Well, mostly it was that Leo is apparently the worst person ever because he didn't tell his friends that he was alive before going to rescue Calypso? Which, I guess RR could have made it clearer that that wasn't an option, but I really got the impression that it wasn't an option, that for whatever reason it was a now or never sort of thing. And in that case I really do think making it a priority to give the person who has been imprisoned for thousands of years a chance to leave rather than immediately comforting your grieving friends is . . . obviously the right choice?
I also saw complaints about the pacing, and specifically the whole "Frank makes a choice that Percy couldn't" being, "wait, that's seriously what all the foreshadowing was about?" Some people were upset about the general massacre of the Hunters and Amazons, and specifically about Phoebe, and to be fair so far all the named Hunters except for Thalia have died which is not such a great track record. There were also complaints about the whole Bryce and Octavian thing (someone on tumblr said it was essentially advocating the death penalty for mentally ill people which . . . okay?) And then there was the contingent who were mad about no Percy or Annabeth POVs, and the somewhat smaller contingent who were upset about no Frank or Hazel POVs.
. . . Anyway.
I'm glad you liked Useful Crafts! And now that you have told me you liked it, you can go forth and read other fic? I mean, I'm not saying I wouldn't be thrilled to get a more detailed comment, but honestly that's more than I usually manage on the fics I read. So, uh, I absolve you of any guilt if that helps.
(Also on your fanmix, the Jason song that plays for me is not the one you intended. I understand this is a known issue with 8tracks? Not that I have figured out how to use 8tracks or anything.)
