Author has written 12 stories for Percy Jackson and the Olympians, and Legend of Korra. I bid you a good day! My name is Alex (not really, but play along). I'm a Junior, and I've enjoyed reading since I was four years old. I believe no subject (save history, maybe) is as important as the ability to read. I have enjoyed writing, and honing such skills, since I was of the age of eleven years old. I have written numerous drabbles, one-shots, half-way completed stories before, but rarely did they get finished. I'd either lose motivation, no one would ever read them for me, or people found them boring, etc. So I decided, to hell with it, I'm writing and uploading my stories in ! I've been lurking around this site forever, reading numerous stories form numerous sources. If you want to know more about me, have a chit-chat, heart to heart, whatever, message me! That being said, I hope you enjoy my writing! My current story (Heavy Is the Head That Wears the Crown) deals with a typical 'xyz years later' on the Percy Jackson universe. There's a lot I want to do with this, and it's probably my favorite story I've ever written. Favourite Texts; Rime of the Ancient Mariner Julius Caesar Romeo and Juliet A Midsummer's Night Dream The Aeneid The Iliad The Odyssey The Percy Jackson and the Olympians series The Heroes of Olympus series The Kane Chronicles The Art of War Any texts by Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle I like the good morals that the Koran, the Torah, the New Testament teach. Favourite Films; Inception Black Swan Casablanca The original Star Wars trilogy Charlie Chaplin films Saving Private Ryan Hannibal Lecter films Jesus Christ Superstar Sherlock Holmes (I like far more, I'll add them when I can use my memory!) Favourite People; Confucius Aristotle Thomas Paine George Washington George S. Patton Dwight D. Eisenhower John F. Kennedy Muhammad Moses Buddha Atilla The Hun Sun Tsu Ulysses S. Grant Stonewall Jackson William Sherman Vladmir Lenin (Again, I'll add more of my inspirer's later) Favourite Quotes; "Veni, Vidi, Vici,"- Julius Caesar "An eye for an eye only makes the whole world blind" - Mahatma Gandhi "Now I have become Death, destroyer of worlds," - Robert J.
