The Cybertronian

Transformers Fandom Newsletter

First Issue

August 8-15, 2007

Editor's Note

Welcome to the first issue of The Cybertronian, the Transformers Fandom Newsletters.  I am always looking for good things to post in the newsletter, and submission templates and communities I watch are at this post.  The email address for the newsletter is the.cybertronian@gmail.com.  I plan on covering fic, art, icons, graphics, videos, and discussion for all continuities of Transformers, from G1 to the 2007  movie.  I do have a policy of only linking public posts.  I also reserve the right to link posts at my discretion. 



All fic and art is Movie-verse unless otherwise noted.



Posting this now and will finish in AM.  I've spent 6 hours and I swear this is the longest newsletter I've EVER done, and I'm not even finished!  Y'all I swear.  I've skipped back 300 entries for one week's worth of stuff.  I may have to do a daily issue, the way y'all are being so prolific. 

ETA: LJ ate all the icon entries because of some goofy code.  Have fixed and tidied up a bit.  Forgive the extra spaces between the lines of the fic section.  I'm too aggravated with LJ to mess around with this thing.  Friday will be another issue.

Wow...excellent work! I do a newsletter for another fandom and I know how much work it is! *applauds*

[ravynstoneabbey]

Yeah. Six hours last night + 2 hours this morning and I still have some formatting to clean up. That is the longest newsletter I've ever done.

Thank you!

[bat-cheva.livejournal.com]

This is so very cool. Thanks for doing this.

[ravynstoneabbey]

Welcome!

I hope it didn't rape your flist since the thing is so huge. I had to skip back 300 entries to get everything.

[bat-cheva.livejournal.com]

Nope nope, not at all. I'd actually not seen most of it. Man, there are some seriously talented fans out there.

[protoaxl.livejournal.com]

That was awesome!

[ravynstoneabbey]

Thank you!

I had to tussle with LJ. It ate the icon section and part of the News & Discussion Section. *grrs* I'm making it an MWF newsletter, because of the sheer amount of content y'all are doing. So another issue will be on Friday.

[fredmonster.livejournal.com]

Oooo! Informative AND groovy! 8D

[ravynstoneabbey]

Thank you!

[crimsonyoukai.livejournal.com]

yey... the fanart and News section are my favs! :D I can finally go thru the art without worrying about pron. ;o;

[ravynstoneabbey]

Or if you want porn, you can find it! I try to rate everything and make notes of if it is safe for work or not, since not everybody browses the net only at home.

Enjoy!

[jacques-strappe.livejournal.com]

Thank you for this! It's really, really helpful.

[ravynstoneabbey]

Welcome! :) I wanted to have a resource for finding things. I much rather look for something on one page than try to remember where I saw it and what day it was.

[splendidshadows.livejournal.com]

Hoooooooly crud, you went all the way to skip=300? =O I also help with a fandom newsletter, and skip =200 busts my head!

Bravo to you, and thanks for doing this! ;)

[ravynstoneabbey]

Yeah. I'm not doing that again. I'm doing a second issue tonight, with a third planned for Monday.

And I have 50 entries on each page of my flist, so yeah. My poor brain broke. :)

Welcome!

[phoiniks.livejournal.com]

Wow. Excellent work, this is really helpful. Thank you for doing this :)

[ravynstoneabbey]

You're welcome :)

[speechie42.livejournal.com]

I LOVE YOU. You obviously have too much time, but this will make my life easier and I love you. However, I do think you should tag it as "The Cybertronian" because tags are limited and that would work MUCH better for trying to find this stuff later.

[ravynstoneabbey]

I may do just that when I post in other comms. I'm planning on using the tags to find specific issues.

(Eh. I'm on the computer anyways, might as well be useful)

*blush*

[speechie42.livejournal.com]

Hmmmm...I understand that, but the purpose of tags is to group things together so that if a reader likes something they can follow the tag to a grouping of things they'll like. If someone was looking to find more of this newsletter they wouldn't be able to (except to find all the issue 4's or volume 1's and after volume 2 started it would get difficult to find volume 1). Not unless they wanted to do the LJ search and track it down which, if your like me, takes a ridiculous amount of time...not to mention patience.

Whatever. These are my thoughts and my thoughts alone. I won't feel offended if you ignore them. I'm just very opinionated and rarely know when to shut my mouth *blushes*

[ravynstoneabbey]

Oh! Completely misunderstood what you were trying to say. I'll be adding tags for days I do the newsletter, since I wasn't planning on doing more than a weekly issue in the actual comm, and each post I do advertising the issue in tf2007fun will have thecybertronian tag.

[speechie42.livejournal.com]

Oh. That's cool. ^^

omg. I posted 9 chapters in a week? *falls over* This was amazing! Great job
