hahahaha!! The ending made me laugh!! X3 Nice story and all of its 25 chapters!! :D

Same here. I'm glad it's finished and I'm not glad that it's finished. But it was an awsome fic anyway.

C.D.

Well...I'd been wondering what happened and when you were going to update with a new chapter. I swear I almost had a heart attack when I saw the notice in my email.

Sorry to say though, this chapter..it seemed rushed. I think you are right, I think you stated many other times that you were running out of ideas. It shows here, more than anywhere.

I'm glad they didn't end up together though but, that's just me. If I had any time or..patience to write, I might ask to do some sort of continuation or like, off side story that involved Shadowstar in some way *shrugs*

Anyway, all in all and regardless of anything, this story kicked major **!

YAY!

YESS!!

YAAY!!

THEY KISSED! Erm, I mean, she kissed him. XD YES I was totally hoping she would do that, even if it didn't really mean too much XD

Eh honestly, I think you ended it the best way that you could. After everything Shadowstar had done, and after all the other angles were used up. You exposed bits of Shadowstar's past, made it clear the key wasn't going to work on her, and explored all the different angles of her obsession with Prowl and trying to get that key.

In the end there wasn't much left to do, I don't think, except have everybody get fed up with her to the point where they didn't care anymore.

Shadowstar is unfortunately a person beyond help XD It's understandable in some ways, though at the same time it's a shame. However, she wouldn't be Shadowstar anymore if she decided she wanted to change.

I think I am the most impressed with Prowl. He stood up for her the longest and tried to help her the most, even though he was the one she tortured and harrassed so much, and even he gave up it in the end. But even then the Autobots did not entirely stoop down to Decepticon level, like they could have.

This one has definitely been a very enjoyable read and I'm glad I found it while TFA was at its prime, so to speak. The vividness of Shadowstar's character and cruelness, and how well you kept Prowl in character, had me shivering sometimes when I read all those chapters for the first time XD

I'm sad to hear that you're not gonna make a sequel, but I don't blame you. Especially since I think you probably used the best ideas for Shadowstar in this fic. I'm sad to see it end, but like I've said I know there wasn't much left to do and everything does have to end sometime.

Just know that I'll always be a big Shadowstar fan, one way or another. XD

And since I like drama in a story, and since you might not be making a sequel, I'll just say... my idea of what happened next is that she did get a full spark eventually, when she grabbed the piece of Prowl's spark as it left his body, and it merged with hers. You know, that idea you once mentioned to me XD

Also... one more thing. Eh, I don't know if this is really the right place to say this or whatever. I just want to say, I really hope that what happened in the flamer incident, as I'll call it, (you know what I mean, I think >.> ) hasn't... um how do I say it... I hope it hasn't made you look down on your OCs at all. Cuz you've created some wonderful OCs which I've really admired.

You know, when I first started hanging out around fanfiction here, and around DA, I was really inspired by your imagination, creativeness, and talent. And I still am. You really seemed free with your creativity and you just had fun. I really liked seeing that in you because it inspired me more and it was like looking at a bright, shining light at work. Um... okay maybe this sounds cheesy or embarrassing, but... to be honest I kind of idolized you for a while XD Maybe part of me still does in a way.

I guess I'm just saying that I hope that the flamer incident, as terrible as it was, didn't take that from you, at least I hope it didn't permanently. You sometimes seem a bit more cautious and reserved these days, and I definitely don't blame you. I guess I'm just saying that I really hope you'll continue as you have, despite what the loud-mouthed naysayers say.

Um anyway I'm sorry about that. Maybe I shouldn't have said anything at all, or maybe I shouldn't have said it here, at least.

But anyway, back to the fic itself. I've loved it, as you know. Thanks for writing it. Shadowstar is awesome and deserved the fate she got XD Okay I'm done now.

Sorry in advance if anything is said wrong in this review. I'm drugged up on DayQuil and NyQuil, and they do weird stuff to my head.

It's over? I suppose it's for the best then, since it really felt like you were getting bored with the story in your writing. There were a lot of missing words.

When I think vampire, I think personified sin, so I really don't pity Shadowstar at all. I don't know if you wanted me to see it this way, but Shadowstar feels like Prowl's pet sin that he has to exterminate. Though, that completely doesn't fit the Autobot=forgiveness=good Decepticon=murder=bad mindset, if Prowl does kill her. IDK, it's your story.

