[SoF] Pining

Title: Pining
Universe: Sands of Fate
Characters: Starscream/Rodimus
Rating: K+
Description: Rodimus often goes home to visit his clan and Starscream tries very hard not to miss him.

For an anonymous prompter.

Starscream was a very busy scientist. Too busy, in fact, to waste time staring out the front window, searching for a sign of Rodimus’ return.

And yet, he found himself doing just that once more. Rodimus had promised to come back within a fortnight and today marked the upper end of his promise.

It was supposed to be a short visit with his clan, long enough to reassure his family he still functioned and to trade some supplies, along with delivering a note to Wrench on Starscream’s behalf. It should not have taken him very long.

Unless he was hurt. The sands were a dangerous place, and while Starscream trusted Rodimus’ abilities, it would not be beyond the realm of possibility for an errant duststorm or sand tornado or wandering, ravenous lithium-liger to waylay him.

No, Rodimus was fine.

March in Review

 March went by a lot quicker than I expected it to, and it was full of... a lot. 

In terms of the goals I started out with... let's see. 

Well, I didn't finish Despicable Me, but I'm on the last chapter, so getting over the mental hurdle enough to finally race toward the finish line and complete it soon is definitely a success in my book. It'll be nice to finally be able to cross a WIP off my list. 

Upon editing through Out of the Woods, I discovered I wasn't happy with it at all, so I sat down and read through it, and decided I needed to flesh out several things, fit in some better worldbuilding, and flesh out my characters for sure. So it's gone back to the drafting stage as I add new chapters and get more feedback, until it's something I can be proud of. 

I did, indeed, set up my SubscribeStar, but in the process of prepping it, I discovered it would not suit my needs. The interface is clunky, it's not designed for writers, it's going to require a lot more energy to create and maintain my posts, and the whole system does not function as well for a writer as it might an artist or musician. So it's back to the drawing board for me in terms of monthly support. 

I did not finish the outline for the first arc of Tethers, but I got some work done it, so let's consider that a partial win. Yay!

And I did host another Flash Fic Friday weekend, which was far more of a rousing success than the one I held in February so that was a complete success I plan on continuing every month as long as I have the time. Here's hoping!
