1,6, and 15 for Reforged?
Reblog if you are a fanfiction author and would like your readers to put one of your fic titles in your ask + questions about it
Fic Context: Reforged
1: What inspired you to write the fic this way?
Originally, for the fic overall, I was inspired by a post by... I think their handle was squid-in-disguise (but I can't find the original post anymore and the ship-centered blog I reblogged it from almost 2 years ago apparently deleted). When I finish and type the final promo post, I'm going to try and tag them if I can verify OP's handle.
It was a fairly general prompt for if Rodimus visited Caminus and was hailed as a deity. I definitely took it in a different direction than was originally asked for. The original idea had "Megatron had secretly been in love with Rodimus the entire time" and I didn't lean into that as much.
I also went way deeper into Camien religion and history than I think anyone asked for, because I think that's interesting.
I also got to draw parallels with the Original Thirteen (from both IDW and Aligned). Added three drops of my experience with Judaism, threw the whole thing in the blender, and BAM.
TL;DR: I saw a post with an idea and no one stopped me. This is how many of my fics happen.
The rest of the answers are under the cut for length
6: What makes this fic special or different from all your other fics?
We'll take away the sheer length, which far outstrips my other works.
This fic is special/different because:
It gets the most interaction and attention than all of my other fics combined. Something about it resonated with readers and this makes me very proud. I consider myself a very obscure fic author, so I was surprised that anyone even looked at it.
I started writing it on the tail-end of MegaRod being a popular-ish ship. I walked in right when content basically stopped being made (or at least incredibly slowed down to me and two or so other people that I know of). It was just a weird time to get into the ship, which is now almost a rarepair, but especially a weird time to drop a massive novel for it. This ties into the previous point: I'm surprised anyone looked at it.
It's my longest running writing project ever from starting to completion. (I've got up to chapter 98 drafted and only a few chapters after that left to go). Compare that to The Hollow Man, a novella that I slapped out in a month.
It's probably my most obvious example of "canon blending" right now. It's predominantly IDW1, but it's full of both subtle and blatant AU changes, on top of cannibalizing bits and pieces from other continuities, most noticeably Aligned.
It's the first piece I've had that got companion pieces, other little fics set in the same universe or bonus scenes.
It's the only fic of mine that my spouse threatens to write a crack/unhinged version of. For example: trials being based on the Great British Bake-Off
I'm sure there's more but that's what I've got atm.
15: What did you learn from writing this fic?
Novels are hard. Don't write them. I like to think I'm a one-shot and novella specialist, so 40k+ word beasties are not my normal wheelhouse. Some people are best at novels specifically! I do not think I am one of them! Now watch me put my foot in my mouth for Solar Flare.
If you do write one, give yourself a word count and/or a chapter cap. Do not accidentally write something longer than Lord of the Rings (the novel, not the trilogy, but maybe don't write something the length of a trilogy either).
Your brain will sometimes build in foreshadowing for you. Convenient and terrible all at once!
Characters will sometimes provide a story path that you did not plan for. Sometimes this is good! Sometimes this can get away from you and you're at a runaway word count again.
Outlines can be helpful to keep your plot from wandering too far off. I had a very rough outline for this fic of what I needed to hit and whenever something veered too far off, I had something tether it to rather than completely losing the thread. This doesn't work for everyone.

Yancy being totally flustered and ruined by Illinois calling him pet names is totally valid but you know whatâs better? The first time Yance feels comfortable enough and happy enough to be like âAww, Illi, ainât you a doll?â and Illinois stops dead because HE does the pet names and complimenting, HE does the charming. No one charms him. But his heart is Bang Bang Banging and Yancy has a 404 adventurer on his hands.

Notes (more notes at the end):Â finally got around to writing something for these two. i put the call out for prompts for yancy/illinois two and a half weeks ago and im finally writing about them. i jsut finally felt inspired and woo boy this got really soft i was dying writing them holding hands.Â
@wexeatxthexrude thank you so much for the prompt
edit: fixed the formatting issue, damn you tumblr why do you like to warp my fics. thanks to those that let me know.
Another adventure successfully and mostly safely completed, and anotherpriceless artefact soundly and more than mostly safely delivered to the museum.
This wasnât the first adventure Yancy had tagged along on, but this was thefirst time heâd come with Illinois to the museum to deliver what theyâdretrieved and Illinois felt stupid for worrying about whether Yancy was goingto like it or not. Of course he was going to like it, I mean thisplace had the most complete triceratops skeleton in the world! Okay⊠thatâsone of the reasons he liked it, didnât mean Yancy would. Illinoisforgot a lot of the time that not everyone found old fossils and relics andremains as interesting or cool as he did.
