About (OOC)

Ave! I'm weirdoughnut (a.k.a. Donut), and you've found my little corner of the PJO fandom! More specifically, you're on the site I made for my fan series, New Romans and the Hunters of Diana—which is how I'm assuming you found this site. If you got here some other way: well, what the fuck, hello! No matter how you wound up the Argiletum, I hope you're enjoying your look around. Read my note in AO3 for more details.

...Or keep reading, because I'm going to tell you, anyway [click to expand]:

In the NRHD universe, I've inserted myself as a child of Apollo (who's got no idea if Dad was Greek or Roman nine months before I was born*). I replace Uncle Rick as the writer for the Rickverse's Greco-Roman books—since Senior Scribe Riordan is busy raising funds for the two camps through the Disney show, of course. I operate relatively in the current year, but I'm writing about events from 2011 onwards with some time-warping native to Rick's stories (ex. Lester's mention of Pokemon Go (2016) in ToA, which took place in 2011). This makes me the (underpaid) "First Scribe" of the Greco-Roman union that formed after the Second Gigantomachy.†

This site primarily houses info that I can't smoothly insert into AO3. And web dev is a horrendous hobby for me to indulge in, too. Since you and I are living in the aftermath of NRHD, there's probably some things on here that give you an idea of how a character's holding up!

About New Romans and the Hunters of Diana

I started NRHD after reading ToA, disappointed that Reyna joined the Hunt—she believed needed possibly centuries to heal from her trauma, which in no small part includes experiences of ace-phobia. I didn't think that Reyna or the Hunters deserved to be uncritically charaterized in this way; the Hunt is more than a last-resort for emotionally fractured maidens on the aroace spectrum. I decided to try my pen against the Rickverse's allonormativity and the magic laws/boundaries that I felt were too untouched—enter the Hunters, stage left. Enter, as well, the protagonist Noemi: an aromantic lesbian with overactive tear-ducts and a real knack for keeping things on the down-low.

Required for reading NRHD are all main books up to The Blood of Olympus; otherwise, I provide context in the relevant AO3 sections. Not for everything (ex. I know you know Jason dies), but I do my best!

[Expand me for more specifics on NRHD's canon compliance.]

NRHD begins one day after the end of The Sun and the Star (which I shorten to "TS²"). NRHD is completely compliant up to HoO, mostly compliant with ToA (the divergence is in the details), and minimally compliant with TS². I've disregarded everything published after TS², occassionally make references to side books or other media types, and have included some crossover into Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard. At the time of writing, I have no plans to include The Kane Chronicles (but when I re-read... you'll see. You'll all see...).

TL;DR:

Necessary
- Percy Jackson and the Olympians
- Heroes of Olympus
Optional
- Trials of Apollo
- The Sun and the Star
- Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard

* I tried asking Mr. A. The dude doesn't remember.
† I've dubbed it the "New Society", which you can learn a little more about here.

But I must explain to you how all this mistaken idea of denouncing pleasure and praising pain was born and I will give you a complete account of the system, and expound the actual teachings of the great explorer of the truth, the master-builder of human happiness. No one rejects, dislikes, or avoids pleasure itself, because it is pleasure, but because those who do not know how to pursue pleasure rationally encounter consequences that are extremely painful. Nor again is there anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain of itself, because it is pain, but because occasionally circumstances occur in which toil and pain can procure him some great pleasure. To take a trivial example, which of us ever undertakes laborious physical exercise, except to obtain some advantage from it? But who has any right to find fault with a man who chooses to enjoy a pleasure that has no annoying consequences, or one who avoids a pain that produces no resultant pleasure?

The next set of boxes are of fixed height. If you're looking to replace the old 3-column layout, this is... probably the closest thing I can offer right now?
