:star: This is NOT an RP group! If you are looking to RP, you have come to the wrong place!:star:


:iconexcitedspartaplz: !!!!!!!!! ATTENTION !!!!!!!!!! :iconexcitedspartaplz:

*IMPORTANT*
If you ever happen to notice in the Stalking Widget that ~BoltIsTheBest , !PointsForPeople12 or ~kyla127 have visited, let me know.
They two of them are THIEVES who have stolen from this group well over half a dozen times combined. So if you noticed they've been here or you happen to stop by their page and noticed they might be ripping us off again, let us know please.


Below we have the rules and regulations of the group, what we accept and some helpful links that you can use. You MUST read them thoroughly and completely, or you will not be accepted into the group.

:star: Do not skim them, we WILL know!!!
Seriously guys, it's really NOT that hard. You will NOt be accepted unless you read all the rules, and telling us "I read the rules" in your join request proves you didn't.


:bulletyellow::bulletpink: Use these links to navigate the group:bulletpink::bulletyellow:



:bulletpink::bulletyellow::bulletpink::bulletyellow::bulletpink::bulletyellow::bulletpink::bulletyellow::bulletpink::bulletyellow::bulletpink::bulletyellow::bulletpink::bulletyellow::bulletpink::bulletyellow::bulletpink::bulletyellow::bulletpink::bulletyellow:


*New Join Request policy, read the rules to find out more*


:icontheplz::iconmoreplz::iconyouplz::iconknowplz:


:star:Rules :star:

:bulletgreen: All Members Must Submit a Profile
-If you are looking to submit any art or literature into this group then you MUST submit a profile for your character. The group has it's own profile, do not use a different one. I created two profiles for use in this group, you MUST fill out ONE of the profiles for your characters.

*New cap on characters: all new members can submit a max of TWO characters each.

:bulletgreen: No Big Three Children
-The Big Three cabins are closed. We will not be accepting any more Big Three profiles. They are too often poorly made, underdeveloped, Mary-Sue self-inserts who only exist so the creator can live out their wish of being a child of Poseidon or whatever. So, no more.

:bulletgreen: No children of Primordial Deities or Virgin Goddesses
We will not be accepting children of the Primordial Deities or Virgin Goddesses as they do NOT have relations with mortals and look down on them as inferior. If you submit one, they will be declined immediately. Here are the one's we won't be accepting from:
    Chaos - The Void/God of the Nothingness
    Gaea/Gaia - Goddess of the Earth
    Tartarus - The Underworld
    Nyx - the Darkness of Night
    Chronos - God of Time
    Erebus - God of Darkness
    Hemera - Goddess of Daylight
    Uranus - God of the Heavens/Father Sky
    Hestia - VIRGIN Goddess of the Hearth
    Artemis - VIRGIN Goddess of the Hunt


:bulletgreen: Submit to the right folder
Simple. Follow it.

:bulletgreen: No more dolls/character maker pictures or bases
-I know people have submitted work using that doll making site or the character maker here on dA. I have to respectfully ask the people no longer submit these. As you didn't make them, it's not your art, I'd rather there not be anymore. Same with pictures done using bases, I ask that people not submit anymore. I never wanted this group overrun with base art to begin with and you won't get any better as an artist by using them. I don't care if you suck at art, just try and draw it yourself. This only helps you, I promise.

:new::bulletgreen: Only finished work
Please only submit finished pieces of art. We will not accept sketched work or WIPs. Please add a little depth and shading to your pencil work.
*This does not apply to chaptered stories.

:bulletgreen: Do NOT dump
-We are NOT an art dump. This group is for people who are serious about their characters. Do not come here just to drop off some pictures in an attempt to get more favorites. I will remove you.

:bulletgreen: Be active
-Again, do not come here just to dump a picture and try to get more favorites. We're here for fans to interact with each other and grow as artists, writers and creators.

:bulletgreen: No Mary-Sues/Gary-Stus or Self-Inserts
-ALL characters must submit a profile ('tis in the rules). Your profile will be REVIEWED to make sure they are well-developed, realistic, not over-powered characters. I do not sugar-coat anything, but I'm not mean. If you can't handle constructive criticism, don't join the group.
-Do NOT refer to yourself as a "Daughter of Athena", "Son of Hephaestus" or anything of the sort. You are NOT a demigod, your character is. If you do so, you will be ignored.

:bulletgreen: Show Respect
-You WILL show respect to myself, the co-founders, contributors and members of this group. If not, you will be removed immediately. Do NOT bash anyone in this group based on their art, writing, characters or pairings. It's not your place to be an ass.

:bulletgreen: Demi-Titan Rules
-If they show a history of demi-children
-If they are considered a god
-If they were on the side of the Olympian Gods in BOTH wars
-If they are "good" titans
(you must provide proof)

:bulletgreen: Other rules for demi-god acceptance
-We won't accept Demi-God children of Gods who show no evidence/have no history of relating with mortals
(i.e. Khione shows no evidence of relating with mortals or having half-blood children - never mind the fact that in the books she takes the form of a teenager and shows clear disdain of mortals- we won't accept children of her.

:bulletgreen: Please don't butcher the English Language
All stories will be reviewed for decent grammar, spelling and sentence structure.
*We won't go into depth and turn away stories that aren't written perfectly. Not at all. We just want it to be legible and written with a decent skill level.

