My apologies for the lateness. I had a funeral on Friday.

Anyway, this past week was very prolific again. We have many great stories and some really fantastic one.

So, have fun reading.

Greeting dear readers,
this week we had again a whole huge bunch of fantastic stories. Some made me cry, some made me laugh and some made me remember the good things needed in life. I'll let you make your own decisions about them.
Please tell me if I forgot to add something. Windows died five times on me while I was compiling this, so it is a possibility.
Have fun reading.

Greetings dear readers,
as mmouse15 is ill I have taken her slot for the newsletter.
Anyway, there were dozens on really fantastic stories this week. Some of them even made me speechless, but I'll let you make up your own mind about which stories were the best.
Have fun reading.

I'm dreadfully behind on the meta issues y'all and I apologize. 

In other news I am looking to fill two editor slots: 1 art editor to share the art issues with n_f_w and a meta editor to take over the meta issues.  I will be going on a LJ hiatus in April due to real life needs.  I will still retain maintainership over the newsletter, and after April will be available as a back up editor for any of the editions.  Email me at ravynstone.abbey@gmail.com or comment if interested.

So this is a marker post and I'll add in the links as I have time.

Posting a little early...I have insomnia. As always, please let me know if there's any corrections, or if you have an art tip - I'll add them to the watcher list on DA. Also, I gave the IDW contest entries their own category again this week.

So, anyone want to help me do the art issue? It's a lot of fun, and you get to know the artists' styles very well. I really enjoy putting it all together...I just wanted a bit more time to draw my own projects. If you're interested, email ravynstone.abbey@gmail.com or you can leave a comment here.

This is a place holder for the Friday edition. I'll have it up tonight or first thing Monday. Apologies, y'all.

Editor's Note

We haven't heard from delilahdraken, so I'm throwing up the newsletter. I apologize, I put it together in 3 hours. So, no funny comments, no spazzing, just links. And you can really tell who didn't have headers. I didn't click on everything to check it. Sorry, everyone. I'll be back in form for next week's newsletter. Please enjoy (and use this opportunity to spazz in the comments and fill in my blanks!). Also, anyone who posts only to FFN, I didn't grab those links (that's another hour). I'll put them in next week's newsletter. Sorry for any inconveniences!

( And everyone thank the best-beloved husband that cooked supper and bathed kids so I could put this up! )

The Cybertronian is in need of a second art editor to alternate with n_f_w. 

Responsibilities will include: gathering links from the LJ watch list and the dA watch list and compiling the links into a formatted post, with the template being provided.  Posts should ideally be done by midnight local time or a marker post posted since real life does have a nasty habit of getting in the way of fun Internet times.

Estimated time spent: 10-15 minutes daily collecting links, 1-2 hours weekly to compile the post. [n_f_w, feel free to tell me if the estimate is wrong]

Please email me @ ravynstone.abbey@gmail.com or comment in the post.

So much fantastic art, as always. There were several pics I passed up on DA this week, but I tend not to feature art drawn by someone other than the person posting the art.

Please let me know if I missed something, etc. Enjoy!

It's been a busy week for the writers! I love it! I also want to point out a new community here for nominating and voting on the best of Transformer fanfiction on a monthly basis. The link leads to the rules. Check it out! We get to start March 1st *rubs hands in glee*.
And just a comment. The plot bunnies are breeding like...well, bunnies. There are a lot of them this week! Go look!

( 135 links this week. I'm telling y'all, the writers were prolific! )

So, here it is. This week's number of the fiction edition. And I even got it out before midnight here in Germany. Wow.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy reading this week's stories. There are some real jewels among them.


Have fun,

Welcome to the late #52! I've done some minor tweaking, by removing the issue # tags, since they were only used for one issue, and were cluttering up the tags sidebar. Also, some changes in this template, with an awards heading with the opening of tf_drabble and a new fic awards comm: tf_fic_noms . Check out the newsletter's del.icio.us account which is slowly being added to from my collection of TF links of interest. Feel free to add it to your network and also post links by tagging posts of interest for:the.cybertronian.
