Sorry if this is such a weird message and the poor English but I just wanted to say I really wanted to say how much I love your Prime Smokescreen AU fics! I found your work around a month ago and read up to your last update on the new protocol [still kind of reading the current update]. Sideswipe is my favorite within the stories :3 I just really love the way he’s writing here due to how it's almost exactly how he’s in my head >w< Also seeing Megatron back is something i didn’t expect but was really happy weirdly lolz.
Really inspired me to continue to write my fic.. Well once i finish the reading the new chapter X3
Thank you for making such an awesome fic 🙇♂️💙
Ahhhhhhhh, thank youuuuuu!
It's funny b/c originally I hadn't planned to bring in any of the RiD characters. I knew I wasn't likely to cover the events of RiD given that, 1) it's all set on Cybertron and 2) I wouldn't know how to make that work.
But then I was needing more characters for them to interact with (admittedly I couldn't think of many things for them to DO w/ the main crew) and didn't want to make up OCs or try to figure out which pre-existing characters I should use/how to write them. And then I was like 'hey, it's my fic, I can do what I want Why NOT drag in Strongarm and Sideswipe?'
And then Sideswipe just stole the show apparently haha. He's a lot of fun to write. He's just, a troubled, lonely kid desperate for attention, for someone to not abandon him.
Luckily, Smokescreen and Bee are right there :D
Meanwhile, on the flip side, Megatron coming back IS something I've had in the plans since basically the beginning. For reasons that shall become apparent in the next few chapters. So you can look forward to that!
Good luck on your fic! Sending you writing vibes!
(and thank you, once again <3 <3 <3 )
