And here I break my promise of 25 per post, and only bring you 10.
Despite having disapeared off the face of the internet, all I have to bring you is this. Sadly, without all that free-time I had whilst working I haven't had near the same flow of inspiration. I've also been rather busy. I do apologize, but that's just how it's been.
1. Shortly after Bluestreak joins the Autobots he finds himself on the wrong end of a series of nasty teasing and pranks. Blue, still recovering from wounds both physical and mental, bottles himself up, unable to deal with it himself, but unwilling to go to someone for help. Jazz notices, and petitions Prime to be allowed to set the troublemakers straight. Prime denies it, saying that it's already being taken care of, but not by him.
During their next recharge cycle, Sideswipe and Sunstreaker are taken on a trip through Bluestreak's nightmares.
2. Hound discovers the wonders of bubble wrap.
2a. He shows it to Mirage, who refuses to give in to baser pleasure.
3. Sideswipe bets Sunstreaker that the yellow frontliner can't go a week without losing his temper. In typical brotherly fashion, Sunstreaker sets out to prove him wrong. Cue the one of the most aggravating, screwed up weeks of the Darling Daffodils life (and some very confused bots left along the way).
4. GrimlockxBlurr (meeting of the misunderstood?)
5. SkyfirexSideswipe (I really really really incredibly want to see this because my brain insists it could work)
6. So after reading Jazzerella, my mind decided…
6a. Little Red Riding Cliffjumper.
6b. (Wheel)Jack and the beanstalk
6c. Sleeping Prowl (Sleeping Beauty)
6d. Sunstreaker and the bolt (Princess and the Pea)
7. "Nails on Chalkboard" is a very comforting sound to robots. Much like rocking movements and lullaby's to people.
8. It happens often in sparkling-fic where children and sparklings have positive, and gleeful reactions to Wheeljack's vocal indicators.
This is an entirely human reaction.
By contrast, what if sparklings didn't like Wheeljack at all due to the feature, and is astounded when the first time he meets a small human child they do like him?
9. There is a very short list of bots on the Ark who, as an absolute and unbendable rule, are never to be the subjects of pranks, mischievousness, projects of moral, ethical or sensible dubiousness, malicious double-talk, malicious anything, tricks, contracts, black mail, or shenanigans.
9a. Prowl is not one of these bots. He was, but lost those rights at one point.
(inner fangirl says relationships are taboo with this short list of bots- but I'm biased because I've been soaking in the PxJ comm. again)
9b. These bots all have one thing in common.
9c. It's a cult.
(participants so far include Shockwave, Perceptor, and Beachcomber. Feel free to add at will)
10. Ctrl+Alt+Dlt = Cybertronian Dead Baby Comedy?

Bluestreak is both frustrating and incredibly fun to write, depending on what I'm writing about of course. Once I'm into the swing of things the words really just flow which works fairly well for the resident chatterbox. I love writing him then because I don't have to worry half as much about what I'm saying and why because most people skip poor Blue's dialogue anwyays because it tends to get so long and unweildy. Which is unfortunate really because sometimes a really good writer can make those dialogue boxes quite interesting, and in one case I found, plot relevant. I wish I could do that, but I'm sadly not to that level yet.
The twins on the other hand I've always had trouble with. I've never really tried to write them into a story before but I can see it ending badly. We don't get along very well, you see, and I've always had trouble with jerk characters so I'm rather afraid to try. I suppose I should give it a shot at some point, but I'll definitely wait for the inspiration to strike.
But back to Blue- the trick with writing Bluestreak is to keep from repeating yourself. It seems like an easy solution to fill up the obligatory word count, but few things make dialogue more irritating than constant repetition. Try to avoid lots of sentences starting with "I mean" and "But realy" or any variant thereof. This is something of a way to try an run a sentance without actually running it, but can be equally as annoying. Rambling works well, and if you know how, you can even stay on topic for the most part. Also try to avoid run-on sentences unless poor Blue is stressed or worried. I've also seen the trick used that Blue talks more than average, but it doesn't get really out of hand unless he is, again, stressed and/or worried. It's all up to one's personal preference, and don't worry too much about it. Nobody's perfect. :)
