Post a single sentence extract from each WIP you have (or as many as you want to pick). No context, no explanations.Because I am a sheep but mainly because I need as many people as possible to kick me in the aft and tell me to start writing and finishing my blasted fics. The main problem is that I have more than plenty of ideas running around my

It had always been difficult to judge the Communications Officer’s emotions, but this time, they all knew he was angrier than they’ve ever known him.

“Apologies, Prime, but logic dictates that the winning side will unquestionably be the Decepticons. And as I would very much like to survive this war, I must ally myself with them.”

He held the small piece of metal in his hands and hoped that it would be enough to fix the telepath.

*feeds bunnies* These look like especially fun-to-read stories. Shall I get to aft kicking or will simply feeding bunnies suffice? Or we can agree to just prod each other to finish our stories cause Primus knows I'm in the same boat.

“Of course not, I’m just very respectful of the distance I can fall.”

And I just love this line.

*flails* See, I haven't forgotten, I've just been incredibly lazy busy.

And of course, you have to choose all the ones from the fics that wanna be epics.

First Sentence: From the Bunny Farm; Megatron goes a little too far in his anger and harms one of the cassettes. Baaaaaad idea.

Second Sentence: Also from the Bunny Farm. Actually, this is one of those cases where multiple bunnies see each other and start breeding. Can you guess who the Autobot is?

Third Sentence: Writing Community specifically for Transformers. I have absolutely no idea what's going on here, that's just the first thing that popped in my head when I read the prompt. And it won't go away or tell me what's going on. *pouts

Re: *insert aft-kick icon*

[ink_in_hand]

*actually had forgotten about this*

...Sorry? Or maybe it's best that I can prod these, if they're going to be your longer ones.

First: Megatron, you've done some stupid things in the past but this is one that'll make you wish you'd never been sparked.

Second: Hurrrrr....I know it can't be Prowl, but I can't put my finger on who it could be. X3

Third: *pouts too*

Over 40? Yeesh I know exactly how you feel, I think I have about twice that many in unfinished pictures and that number keeps growing. *whines* My motivation has just been slag these last few months of winter, Hailstorm can keep the cold because I'm fed up with hibernating

Re: *insert aft-kick icon*

[heslestor]

Was going to reply yesterday, but had to deal with raccoons in the chimney.

I'd like to at least get half of my one shots done before I start working on my longer ones, but when characters demand something, there's not much you can do.

First: This is why we have a thing called anger management classes, Megatron. Maybe you should have learned to control your temper before doing stupid slag like this. There's a possibility that now, Starscream is probably going to be his closest ally. Because once Shockwave hears about this, I doubt his logic will let him follow a leader that harms one of his strongest supporters.Second: This is what happens when bunnies breed. Started out as a single Autobot secretly working for the Decepticons, then that bunny saw a few other bunnies where there were other 'Bots secretly undercover 'Cons, and well, this is part of what happens. Waaaaaay near the end actually, since the Autobots don't truly realize how screwed they are until the last battle

Re: *insert aft-kick icon*

[ink_in_hand]

That's kinda awesome in its' own aggravating way I suppose.

First: That is all sorts of disturbing. Starscream being Megatrons' closest ally. And yush, Shockwave. Would that mean that the army might split too?

Second: Now I really want to see this story started. *examines various aft-kicking boots*

Pics or fics? Uhhhhh...*pulls up folder* .... *looks at the sheer number of uncompleted images* You know, it just might be easier for me to steal your idea and post a to-do/finish list on my journal and have people poke me.

*snerk* Now I'm imagining that's how they first met. The Sauricons are out playing gravity chicken when one or more of them notices an explosion in the distance and they head over to check it out. There they find a bot covered in whatever residue extremely focused on recording the results of whatever it was he was doing. And instead of the standard reaction of finding someone who was in a blast radius they ask him What were you doing to cause that?! We felt/hear/saw it from *insert however far* away and your plume

Re: *insert aft-kick icon*

[heslestor]

A mama and seven babies. The only reason I knew they were even in there was because I was in the shower, heard a tremendous crash, got out and saw that the grate in front of the fireplace had fallen, and inside were six little bundles of fur squirming around. The seventh baby had fallen all the way into the basement

Re: *insert aft-kick icon*

[ink_in_hand]

There is now an image in my head of soot covered raccoon kits looking all adorable as only young things can.

