Fic Recs

I love when you guys find stories and recommend them. We've got another one this week, Aporia by Lnzy1 on FFN. Here's the summary: The day the new Allspark came into being was the day Sam Witwicky died. But a millennia later on a renewed Cybertron, a new life is sparked; One with green optics and memories of another world. AU movieverse. [Bee x Sam] Sounds interesting!

Beta requests

None this week.

Misc.

Voting! The entries are posted and voting is open at tfic_contest until Thursday, go read and vote!
Yo! Reminder that the tf_rare_pairing stories are due to be posted by September 8th!
A question about Primus in the movie-verse, do you know?
Reminder! The Awkward Moment stories for flesh_and_steel are due September 15th!
The mod at tf_twofates is looking for some help – info here, reply if you can help.

So, for those of you that had stories over on TransFictions.net, if you haven't been to the new site you wouldn't know this. Everything came over, all the authors, links, and fun stuff EXCEPT you can't access the stories. This problem hasn't been fixed, so most authors are re-loading their stories. If you have posted something there, please wander on over and re-load so we can access all the wonderful stories. I promise, the Cybertronian editors are not reposting your stories unless you've updated, but it would be delightful if we could once again read everything on the site. Thank you for your help and consideration on this matter.

thanks for the compliment (i think?) on the bunny i posted. i literally became red in the face from blushing.

[mmouse15.livejournal.com]

Absolutely yes, it was a compliment! It's very detailed and thoughtful - I wanted non-bunny farm followers to go read that particular post. I'd love to see if anyone follows up on it, because wow, that was a really interesting idea.

[witch08.livejournal.com]

thank you. first aid has become one of my fave tfs and i don't see many fics about him or the protectobots. then i was watching the first movie and the old cartoons a few days ago, and saw the new movie. i haven't finished reading the books yet. but this idea came and won't leave me alone!

[eerian_sadow]

you forgot to mention that we're voting over at tfic_contest until next thursday.

[mmouse15.livejournal.com]

Pit. I knew I was forgetting something...it's fixed.

[sorciere.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much for the hard work on the newsletters - it's so nice to have a convenient place to find the fics here! :D

[mmouse15.livejournal.com]

Thank you, I'm glad you're enjoying the newsletter! XD

[katsuko]

Whoa, lots of updates!

And you missed one of mine, although with FF.net acting up, I wasn't able to upload it there.... I'ma try my luck again later today:

Turning Point [low-T, Blaster, Cassettebots, movie, AU, character death]

I should probably also mention that it's the prequel to my long-ago-posted fic Hidden, huh?

[mmouse15.livejournal.com]

*headdesk* Sorry, Katsuko. It's been added, and don't ask me how I missed that - I watch your stuff and read it! Can I put it down to a really busy week and plead forgiveness from you?

Thanks for the links - it's been added.

[katsuko]

*hugs* Hey, it happens to all of us. And I've only just now got the fic uploaded to FF.net, thanks to some advice from a couple of friends :3 This week really has been kinda insane for me as well so... yep, valid excuse :D

[pennieblack.livejournal.com]

I love the Fiction Edition. (: I just get so giddy when it's released. <3

[mmouse15.livejournal.com]

Thanks for saying so, Pennie! I'm glad you're enjoying it!

ZOMG

[dreamerchaos.livejournal.com]

...Is it a good thing or a bad thing that I have the ZOMG angst? *laughs*

But, I do admit, those particular drabbles were pretty heavy on the angst. XD

Re: ZOMG

[mmouse15.livejournal.com]

You are an amazing writer, and so creative, but some people avoid drabbles just because they're too short - but yours told a complete (angsty!) story in just a few words - so I wanted people to know they were worth the read.

I like making notes on particularly good stories, so it's a good thing, even if it is ZOMG angst!

[rusty-chevy.livejournal.com]

Dunno if you have me on watch at TransFictions (my handle there is Rusty Chevrolet), but I just finished re-loading all my stuff.

... I'm glad I don't have more and longer fics, what a pain in the aft! ;P

[mmouse15.livejournal.com]

Yeah, Rusty, we watch everyone but we're not doing everyone's re-loads, just the new stuff.

I'm dreading doing mine...