:bulletgreen: Do NOT submit art to favorites...
UNLESS YOU ARE A MEMBER OF THE GROUP! Do NOT submit your own work to the favorites, it will be turned away. We are not here for you to shamelessly promote yourself, make your own group if you want to do that. Do not ask us to favorite your work, we will say no.

:bulletgreen: Join Requests Must be Reviewed
-Due to some people refusing to read the rules, all join requests are now under review. You will be asked if you've read the rules and won't be accepted until you do. If you break the rules even once, I will remove you. You told me you read the rules, there's no excuse for not following them. Also, if you do not include the phrase "JJ Flip, what the zip" in your join request, you WILL be declined without explanation.
-And if you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask us, we're here to help.

:bulletgreen: most importantly I want you to just have fun here (^_^)

*Important Note*
Just thought I'd let everyone know:

May Flowers + a question *PLEASE COMMENT*

Journal Entry: Sat May 19, 2012, 12:26 PM
:bulletyellow: Group Rules / :bulletyellow: Cabins List / :bulletyellow:   Profile Page / :bulletyellow: Character Development Tips


:new: Don't forget: Please continue to let us know if you want to take part in a tournament if you haven't said so already.  We need to know if this can happen or not

If you have changed your username, you MUST let us know on the MAIN PAGE of the group.  Leave us a comment on the MAIN PAGE with your new username AND your previous username.  Do NOT leave the comments anywhere else, we might not see them.


Let me elaborate on the tournament.  It would take place over a couple of months with a new round each month.  In each round, there will be a theme/story/topic for each participant to make a submission for (i.e. Round 1: draw your character in armor/preparing for a battle).  There will be an overall story for the tournament that each round will go along with and will eventually lead to a climatic ending.  
Each participant will be paired off with another and they will become a team for the tournament.  They will have to collaborate on their submissions for certain rounds (not all of them).
After the rounds, we will choose winners for the tournament.  

So let us know if you're interested, as soon as possible so we can start working on it.


As you should have seen, I just posted a new poll about a Tournament for the group.  I just recently took part in a Tournament in another group and I thought it was pretty fun.  Now I want to know if you're interested in one for the next couple of months after May.  I need a lot of people to take part in it for sure, I can't have a lot of people saying "hmmm mayhap I'll take part".  We need definites or it can't happen - we're going to pair off members who would need to collab on their submissions for each round so we need people to be active.  A couple of members asked about more interaction for the next event, and I think this is as interactive as you can get without meeting each other in person and playing a round of touch football.  So please let me know what you think and VOTE and COMMENT on the poll!


Not PJatO related, but if any of you are fans of Avatar and Legend of Korra, be sure to check out :iconthepro-bendingarena:

</b> :star: Read RULES for update on character acceptance :star: </b>


Alright, I have to point out some more things with character profiles.  I'm still seeing some of the same problems but here's my biggest one (I've seen this on so many profiles, including ones that aren't in this group - i.e. those Mary-Sue's floating around dA)

Manhattan/New York City
I understand that people like to have their character live in the area because "Percy lives there" or it's close to CHB or something like that.  But please, for the love Glob, PLEASE do your goddamn research!  As a native New Yorker who understand the city and what it takes to live there, nothing pisses me off more than seeing unrealistic New Yorkers.  First off, living in Manhattan is a dream of mine (I go to school in Manhattan and hang out there all the time, but I live in one of the other boroughs).  Do you know WHY it is a dream?! Because it is balls expensive to live in Manhattan and so many people don't seem to understand that.  Lianna lives in Manhattan, but they live in a tiny, two bed-room apartment (she shares a room with her sister and her brother sleeps on the couch when he stays over - though he has his own apartment (shared with two roommates) in Brooklyn.  Never mind the fact that her step-father is a construction worker with the union who make a decent amount of money).  Living in Manhattan is very expensive, especially in certain areas (i.e. Chelsea, Upper East/West Sides, the Village), and ESPECIALLY certain types of apartments (i.e. condos, penthouses, big apartments, flats).  You have to be paid a good amount of money to afford to live in Manhattan (which is why I always thought it was rather unrealistic where Percy lived and the job his mother had).  So please, do your research on NYC and stop just dropping your character in Manhattan.  If you absolutely have to have them live in NYC, pick one of the cheaper boroughs (-_-)




Alright guys, it's May now and the Capture the Flag game is officially over.  Since we just had a big event in the group, we're going to do something really simple for May and just have a regular old theme that you can do.  We'll have two for the month - one regular theme and one that I want to have just because - so you'll have a choice.

:star: May Theme :star:

:bulletyellow: Pegasus Lessons
-So the theme for this month is anything having to do with Pegasi.  Your character can be participating in the Pegasus Lessons that they have a CHB, they can just be flying around on one, anything.  

:bulletyellow: Avengers, ASSEMBLE!
-So as some of you may know, I'm a HUGE comic book geek and I'm crazy excited about the Avengers movie coming out this Friday.  So you can do anything with this theme really; your character going to see the movie, your character in an alternate universe where they are a costumed superhero - anything, so long as it has something to do with the Avengers or costumed superheroes.  


So that's it for this month. Thanks again for participating in the Capture the Flag games, don't forget to claim your prizes.

Hey. :D
I read the rules, and it says doll's makers and bases aren't allowed, but are edited photos allowed? Like editing an actor to look like for e.g. your character, Potts.
And if there are allowed, which folder do you submit it to?
Thanks. :)
