Hello everyone! I am ShadowsOfHades. I like books, Marvel, Broadway, books, reading, writing fan fiction, books, watching cooking shows, Percy Jackson, books, Harry Potter, most dystopian series, My Hero Academia, and books.

You often imagine your books becoming movies. Spell check is your best friend. You'll spend an hour trying to find one word because you wouldn't dare use a synonym. If I use a word to describe a thing, and then use the exact same word to describe the exact same thing later in the story, I have to change it because it bothers me Not being able to write is like not being able to pee, you just can't hold it in for very long. You write so fast, you leave out words in a sentence. Things that are written badly annoy you and make you want to rewrite them better. You laugh at jokes you wrote yourself. I write less jokes, more sarcastic humor You can spell words like 'troublesome' but can't spell 'the' half the time. The words "and" and "the" are the banes of my existence If you are not writing or typing, your fingers are moving constantly. When you have to write some sort of story in class, you get carried away and write like ten times more than everyone else, including the teacher. I'm not kidding; one time my teacher gave us a creative writing project with a six page limit, she gave me an extension, and I wound up writing 45 pages You would rather die than use words like 'good' or 'nice' and etc. You put off the last chapter of a story because you don't want it to end. If a story, movie, show, etc, finishes without a suitable ending, you have a powerful need to write it better. Isn't that what most fanfiction is though? You like to fidget, tap, or chew on the tip of something when you are trying to come up with a new sentence, paragraph, chapter, or story. I need food when I write otherwise I go insane (more than I already am, of course) You are in love with the Thesaurus. You dream of new stories. You often revisit some of your old stories. And I cry at the absolutely shitty writing Someone can call your name twenty times and you still don't hear them if they're writing. You would rather write than go out. Your/you're and their/there/they're are errors that send you into an apoplectic fit. They bother me so much... I hate when other writers discount them and don't pay attention to them because they are different words with different meanings You get cranky if you don't get to write that day. Thankfully that doesn't happen too much anymore since I'm at home all day from quarantine You've heard/seen/thought something and thought, I need to write that down. You wake up in the middle of the night and scrabble for a pen and paper you keep next to your bed to write down a scene to make the voices be quiet so you can get some sleep. What do you mean, wake up? I'm still awake in the middle of the night because INSOMNIA Getting a scene finished is more important than the bathroom or food. A blank wall becomes a screen where the scene you're writing plays write in front of your eyes. Even though you try your hardest to resist, you sometimes find yourself correcting your own grammar. You've apologized out loud to a character after doing something horrible to them. Score: 23/27 GUY/GIRL QUIZ GUY you love hoodies Whoever invented the hoodie should be given a Nobel Prize you love jeans dogs are better than cats. My dog Jameson is the best dog; he has anger issues and he gives literal hugs it's hilarious when people get hurt Does this make me a bad person you've played with/against boys on a team shopping is torture It depends at some point in life you wanted to be a firefighter you own/ed a DS, PS2 or Sega sad movies suck you own/ed an X-Box I have a PS3 and that's a console gaming system so I'm saying yes played Hotwheel cars as a kid you used to be obsessed with Power Rangers you watch sports on Tv I'll watch most sports, just not soccer, track, or golf, also known as the most boring sports on the face of the Earth you go to your dad for advice you own like a trillion baseball caps you like to go to high school football games you used to/do collect football/soccer/baseball cards baggy pants are cool to wear it's kinda weird to have a sleepover with a bunch of people I'll do it with 4 at most; any more just make it uncomfortable green, black, red, blue or silver are one of your favorite colors All of them are great, especially black you love to go crazy and not care what people think you love sports Hockey, college wrestling, and American football are the best you talk with food in your mouth sleep with your socks on at night I do sometimes but other times I don't Score: 18/25 GIRL cats are better than dogs No way on Earth. Cat's are devil spawn. you wear lip gloss/chapstick Nope you love to shop Again, depends you wear eyeliner you wear the color pink you go to your mom for advice you consider cheerleading a sport Not really... you hate wearing the color