I must say that I've been pleasantly surprised by this story. When I first found it on FF.net the chapter titles scared me a little. I have yet to find a fan fiction written in first person which has been enjoyable, but you already had a few chapters up and I really like Bluestreak so I took the chance and read the first one. At that point I was hooked.
Your character development is wonderful and each chapter has its own distinct feel but still works so well together. The concept for this story is also quite original and I can't wait to see how everyone handles it. I'm also amazed that you are keeping up with the daily updates; it just gives me something to look forward to every morning. :)
Thanks for commenting! I'm glad you're enjoying the story. I agree - first person is far from easy to do well, and I've not quite dared try it with a Cybertronian yet. For this story though, a single viewpoint character wasn't going to be enough and some elements were too intense to get away with a very generalised third person, so I went with serial, close-in, third-person viewpoints. I'm very pleased that you feel it's worked :)
I'll happily admit I'm cheating when it comes to the daily updates. I prefer to finish stories and edit them before posting anything, so daily posts are just a way to stop myself overwhelming folks with a 50k novelette in one go (!)
Thanks again for leaving a comment - it's much appreciated.
Lovin' badass Bumblebee here - sensitive enough to watch out for Bluestreak, and managing poor Jazz when he wakes up. Jittery indeed, yeouch. And still feeling guilty and not feeling that personal connection with Prowl & Jazz, ack - poor guy, more distressing because it's not as distressing as it probably should be. Even so, none of them pulled any punches when it came to getting the two of them out of there and keeping them alive, which is pretty amazing. And whew. At least they're rescued - now on to the rest of the fallout!
