Thank you very much!

"You probably know that the premise of this fic is one of the most common ones out there and usually executed badly."

I'm very well aware, thank you! ^_^; I know that it's one of the most cliched plots, involving one of the most-abused Decepticons--I probably wouldn't have had the nerve to tackle it if not for a very good fandom friend requesting it.

"But the writing and the characterization is good enough that I think it's worth giving you the benefit of the doubt."

Thank you very much for that! Thank you for giving it a chance at all, in fact--I know that a lot of people wouldn't, and with good reason.

Naturalist!Starscream kind of cracks me up, too! And yep, teenage angst not that Starscream isn't just as ridiculous sometimes which is not a good combination with Decepticons who don't care about humans at all. As someone who's still recovering from my teenage years (although I seem to be past the worst bits by now) it's been very interesting to write. I often need to remind myself to keep a sense of perspective on my emotions--but I am all too familiar with that sense of world-crushing despair when it comes to who's friends with who and what your ex-who-you-might-kind-of-like-if-he-wasn't-a-JERKASS did. XD

So, anyway, the point of all this rambling is: Thank you! It's great your enjoying my story, badfic cliche or no, and I hope that you continue to. The next chapter should be up soon!
