The Cybertronian

Fiction Edition
2-8 August, 2008

Editor's Note

Due to the issues I had last time I did the newsletter, I just did the f-list from the watch journal and didn't do very much with FFN or any other comm (hangs head in shame). So this week, you get a month worth of stories from FFN, and my sincere apologies to anyone that has only been posting over there.
Also, a gentle reminder that headers save me much time and effort and save my kids from a lot of cussing. Please use them!
And as always, drop me a comment if I've forgotten anything or have a busted link or just messed something up.

Fic Recs

I've got one this week. Abyssal's The World's Translated Thus is OptimusxStarscream and wonderfully done. There's a companion piece that addresses Orion/Ariel here, but it is TWTT that is currently rocking my socks. There's a huge amount of thought that's gone into her story, as shown by this post. I'm in awe at her take on the reason for the Autobots fighting the Decepticons, and all the details she's put into her world.

tfiwts {Transformers Fanfic I want to see}

I have a question that I hope someone can answer --

There's a TF fic contest community somewhere out there, but I can't find where. The thing that I remember that sticks out the most about this said community is that the contest runner regularly offers handsewn pillow cases to people who do exceptional jobs. Anyone know where I'm talking about? I've lost the link.

[kirin-saga.livejournal.com]

Yep, Brush and Ink is G1. Sorry for not making it clear, I'll try to remember to identify the universe in the header from now on.

[hellsangelcurse.livejournal.com]

Hey thanks for doing this for us.
A couple of things though
The link for the The World Translated Thus seems to be nonexistent, and nexmelody's drabble link seems to direct back to this page.
Finally Sabertron15's The New Order and lj name aren't linked, and the same goes for Misya' Trouble.

Anyways thanks again.

[mmouse15.livejournal.com]

Not a problem! I just do my best to guess and correct as I go.

[mmouse15.livejournal.com]

Fixed, fixed, fixed and fixed. Thanks for the help!

[hellsangelcurse.livejournal.com]

No problem. You work so hard to get this out to us, it's the least I can do.

[fuzzy-ninja.livejournal.com]

I was wondering, if it's at all possible, to update the two fic links listed under my name? I've switched the stories to another journal...

Lost Highway--> http://community.livejournal.com/fuzzy_writes/12658.html
Cat & Mouse--> http://community.livejournal.com/fuzzy_writes/13157.html

Sorry about that! Just wanna keep things fresh.

[mmouse15.livejournal.com]

Please don't be sorry! It's wonderful that you took the time to tell me about this so that our links continue to work. They've been changed, and I really do appreciate your time in commenting here. Thanks!
