...let's hope not. But you definitely have a point with all that--maybe they're just introduce them later/in a different way than in the books? Who knows. But most of the cast (no idea about the crew) is different (well, the main cast, at any rate), so...there may be hope?
Heh. I can understand the defensiveness--if this was, say, Tamora Pierce or Gerald Morris or Lloyd Alexander, I'd be up in arms. As it is, I enjoyed the Percy Jackson series (seriously--they're really fun! Not to mention creative, and full of elements of the Greek myths that were some of my bedtime stories when I was little), but I'm not exactly fanatical about them. (However, that's not to say that if you show me a badfic I won't get angry. I will. I really will. I just...probably wouldn't be *as* angry as I would with a badfic set in a different fandom.
(...er, let's not test that out...*glances nervously in whatever direction you look when trying not to tempt the Ironic Overpower. I'm guessing...sideways. Possibly on a diagonal*)
Speaking of badfic, I'm currently trawling through a horrific Star Trek: AOS songfic. It features Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Uhura, Gaila, and a chorus of crew-members singing relatively modern songs, ranging from Disney to the Beatles (!), as well as a bunch of random pop-songs. The song lyrics are occasionally adapted for Star Trek, but not generally very well. And, making it even *worse* (Spock singing the words "You've got a friend in me" is pretty terrifying), each song is preceded and followed by a run-on sentence or two. And the sentences are not only run-on, but full of further bad SPaG, too. There's even the occasional mini-tribble.
So, yes. Ouch. It huuuuurrrrts. I want it to go away. Actually, I want to PPC it, and get rid of Character Rupture!Spock (or possibly Replacement!Spock--I'm not sure yet). Because the ridiculously emotional Vulcan--well, actually, I think that phrase kind of speaks for itself.
(Everyone else is OOC too, mind--it's not just Spock. However, OOC Spock is the most painful to watch, since at least the others aren't supposed to have such wonderful control of their emotions that they hardly ever *show* any.)
And I'm going to stop there before this really turns into a rant.
