The Cybertronian

Fiction Edition
23 - 31 August, 2008

Editor's Note

First, I'd like to apologize for the lateness. To make it up to you I've included the story links up to Sunday.

Second, please dear authors, use a header for your stories. You can find an example here. It would make the link compiling much easier and accurate if we didn't need to guess the rating or 'verse of your writing.

And now I wish you all a very fun time reading all the fabulous stories that were posted this week.

Recs

I'd like to rec Conceptions of the Self by meicailya (rated R). This story is very interesting and in my eyes a fresh viewpoint on the 'Sam is transformed into a robot' stories we've seen so far. The relationship between him and Bumblebee builds up slow, and the other characters seem so real that I sometimes wondered why this wasn't a movie.

Misc

The Kink Meme at springkink is now closed, so go over here and read all the great TF stories. You'll have to search a bit, as it's not Fandom sorted.

(*) - marks stories found without a complete header, so it is not sure that rating etc. are accurate.

Thanks for the link.

I've looked through it and under the tag are no new entries. The latest was from 25 July.

[mmouse15.livejournal.com]

Thank you, but I thought that was why you did the placeholder!

I hope you're doing well.

And now I'm off to read your rec'd fic...

[delilahdraken]

I started working at the kindergarten again to let the kids get used to me, and it's as fabulous as I always knew it can be. Made me wonder that maybe not all of my problems with the old kiga were because of my mental stuff.

So, it's starting to get better with life. It's a nice feeling.

[mmouse15.livejournal.com]

That's great to hear! I'm working with kindergartners this year; I'm having a blast. I'm glad you are too, and that you're feeling better about life. And it's always good to find out that you're not the problem, someone else was, isn't it?

*hugs*