black How could anyone hate wearing black? It goes with everything! you like hanging out at the mall you like getting manicure and/or pedicures you like wearing jewelry skirts are a big part of your wardrobe shopping is one of your favorite hobbies you don't like the movie Star Wars It is an outrage that anyone would even consider saying yes to this question you were in gymnastics/dance in grade 2 My mom was a gymnast so she wanted me to try it it takes you around/about one hour to shower and get dressed you smile a lot more than you should Haha I never smile unless it's an evil villain smile you have more than ten pairs of shoes you care about what you look like Only on important occasions you like wearing dresses when you can you like wearing body spray/cologne/perfume you love the movies I feel like this is kind of gender neutral you used to play with dolls as a kid Dolls are terrifying like putting make up on someone else for the joy/joke of it like being the star of everything Score: 3/25 THE 27 COMMANDMENTS OF FANFICTION 1. Thou shalt not post a fic until it has been checked for spelling and grammar errors. The Fanfction gods hath given you a spellchecker on the computer for a reason. 2. Thou shalt not post a chapter of less than 100 words, unless it is a drabble. This displeases the masses. Forget 100, I'm disappointed if an author posts a chapter less than 1,000 words 3. Thou shalt not put Author's Notes in the middle of a story. 4. Thou shalt NEVER use text-speak in a story, unless the the characters are actually texting. This bothers me more than I care to admit 5. Thou shalt keep to one tense, and one only, throughout the story. Do not switch randomly. 6. Apply the above five to POV's as well. I don't mind when POVs change by chapter, just not in the middle of a chapter, and it has to make sense 7. Thou shalt not get offended when someone makes fun of the crack pairing in your story. It probably is quite funny. 8. Thou shalt not use ,;, or :( to show the emotion exhibited by the character. 9. Thou shalt try to keep characters in character! 10. Thou shalt not treat every criticism as a flame 11. The Authors Note is not a spot for personal drama, and thou shalt not make it so. 12. Thou shalt not put any form of the phrase 'first fic' in the summary. I actually don't mind this... 13. Thy created characters must not have names exceeding five syllables in length. Nor shall thy name exceed five words in length. 14. Thou shalt not insert thyself into the story as a character- yes, we know that thy is in love with thyself but we don't need to read about how thy ends up with the main character. I hate self-inserts, as well as stories where an OC is the main character; it just rubs me the wrong way 15. If thou art writing a story that differs from the original plot line, thou shalt point it out in the beginning. 16. Thou shalt not make a person randomly smart or powerful unless stating a reason for the change (a good reason). 17. Thou shalt show not tell. 18. Thou shalt NEVER use the phrase 'I suck at summaries' in-est thine summary. This annoys thine readers. 19. Thou shalt not write the same way thou speak-est- writing is an art. 20. Thou shalt ALWAYS spell the word 'Okay', right. ' 'K' and 'Ok' are not acceptable compromises. 21. Thou shalt only use cliches when (a. thou art writing a parody and (b. find a new and interesting twist to make cliches bearable to thine readers. 22. Thou shalt always separate dialogue from two separate speakers in two separate paragraphs. Otherwise thine readers will be confus-ed. 23. Thou shalt not EVER make a chapter all one paragraph. THIS INFURIATES BOTH THINE READERS AND THE FANFICTION GODS. THOU HAST AN ENTER KEY FOR A REASON. 24. Thou shalt not write with thy caps lock on, it displeases the masses and causes thy readers to lose their vision and make angels weep. 25. Thou shalt know how to spell the character's names correctly before you writeth the fic. Misspelling the name of the main characters makes readers angry and distracts from the story. 26. Thou shalt not say in thine summary "summary inside". This shows lack of creativeness and infuriates the masses. The only exception is when a summary is cut short and a continuation of it lies inside. 27. Thou shall use paragraphs and space the story so it is not terrifyingly daunting to thine readers. I made that mistake with my first fanfiction; someone pointed it out to me in a review, so I read the story through the eyes of a regular reader and I was horrified WAYS TO KEEP A HEALTHY LEVEL OF INSANITY 1. At Lunch Time, Sit In Your Parked Car With Sunglasses on and point a Hair Dryer At Passing Cars. See If They Slow Down. 2. Page Yourself Over The Intercom. Don't Disguise Your Voice. 3.

Skip down the hall Rather Than Walk and see how many looks you get. 8. Order a Diet Water when you go out to eat, with a serious face. 9. Specify That Your Drive-through Order Is 'To Go'. 10.

