tl;dr: As of June 6, 2018, I am still alive. Yes, really. Sweet Dreams has not been abandoned. I am very sorry for the crazy long delay. The last chapter will be up as soon as I get a break in my school/work schedule. Thank you all for being so amazingly patient and understanding. I will do my very, very best to make the final chapter worth the wait!

Hello all! It's nice to meet you! The name's Red. As you can see, I am a long-standing, extremely unproductive member of the crazy awesome Transformers fandom. I also lurk in the Yuri!!! on Ice, Star Wars, and Harry Potter fandoms.

If you'd like to chat, feel free to drop me a line. I love talking about all things fandom, fanfic, and creative writing! For those looking for Transformers-related reblogs and writing, I can be found on Tumblr as redindisguise. YOI people are advised to seek me out on my personal blog, r-herring, since it has accidentally become a Victuuri appreciation blog (with the rare Star Wars or Harry Potter post). Oops. Sorry-not-sorry.

Current Fics:

Sweet Dreams: The prompt for this fic originally came from the Transformers Anonymous Kink Meme, but seeing as the prompt itself was so tame, I decided to go ahead and post it here. Updates on Sweet Dreams are generally very slow (read: glacial) due to my very full RL schedule. That being said, I will finish Sweet Dreams! That's a promise; I've no idea when, but it will happen! The story is all planned out and there is only one chapter left to go (yep, really). I just have to sit down and write the darn thing *sigh*. Feel free to poke me via PM, review, ask box, etc. if you'd like a progress update (or to check that I still have a pulse).

The Incomplete Creation: I actually have Part II complete (which is great, considering the fic is a three-parter). However, it really needs a red pen. The next chapter will be posted after I finish Sweet Dreams.

Future Projects:

I did have a dystopian post-war 'termination' mystery featuring Prowl and Starscream slated as my next major project but, to be honest, the fic was originally planned out in 2008-2009 and the YA dystopian craze has totally drained me of my interest in writing dystopian sci-fi for the time being. So, I'm not certain where I will go next. I am really liking the recent female additions to TF canon—Finally! Some strong female characters—so I'd sort of like to lift my unintentional femme ban and do something with them. Other than that, there is the vague possibility of a one-shot Sweet Dreams sequel/prequel (yeah, more weird time shifts), Skywarp's Infinite Playlist. Shhh...I didn't say that. It will most likely never happen.

Housekeeping:

In light of the Fanfiction.net mature-content purge, I intend to gradually edit and cross-post a refined version of Sweet Dreams to AO3. Then, when the final chapter of SDs is posted, I will link to the MA-rated version there. Honestly, it shouldn't be too graphic; SDs is non-sticky and my writing style tends toward emotion-focused, undetailed porn--but better safe than sorry.
