FanFiction.Net - unleash your imagination| Nightwind |
Author has written 23 stories for Transformers/Beast Wars, and Knight Rider. Rabid Transformers fan...and, yes, an ex-English teacher and official Snotty and Sanctimonious Grammar Nazi! In other words, your worst nightmare. :) Not much else to say, no. Didn't think I'd still be a TF fan and/or a fanfic writer once I hit the age of 40. But since that milestone was reached, as of this writing, 3.5 years ago, I guess I'm stuck with my particular brand of weirdness forever. Yippee. For those who might be interested, I've got other stories that I wrote with my roommate/best friend Frostbite. One of them is epically huge, even. They can be found under the user name NightwindandFrostbite. The stories under that account are all of the "slash" variety, though, so if that scares you, do yourself a favor and don't go there. Or, alternatively, do go there (or read the "slash" fics on this account) and flame me with as much incoherent vim and vigor as you can possibly manage. By doing so, you give me my recommended daily allowance of amusement. I need all the amusement I can get, you see. Note two things: 1) I generally only post complete stories. Therefore, you won't see stories appearing constantly. I prefer quality over quantity, and I edit/rewrite obsessively. Nothing is "published" until I consider it "good enough," and my standards for "good enough" are pretty darn high, as I am my own worst critic. So, if you Author Alert me, bear that in mind. All that said...I've gone against the grain and am posting a Barricade-centric Transformers movie fic called "The Path of Least Resistance" as I write it, which is a scary prospect for me. 2) I'm notoriously bad at responding to reviews -- Almost as notoriously bad as I am at replying to email that requires much more than a three- or four-sentence response -- but if you leave me a review that is coherent and thoughtful, whether positive or negative, you might just hear back from me. Whether or not that is a good thing...is entirely something for you to decide. (That said...Yeesh, better get crackin' on responding to reviews of "Redemption"... o_O ) However, I do appreciate feedback as much as the next attention-whoring fanfic writer. So consider this a global "thank you" directed toward anyone who ever has or ever will leave a comment on one of my stories. I do honestly thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to offer up your thoughts and comments; I just don't always have time to say so directly, unfortunately. | |||||||||||

Tower reviewsG1 A li'l bit ago, a friend posted a fic challenge in which she gave lines to be used in story. Single sentences. One of the ones on her list screamed Fireflight at me, so here he is.

Hug reviewsG1 Jazz needs a hug, but Prowl's feeling uncooperative. Not really what I'd call a 'fic' because it's too short, but I think it's fun. Also 'slash.'
