I'll probably be crazy like that all month, too, sad to say. ;p I kind of lose track of time when I write. And before I know it, it's 4:30 in the morning and I'm like 'Oh, crap!' lol

Glad you're enjoying it so far!

OH DAMN, the stepfather?! That is messed up! Is the stepfather Zeus and the mother Demeter?

[night_is_fallen]

Pretty much, yeah. I did kind of just chuck some of the more crazy mythological stuff though. I'm pretty sure that Zeus could only dream about being as wretched as her stepfather ... :p

Yeah, I don't think you can have Zeus appearing as a swan or a shower of gold (I refuse to call it a golden shower as a matter of principle!)

Just a quick question about Ariana. So she lived in New York (Olympus??) before and saw the ballet and THEN they moved to Missouri? Because I almost thought at first that she was flying out to NYC just for the ballet. I am sure you made that clear and it's just my dumb ass reading this in bits and pieces while I work.

Can't wait for the next part ;)

LOL Zeus' golden shower ... those ancient Greeks were sick. :p

Ariana lived in New York, yes. I made mention of her accent "smacking of Brooklyn". I will go back and reread and make sure I don't need to clarify it any further, though. I wrote it so quickly that it's quite possible I totally left something major out ... the beginning part of the story isn't where my mind wants to be! ;)
