Three Choices
Written on March 6th, 2008 by GoMulchGoStory Details
Artemis was torn not into two, but three pieces. I don’t mean that literally. What I meant was that three girls were falling for him. Yes, not two, but three girls: Minerva Paradizo, Holly Short, and Kayla Tilles (New Character!). They all fought one another for him, well not exactly fight, but you get the picture. Every time they met, the day ended by Holly firing at Minerva’s butt (with her neutrino of course), Minerva pulling Kayla’s hair, and Kayla poking Holly’s eyes. It was a big mess every time, so that’s when Artemis realized he would have to choose between the three. That and the three girls kept on bothering him to tell them which one was prettier. I don’t feel like choosing which girl Artemis would choose, so you choose who he would think is prettier.
Okay, so only one vote per member. Leave a review for a vote and to vote for Holly, press 1. To vote for Minerva, press 2. To vote for Kayla, press 3. The first girl to get to three votes wins. But first, I’m going to let you get to know the background of Kayla.
USA, Sacramento, California
“Kayla! Wakey wakey! Time for school!” shouted Mrs. Tilles.
“Five more minutes! And stop saying that, I’m not a child,” groaned Kayla.
“Come on! Wake up, it’s the last day of school! Just wake up and get it over with.”
“Fine, Just to get it over with,” Kayla said and jumped out of her bed. She didn’t get out of her bed just to get it over with, she did it so her mother would just stop talking. After she got out of bed, Kayla stressed over what she would wear on the last day of school. ‘What should I wear?’ She looked at her computer screen. ‘It is going to be 43 degrees celsius today.’ She got dressed and slipped into the hallway restroom. She brushed her hair, brushed her teeth, and washed her face. She started to put on some make up when Mrs. Tilles stopped her.
“What do you think you’re doing?” Mrs. Tilles asked.
“Nothing, just putting on make up.”
“No, I told you no one in this house will put on make up!”
“But Mother!”
“Don’t ‘but Mother’ me. These are my rules and you will go by these rules as long as you live in this house. Besides you look pretty without all of that extra stuff on your face.”
“You would say that even if I looked like a pile of grated toad.”
“Come on Kayla, I really mean that.”
“Fine.”
“And put on something else besides that skirt. It’s too revealing. I don’t know how you got that thing in the first place.”
“Can’t I at least keep on my skirt?”
Mrs. Tilles thought about it for a moment. “Fine, you can keep it on, but no make up!”
“Thank you, Mother.” Kayla kissed her mother on the cheek, grabbed her backpack, and walked out the door.

Um… I don’t know! I wouldn’t think Artemis the type of person who would pick a girl based solely on looks. I would think he would pick either Holly for her fiery side and sass or Minerva for her genius and clever character. I don’t know enough about the new girl though. I would have to say though… 2. Minerva’s better for him.

It says I didn’t comment and I left a huge one! Grr… Okay, I’ll type it all out again.

1 (by the way, in the 2nd paragraph, you sound like on of does recordings you get when you can’t call somone.) Go Holly!!!
Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooot!!!!!!!!!!!

As much as I love Holly, if you make it A/H, it’ll be boring and non-original. I go for Kayla (and if you choose Minerva, everyone will MURDER you!)
March 6th, 2008 at 7:25 am
3!!! a new character always makes it origonal.
March 6th, 2008 at 10:56 pm
No, it would be a bit more interesting to have a cross species relationship and see how Artemis puts up with Holly. I vote 2, Holly. Even if Holly doesen’t win, please go with Kayla. Minerva would be too boring.
March 6th, 2008 at 10:57 pm
My vote goes toward 2, Holly. MInerva is too boring.
March 6th, 2008 at 10:59 pm
That’s three votes for Holly!
March 6th, 2008 at 10:59 pm
My mistake! I accidentally out 2, but I meant 1, for Holly.
March 6th, 2008 at 11:00 pm
Same for me! Holly rules!
March 8th, 2008 at 1:08 am
I’m stuck on Holly or Kayla!! I don’t care but it CAN’T be Minnie!! It just can’t!!!
*Sobs*

Hey, Holly’s already won, you should think about updating now.
March 12th, 2008 at 3:45 am
I Updated! TWICE!

Holly and Artemis are nothing alike, especially in this story. I’m sensing a forshadow here…
March 18th, 2008 at 7:32 pm

I read Things Not Seen, it’s a little juvenile for Artemis.
Okay, I have to say that I hate what you’ve done with these girls.
Minerva and Holly are much to strong to fight over a boy.
They are characters who should be an inspiration to women, not a disgrace.
I don’t know about your OC, you can make her whatever you want, but I doubt that Artemis would ever want a girl who has such low self-esteem that she fights over a man.
For another, I doubt that Holly or Minerva would ask Artemis which one of them is prettier. I don’t think that is high on their list of important attributes.
And I don’t think that Artemis would pick a girl based on her looks either. He’d be bored in a second.
This is so out of character. If this were an original story (maybe a highschool drama, like the Clique and Gossip Girl books) that plotline and characterization would work out.
But it does not in an Artemis Fowl fanfiction.
I would think that any feelings felt would be much deeper, and that the characters would have a little bit more dignity.
On a positive note, you have a wonderful style of writing.
When your characters weren’t having cat fights it was very well written and very smooth.
You use adjectives well (but not excessively) and have an easy pace that would be perfect for any sort of Children’s or Teen’s lit.
I’d love to see you write something in character or original.
This type of fanfiction just isn’t my type, I guess.

Thanks BlackOpal! I will keep that in mind.
April 5th, 2008 at 2:49 am
OMG! Things not seen is TOO elementary for Artemis! Minerva is making too much of a deal about romance.
Oh, and I don’t think Artemis would care about what other people thought. He wouldn’t feel obliged to get a girlfriend. The only way he would go out with someone is if he truly loved them. Then, there’s no point in choosing.
A lot of the charachters are OOC.
July 11th, 2008 at 11:29 pm
i agree with blackopal. it IS ooc.
even though the vote is over, i still think minerva is best for artemis, because artemis needs someone who will challenge his intellect.
besides, eoin colfer MADE minerva for artemis
July 11th, 2008 at 11:31 pm
wait! i just got an inspiration.
(sorry for double posting)
you could make alternate endings, so you would have one with A/H, one with A/M and one with A/K
that way, everyone is happy
