[TF Fanfic] Survey Ship Visit
Oct. 8th, 2011 12:11 pmI recently found this story on my hard drive; apparently I had set it aside for editing, and then completely forgotten about it! I found it, edited it, and it is now posted for your entertainment on my website and on FF.net.
Survey Ship Visit
same, @fanfiction.net
[G1, probably S4/2007] Skyfire & Starscream are surveying star systems for Rodimus Prime-but what do they do when they have to report on the politics and economics of a world that hates and fears intelligent machines?

Yes, I really do have a website and it's not utterly dead. Just woefully out-of-date.
One out-of-date page is my Palm E-docs page. Alas, the Palm is no longer the mainstream ebook reader, and the venerable Aportis-Doc format isn't exactly an industry standard anymore. As for the proprietary iSilo format--has anyone even heard of it anymore?
These days the most-used formats are MobiPocket, HTML, PDF, and EPub, as far as I can tell. I personally loathe PDFs for reading, so I'm not going to go to the trouble of making them or hosting them. HTML is not so much an E-book format as a standard markup format that can be easily converted to any format you want. Besides, it's handy for reading on your computer.
So, my thoughts are that my old Palm E-Docs page will turn into a new E-Books page, and Palm-DOC and iSilo versions of my fanfics will be replaced or updated with:
* zipped HTML for offline reading (already exist, but need updating)
* MobiPocket (useable on Kindle, and easily converted to other formats)
* EPUB (useable on Sony E-Reader and several others)
Have I missed any major formats that people need to read on the device of their choice? Please let me know.

One Dead End claim left
Jun. 3rd, 2009 08:06 pmFor those of you who like Dead End ficlets, there's ONE claim left in my ancient 28 Dead Ends meme: On Vacation. Go for it!
[fic] Excited Dead End
Sep. 11th, 2008 10:00 pmSomething I haven't posted in quite a while: another Dead End 28! Down to the last few, actually.
Excited Dead End
Action/Adventure
[G1 Transformers] Wildrider inflicts more "culture" on Dead End; this time, it's the Arena. Dead End is bored; Wildrider tries to make it more 'interesting'.
Also, for those of you who overlooked it, last week I slipped in Disheveled Dead End in my 28 Dead Ends.

[fic] Conversations with a Trickster
Oct. 24th, 2007 06:16 pm[G1] Sometime after the events of "Ghost in the Machine" (and several of my stories as well) Starscream is up in the mountains for some privacy and time to think about where he's been and where he's going... so what's with the remarkably conversational giant wolf?

Oct. 7th, 2007 10:54 amAnother Dead End 28:
Why We Don't Let Dead End Give Combat Briefings, aka Obedient Dead End
[G1] Dead End is ordered to give a combat briefing by Starscream. This was not a good idea.
Set just post-season 2, with an early S3 framing sequence.

Oct. 2nd, 2007 09:33 pm[G1] Skywarp learns about the concept of 'Trick-or-Treat' and plans an elaborate, sadistic prank on Starscream for Halloween. It would have worked, too, if not for those meddling Autobots!

Oh, scrap. I just realized that 5 days ago I probably broke every external link on the internet to my stories. I'll fix that tonight, y'all. In the mean time, you can get to my stories from my website. The internal links are correct as of right now.
Update: links are fixed. Outside links to my stories should work properly again.

May. 16th, 2007 09:05 am[G1, post-TFTM and long, long ago] Skyfire asks Starscream what happened after Skyfire was lost in the ice, and learns about guilt, and the changes that happen when you are too long returning home, and what happened to those who tried to erase Starscream from history.

Jan. 16th, 2007 09:28 amHere's one of the other stories that came out of writing Autobot Angels. My thanks to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ravenclaw_devi for some heavy-duty beta-reading and critiquing.
Decepticon Ghosts
[G1,TFTM] An offbeat tale of the death, afterlife, and life of Thundercracker and Skywarp. With flish. And Starscream gets his two cents in.

Jan. 5th, 2007 09:48 pm[G1,TF:TM] A novella of the Autobot dead who did not go gently into that good night, nor rested quietly while their friends fought so desperately for Autobot City.
Autobot Angels
Multi-chaptered fic (11 chapters), but complete, done, finished! You won't be left hanging waiting for the end of an incomplete story. Thank you tobeckyh2112 and ravynfyre for beta-reading! May you enjoy it!
I started writing this story over six months ago and it was a beast to finish; it kept developing weird structural problems that I had to sort out and fix. I learned a lot about recognizing issues with a longer story while writing it, though. I posted about my travails with it back when I first started:
Progress Report - first mentioned 6/5/2006
The joys of editing.. - structural problems 6/5/2006
More joy of editing - more structural problems 6/8/2006
Another fic ready for Beta... - boy was I premature! 6/11/2006
A meme I like - dropped a snippet from it as a WIP. 8/30/2006

[fic] Compartment C-134
Jan. 2nd, 2007 02:18 pmA Duskwing story.
[G1] Starscream tosses two human prisoners into an unused berthing compartment. Too bad no one told him just why that compartment is never used. Really too bad that Duskwing is a bit possessive about his old quarters.

Dec. 31st, 2006 09:59 amAnother one of my 28s that won't fit in a comment. You'd think by know that I'd know better than to even try...
This one takes place shortly after the events of On His Knees Dead End.

1. Pick one of my characters, any one (even if you're only familiar with a vague description instead of a name).
2. I will tell you the origin of his/her name.
3. I will tell you random facts surrounding his/her creation.
4. I will give you a random fact of his/her backstory.
5. I will give you a random fact of his/her forestory.
6. You may ask me up to ten questions about the character
7. I will give you one TMI fact. (And if you don't want that, please specify.)
Forestory, in this instance, is either measured from the latest chronological fanfic I've written them in, or, if they haven't appeared in a fanfic, from the starting point of the canon they come from.
( I have written both DBZ and TFs, and have lots of OCs... )

I blame this on too many nights getting not enough sleep, and those crazy people on the LJ RP. Nothing that follows is to be taken seriously. *wink*

Oct. 21st, 2006 01:49 pmAnother Halloween story.
Ghost Jets
[G1] There are stories Air Force and Navy pilots tell on Halloween (and many other dark nights) about the ghost jets that fly on moonlit nights, jets no plane can catch, no radar illuminate, no heatseeker track. Here's a few of those tales.
