Off the Record; On the Tape

First things first: waking up to find half the planet celebrating around me - best start to the day ever. Every once in a while I wake up to some bit of news that makes me think I can feel the world change for the better around me. Very, very rarely, I think I'm not the only one.


( For something completely different... )
 

The upshot is that I see another damned Prowl and Jazz fic and I feel the need to write Armada and RiD Prowl (and then go catch up on Energon). However, the sight of yet another damned stupid plot consisting of 'LOOK! FEMMES!' got to me first. Instead, here is Armada Ironhide (exact same body type as the 'male' Dune Runner, twice his weight and strength, oppressed for reasons that have never included being a femme).

Something slightly different today.

Title: As It Should Be
Fandom: Halo, towards the end of Halo 3
Summary: 343 Guilty Spark is very clear on how things ought to proceed, especially at this point.

So. Still no IM of any kind and limited Internet, which makes me sad, as does the fact that Ireland appears to have no ginger ale worth drinking. (I mean really, is it too much to ask for something that actually tastes of ginger, as opposed to insipid… well, it doesn’t taste of anything, really. *sigh*) Also, we have assignments – a focus group to prepare, an essay due in ten days, and a test in the next Human Sexuality class. (And apparently reaction papers for the same due the week after. Whoo.) Also, NaNoWriMo draws near, and I only have vague plot ideas (Amazonian dryads? People who use magnet therapy to actually deactivate cursed objects when they steal them?) which are nevertheless clashing with the fanfics I’ve been picking at.

It doesn’t help that I wrote out a long list of things that post-RiD fic writers should consider, and now I want to write my own follow-up to see if I can get it right. (Long rant, summarised as ‘if you’re going to break the Decepticons out of prison, please to be considering what they’re supposed to do afterwards’.)

And back to Armada now. It hasn't been beta-ed as yet, sorry to say; feedback on the bits that make no sense is welcome as always.

And of course, feedback on the bits that do make sense are welcome, too.

Title: Sterner Stuff
Summary: A certain Minicon team goes AWOL, and Laserbeak is sent to fetch them in.
