I'm sorry, but... what? Like the Dragon!Sue fic I found, the amount of research put into this is astounding considering how ridiculous the premise is. This author knows Abraxas Malfoy and Orion Black, who are referenced obliquely at best in the main series.
Oh, and somehow Hermione Granger– sorry, "Kenna Gaunt" is the sister of Lucius Malfoy, Sirius Black, Augustus Rookwood, and the Lestrange brothers.
And she has four dads.
What.

Is pretty much the premise of Harry Potter, with Greek demigods instead of wizards... So yeah, that very IDEA for a fic is in itself a very serious canon violation, in adition to whatever is behind those symbols that were written.

Well, the shovel treats them as evil.
Of course, an unholy shovel would treat them as good, and thus they'd take 2d6 damage from that.
Alignment stops mattering when Sues get involved. Just enjoy the fact that the magic shovel will hurt like hell.

I'd be a massive douche and point out that the entirety of Rick Riordan's... work features a gaggle replacements of existing canon characters (i.e. the Greek and Roman pantheons), glossing over the less savoury aspects of certain among their number for reasons of kid-friendliness (cf. turning shapeshifting serial rapist Poseidon into someone's Grandad on a fishing holiday somewhere warm) and generally being about as accurate a representation - and interesting a use - of classical mythology as a Suefic is of a canon source... or possibly Stufic, since whether or not Percy Jackson (teenager with sword) is capable of defeating Ares (turned a teenager into a chicken once because he was moderately annoyed at him) without the aid of Because I Said So Of God, so to speak, I leave to more experienced members' discretion.
But I'm not a douche, so I won't. =]
Seriously, though, this is eminently missionable and I wish you the very best of luck. Despite what I said above, I do think the series has some potential and interesting ideas. I just wish they explored some other pantheons as well, like the Chinese or the Kuba ones. The Kuba creation myth is brilliant. It features a god, Nyonye-Ngana, whose entire role in Kuba mythology is to vomit termites and die. He is the worst god and he is precious bab. =] -

he had to change some aspects to make it kid-friendly. I don't think parents want kids want to read about the gods' more *ahem* questionable interactions with mortals, or how some (like Artemis) demanded human sacrifice at some temples, or how Apollo and Artemis together killed fourteen kids because Queen Niobe insulted their own mother, Leto. And don't get me started on Artemjs turning her most loyal follower into a bear because said follower had the audacity to get raped by Zeus.
And the recently-published Percy Jackson's Greek Gods is a lot more accurate to the source material, and even calls rape by name. It doesn't dance around much, to be honest.
I will agree with the whole 'Percy beating Ares' thing; that was not one of the canon's better moments.
Have you read The Kane Chronicles? It's set in the same universe, but about Egyptian mythology, and he has another series coming out later called Gods of Asgard or some such, also set in the same universe. -

What, like pretty much every other fantasy series in need of mystical powers and a dash of vaguely-educational cultchaa so parents don't feel as bad about buying them for their kids?
My point is, we see pantheons like that all the time. It's usually just Greco-Roman stuff, but there are so many other legendaria from outside the Scanditerranean Mythological Co-Prosperity Sphere that have fantastic stories! Go all out! Go for something that hasn't been done a bajillion time before! Actually, that's a point, this is all set in the continental US so... why on Earth hasn't he done anything from a Native American/First Nations religion? First thing I'd think to do if I was an American other than Mormonism, and Twilight's got that particular base covered.
That and I don't care for Riordan's writing style, but mine ain't up to much either without a healthy dose of the editorial Correcting Blackjack.
(Translation: when Scapegrace was a little Scapegrace, she read the first one on holiday in Greece and was bored rigid by it, so decided to amuse herself by picking as many holes in it as she could. I don't begrudge Riordan his success any more than I begrudge Stephenie Meyer hers, but I don't like the books and I am genuinely baffled they're as popular as they are. I mean, did they get better later on? I always assumed they must have...) -

I've loved the series for a long time, and if you don't, that's fine. I won't argue with you about it. I just think it was a nice modern adaptation of Greek mythology, and it's just as important to my childhood as Harry Potter.
The reason why his books are about 'classical' mythology is probably because he used to teach that. Still, that's not to say he'll never write about less well-known mythologies in the future; he made allusions to Native American (namely Cherokee) and Chinese mythology in his Heros of Olympus series, and from what little prior knowledge I had, it seemed fairly accurate. And yes, his writing has definitely gotten better in the later books. Or at least, I think so.
But hey, if you have a sporking of it, I'd read it! I'd like to see some non-fan's perspective of it. -

I just have a lot of... well, hatred's sort of the wrong word... eh, I just think it could have been done better than it was, especially Percy.
However, if it's a parody you want, you could do a lot worse than Benjamin Sniddlegrass and the Cauldron of Penguins, which is a film and features a lot of very odd things and is hilarious. Well, I found it funny, at least.

I know that could be much better, I could have recommended a Death Star, The Galaxy Gun, a Sun Crusher or a Sun Eater, but for the sake of THE REST OF THE PLANET decided to reduce the firepower to something capable of leveling only Camp Half-Blood (and the sorrounding countryside, but that is an acceptable loss), and would not transform it into an irradiated wasteland.
