The Cybertronian

Fiction Edition
8 thru 14 November, 2008

Editor's Note

So NaNoWriMo has started, and for all that it cuts into our writers posting time, we reap the benefits in December when they clean and post their awesome stories! That said, I'm deeply grateful for the writers that have continued to write and post – the quality is fabulous! We've also started getting springkink stories, and some of our best writers are giving us terrific short stories based on those prompts. Go read them! I've marked them for easier finding.
As always, if I've missed something, forgotten a link, or in any way messed up, please let me know!

we reap the benefits in December when they clean and post their awesome stories

*blink* I'm sorry?

Edit: gah, okay, I am dumb, I forgot that some people do fanfic for NaNo.

[mmouse15.livejournal.com]

It's OK. I was surprised last December at the VOLUME of stories that came out until someone told me that's what they did for NaNo. Means that November is unusually quiet, and December is tons of stories.

What are you writing now-a-days?

[childofatlantis.livejournal.com]

NaNo. Which is original-fic, and which no-one gets to see, ever, hence my intial surprise. Will be back on TF fic after November.

[mmouse15.livejournal.com]

Enjoy your NaNo, and I'll see you December! I'm looking forward to it. :D

[redseeker.livejournal.com]

Not to nitpick, but it's 'Peace' not 'Pease' :/

[mmouse15.livejournal.com]

Oh, thank you. *is embarrassed* I really do know how to spell...thanks for your help.

[beckyh2112.livejournal.com]

I'm a bit puzzled. Why are some slashy stories listed with characters as Character A/Character B, but others that are just as slashy are Character A, Character B?

[mmouse15.livejournal.com]

Headers. Some weeks I'm just running as fast as I can to get links and post the newsletter in time, and I just take the info on the headers. Other times, I've read the story. I think I'm supposed to do commas, but this week...I was a copy/paste fool. It's been crazybusy in my life.

[eerian_sadow]

hey, you've listed my fic "Sacred Trust" twice. as the link over at springkink goes streight back to my journal, i'm sure you can safely remove the second listing.

[mmouse15.livejournal.com]

Can you tell I was running on fumes and caffeine? It's fixed.

Thanks for the help!

[eerian_sadow]

we all run out of caffene and fumes eventually. it's okay.

you're welcome.
