe and despise is English. I don't know, maybe it's because in English we over analyse things to the point where you lose appreciation for the piece of literature, or it's the idea of being forced to write that turns me off...and there isn't too much creative writing...although I really suck at that.
2) The chapters are old. I haven't uploaded a lot, and I just started to upload like a month ago, buuut the first twenty something chapters are already written, believe it or not. The reason why it's taking forever for this to come out is because, well...its old. I haven't read many of these chapters in months and the writing wasn't that good in the first place, so basically we've been going through each chapter, editing and revising, elevating vocab, etc etc until your head aches. And it really doesn't help that I'm a perfectionist, though with this I only look at it until I really can't take it and give up.
3)My co-writer isn't here. If you haven't figured it out yet, I write these chapters with my best friend Rachel; she was the one who told me to start writing, and she was the one who kept pushing me until I got into the idea. We're a good team. Imagine a plate of food. She would be the main ingredients, the star of the dish, she writes a lot of the back-bones and the plot and the big general idea of the story. On top of that she writes all the fight sequences (which I REALLY suck at. The cheesy Cerberus one? Yeah...that was sadly me.) and she gets me pumped and helps me with ideas when I'm low. See I'm more the other ingredients and sauces and whatever that elevate the main ingredients to bring it to a new level. I write a lot of the dialogues, some descriptions (actually that's a half and half job), I make details coherent and flow, check facts, make our confusing stuff make sense, insert vocab and edit grammar, all that stuff.
But yeah shes not here. She's off travelling. I usually am too but this summer, we didn't travel as much, unlike Rachel who went to France, Hawaii, and now Spain and Portugal. The lucky....anyways I can't collab with her like I usually do and there have been some major details I've had to change and I like to check with her because, you know, its not just me writing this....soooooo yeah that sucks.
4) I'm doing a little side project. Rachel and I have been trying to make sketches of the characters for this page. I suck at drawing people, even though the sketches aren't realistic, but the fact that I can't get it right is motivating me more to get it right. It's a bad cycle (stupid perfectionism). Besides, I'm a visual artist first and foremost, not a writer. ART is what I do...so naturally the idea of drawing captivates me more than writing does.
5) The biggest and more apparent reason of all is that I HAVE A LIFE. I don't spend my days sitting in front of the computer; I volunteer, have siblings and neighbors to babysit, I got out with my friends, I'm human, sue me.
Oh....and I procrastinate a lot too, I mean look at me, I just spend the last few minutes writing this instead of writing chapters. FAIL. Just watch, after this I'll vow to write and then wind up on Youtube, Facebook or even play Tetris or Solitaire. C'est la vie....
So that was my rant. Rachel, i know you won't be happy about me undoing you're HTML stuff on the links buuuuuuuuuuuut it's cool right???? You can write a rant about how I took up the journal space to rant, I'll be a thing
Anyways, peace out, Imma write something soon I swear....kinda....don't get your hopes up.....

"Welcome to our Deviant Art page. Our names are Ariana and Rachel. We are two teenagers from Canada who have decided to write a story together. Our story started from a really weird dream that I had, This dream ended up continuing through both of our heads and we decided to write a story about it." Ariana explained.
"IT WAS MY IDEA!" Rachel pipped in
"Yes it was your idea. Anyways since, I would say we've been working together to write this story for a LONG time, and it just keeps getting longer and longer"
"So we have decided to post our story up here for you all to read. We'd love to hear your comments and ideas as well as critiques which are very much appreciated. NO TROLLS ALLOWED."
"New eyes are always a wonderful help because after you've read the story as many times as Rachel has, its easy to pass over mistakes"
"I've read it about 60 times already! Well whats been written. IT'S AWESOME!"
"So were sure your getting bored of reading this so here are some links to the chapters we have posted so far. Happy Reading!"
Book 1
Prologue
Chapter 1
Chapter 2
Chapter 3
Chapter 4
Chapter 5
"You're still reading this? Well, how about some more info about us: Ariana and I are both in RAP art (for those of you who don't know what that is its a Regional Arts Program featured in our highschool). I do quite a bit of computer art though im not that good at drawing with my tablet yet, but i can do lots of stuff like animate in Photoshop and flash. I know how to use Illustrator,though I mostly use Photoshop; i also enjoy using Sculptris to create awsome 3D models. I am also experienced with graphic coding though I'm no expert.
Ariana is quite good at graphic art as well and she is an exellent writer. We collaborate on ideas, I do the fundamental writing with most of the battle scenes and descriptions, and Ariana does all the dialogue, expands on what I have, and does all the flowery revising and editing stuff"
"Rachel are you still here? Come help me write, I need a battle scene for this next part..."
"I'm coming! Well, I hope you guys enjoy reading our story, and have a nice day. Bye!"
If you enjoyed reading our story and have time, you should visit Ariana's boyfriends page. He writes fanfic stories.
