Snowflake Challenge Day 12
In your own space, rec at least three fanworks that you think would make a good intro into XYZ fandom. Rec a fandom overview, a introductory picspam, stories that define and shape the fandom.
I'm not going to do this one exactly as it says in the challenge. What I'm going to do is rec the fics that I remember from when I first got into the fandom, the ones that stand out in my mind as shaping my introduction to it, selling me on my early favorite pairings or just sticking in my mind for whatever reason. And I've been around for like four years so these are going to be older fics, from 2008-2009 or earlier.
In no particular order:
1. Koi Lungfish's Lost in Transmission - G1, Starscream, gen/horror
2. nkfloofiepoof's Hate the Dark - G1, Optimus Prime/Starscream
3. wyvern girl's What No One Understands - G1, Optimus/Starscream (went down with transfictions.net, and I can't find a new link)
4. Carmilla DeWinter's Two Worlds Apart, Two Together and All Your Hidden Faces - G1, Optimus/Starscream
5. kyra_neko_rei's Infinities - G1, Starscream/everyone
6. Balrog Roike's The Darkness Within - G1, Skyfire/Starscream
7. anon's Secret Home Videos - from the old kink meme, G1, Skyfire/Starscream
8. The old kink meme in general
9. LStarrunner's To Be Sparked - G1, Skyfire/Omega Supreme
10. anon_decepticon's After Atlantis - G1, Wheeljack/Trailbreaker
And I have to mention art:
11. The Transformers threads on /y/ and TFG on /co/ for fanart. When I was new to the fandom, Transformers Friday on /cm/ was more of a thing, but it's dropped off to nothing lately - I don't think there even was one this month.
There were a lot of good fics on transfictions.net that I don't think ever got reposted after the site went down, but I want to mention a few of them. There was a Hound/Mirage fic called "Getting Into Character" and a Mirage-centric fic called "In Merciful Hands," both of which I saved on my computer but without making a note of who the authors were. I have vague recollections of several Prowl/Jazz fics I didn't save but wish I had - even though it's never been one of my absolute favorite pairings, I did read a lot of it when I was new to the fandom, and I attribute that to a couple of now-lost fics from transfictions.net that I enjoyed.