First: *sits down to wait for the fic*

Second: If you have to, break up the bunny into multiple parts. "Prequel", story bulk, and a "sequel". Hopefully it won't feel like such a giant if you do it that way. And I really like the idea of a flier med-bot, it makes a lot more sense than a groundling like you said.

Ooooh, Torpedo is all excited to know that he likes extremophiles. Being able to swim the great deeps will come in handy for collecting some to trade for lessons, plus I think the tylosaur somehow inherited Scrappers' love of collecting stuff for the team. Are you doing better? Brain fog is no fun at all, and if your head isn't clear I hope it does so soon.*stares in awe* So how many pilot licenses do you have, or do you just ride? I'd like to get one sometime in the near future, I've already had a sort of pre-class and once my art starts bringing in extra spending money I hope to go for the real thing. And I'm

Re: *insert aft-kick icon*

[heslestor]

Oh, those things were squawkers. As soon as I picked them up they started making a fuss like nothing else. They were also all around a week old so yes, they were beyond adorable.

First: You'll be waiting a long while, since most of the stuff I have written for it is only notes. Just like most of my other multi-chapter stuff. That sentence is actually the only thing I have written for it fic wise, since I normally like to make a lot of notes and plot everything out first before I write it, that way I won't write myself into a corner I can't get out of.

Second: That's what I'm planning on doing. Just so I can start getting the ideas out of my head. Does not help that I keep on going back to the Random Pairing Generator. I can quite whenever I want, honest! Also, there's already a prequel for the fic that insists on being written first. It's the reason I'm stalling on it so much because I need to figure out eveyone's motivation for making the choices they do. Ratchet is being the most stubborn of the lot, too. *flails* The idea of

Re: *insert aft-kick icon*

[ink_in_hand]

First: Good plan. I'm not nearly as organized with my fics as you are, bits an pieces pop up and I write as they come to me. It's kind of like a jigsaw puzzle in that regard for me as opposed to anything else.

Second: *amused grin* We are slaves to the muses, no matter how much we fight it. Personally I was seeing Ratchet as a 'copter of some sort because of their maneuverability, but that doesn't really matter to transformers does it.

You know, it's kinda hard to explain but I think it's fascinating how our characters are starting to interact. And I'm glad Hotzone is letting you see more and more of him, which is also my way of asking is he finally letting you write him? Though I'm curious as to how he views my team whose questions will never stop.

That is one lovely toybox, at least you get to play with what's in there despite your jealousy. I've never been flying beyond trips in a commercial airliner, so...yeah. And I say cessna, as that seems to be the most common small plane for pilots. (It's also more or less the only kind I

Re: *insert aft-kick icon*

[heslestor]

First: When I actually write this, or any fic really, it's much like a jigsaw as well. I have a scene for one of the longer fics and I have absolutely no clue where it goes, just that it belongs somewhere in there. There's just scenes that come to me clearer than others and if I don't write them down, I'll lose them completely

Re: *insert aft-kick icon*

[ink_in_hand]

First & Second: *can't think of anything else to add as everything is agreed with*

I've got Drumlin wanting and near demanding to have Hailstorm in his fic, so it's not just Hotzone of yours that my charas are after. I know, I know, my bad. I'll try to get them up soon, it's been a combination of my being busy (and lazy) and them being stubborn. They don't quite understand his bafflement; they're curious, and he's willing to spend the time answering their questions. It doesn't help not knowing where he's coming from when they don't know a time without the war. That and I have the suspicion they don't really see him as an Autobot at all. Because if true, it explains so much of their attitude towards him. Besides it's not as though he's on the battlefield shooting at them.
*snerk* You have a devious mind, I like it. I even thought about doing the same, but I'm leaning towards the birds. *gleefully ignores the common definition

Re: *insert aft-kick icon*

[heslestor]

