I'll have it up this evening German time.

The Cybertronian

Fiction Edition
July 25 - 31, 2009

Editor's Note

My deepest apologies for the long wait for this issue. I had it nearly done when my family got trouble with our landlord and I've spent the time after that trying to avoid being sued and other very unpleasant things by him.
That said, I hope you'll enjoy this issue as we had some fantastic stories this week.

I love you.

I thought I had to do it this week, and it struck me last night that I hadn't gotten any links and I would have to wedge in time to gather all the links...and then I read this and I thank you. I can go camping with a clear conscience and leave this edition in your very capable hands.

*whew*

[delilahdraken]

No problem. I said I would do the next two weeks after last week, so...

Have fun camping.

[mmouse15.livejournal.com]

Well, let me take this coming week, from this post forward, okay? Say yes.

[delilahdraken]

If you want to, ok. But I won't have any problems doing two weeks in a row.

[sunny-and-sides.livejournal.com]

I would love to make a suggestion if that's okay. And I would love to help out if possible, too.

I've seen a couple of communities where the fic editions are broken down into two weekly editions, like on Tuesdays and Fridays. I've also seen comm's where Fic, Artwork, etc are done semi-monthly.

You guys do such an awesome job and all of this, but, you all have your own lives as well. I know Miss Mouse is gearing up for school and everyone else has RL problems too, be they work or just computers not working. Don't let people get ya down. You're doing this for fun. Real Life has to come first.

Anyways, I just wanted to give a couple of ideas. Let me know if I can be of some help. I'm having surgery on the 13th of this month and school begins for me on the 24th but I am only in class MWF so... if I can help, I'll do my best to try.
