Alright, as some of you know I'm a sucker for rare pairs because they're more fun to explore and figure out what works for them. This collection will consist of, you guessed it, any rare pair you and I can come up with. Find the rarest (virtually non-existent) pairing of each continuity and you will get my utmost respect until the day I die.
The way I calculate a rare pairing is by universe. For instance, TFA Shockwave/Bumblebee is not a rare pair because that has become common among the Animated fandom from what I've seen. TFP Shockwave/Bumblebee, however, is a rare pairing. You see how I judge this? If most of its fics come from one author (i.e. I'm the crazy TFP Megatron/Arcee fan that's been spamming that tag) or the pairing is mostly a side glance in other fics, it is still considered a rare pairing.
Now then about requests, I will take any requests WITHIN these continuities:
Prime
RID
Movieverse (Changed from Bayverse as Knightverse is now included)
Animated
The reason only these four are being used is because I know them the best so I can make pretty good referencing, body language, etc. among the characters. I won't do the other continuities because since I'm not as familiar with them, I fear I may screw them up and make the fic into a disaster. Personal stuff, nothing against the other shows/comics/etc.
Request Rules:
1. Send me the pairing you believe is a rare pair and you can either give me details of how you want it or let me decide which direction to go in.
2. Any rating is accepted
3. No demanding pedophilia, necrophilia, or rape (there will be some mentions of all three of these somewhere in my own fics to get certain points across but they won't be very common). Please ask first about this and I will figure something out with you. If you are unsure if your ship is considered pedophiliac, I will determine if it is.
4. No humanformers, only holoforms (human-sized versions of themselves) are allowed for human/Transformer fics or you can request them doing something in robot or vehicle mode to the human, I don't have any problems with that.
5. I can deny your request and/or ignore you via bad behavior towards me, insulting others' requests as well as others themselves, acting very immature overall, or constantly wishing for very dark themes like suicide/murder secretly directed at another person or implied to represent your mental state. I understand a few dark themes here and there for comfort and characterization but if you are bringing a pairing that has multiple entries towards being completely dark then I will not work with you. Take Welcome to Hell as an example of how to avoid this.
6. In regards to the rule above, you can also send opinions on other pairings someone else had me do or ones that I brought to the surface briefly. I can take your opinions and convert changes upon said pairings in future fics with your permission. Remember, everybody has a right to criticize and critique but no shaming, using inappropriate mannerisms, and be at least reasonable so I can work with you/talk with you.
7. And lastly, make sure your requests do not stray from the main objective of the rare pairings. For example, you request for TFA Ultra Magnus/Megatron but then you suddenly wish to add tons of other characters and wish for me to address those other characters' problems, relationship status, and so on. I've had that happen before and it gets annoying. I mean, I'll put in a few extras maybe for certain purposes but I'm not going out of my way to add extreme amounts of detail to them because they are not the focus of the fic.
That's it! I do have a chart of rare pairings for those four continuities (and yes, Prime and RID are separate because I don't really see RID as a sequel to Prime). If you can come up with a pair I do not have, I will add it to my personal list to remember it.
Hope you enjoy the fics coming up and see you later!