Dog Medication: Warning: Use care when operating a vehicle. Don't worry, my dog has his driver's license 2. Children's Asprin: Warning: Keep away from children. Who uses it then? 3. Curling Iron: Warning: Do not use while sleeping. 4. Candle: Warning: A burning candle is fire. Even Ariel is smarter than this idiot; she at least asks why it burns 5. Frozen Pizza: Warning: Do not eat before cooking . 6. Blanket from Taiwan: Warning: Not to be used as protection from a tornado. Did someone actually try this? 7. Frisbee: Warning: May contain small parts. Have I been using a frisbee wrong all my life? 8. Butcher Knife: Warning: Keep out of children. Well I should hope so 9. Railroad Sign: Warning: Beware! To touch these wires is instant death. Anyone found doing so will be prosecuted. So the government prosecutes dead people? 10. Hair Coloring: Warning: Do not use as an ice cream topping. What moron decided that this was a good idea? 11. Dial Soap: Warning: Use like regular soap. This makes me wonder what irregular soap is 12. Puzzle: Warning: Some assembly required. Oh really. I had no idea. 13. On a Sears hairdryer: Do not use while sleeping. Well there goes my time for doing hair 14. On some Swanson frozen dinners: Serving suggestion: Defrost. Don't worry; it's just a suggestion! 15. On Tesco's Tiramisu dessert (printed on bottom): Do not turn upside down. Too late 16. On Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding: Warning: Product will be hot after heating. Is that not what the word 'heat' means? 17. On packaging for a Rowena iron: Warning: Do not iron clothes on body. Again, what dumbass tried this? 18. On Rolex Scooter: Warning: This product moves when used. It saddens me that some people would think otherwise PERCY JACKSON QUIZ 1. Percabeth or Prachel? I don't really ship Percabeth anymore, but I have to answer Percabeth. Perachel can go die in a hole. 2. Favorite guy character? My favorite is Percy, but that's everyone's favorite, so I'm also going to say Nico. 3. Favorite girl character? I don't know... I don't really have a favorite... Probably either Hazel or Clarisse 4. Favorite non-Big Three god? Probably Hermes. He's the Greek equivalent of Loki, since he's the god of lies and trickery. 5. Favorite goddess? Hestia. 6. Zeus, Poseidon, or Hades? Poseidon, since he's the cool uncle who won't kill his nieces or nephews for trespassing in areas that literally MILLIONS of people go to every day (yes, millions of people go to the Underworld; think about it for a second) 7. Is Luke hot? No. Just no. Although I do like his scar... 8. Would you join the hunters? Not really. 9. Archery or sword fighting?' Well, they both have their uses. Archery is long range while swords are short range, and they're both badass in a fight. 10. Iris Messaging or Hermes Express? I don't know... Iris Messaging only works under certain conditions that are very hard to meet, and Hermes Express isn't as aesthetically cool. 11. Favorite Minor God/Goddess? Easily Thanatos. God of death with big black wings and a touch that kills people? Yes please. 12. Favorite book? PJO: The Lightning Thief 13. Least favorite? PJO: The Titan's Curse 14. Would you like to live year-round at Camp Half-Blood, or just in the summer? Probably just the summer. I'd still want to see family and go to school and all that. 15. Favorite couple? Canon: Will and Nico 16. Are you a demigod? Isn't it obvious? 17. Who would be your parent? Hades. 18. Favorite minor character? Probably the Stoll twins. They like to laugh at other people's suffering, especially the suffering that they caused themselves. 19. Ethan or Luke? Ethan. He's got an eyepatch. 20. Favorite monster? Tyson (yes I know he's not really a monster but he is technically a monster by genetics) 21. Camp Half-Blood or Camp Jupiter? Camp Half-Blood.

I can never bring all of the books that I want to bring!! Noticing distinctive birthmarks or markings on strangers and spending way too much time wondering what kind of Animagus they are. Spotting an owl and expecting it to stop and deliver your post. Whispering Lumos every time you turn on a light/ Nox every time you turn it off. When all you want is a warming Butterbeer-seriously, is that too much to ask? I love Butterbeer Finding yourself on an inconsolable heap on the couch after re-reading your favorite character's death even though you've read it hundreds of times and knew it was coming. Snape... Making random hissing noises at snakes hoping that your Parseltongue has been lying dormant all these years and one day, they'll answer you back. Why do so many people hate snakes? They're actually really cute! The abject horror at finding out that one of your friends hasn't read the Harry Potter series, followed by a serious internal debate at why you're friends with them in the first place. Not joking I've actually done this ... followed by an indescribable jealousy because they have such a glorious journey of discovery ahead of them. Very true Experiencing a kind of rage that only sending a Howler will soothe. An angry text or a sharply worded email just isn't the same. Can't even tell you how often this happens Learning how to knit so you can recreate the socks that Dobby made for Harry. Eyeing up eccentrically dressed strangers and wondering if they're wizards in disguise. When you're stuck outside on a freezing cold day, lamenting the fact that you're not Hermione and can't conjure up warming blue fire in a jar. Shouting Alohamora confidently when you're locked out, only to discover that you're still locked out because that's a stick you're holding, not a wand. People catch you reading Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone/Any Harry Potter book and say, "Haven't you already read that one? cough cough MY PARENTS cough Binge watching all the films and giving yourself a headache from crying so much. I never cry during movies because I'm a heartless human being Bellowing Expelliarmus at people during arguments. Being asked to give a speak and discovering "Nitwit", "Blubber, "Odment", "Tweak", don't quite cut it. Desperately wishing being an Auror was an legitimate career. Now what am I supposed to do with my life? Catching sight of a cat with 'spectacles' around its eyes and wondering... *walks up to cat* Fancy seeing you here, Professor Mcgonagall When you wake up with a head full of Nargles and no one else understands. Staying up until twelve in the morning on all of your birthdays, desperately wishing that Hagrid will come and give you a letter to Hogwarts after all this time. I stay up past twelve on all nights, not just birthdays Randomly quoting the Harry Potter books to your friends and they all look at you blankly. Most of my friends don't look at me like that because they are cultured people who have read all of the books When you start reading another book and have to stop because it's just not Harry Potter.
