Hello to everyone. I hope that by taking the time to introduce myself and talk about the idea, I would not only continue to hype myself up but begin to get you all excited as well. Anyways, my name is Grey and I am not a new writer to fanfic. In fact, I did a little writing before on an earlier work. But, due to immaturity and the amount of time, the work consumed I never got around to finishing it. I am hoping something like this doesn't happen again in this new novel.

After conferring with friends and family I found that I was not the only one as thrilled and intrigued at the new Venom movie. In fact, most people I've talked to completely love it. I have also been a longtime fan of Transformers, more recently Prime. For some reason while leaving the Venom movie, for the third time, I thought what an idea it would be if Jack was the host of Venom. How that would play out in the TFP universe and the side effects it might cause. Now, I haven't come up with how exactly Jack and Venom would come into contact and whether they are bonded before or after the meeting of Arcee. I really haven't thought about anything other than the basic idea of the story, but the more I think the more I want to get this idea out there for others to think about. I am toying with the idea of a Jack and Arcee pairing, this being my favorite. I love the dialog that can be stemmed from this idea. I am also toying with a more realist Miko, less reckless is what I mean. I hate the idea that someone is that oblivious to the gravity of any situation. Maybe it takes time to learn this, just maybe. I am also wanting to form a close relationship between the host and symbiote. This connection is seen greatly in the movie, as well as the compatibility of the host to symbiote. Venom has to have a reason to keep Jack around. 4000-6000hz is still deadly as well as oxygen to the symbiotes. I want to find a way to include Drake and Riot however I am unsure at this time.

I am in the market for a co-writer, I have sent the request out to a few of you, but I would like to open it to all. My writing style, as I have heard, is unique. And for this work, in particular, I would like to simplify it not only for me but for you all. I would like for everyone reading to know that direct dialog will not be set in quotations rather in a broken script form. By this I mean:

The boy jack yelled to his mom,

-What's for dinner

His mother swiftly replied,

-You can have anything you want.

Not only will this style be easier for me to write, but I also hope that it will be equally as easy to read. Special character text, such as but not limited to, Venoms internal dialog, mental conversation, and or Venoms speaking voice. Maybe set in italics, BOLDED, or both. Again, this is a simple thing to format however I hope it makes it easier to read.

I invite all who have opinions or comments, or ideas to message me personally. Chapter length will vary, and I will leave it up to you by means of comments to help me decide. The choices are as follows:

-Longer chapters (8-10k words), shorter post time (probably once every two weeks)

-Short chapters (2-4k words), faster post time (once to twice a week)

Both choice detail similar output on content, however, they feel vastly different. There will be some key chapters that I will withhold for my own amusement.

As well as a co-author, I am also in need of a beta reader. Someone willing to proofread my crappy writing and fix any major plot or continuity errors. If you commit to the task you will be used extensively. I promise you that. Files will be sent out a day before posting in a word format, proofreading is all I need. More eyes will improve the quality of work greatly. I am committed to sending out quality work to all of you. Depending upon the feedback of you all, I will begin writing concept chapters to find a potential start for the story.

Lastly, I want to say that my will to write is influenced by you all. Comments, follows, favorites. All our motivation to write longer and better. I do write for myself, yes. The opportunity to be a god for a day and control every aspect of an idea is amazing. I will say with that, there will be a choice I make or line I write that you all may not like or agree with. I will try to address any concerns or ideas left for me after each chapter or through PM messages, either work for me. Know this, you all are what make writing possible for all of us. The reason I write is to entertain. Stay entertained and I'll stay writing.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE. READ THIS AND COMMENT. It will be monumentally helpful. I want to see if this idea is something that people will read. That is very important to me. As always, I do not own the rights to Venom or Transformers Prime. They are the property of Sony and Hasbro respectively. I am not profiting from this story in any way as to stay in conjunction with international copyright laws. This fanfic is the work of fiction and none of the events portrayed within are real. I claim ownership of plot and plot alone.

Yours truly,

GREY