Ratchet was awesome.

hehe, take the spaces out. :D

If you do write a sequel to this fic I will be here and I'll be waiting.

C.D.

A!! Someone just KILL HER already! I'm LOVING this!~

DOH! They ALMOST kissed. Hehe

Yeah I guess in some ways it's like it did go from being one story into another, but that doesn't matter to me cuz I've really enjoyed it a lot. Then again since I really like Shadowstar a lot, and I'm a huge Prowl fan, maybe that's why the chapters that focused so much on them did not bother me in the least. XD

In many ways, I think I am glad that you finally had her get pinned down by Ratchet though, and allowed Prowl to find a flaw in her chain web. (Or did she allow that weakness on purpose for some reason? Eh just a random thought.) But anyway, I think I am glad that she got nabbed because, well, even though the way she's managed to get her power back and escape and stay hidden, and strike, was thrilling and entertaining for a while... I think it's reached the point where that sort of thing would get old if it kept up. Either that or it might have started to make Shadowstar look slightly Mary-Sueish in the way that she is more clever than anyone else or can always escape. XD

I think I can also safely say that I'm glad she wasn't able to get the key again in this chapter, especially since we all know it's not gonna work on her anyway.

Anyway I LOVE the part where Bee called her a bimbo in his mind. XD Hilarious.

I can't wait to see the next chapter, and I am also definitely looking forward to a sequel when you begin it. I do have one question though. Is anything--or can anything--be done for Prowl about those viruses that are laying dormant in his systems? Although I suppose nothing really needs to be done, so long as Shadowstar doesn't re-enable them.

Still, that means the key won't be able to help him anymore, at least in this story or in the sequel, if he gets hurt O_O

Anyway yeah, great chapter! Looking forward to more. :)

Oh man! C'mon!! We need some happy here!

Soo, I've been following Vertigo for a while now, I guess it's time I finally left a review - and I apologize for the anonymity.

I could really get into this fic for the first 15 or so chapters, but I gradually got more disinterested in it as more of Shadowstar's past was revealed. Not to say it's a bad thing.. just delivered poorly. The story or plot is shoved aside to make room for it, and it feels like the events are going in circles, focusing on solely Prowl and Shadowstar. Ratchet's appearences thus far in the past couple chapters gave off vibes that he was just sucked into the circle with the lovebirds.(I know they aren't official, but it's obvious in their thoughts)

I must add that I wouldn't call Shadowstar "psychotic", myself. Sadistic would be a far better description, but psychotic means... well, here's what it said on a dictionary: "a mental disorder characterized by symptoms, such as delusions or hallucinations, that indicate impaired contact with reality." She hasn't shown signs of hallucinations or any such mental disorders, as far as I know. I'm a nitpicker, sorry.

I have seen a bit of improvement in writing since the earlier chapters, though, I always applaud vocabulary expansion. :) With this review coming to an end, I have one final addition: Shadowstar is called a monster, but I'd love to see the statement proved. It would make her character more interesting and go against what I expected, if she had some real defining moments of where she stands.

Loved the Lassie part, and the "If you're happy and you know it" part.

I love how Prowl is the "Queen."

Great chapter! Update soon!

Wow that first part where Prowl had that dream about Ratchet being a vampire gave me the creeps. XD

I really liked the references to various Earth things, as I'll call it, throughout this chapter. Shadowstar thinking the lyrics from "If You're Happy and You Know it" and Ratchet thinking about Lassie references. XD They must have watched more TV than I thought, hehe

Poor Prowl, all tied up and unable to do anything. Hehe I think you did a good job establishing that they're not in love in this chapter since that seems to be what you want to do. But nevertheless... I still hope they will kiss at some point, even if they aren't gonna interface or fall in love or anything. I dunno, maybe it's ridiculous, but I'd just like to see it happen... maybe even if it's done during a moment of taunting, for Shadowstar's own sick pleasure or something XD Please at least think about having them kiss briefly somehow or other before the fic ends, hehe. Pretty Please? =D With sugar on top? XD

Can't wait to see what happens next. I'm sure Bee can withstand a bit of "punishment" should it come to that, but I hope she doesn't rough up Sari. O.o

BTW... is there any chance the key might somehow get contaminated or infected if Shadowstar gets it and tries to use it?

Awesome chapter, looking forward to the next chapter XD
