Description Mass Aerialbot upload WOOOO! !

Ahem. I mean sorry, not sorry. Although I do apologise that it's another art dump. I'll be returning to regular uploads now with more characters I've never drawn before. Just ah...time is an issue again.

Now I DID have another Silverbolt and Fireflight BUT they turned out even worse than these ones so they don't get included. There's another Skydive but it's not worth posting on it's own either.

That is all. -Vanishes-

Slag is offensive, in Britain. It’s basically their word for slut. Slag has a literal translation too though: melted down scrap metal. I think it fits for the angry triceratops. He was built from nothing into a valued Autobot, just like the other Dinobots

I’m glad to hear that. It started out just being about Bluestreak, but then the story just kind of snowballed. Now we’ve got seekers, Vehicons, a conspiracy, missing family members for both ‘Bots and ‘Cons, and Ironhide and Chromia; who I still don’t know what to do with. Oh well. It’ll all work out.

Oh yeah I knew that much but I don't think they should of had to change it. Nobody uses that as an insult, at least anymore. I've never heard it out loud. We all know what it's supposed to mean (as in melted slag) so why should someone get all sensitive about it? Either someone did complain or the creators had the foresight for those people.

That's the beauty of it I suppose. It usually happens when you don't exactly have the middle of a story planned out right? That's what's going on for me at least. As if the story is writing itself. I think having a crowd like that kind of makes there more reason to find an end to their Vehicon troubles. Like we care about these characters and the fact that you're merging sides and using non TFP characters also shows how big the problem is. It's also satisfying when we have those characters reunite with each other.

I understand why they complained, but I’m not changing it. Slag has been named Slag for over 35 years. Why mess with it now? Also, I remember for a while there was a controversy about Thundercracker’s name, but I don’t even understand that one. Sure his name is goofy, but it’s not offensive. 


That happens to me a lot, where a story will just write itself in my head with little effort until the actual writing process. It’s so cool when that happens, because chapters come out faster

Oh man! That! I saw the whole petition and everything! Even Thundercracker signed it himself. And Skywarp, and a few other TFs. It's probably still up there, being treated like a joke. Starhorse made a journal with a link to it. I remember the same person saying that even Acidstorm was offensive because of drugs and I think they said there was a 4.20 on the box somewhere? XDDD Ridiculous. 

Absolutely. I need more of that haha. I feel like it's commonplace to get stuck in the middle somewhere.

Yeah, I understand that there are offensive things in the world, but I mean come on! Thundercracker and Acid Storm? Some people just need to learn how to pick their battles. 


Getting stuck in the middle is very common with fanfics. I used to be better at pushing through that slump, but that was back when I would only allow myself to write one fic at a time. I can’t afford to do that now since there are so many fics people want to see. I can’t just drop everything to work on a less popular one, after all. Of course trend chasing is also bad for creativity, so I try to find a balance

I went back just to read all the comments and signatures, so vulgar! No one took her seriously thankfully, even if it is years old. Hasbro must have had a good laugh with that one hehe.

The middle is always the hardest part for me, which seems strange because wouldn't the initial idea come from the middle/climax of a fic? I guess not necessarily but still. I'm in awe over the fact that you can juggle so many in progress fics without forgetting details. Do you ever just dot point a plan for that reason? That's what I do and continually add to it when I get something new. It suits me because I'm taking my time with the fic and that allows more ideas to come through before I even get to writing the part. That has me thinking whether it's a good idea to plan for an extended period of time, because I feel like it's possible to get great pieces even if you don't. Everyone has their style I suppose.

What does dot point a plan mean? If you're asking how much I plan out my fics, well, it depends. Sometimes I map out every chapter. Sometimes I plan the first half and add to it as I go. Sometimes I don't plan anything and just see what happens. Sometimes I even improv based on reviewer suggestions like with "Point and Shoot" and "Fables of Cybertron". I used to plan better than I do now, but lately I don't have time for all that so I just write brief bullet points

Kawaiipiika In reply to MadnessJones [2020-01-11 22:26:06 +0000 UTC]

So what I usually do is just make points that are usually a sentence long about potential events that could happen or interactions between characters that take place and flesh them out. I put them in order and then work my chapters off of them. Did that make sense? It's just something I've always done. And that's fair enough! You seem pretty flexible with the way you write and I suppose you have to have that skill in the writing industry.

MadnessJones In reply to Kawaiipiika [2020-01-11 23:44:33 +0000 UTC]

Actually, your technique sounds very similar to mine. Short sentence plot points that are flexible. Yeah, I’ve found with fanfics that works best

Great! That was what was taught for essay writing so I mean it easily carries over into creative.

MadnessJones In reply to Kawaiipiika [2020-01-12 04:51:32 +0000 UTC]

Glad to hear it. Honestly I didn’t know that about essay writing. I was homeschooled so other than basic English classes everything I know about writing is self taught. Don’t get me wrong, my mom is brilliant, but she was worried more about my math brain than my literature skills because she knew I would just learn writing on my own. I learned the basics of writing from her, figured out more by myself, and then watched YouTube videos for finer points about writing techniques and tropes in media. So yeah, I’m not as book smart as I seem

Well you know what? I never would have guessed that. Just by talking to you, I can already tell that you are deeply knowledgable about all things literature and that you would know far more about anything than I do. I still find myself searching up the most basic things. As for math, well I was never any good at it, nor did I enjoy it, apart from when I get the answer right.

MadnessJones In reply to Kawaiipiika [2020-01-12 06:25:02 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I guess I’m average to slightly below average in math, but I don’t like it either. It’s funny because my mom is a numbers person who loves learning about historical dates and whatnot, while I never shut up about movie tropes and literary plot conventions. It makes for some very one-sides yet friendly conversations on both ends

We all have our interests and it’s even better when we get to talk about them, even though that person might not care so much haha. And I can totally relate to that with my own mum about all my geeky interests haha. She seems amazed over my TF figures and how they transform, it’s funny. She puts up with my shenanigans.

Thanks! Glad to hear it. They’re some of my favourite characters, and I find that these five just don’t get as much attention. I’m here to fix that.

Oh stop it you!

He’s the second picture? Do you not recognise him? -snerk- I originally had two drawings for each character but the Fireflight one didn’t work out so well so I left it out. There is one in the deviation though.

Ahhh! You’re threatening me with attention I don’t deserve. Truely though, thanks a million.

Nah it’s all good. I realise what you’re talking about though. I like both looks for him but I do have a preference for show accuracy. I’ll get around to drawing him with the mask eventually.
