Volume 14, Issue #410

[delilahdraken]

We had some electricity problems in our house yesterday. The new resident in the cellar flat somehow killed the electricity and because it was a holiday in my area of Germany the repair guy came only today.

Because of this (and because stupid me didn't write up any links since last Sunday) the newsletter might be finished a bit late.

I apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may create for you, dear readers.

The Cybertronian

Fiction Edition
29 May – 4 June, 2010

Editor's Note

Sorry again for the lateness.

If I made any mistakes, typos or mislabelled something, please let me know.

Have fun reading!

ante_luce's Baby Boom story is actually up to chapter 19. You have chapter 10. :P

Outside of that, thanks for all your hard work this week!

[delilahdraken]

Oh why does the number 9 key sit right beside the number 0 key?...

Thank you for spotting the typo. I totally overlooked it.

[cave-cat.livejournal.com]

Ah it's all right! Just think of what typos would happen if it was located on the other end. We'd have Chapter 0 instead of 1. ^_^

[eerian_sadow]

my fic "Just Like Starting Over" is Ratchet/Wheeljack. Optimus isn't even mentioned in it.



i'm also still taking suggestions for the July prompt over at tfic_contest

[delilahdraken]

I didn't see that from the header. There was only "Optimus sees donut. etc." and nothing else. I didn't read this story, so... sorry. I'll fix the link.

Thanks for telling me both.

[eerian_sadow]

okay, i did forget to put the pairing in the header. which i will totally go back and fix. but the prompt reads "Optimist sees donut. Pessimist just sees hole." not Optimus.

[delilahdraken]

*head meet desk*

And my reading skills astound me again and again. Sorry about that, I really saw Optimus when I put the link in.

[eerian_sadow]

s'okay, darling. i think we've all done that.

[mustardwketchup.livejournal.com]

Um... Hello! XD

Under K Fics, you have a link labed "You and Me" RatchetxWheeljack.

That's actually a picture, not a fic. XD the only words in there is a description.

[delilahdraken]

Thanks for telling me.

[mustardwketchup.livejournal.com]

XD no prob! The exposure ain't bad!
