This little pile is where I throw all the Transformer stories that I manage to finish. The stories I write are set specifically in the
comics or cartoon (G1 + Beast Wars; so far Beast Machines hasn't been an isssue either way) universes. Though I regard the two continuities as separate and utterly irreconciliable, some of the stories are vague and short enough that they could fit in either one.
I try not to alter anything canon; the only real changes I make are allowing a few characters that were killed in the Generation 2 comics to still be alive, and even those changes are of the sort that can be explained without "undoing" any events shown in the comics.
If any backstory's necessary to understand what's going on, I generally throw it in before the story, so don't worry if you're not 100% up to speed on your Transformers history.
I welcome comments and especially
constructive critcism; drop me a line if you have either one.