Well, Hailstorm is currently stationed on one of Jupiter's moons. Io, I'm thinking, with a small group of other 'Cons looking to find some fuel sources that the Autobots aren't really going to be caring about at the moment. He's strutting around the place, too, teasing the other 'Cons with the fact that while they're freezing in their armor, he's quite warm. He's also gleefully teaching them how to make igloos and other more primitive and organic type things to survive the cold.
Darkmatter is actually in the process of becoming a partner to a Targetmaster. Since I've been reading up on snipers some more, the fact that your spotter is also your weapon would most likely be very helpful.
And Novastrike is, well he's off painting his talons a bright pink color right now. All the while straddling a huge cannon he just finished repairing and daring anyone to say a thing about the innuendo. *rolls eyes* He's a bit of a perv when he wants to be

Re: *insert aft-kick icon*

[ink_in_hand]

Unfortunately Drumlin is on a blizzard like moon/planet(I don't know yet, I haven't been allowed to see more than one outpost) that isn't even near our solar system. Not only is he being stubborn about this but he's also being completely unreasonable, unless you can think of a way for Hailstorm(and obviously trine) to ever be back where Cybertron used to be. He has a good reason for staying where he is and he's not moving. Unless.... wait. *brainstorm*
Anything beyond knowing what they have to constantly compensate for I know nothing of snipers and spotters. But that sounds like a great match up.
*snerk* I don't think any of mine are pervs, though with my own stance I'm not surprised. And if any are, they're not talking.
Nice, good luck with them. I'm not even going to try and introduce ore of mine until I actually have something written.I should just assign myself X amount of time each day to work on fics, otherwise at the rate I'm going the icecaps will melt first.Which is such a scary thought I don't even want to begin to fathom it

Re: *insert aft-kick icon*

[heslestor]

See, the thing about my Seekers is that they're a lot like Commandos or Navy SEALS, they're just as efficient alone as they are together. That's one of their main purposes and one of the biggest advantages they have over the other trines. So, Hailstorm is on the moon as the commanding officer of that particular little bunch while his brothers are each doing their own thing. Novastrike probably creating a stock mile of munitions and Darkmatter off assassinating someone. And I love How Stuff Works, it has information on just about anything you want to know about. I'm also using some of the information found in the game Mass Effect to see about alien planets and moons and the like when I want to create my own, it's very useful having a bit of a starting point like that. Do you know how hard it is to find anything about acid rain that doesn't deal with Earth

Re: *insert aft-kick icon*

[ink_in_hand]

So the possibility of Hailstorm working on his own is high? This is good. So you don't mind my borrowing him? This is good. Letting characters do what they want? This too is good. *clings to How Stuff Works like a limpet* How did I not know this site existed?! This is wonderful. I haven't tried looking for not earth acid rain, but I can imagine your aggravation. If you need any help creating planets, I can at least help you with the geology. Majored in it a little while and have had a near lifelong interest in how a planet works.
Hmm, so an advanced olfactory system? *ponders* A scientist might work well. Wheeljack? Or maybe someone he had/is working with, those vocal indicators would certainly help anyone who was deaf.

I think I figured out a reason for Drumlin to travel off his moon/planet and since he's neutral with resources it attracts attention. Hence the need to assign someone able to handle very cold weather. (before, it was going to be only chance and letting Hailstorm have some free time to explore the freezing world

Re: *insert aft-kick icon*

[heslestor]

At the moment, I'm mostly trying to figure out how acid rain works on Cybertron and a few other planets. I can use Earth as a good starting point for Cybertron because of all the industrial similarities but that's where it ends. I'm of the firm belief that Cybertron wouldn't be able to support human life without the human wearing some sort of environmental/haz mat suit. As much as I loved that one Animated episode, you can probably guess how much it irritated the ever loving slag out of me when Fanzone was able to walk around Cybertron without a hitch.Wheeljack, eh? That makes a great deal of sense, in a way. I'm thinking that one of his assistants has poorly developed audio sensors and that's why he got those odd little glowing head fins that flicker when he talk's. As for the assistant, well I'm either going to have to make an OC out of him or find some obscure science minded mech in the TF Wiki archives that I can use for this purpose. Then there's the fact that snakes can hear, it's just that they can't hear the high ranges that
