I’m currently in the process of writing a fanfiction and my main plan is to post it on AO3, but I was considering to post it also on Wattpad and Tumblr. But I wasn’t sure if it against some kind of code, since I mentioned it to a friend of mine and they said that “it would look bad”, Is this true? Just curious.
Soooo I decided it might be fun to make another poll! This time it’s the top 2 characters with the most votes from each of the three polls I made before! I was actually surprised with some of the ones that won their polls, but I am now curious who will win in this.
Now who in this lineup is the best character in your opinion?
These are season 2-3 characters and those I couldn’t add in the last two polls.
I’m sorry if I didn’t include some it only allows six on the poll. I’m going to do a bonus poll for any other characters left out.
Sorry I wanted to do all of them but it would only let me do six on a poll, so just the season 1 bots. I’m gonna do a season 2-3 autobots, plus poll plus cliff-jumper as well so check that out.
Honestly in an all out fight no holding back, max power, no cheats. who would win the fight?
Season 1 Optimus prime
Megatron
Or
Predaking.
So I’m currently writing a book/fanfiction set in my own Transformers universe, which is basically a combination of Transformers Prime and Transformers One (though it leans closer to the aligned continuity/Transformers Prime). Now it is heavily inspired by Transformers Prime, but I’m taking a lot of creative liberties. Such as backstory, certain characters being present or not present. And shining the spotlight on some characters that didn’t show up in Transformers Prime or that I like personally.
The book's main character is Elita-1 and it focuses the story from her perspective for the most part.
I haven’t fully started writing yet, but I plan that the story I'm working on right now is going to focus on the time before the war, so pre-war Cybertron, and will probably end either sometime after the Ark leaves or when Elita first gets to Earth, which is quite some time after the Ark crashed into Earth. So basically if it were like the Transformers Prime show, it would be like season two.
The thing is though, I don’t know which site would be the best place to publish this on.
I’ve considered heavily doing Wattpad since I’m familiar with it. But I don’t know if other websites are better. I’ve also thought about doing AO3 but I’m not familiar with that website.
If you have any recommendations or tips, they would be greatly appreciated.
Also, I don’t know if this is relevant, but I am planning on making possible sequels focusing on different perspectives like Optimus, Megatron, and maybe Starscream.
Again, thank you for any help you can provide or tips.
So a bit of context:
I'm currently in the midst of writing a book/fanfiction based on my own version of Transformers, which is a mix of Transformers Prime and Transformers One (although it's closer to the aligned/ Transformers Prime continuity).
Not trying to spoil too much, but in this universe, Elita is forged as a seeker during the era of the Caste System, and she's basically blamed for a crime she didn't commit, gets arrested and banished from Vos (the city of seekers), and sent to be scraped or incinerated. Before she is though, she is saved by O-16 (Orion pax) and D-16, two low-class miner bots. In her arrest, she basically gets her wings damaged to the point that she can't transform or fly (not properly). So at that point, she's forced to lie low and pretend to be a miner bot like Orion and D.
Anyway, skipping on, the war begins, and in one of the first battles, Elita gets struck down and nearly dies; she is then restored with the power of the Forge of Solus Prime thanks to Alpha Trion. This means she's fixed and can transform again.
Fast forward again; Elita does not accompany Optimus on the Ark and remains on Cybertron with Ultra Magnus, up until Shockwave (Who also stayed behind to command the Decepticons after Megatron chased after Optimus) finally cornered the remaining Autobots. Ultra Magnus was forcefully saved by Elita, but Elita was captured by Shockwave and was stuck with him until Shockwave was discovered to be alive by Knockout and was brought to Earth. At some point, Elita escapes her cell on the Nemesis and finds the Autobots.
When Elita finally comes to Earth, she initially has a flying form, but I've been debating whether she should keep it or not. One point for it is that it is a tactical advantage for the Autobots since they are all landform bots (except maybe Optimus, I'm still debating on giving him beefed-up form). On the other hand though, it has limits; I think a flying form may be too noticeable for a good disguise. Although a landform would be more ingonito, you also lose that advantage, and a key part of her history.
*Note* Transformers before the war (or before Earth, rather) cannot change or acquire new vehicular modes on their own; they don't discover they can emulate other vehicles until they get to Earth. If you're a seeker/flyer your a flyer, if you're a land vehicle your a land vehicle, etc. Once they get to Earth, bots can choose whatever form they want, no matter their original function, but most stick to their original ones because it's familiar. During the war on Cybetron, Shockwave created a procedure to forcefully change a landbot into a flyer/ seeker, but it was dangerous and terribly painful; it is also permanent, so they can't change forms or gain a new vehicular form, and they are stuck as they are.
One solution I have thought of is maybe to use that period of her being nabbed by Shockwave to my advantage, say maybe he somehow made a way to make bots triple changers and subjected her to that experiment? Although I don't want to make her overpowered, it seems like a good solution to my problem. I mean, Shockwave did make the procedure to forcefully make a landbots into flyers, so it's not far-fetched to assume he would try to do both.
Overall, I'm not sure, so if you all have opinions or suggestions, please let me know.
