#polympians

Clarifying right off the gate: This does NOT mean exclusively Percy x poly Olympians, it means any god/Percy ship.

EDIT: I made a sideblog for the event: @polympians-event

EDIT 2: Here's the link to the AO3 collection!

What is the Polympians Event?

What I have in mind is an open event for any and all god/Percy ships. You ship Percy with only one god? Fill the prompts with only that ship! You sail many different god/Percy ships? Fill each prompt with a different ship, if you want! A full Percy/Olympians poly ship, OT3 or any poly constellation? Primordial gods, titans or non-Olympian gods? Any god(s)/Percy ship goes!

I've seen, in recent years, that god/Percy ships have gained quite some traction and I love that, so much. But while there are bigger ships that do have their own events, there are also the tiny rarepairs that don't get these chances, and even with the bigger ones, not everyone has the time/energy to participate in all their ships' events. So one blanket event, where the biggest of god/Percy ships and the rarest of god/Percy ships are equally welcome.

Are there rules to this?

Yes, but only the most basic. No ship bashing or harassment of other participants. The event is open to all god/Percy ships, which means people will participate with your NOTPs too. Don't like them? Don't read them. Instead, focus on the new content to your own ships! If you can't be a civil, normal person about this, then this event isn't for you.

Whether you want to write smut or not is entirely up to you, but you ought to tag appropriately!

What's the plan?

I chose the dates of the Lightning Thief quest for this event! Meaning it will run from May 28th (Percy waking up at CHB) to June 21st (Percy returning the Master Bolt and Helmet).

That length works out well for there to be 12 prompts, and you would have two days to post each prompt, plus an additional 13th prompt on the last day, to keep with the theme of the Olympians.

I'll get an AO3 collection started to which you can submit your entries on AO3 and, if there would be interest in it, I could start a sideblog specifically for this event to which entries (with proper ship tags so you can filter out your NOTPs) will be reblogged as a signal boost.

What are the prompts?

May 28th/29th: Roman

May 30th/31st: wedding/marriage

June 1st/2nd: The sea does not like to be restrained

June 3rd/4th: family focus

June 5th/6th: jealous/possessive [god]

June 7th/8th: role-swap AU (god!Percy/demigod![god])

June 9th/10th: Modern AU/no powers

June 11th/12th: metamorphosis/shapechange

June 13th/14th: godly gifts

June 15th/16th: Aphrodite ships it

June 17th/18th: Percy accepts godhood

June 19th/20th: yearning/pining

June 21st: Mythology

And because I'm bad at phrasing short prompts, here some explanations on what I had in mind with them, though you are of course free to interpret them in whatever manner you read them!

Roman: could mean the Roman aspect of the god, a Roman!Percy AU, or whatever else you want to make of it!

family focus: Are Percy and the god married with children of their own? Percy as step-parent to campers? The god meeting Sally, Paul and/or Tyson?

metamorphosis/shapechange: the gods have a track-record of turning people into animals or plants. Does this mean full animal, or catboy/other hybrid? Is this angst or fluff?

godly gifts: magic powers granted to Percy, or literal physical gifts to court, or something else?

Aphrodite ships it: Aphrodite as wing-woman, hyping and helping, can also very much include Aphrodite/Percy since she would be her own biggest shipper

Mythology: could be a mythological AU where Percy takes on a role from the past, or specific elements of a tale that recur, anything

To be honest, I didn't feel like there was really a lot of interest in it when I did it last year? I mean there was interest before it, but not much participation, so I don't know if it's worth the trouble.

So, here's the question for the masses, I guess. If I came up with another prompt list for an all-inclusive gods/Percy event - fill any prompt with any god/Percy ship that you like, poly-ships included, no ship hate/shame, just a celebration of Percy and whatever godly lover(s) you ship him with - would you be interested in that?

Thank you, I'm really happy about the positive responses!

There is no Discord server. But honestly. Not a bad idea. Just, generally, even outside the event, with separate, mute-able channels for each ship so everyone can engage with all the ships they love while being able to disengage from the ships they don't vibe with. That could be fun, if there's interest in one.

What if Percy is the Minor God of Demigods, responsible for their protection and making sure the gods won't make decisions that will actively harm the demigods....

And what if everytime Zeus proposed some bullshit measure, Percy stopped mouthing on him, or instead threatened to bite his dick off, etcetera etcetera

Just Percy participating on the meeting by.... unorthodox means 👀👀

I mean, I wrote The Omega of Olympus too, so, does that help?

But it's not very likely that I'll tackle something as massive again in the PJO fandom. Juggling like ten love-stories in a fic is kinda exhausting and a lot of work to figure out. I would need an actual idea that makes this worth writing - a plot - because I am definitely not just gonna do a "and they all fuck" thing, there'd have to be a story there that makes me think it's worth writing and then yeah.
