Editor's Note

As mmouse15 already told you last week, I am back in action for the newsletter. And I can tell you it is just great to be back!
Anyway, this week seems to be one of the more prolific ones the writers have produced. Especially the fabulous lady_katana4544. Wow, so many stories...

Hey just to let you know, the link for Oops doesn't work. It seems to be showing the url for that one.

Also Starscream's Pet Legion of Doom, A Fragmented Past, and Suspicions are an AU of the movieverse. :)

[ex-miraging.livejournal.com]

Just wanted to drop a note-- for my series "Alive", it's spelled "Alife" <33

[delilahdraken]

And it's fixed.

Thanks for telling me.

[delilahdraken]

Thanks for letting me know. It's fixed now.

That kind of stuff always happpens to me when I forget to think in English.

[lady_katana4544]

No problem. :)

[ex-miraging.livejournal.com]

XDDD It's okay :333 <3

[katsuko]

I actually had two fics go up during the week:

Newlyweds [Soundwave/Starscream, G1 AU, sticky, smut, PWP] - NC-17/MA

Bad Day [Mirage/Cliffjumper, G1, fluff] - T

*glomps Delilah*

Welcome back!

And you remember that the volume changes - I never do, so I'm glad it was you this week!

How's your new computer treating you?

[delilahdraken]

My apologies for missing the stories. I've added them now.

[delilahdraken]

*glomps back*

It great to be here again.

The volume changes were every thirty issues, right? I always forget what the number was.

The new computer is treating me very nicely. Though I have to admit Vista is something I'll need to get used to, reminds me a bit of bubble gum. That aside, I don't know what I will ever need the 120 GB of hard drive I've got in the machine. The old laptop had only thirty and I never even got that full.

[black-shiro.livejournal.com]

I just wonder...maybe you could add "Earth, Wind and Fire" by The lunatic who cares (it's on FF.net) to the fiction list? It's a really sweet Thundercracker/Hound story (crack pairing yeaay!^o^) :3
