The Cybertronian

Fiction Edition
22-28 March, 2008

Editor's Note

I am finding that my recovery from flu and secondary infections is slower than I had hoped, and my brain feels like it's been stuffed with cotton wool, so please let me know what mistakes I've made so that I can fix them.
OTOH, lots of great stories this week. Please enjoy!

Fic Recs

only a couple of days left to rec fics over at tf_fic_noms. Check it out!
rezuri at this link recommends this story: Lost in Transmission, by koilungfish. Rating is probably PG.
This is actually a request for recs about Optimus Prime.
OK, I've got a couple that I thought were wonderful. Vaeru's Requiem was fantastic, as was Dwimordene's Indefinite Objects. Requiem is a fabulous look at Jazz as a Special Ops agent caught by the enemy, and Indefinite Objects is a math geek's idea of heaven, plus it raises fascinating questions about the definition of sentient.

tfiwts {Transformers Fanfic I want to see}

None this week!

Special

ravynstoneabbey gives directions here on mirroring your LJ journal to another site. I know it's Meta, but I thought I'd put it here, too.
vejiraziel updates us on her request list here.

[*] Not rated, so I guessed.

Comments

[ravynstoneabbey]

Hee! Not directions per se, but links to places I used and notes of interest.

Excellent work, and I'm glad you're feeling better. I heard that the flu this year was vicious and it took forever to feel better.

(Also check out the good fridays tag @ tf_afts. We do rec posts on Fridays.)

[ouronlyhunter.livejournal.com]

Thanks for mentioning the comm once again, as well as the fics. And Ouch Sorry to hear you're still feeling sick, but glad it's better-ish at least.

~Dex

[mmouse15.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I've also added it to the PG fics and clarified the rec. Thank you for pointing out that I'd left out a lot of information.

[mmouse15.livejournal.com]

*headdesk*
I'll add it to the list...I did know, but honestly, it seemed like it took twice as long as normal to get this up. I just felt stupid by the time I'd posted. Can I have a pass this week, please Mom?

[mmouse15.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I feel fine, I just have no energy or I burn through what I do have far too quickly.
And of course I mention the comm. And get your and Leslie's fics, too. Collecting all the stories is the fun part of doing the newsletter.

[ravynstoneabbey]

Don't worry about it, I was speaking about the next issue anyways. (says the person who is four issues behind)

[wyntir-rose.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry to hear that you're still fighting that bug! I hope you're feeling better soon.

And thank you once again for mentioning my fic.

[netbug009.livejournal.com]

WOW..... TWO OF MY FICS ARE IN THERE. 8D As a newbie to this fandom, heck even if I wasn't, I'm honored! Thanks! :D

[mmouse15.livejournal.com]

You're welcome!

As I told Dex I feel fine I just have no energy, and I spent too much time getting all the links and was completely exhausted by the time I posted. But I'm getting better every day. Thank you for your kind thoughts.

[mmouse15.livejournal.com]

*laughs* Of course they are! You post, we compile, everyone can find the links in one place (make searching for stuff MUCH easier than trolling the archives).

Welcome to the fandom! You've made a great start - it's a pleasure to have you here.
