Okay, me. :) The name's Sami. I'm sixteen years old and from England (which is why many of the words in my stories will be spelt the British way). Also a total Transfan, devoted Bayformer Ratchet fangirl (oh, dear God, how I adore that medic...), history seeker, art freak, grammar/spelling obsessive and mod-Goth. I've been writing fanfiction since I was a kid without knowing it actually had a name, so finding this site was something of a miracle for me... now I'm hooked on it. My fandom of interest is mainly Transformers, which I became completely addicted to after seeing the Michael Bay movie, and I have four fanfictions within that field...

My Fanfiction

Transformers: Deux Claret

www.deuxclaret.piczo.com

Transformers: Deux Claret (deux being French for 'two', and claret meaning 'dark red'), a three-part story following the movieverse continuity, is the work that I'm currently focusing on most out of my fanfictions. It's mashed up with the Armada and Animated universes in some places - the main similarity to the former being the relationship between Starscream and Alexis, the latter of whom I introduced into the movieverse as a much shyer and darker girl than she was in Armada. It features various pairings, some original characters, the vast majority of the original canon characters, and a mixture of action, suspense, some (bad) humour and a lot of romance.

Basic Series Summary

Three other friends of mine and co-authors of a sort have stories which feature some of the same pairings, concepts and original characters as Deux Claret, and could be considered alternative universes to the storyline, although they don't follow the same continuity. So if you you're looking for some interesting Transformers fanfiction or like the pairings and characters used in Deux Claret, I recommend that you check out...

I would just like to take the opportunity to point out a few things about the characters in Deux Claret: firstly, Alexis Paxton is not my own original character, as some people believe her to be. She is a development of Hasbro's Alexis Pax from Transformers: Armada and is not my own creation (although any developments of her character do belong to me). This also goes for Rad White and Carlos Lopez. Also, Jade Rivers belongs to Icarian Angel Wings and is used with her full permission; Leiana Lopez, a character who will become more prominent in When We Dared the Dawn, belongs to Ninjalala, and is also used with full permission.

Rosa Lee "Rose" Connelly is my original character (yes, I actually own a character! :p) and requires permission to use elsewhere. Authors who currently have permission to use Rose in their own fictions are:

- Icarian Angel Wings
- Ninjalala
- weapon13WhiteFang
- ShadowDemon-Gengar
- ViolentBigGrl
- Strawberrytop007
- tlcoopi7

I am open to minor adjustments or exaggerations made on certain aspects of Rose's character, but please discuss with me beforehand. :)

I'd just like to take the opportunity to say thanks so much to everyone who has supported me on this storyline and kept reviewing for this long! In particular, thank you so much to all the people that have taken time to do fanart for it... you know who you are, and thanks so much. There will be an author's note at the bottom of relevant chapters to indicate where fanart should be - thank you! :D

All Deux Claret fanart can be found here. :)

Plans:

I'm going to be working on a piece of original fiction once Deux Claret and Hourglass are completed, but I have no doubt that I'll have the urge to produce and all-new fanfiction once Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen comes out. Keep your eyes open in 2009, just in case! :)

Current Top Quotes:

- "Greetings, Almighty Megatron! Permission to sexually assault Blackout, sir!" - Cassidy
(Just Dealing With It - ShadowDemon-Gengar)

- "I just feel so forgiven by you, Ironhide, I’m almost going lovesick. I swear to Primus, I’m ready to just drop everything and just envelope myself in your forgiveness. Considering you’re just a forgiving guy.” - Starscream
(Who Knew - Crooked)

“You know, sometimes I wonder what life would be like if you’d been born with your morality programming intact. I imagine a beautiful world, with the sun shining every day and not a trace of vapor in the sky, where everyone joins hands and sings about how happy they are that they haven’t got to watch their every step for fear of it being recorded and exploited by some sunshine-yellow menace with absurd fins on either side of his head.” - Ratchet to Sunstreaker
(Inherit the Future - Totally Tampons)

“I understand... you're pissed that they took Ginger away. That’s cool. But can you be pissed off in that Hummer car you turn into? It’s less paperwork for me that way.” - Simmons to Ratchet
(Roads to Neverending Light - Icarian Angel Wings)

"We're used to this. Ratchet gets pissed because everyone does stupid shit and gets hurt. Everybody loves doing the stupid shit, thus pissing said medic off. It's a vicious cycle that never ends. I'd compare it to the circle of life, but I think it will result in death pretty soon." - Sam
(The Time of Our Lives - ViolentBigGrl)

"He can't help it that he's a bitch... I mean, I would be one too, if I was shaped like a Dorito!" - Leiana on Starscream
(The Heroes Amongst The Stars - Strawberrytop007)
