okami_hu: Dinoboy Chronicles, Ch. 4 [Swoop/OC; G1; AU, sticky het smut]
nkfloofiepoof: Breeding Strategy, Ch. 1 [Swoop/OC; G1; AU, sticky]

These are the same thing - we co-wrote it. Okami posted it to tf80sfun and I posted it to my writing LJ ♥

[delilahdraken]

Sorry about that. I didn't read all the stories in the newsletter.

I'll change it now.

dytabites: The Five Times Ratchet Blew Up (and One He Didn't), Ch. 4 [Ratchet, Bluestreak; G1]

Sorry, but you misspelled my username =D;

[delilahdraken]

*slaps head*

These stupid typos....

My deepest apologies. I'll corect it instantly.

[sunny-and-sides.livejournal.com]

Heh... I think mmouse must be the only editor who reads my stuff cause my stories never get in here unless she's doing the fic edition... but I started new stories and updated several more over at ff.net under the pen name futurecag... just... in case anyone's interested.

[mmouse15.livejournal.com]

Sunny, I can post them next week. I have all the alerts on my e-mail.

[delilahdraken]

Thanks for reminding me. I was wondering why the ff.net emails seems to be so sparse this week.

My apologies.

[mmouse15.livejournal.com]

Leslie,
I was tired last night when I replied!! Ouchies! So please let me clarify.
Delilah, who IMHO does a great job, picks up fics from the archive and, I think, the Padded Cell. I haunt the Pit more, but we really do try to cover each other. It's the beauty of having two fic editors - I may think a story is so-so, she'll love it and say so, so people get a balanced view of the stories. I know that I read more on FFN and so I do two weeks worth of posts from there (checking to be sure that Delilah hasn't snagged them). So that's why your stories are more frequently in my posts than hers. She snags bittereloquence more than I do because El posts to the Cell and the archive but not necessarily to LJ.
If you'd like, we both get anything on LJ. If you have a writing journal (and only writing!) like Dex or Casha wildernesstales, you can friend our watch list cybertronwatch and we'll get everything you post. If that's too much hassle (all the formatting issues), I'll have ravynstoneabbey post the LJ/FFN equivalent list I use so we can both get FFN stuff.

How would YOU like for us to handle this?

[sunny-and-sides.livejournal.com]

Heh,

I wasn't meaning to start anything. I was just vaguely amused by it. Don't mind me. Everything you all are doing is great and if things don't get in, they don't get in. It's really not that big of a deal. Continue doing what you do and it's all good.

[ravynstoneabbey]

(I could use the LJ/FFN list doll! I think my copy is out of date)

ouronlyhunter : Lesser of Two Evils, Ch. 15, Ch. 16

There's no link for chapter 15.

Thanks again for putting this together.

~Dex

[delilahdraken]

the link for chapter 15 is the link before the comma in front of the 'Ch. 15'.

My apologies if that wasn't logical.

[coaxialcreature.livejournal.com]

Ah... it could be that my mind was groggy in the morning, and I missed it. Thanks for the response :D

[apathocles.livejournal.com]

I've got a fic here (http://community.livejournal.com/springkink/506886.html): Subliminal, Soundwave/Starscream, NC-17.

Also, the link to Moving On is giving me an error message.

[delilahdraken]

Thanks for the story link. I'll put it in now.

As for the Moving On link, I don't know what happened. Three days ago this link worked. I'll try to find a better link for the story.
