sunshine_challenge and, toward that end, this is my first post: Prompt #1: Fannish Housecleaning:
Hello and welcome to my journal. It hasn't gotten a lot of use for the last decade or so but I'm trying to get back in the swing of fannish things.
This journal was, originally, my Livejournal which I created in order for me to post stories and stuff that I don't want appearing in my regular journal and stuff like that. My "regular journal" has since been deleted, I think. These days, I also have a blog over on Wordpress (link in the sidebar) where I mostly blog about my efforts in original fiction writing.
Here on DW, I'm hoping to get back into writing fanfics. I have an AO3 account that I have, for various reasons (including drifting away from fandom for over a decade), never actually posted a fic to. I'd like to change that.
I write mostly Transformers fanfic, set in my own home-brewed fan-universe that draws heavily on the original US cartoon from the 1980s, but also includes elements from G1 Transformers' sister shows GI Joe: Real American Hero, Jem and the Holograms, as well as the original 1980s comics for GI Joe and Transformers as well as any other shiny bits of canon I think might make a good fit. I've also written fics for GI Joe: Real American Hero, GI Joe: Sigma Six, Star Wars, Jem and the Holograms, and X-Men: Age of Apocalypse.
I've recently (as in the last couple months) finally gotten around to reading the IDW Transformers comics -- which has played a big part in rekindling my interest in Transformers and, from there, in writing fanfic again.
In terms of original fiction, I have three current universes: one about third-shift vampire hunters, one set in a world where a meteor strike started a nuclear war in 1983, and one set in a universe where superheros and their assorted tropes and cliches, are real.
My username comes from a quote from Starscream in the US Generation 2 Transformers comics (issue #7): He's telling me that once his new army is fully mobilized, my services will no longer be required. And given my past record of treachery, I doubt that means a pension and a sign that says 'Dunmurderin!' Something about the word 'dunmurderin' cracked me up.
Looking forward to meeting new folks and clearing out some of my mental cobwebs. Feel free to have a look about the place and drop a comment.
Friending Policy: Friend me, I'll likely friend you back.

Date: 2019-07-02 06:40 pm (UTC)Since I've finally gotten around to reading the IDW comics, I've discovered that I really do like a well-written canonical Starscream. The version of him that showed up in Transformers: Robots in Disguise and Till All Are One is like, *chef's kiss*. He's definitely moved into "You magnificent bastard, I read your book!" territory.

POTENTIAL SPOILERS!
Date: 2019-07-02 11:29 pm (UTC)I mean, as a Combaticon fan, I should probably be madder about the ways Starscream screws them over in the IDW books but well, a) Starscream screws over Combaticons is pretty much a universal law and b) he does it just so damn well!
Also, Blast Off/Onslaught...*wibble*
