The Cybertronian

Fiction Edition
13-19 Aug, 2011

Editor's Note

As August happens to be an incredibly busy month for challenges, I've broken out the challenges section and listed all I could find and their due dates. Do check and see if there's any there you want to respond to so we can have a big turnout for them, aka more fic to read and art to squee over! If I missed one, drop me a line so I can add it, please.

Also, please understand that I have had an interesting week, with lots going on in RL, so I may have missed something or linked incorrectly. If so, let me know so I can fix the mistake. I did my best, but I'm really distracted right now!

Comments

;n; my... my fics aren't crack (http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Transwiki:List_of_fan_fiction_terms#Crack_fic)... ;n; was that a mistake?

[mmouse15.livejournal.com]

Yes. I have no idea which fic I was supposed to attach that to.

Although you do have a deranged mind...;D

[mmouse15.livejournal.com]

They're locked to the comm, so they don't show up on my watchlist. I can't include anything locked to members. If the two people unlock them, I'm happy to add them.

[mmouse15.livejournal.com]

It's OK, but that's why things don't make it into the newsletter. Thanks for unlocking it - it's in the newsletter now!

[eloquencelost.livejournal.com]

*is not loved?* I have two fics that didn't make the news letter. here (http://bitter-fiction.livejournal.com/6333.html) and here (http://bitter-fiction.livejournal.com/6479.html) Would you mind adding them? Thanks. *goes back to feeling all unloved. T_T*

[mmouse15.livejournal.com]

El, you are SOOO loved!

However, you locked your stories to the rare pairing comm, so the watchlist doesn't see them (see comment to foghornleghorn3, above). I've added them now, but in the future, that's the reason your fics don't get added.

We can add your fic comm to the watchlist, if you'd like. That should take care of any issues with not seeing what you post!

[eloquencelost.livejournal.com]

I didn't want to get hit by the mod-hammer on the comms. T_T Since people get tetchy about adult material and all. *twiddles thumbs shyly*


But sure! Add away! <3

[mmouse15.livejournal.com]

Most of the comms only want MA/NC-17 locked, or perhaps M/R stuff, but T/PG13 is more than safe enough to leave unlocked.

However! I have asked kalaryx to add your fic comm to the watchlist and I hope that takes care of the problem!

[thousanth.livejournal.com]

It's added, sorry for the delay, I was on holiday. :)

[eloquencelost.livejournal.com]

< snark > Whaaaaaaaat!? You can't have a REAL LIFE! No, you need to drop everything you're doing to cater to my needs RIGHT NOW.



*snerk* It's all cool. Take as much time as you need and please, never apologize for having a life outside of teh nets. XP
