And I have been pimping the pit out of it
Chapter 2 - Skywarp, Scavenger, Soundwave
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5437908/2/Designation_Spoiler I worked obsessively to get each character I used the perspective to stay and sound like them even while interacting with my oc. I feel like I acomplished that 10 fold and now that the plot is well underway I want to keep going with it.
Chapter 1 can be treated as the one shot it set out to be. Chapter 2 is meant as a transition for what I have planed next. In it the reader follows Spoiler around the Nemesis through the optics of three Decepticons. Each section has a different focus and utilizing a different sense of humor all while getting the oc from point a to b.
I realised after writing the outline that the humor corresponded a lot with what the charecters were like. So I refined that a bit more in the final draft:
Skywarp- prankster (on the darker side)
Scavenger - slapstick
Soundwave - ironic
Anyway, Spoiler's my oc that's molded after me but then tweaked to be even worse. I set three ground rules to writing het to keep her interesting to me and away from a Mary-sue.
Shes not going to have sex with anyone/thing
(doesn't mean she isn't gonna try)
Aside from a quick blurb, you won't be in her perspective
(that would be too painful to read or write considering how I wrote her)
Physically there is nothing particularly attractive or powerful about her
(I find this to be a key ingredient that tends to make or break an oc)
I'm really happy with this plot idea so of course I want to shove it down anyone's throat that might be the least bit interested. Especially since I know any story with an OC femme and no promise of sex is a hard sell.
So I'm prepared to have no fan base for this story. But that's still not gonna stop me from getting it out there and sharing. I feel like I have something refreshingly new and funny here. I know I get bord of the same types of story and character cleches that gets used over and over again but are just done by a different writer thanks to a fandom.
