Hey everyone, Hephaestus here! I'm not dead, woo!

Just so you all know, this update is being put in Champion of Olympus, The Half-Blood Wars and PJ Characters in 99 Words.

I just wanted to put out this AN letting you all know that I'm sorry for updates being slow, but I'm working on getting some stuff out. I've also been working on commissioning character artworks on Fiverr the last few weeks. I intend to get at least a sketch done of every major character in Champion of Olympus, Daughters of Olympus and The Half-Blood Wars. So far I have artwork of Astraea, the MC of DOO, Freyja from THBW and two concept arts of characters from DOO, Kala Fredrick and Rana Muhammad, both girls being half-bloods with inhuman features.

And it's because of these character artworks why I'm making this announcement, I've put up three Polls on my Twitter to decide which artworks I'll get done first, I'll get them all done, I'll just get them in the order of votes. I have a Poll for COO, DOO and THBW, so you have three options to vote for. If you only read one story, then you can still vote for a character from that story!

I know not everyone has a Twitter, but if you do, then please head over there and vote for your favorite characters or which one you want done first. Wanna see Percy, Jason, Nico and Leonidas in their full armor in a battle scene from COO ch.19 'Three Wolves And One Lion'? Or a cute artwork of Leonidas, Eos and baby Astraea? Or perhaps one of a family portrait of Percy, Annabeth, Astraea and their 'to be revealed' child? Then head over there right away and vote! The Polls will be up for 7 days starting today, so do it now before they close.

I'd also REALLY appreciate it if you guys followed me while you were over there, I'm trying to build myself a writing platform and every follower or fan helps more than you know. I'm going to be starting my first, original novel "The Northern Rings" later this year. I plan on uploading a few chapters on Wattpad to build an audience, then, hopefully, I want to actually publish the book. But that won't be for years to come, sorry. I wanna take my time with it and not rush it. Once I edit and beta them, I plan on putting the chapters on my Pat-reon so my Patrons can read the chapters before it gets published. This way I can get some more income to at for publishing AND I get reader feedback. A win-win if you ask me. Synopsis for The Northern Rings to come out at some point, no idea as of yet.

Plus, I have two series to work on here on Fanfiction. Oh yeah, did I mention that Daughters Of Olympus and The half-Blood Wars are going to be series? Guess I just did, lol.

Feel free to ask questions in Reviews or PM's, but remember that FF still hasn't fixed notifications for PM's, so I might be slow to reply.

I hope to finish COO Ch20 Part 2 this weekend. And once COO is finally over I'll be starting THBW, it is LOOOOONG overdue, I apologize for that, guys. I didn't mean for it to be this long. But I've been working on the story outline and plot and I gotta say, I think you guys will really like it! I hope, lol.

And while you're over on Twitter, I created an Account for Astraea, the MC from Daughters of Olympus. It's part roleplay, part additional info on her character and the world she lives in. I've been posting on it daily and will for the next few months. I'll be using the account to give you guys hints to the series and additional info on her as the main character. If you wanna get to know her before DOO starts, then give her account a follow. It's Stronger_ThanU and mine is the same name as on here!

Anyway, this has gone on long enough, so I'll end it here. I hope you guys have a good one,

Hephaestus
