And even more on the Seeker Datsuns.

Feb 17, 2009 22:39

After reading meallanmouse's fic (posted below), the bunny went rabid, dug out the 28 'character' prompt list, gave me ideas for some of them, then chewed me into writing all 28. Not posted in order of occurrence, so timeline jumps around a bit as we progress down the prompts. Let me know if a list of the prompts in order would be helpful.

Elements of sanjuno's ( Read more... )

prompts: 28, 'verse: at any price, fic

I don't know if it'll continue, really ^_^;; *prays bunny never finds other prompt lists*

*is glomped* No problem, glad you liked :3

GAH!! You've gotta continue this.... the cassettes were Prowl's sparklings??

Wonderful work.*happy dance & gives cookeez**

ante_luce February 17 2009, 16:25:32 UTC

Just three of them ^_^

Cookie?! *snaffles*

Prolific Lord, was he? hehehe

Well, there were three flying cassettes that I knew of, so, what the hey. The trine thing is common place in seeker fanon (at least, in my headspace), so why not spark in trines?

Eeek! *squeaks* You used Seeker-cant! *loves* Oh, and I adore the way Punch is the only 'Bot that gets it. The Jazz and the Bots need to figure out that things aren't always black-and-white. *is bricked!*

Extenuating circumstances wot. Plus, I'm a firm believer that not telling the truth isn't the same as lying.

ante_luce February 17 2009, 16:36:30 UTC

It's but a poor copy of yours ^_^;; Punch has been there, he has. They need to listen to him more *offers brick-salve*

I'm more of the mindset that not telling the whole truth (or, if we want to be really sneaky, telling the truth as it pertains to similar but different circumstances) isn't out and out lying.

Pshaw. You either give me too much credit or yourself too little! Actually... for the number 10 prompt "Dancing" where you mention the Flightsong? It's eerily similar to a scene from Nine Rings that I haven't posted yet. Even to the point of using the same name for the everyone-singing-while-flying. *fandom telepathy strikes again!* I love people who can see both sides of a situation. XP Thanks. *applies salve*

So true! Omission of details isn't the same as telling falsehoods.

ante_luce February 17 2009, 17:19:18 UTC

Yay telepathy! Flightsong just seemed to flow (not to mention it sounded pretty ;P ).

YOu do have a way with images and emotions. I envy that.

And, now I wander into YMMV territory, because mine just went off the map.

I come away from these with a bit of a bad taste in my mouth. I guess because it seems like everything is weighted to make the Seekers the "righteous" ones here...and a building implication that any Autobot who doesn't see that they had no choice is a jerk. That just doesn't sit well with me...but it's a personal thing.

ante_luce February 17 2009, 17:17:17 UTC

The bunny is very much a seeker bunny, and thus wants me to paint them in a flattering light -_-;; They're hardly innocent, I know, it being a war and all. Casualties occur, vendettas are created, underhanded tactics are used, but dear Primus I'm hoping the bunny gives it a break for a bit, because my brain is mush for this 'verse.

drharper February 17 2009, 17:26:19 UTC

*shrug*

Well, you did say earlier that it would be hard to make this "watertight". I guess that's what's tripping me up. You make it seem like most of the Seekers were forced/intimidated to join the Decepticons, but that doesn't quite seem to mesh with them being such overwhelmingly competent fighters/strategists that the only reason the Autobots held out as long as they did was because they were holding back.

Makes my inter cynic say "Yeeeeaaah, you had absolutely no choice but to go along with Megs."

No matter. This bunny might not be my cup-o-tea, but you've got tons of other bunnies I love. ;)

ante_luce February 17 2009, 17:30:36 UTC

(Yeah, gaping plothole right there, but you didn't hear me say it ^_^;; )

Glad you like the other bunnies :D (for that matter, I need to start work on those sometime soon)
