The Cybertronian

Fiction Edition
February 2-8, 2008

Editor's Note

This has been a week. I only have to be a single parent twice per year, but this was one of those weeks that I did. It was a lot of fun, but hard work, so I was a very good girl about collecting links for the newsletter through the week. And then y'all posted over twenty links on Friday evening. And I want to read them all!!! And instead, I have to just post them. So no comments (snarky or otherwise) on the most recent stuff, because I need sleep.
I love this job...

Plotbunnies and Challenges

Explain the cultural significance of Paris Hilton and Britney Spears to a Cybertronian Bonus points if said Cybertronian is Optimus.
Battlestar Glalctica/Transformers xover OR His Dark Materials/Transformers xover
TF as high school students
Couple of orphaned plot bunnies, anyone?

Fic Recs

Do you have an Obsession with Transformers? Just a little humorous list. And then she expanded it!
Blaster Spotlight comic
OK. This is MY recommendation for this week. Unexpectedly Blue by ryagelle AND ryagelles_twin. Now that Ratchet has mates, what will Wheeljack do? This is the sequel to Twinning the Hatchet and Cave Canem, both also excellent.

tfiwts {Transformers Fanfic I want to see}

StarscreamxRed Alert consensual
Sunstreaker/Thundercracker/Sideswipe/Skywarp fic? Or any combination thereof?

Yuletide Stories of the Day

So, yeah, in case you don't follow them, the Yuletide comm decided that we shouldn't just have fics at Yuletide, but year-around, so they send out Yuletide Stories of the Day (so much fun!). Occasionally, a Transformer fic gets picked, and I will be posting them here as they come up.
Reciprocations (More than meets the eye) [Tracks, Raoul, what a gift really means]

Help Requested

Request for assistance/beta/critical reader Because I really don't know where to put this, but I don't want to be rude and ignore it.

[*]it wasn't rated, so I guessed.

Comments

[ryagelle.livejournal.com]

*squee* Your rec of my stuff totally made my day! Also, don't forget da luff for da twin--she helps me to write it! ;D

[mmouse15.livejournal.com]

Done!! I'm sorry, I KNOW that you are co-writing it, and that VAWitch is your beta and at 11:30 at night, I've got shite for brains. I've fixed it, because you're right, she needs the luff too!

[ryagelle.livejournal.com]

Thankies!!

[dytabytes.livejournal.com]

*chokes*

You put up... my awful bad!fic porn... XD

My day is totally complete

[mmouse15.livejournal.com]

Toast, of course I did! The list at the end TOTAL made that p0rn a must post (sorry, I am selective about the capslock stuff I put up. But that list...ROFLMFAO).

And I'm so glad you look at the newletter to know that I put that up...

[dytabytes.livejournal.com]

XD; Oh capslock. It makes the world go 'round... or at least, it keeps the crazies like me out of your normal everyday comms.

That list was a must-use. You see, originally, it was a piece of, if not stellar, at least readable porn. Then I went and Google'd "Fanfiction Don'ts" to write that list up before I started maiming my fic into bad!fic-ness. It was both amusing and mindbending.

I subscribe to the newsletter =D! It always leads me to such fun
stuff!

Also, seeing you reminds me I have to post the next bit of 'ways Ratchet blew up' oops =O!

[wyntir-rose.livejournal.com]

Aw! Your rec of my stuff makes me so happy! Thank you :)

[mmouse15.livejournal.com]

You are welcome. Your stuff is great, so I almost always have something to say about it. Doctor's Orders was good, but Shattered...I was in awe. So it got the comment.

[ex-naggingf.livejournal.com]

Good job, as always M!!

[mmouse15.livejournal.com]

Thanks, H!

Not Screamer, but Blacky!

[jim-ghote.livejournal.com]

I had plans to include 'Screamer, have his voice go "Latta" after drinking some Ultra, but concidering the size of the RL* lot I used, thought Blacky as a better choice.

*Name of the street and house number changed to protect the unsuspecting. I should know, I used to live at that same house!

Re: Not Screamer, but Blacky!

[mmouse15.livejournal.com]

Thanks, Jim! I fixed it. Can you tell I was tired? I really appreciate you letting me know. This newsletter wouldn't be as good without everyone helping...

*cookie* for you?

[jim-ghote.livejournal.com]

Quite understandable about being tired, been there...

[best Cookie Monster voice] CoooooKeeee! nom-nom-nom! =)

[farahyqexi.livejournal.com]

We tell everyone we know about you. Thanks for the great service. - I just wanted to thank you for coming up with a product like this.

[mmouse15.livejournal.com]

Thank you for saying so! (sorry so late in replying - internet issues for most of July and am only getting caught up now!) I'm very glad you enjoy the newsletter, and thanks for spreading the word!

[ouronlyhunter.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the rec.

~Dex

[mmouse15.livejournal.com]

Anytime, Dex. It's such a good story, and you're taking in such an amazing direction it's very easy to be enthusiastic about it.

[ouronlyhunter.livejournal.com]

Thanks again. Glad to hear you're all excited about it. I'm pretty psyched about the fact that I've written this much and it looks like I'm close to finishing; I usually suck at actually finishing stories... *shifty eyes*

[vermilionbird.livejournal.com]

I don't now what to say. Thanks for the rec. (shocked and speechless) Totally made my day. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

[mmouse15.livejournal.com]

You are welcome.
