I am terrified of this in the most awesome possible way !!!

Oh wow... I should have totally credited with you for inspiring the inclusion of Marduk here....

This was altogether lovely. I love fantasy or supernatural AUs. I think my favorite part has to be the fact that Bertie made Macintosh immortal too.

[godsdaisiechain.livejournal.com]

Thank-you! It was kind of an accident that McIntosh became immortal, too, though... ; )

If this were any more amazing I would die!

"and Zeus, by Jove!" hehhheheh, it's funny because ZEUS is JOVE.

The only thing that bothered me was your characterization of Athena, but that's probably because she's my patron goddess, and I love her more than I should.

Perfectly topping! you get ALL THE STARS

Thank-you!!

You are right about the depiction of Athena, of course. In this story, she's a really kind of awful melding of Stiffy Byng, Madeline Bassett and Florence Craye--with a good dose of "Serena" from Bewitched thrown in for comic value. I think part of it is that Bertie just brings out the worst in intellectual females. The other thing to think about, of course, is that she is more than 2,000 years old and her father is still controlling her dating life, which could make anyone act rather immature.

But, to be fair, falling for every pretty boy that comes across her path is more Aphrodite's scene. Although, it's understandable that you'd want to keep her out of it, she can get pretty nuts...and don't even get me STARTED on Hera.

Like I said, I just think way too highly of my dear Athena. I've always thought of her as the ancient version on a she-nerd, shut up in her temples with her books, and kid of oblivious about the more lovey doevey emotional stuff. (I see Holmes the same way, though). I mean, even Artemis would have been better. She's pretty scary too, goddess of the hunt and all.....she'd probably channel Honoria.

sorry, being an oversensitive Pagan again

I really did like it! It mad eme laugh, and I liked you daddy!Zeus a lot....I'm disappointed by the lack of Ganymede joke, though

[godsdaisiechain.livejournal.com]

You so totally get this... i see that I should have been more clear (or asked you to beta, because this insight is so excellently helpful)...

...it's sort of the point, isn't it, that Bertie attracts these brainy women who then get a bit odd? And she's already acting weird at the beginning, because she's carrying a bow (not hers)

So, of course, Athena would not know what to do and try to act like Aphrodite or a nymph...but she has these clear little moments when she realizes that Bertie isn't smart enough for her. And because Bertie and Jeeves are narrating it, they show her in a bad light--Bertie because he is scared to death and Jeeves because he is annoyed.

I couldn't figure out how to get Ganymede in there without annoying Jeeves... does bear some thinking about.

[katelynna10000.livejournal.com]

Yah, well, ya know, it's my religion, I ought to know at least a little about it.

And I totally see what you were trying to do, believe me! Like I said, Athena is my angel godsess,and I just don't like seeing her like this....that's my issue, though.

Maybe like, Bertie should meet him, and they become besties, and he's like 'jeeves is in this club named after you' and Ganymede is all 'oho, really now?;' *fluttery eyes* or somthin, idk

[godsdaisiechain.livejournal.com]

Hmmm... I do not like making you feel uncomfortable. Let's see what can be done...

[godsdaisiechain.livejournal.com]

OK... I edited a little...

[katelynna10000.livejournal.com]

oh bby no! I didn't mean to make you change it! If I can live with what Disney did to poor Hades, i can live with this, it has jooster! (unless you added Ganymede, in which, yes good) Ahhhh, i shouldn't have said anything!

[godsdaisiechain.livejournal.com]

I was brought up to take people's religious beliefs seriously... Artemis (now present) is a little more the villain of the piece (albeit accidentally), Ganymede got a bit part, Eros got a little more air time, and Jeeves and Athena make friends.

[katelynna10000.livejournal.com]

aHH EROS, yes, that makes the entirety of Bertie's fiances make sense, and the emphasis on Anthea's being annoyed at zues is nice. Very nice, thank you.
