The Cybertronian

Fiction Edition
27 March – 2 April, 2010

Editor's Note

Well, you guys were certainly busy while I was on vacation – it took me a while to collect all the links! There are some great stories this week, and a bunch of new challenges – I hope I marked them well enough, but holler if I didn't.

I do want to mention that if you've found a fic or writer you think is great over on fanfiction.net, please let us know so we can watch them and include their story in the newsletter! I can't read everything and I rely upon you to tell me about what I'm missing.

Also, please let me know if I missed anything or messed up a link so I can fix it. Thanks, and enjoy this issue!

insane_no_baka recs Forever More, a set of drabbles (and a WIP) about Prowl and Jazz.
I'm going to rec one - Aeos, over on the kink meme. It's Optimus/Starscream, movie, sparksex and very well written. I'm really enjoying it. It's a WIP, but well worth the read.

Beta requests

None.

Small correction: For wicked3659's Perdition, it's chapter 21, not chapter one.

Question, which is more for my information than anything else: within like 5 minutes of me posting this newsletter my first time, someone had jumped my bumps about not listing pairings correctly. What's the official word--do we list pairings or do we not? I think we should all be consistent, or else my persecution complex will have a field day.

[mmouse15.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the catch - I have fat fingers and mis-typed the chapter.

Yeah, I saw that comment - sorry about that. I don't list pairings at all for just that reason (I got jumped myself), I just list the characters separated by commas and then add 'slash' to the warnings to let people know there is a pairing. I also don't take people to the cut, I bring them in at the top of the entry so they can see the header themselves. Most authors are gracious enough to list the pairings as part of their character roster, so that works.

Does that help?

[niyazi-a.livejournal.com]

That helps A LOT and makes perfect sense! Thank you!

[mmouse15.livejournal.com]

Anytime! I appreciate you doing this, and I'm happy to answer any questions - believe me, the first three months I was doing this I had a question every single time! Feel free to PM or e-mail me, OK?

[silver-bells13.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the newsletter! :)

Would you consider watching Sorciere's 'Trials of a Seeker' on ff.net? I think its really good. http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5427731/1/Trials_of_a_Seeker

[eerian_sadow]

is that where she's posting it? awesome.

*off to fav*

[mmouse15.livejournal.com]

Yes, thank you for telling me! I've been following it on the kink meme, but didn't realize she'd started posting it somewhere else. Thank you for the heads-up!
