Volume 29, Issue#853
The Cybertronian
Fiction Edition
20 July-03 August 2013
Editor's Note
Hi everyone! Bumper edition this week, plenty of fics to enjoy <3 Plus Auto Assembly's next weekend, woo!
A quick note about ratings - where authors have given two ratings for the same fic and those ratings don't correspond (for example T/PG or K+/G), I've put the fic under the higher rating. If any fics need to be moved, just let me know :) Same if I've made any errors.
And now, onto the newsletter...
