《The Ultimate Guide To Writing PJO Fanfics》The PJO/HP Formula
Advertisement
I've noticed a pattern between awesome books, and successful ideas, and I'm here to share it with you. This is the formula of success! Two best-selling authors have used this formula, and it's worked out great for them.
Here's what you need:
A main character who has no idea what they're doing (A.K.A Percy Jackson)
A smart character who is more skilled than both of the other two combined (A.K.A Hermione Granger)
A comic relief character who is a little below average (A.K.A Grover Underwood/ Ron Weasley.)
A villain who used to be one of them (Example: Luke used to be a prized demigod, Tom Riddle used to be an extraordinary wizard, etc.)
These are the base characters, basically what the whole series is made of. You take these characters and you have a best selling story on your hands! Make sure to make a few minor tweaks, and it will be great.
A new world that the character has knows nothing about. (Figuratively or literally.) It could be a community of superpowered heroes, a league of spies, a worldwide thieving ring that they need to bust, anything! Use your imagination, it can't hurt, right?
Something strange is happening. They're being thrust into this situation unexpectedly, and they haven't really had time to prepare. Percy goes on his first quest, it's amazing. We see twists, turns, and things we did not see coming. You want this to be a surprise to the readers.
You can leave the end on a cliffhanger, or a tight ending. It can be abrupt, or you can slowly ease into it. Surprise the readers one last time, and leave it open. See how the book does, and you can make it a series!
You see how this works? Now, this is not the only method to success. There are plenty of others. I could dive down into how The Hunger Games made its fortune, or any of the countless other series, but I picked these ones.

Why, you ask me? Because it's the easiest and the most creative way. I could literally write a book right now, or even a short story. It's effortless, you know what to do, but it also leaves room for you to improve and add your own flair of originality.
Now, I know this isn't strictly PJO like this book is about, but I really wanted to share this. It makes writing significantly easier. If you become a billionaire off of this, tell me! You don't have to share your money, I just want some proof that it works.
I already do, with J.K Rowling and Rick Riordan, but it's amazing what this could do. And thank you for all your unwavering support! I mean, The Tournament of Champions has almost 300 reads, and it's only been out for a week at most!
Stay safe, and make sure to become a writing superstar!