Luckily, Yancy had been enthralled as Illinois walked him around theexhibits and gave him his own exclusive, honorary tour, that was packed withway more information, and much more accurate information, than the museumâsofficial tour guides could ever offer, and hey he also heard this exclusivetour had the best looking guide.
And also luckily Yancy hadnât gotten bored or fed up of him rambling andgetting over-excited, heâd just listened to everything and smiled and been sosupportive Illinois hadnât felt this⊠it felt too early to say âlovedââŠadmired maybe⊠He hadnât felt this âunnameable positive emotion that made hischest feel warm and tightâ in a long time.
âHey you know, thereâs a cafe next to the lobby in here, and when itâsnice and hot like this they sell ice cream, you want to grab any? Mytreat?â He asked Yancy once heâd finally finished leading him around theexhibits.
âAww, Illy, ainât you a doll.â
Illinois froze.
What⊠just happened?
Did Yancy just⊠call him a pet name?
No, no, no, that was his job, he was meant to be the onefull of compliments and pet names. He charmed people, people didnâtcharm him.
People didnât⊠When was the last time anyone had charmed him?Illinois tried to think back and sure he knew when people were looking at himlike they wanted to do something to him, or wanted him to do something to them,but no one really flirted with him unless the occasional confident soul shot afew lines back at him as he winked and smiled.
But no one called him pet names, people didnât call him pet names, Yancyhadnât ever called him by a pet name before. Yancy was cute and softer, whileIllinois was stoic and cocky and tough, not that Yancy wasnât tough but⊠Theway Yancy had said thatâŠ
It was just a pet name, just one word, why the hell was he freaking out somuch? He felt the urge to put a hand on his chest to see if his heart reallywas having as much of a fit as he thought it was. His cheeks felt hot, had theyalways felt that hot? It was fairly warm in here but the museum did have airconditioning but it was the summer so-
Something flashed across his face.
There it was again.
It was Yancyâs hand.
âIll? I didnât break yous, did I?â Yancy was a lot closer than hehad been before, when did he move? Oh god Illinois prayed to whatever strangedeity might shine down on him that he hadnât just been standing here for whoknows how long staring into space.
âNo, no,â Illinois cringed and coughed as he heard his voice comeout almost squeaky. âNot at all darlinâ you just, uh, took me bysurprise with that is all.â
âWith what?â Yancy tilted his head to the side.
Okay maybe he could get away with pretending this never happened. âOh,nothing, donât worry about it, but I was saying wasnât I that I would-â
âItâs cause I called yous âdollâ ainât it?â Yancy was grinning butthere was an insecurity there as if he was afraid of being embarrassed if hewas wrong.
âI, uh,â Illinois shook his head. âAlright, you caught me. Ijust⊠didnât expect the pet name is all.â
âYous seemed to short circuit on me for a second there. How not used toit are you?â Yancy laughed and Illinois dug thumbs under his belt andbalanced back on his heels as he ducked his head (something he was starting tolearn was a nervous tick of his, not that he got nervous of course). âOh,real not used to it huh?â And Yancy knew what his body language meant andthat was something unusual but⊠sweet. Not many people had stuck around(whether by their own choice or⊠not their own choice) long enough to get toknow him this well.
âI suppose Iâm used to being the charmer but not the charmee,âIllinois joked, or at least tried to, it must have not worked considering theserious expression on Yancyâs face. âYance? Thatâs not⊠weird, right?How I reacted, I mean.â
Yancyâs eyes stayed serious but he smiled. âOh not at all, doll.I'ms just thinking what I can dos with this information.â And he smirked,Illinois hadnât even known Yancy knew how to smirk. âSo, what was thatyous were saying about getting us ice cream, sweetheart?â
Oh no. This was bad. This was very, very bad. Yancy had too much power.
He his face heating up had nothing to do with the room temperature thistime. His hand found itâs way up and tugged at the collar of his shirt.
âYeah,â He tried to shake the feelings off. âIâll lead theway.â
Yancy, shyly but slyly leaned into him as they walked and brushed theirhands together. Illinois almost jumped, but pushed his hand back into Yancy andhe saw how Yancyâs face lit up from the corner of his eye. Something like thiswas a big step for both of them, both touch-starved from their time alone, butYancy was also so used to people touching him because they were hurting him.Illinois was making sure that never happened again, and was trying his best notto mess things up.
Yancy smiled and held his hand and squeezed it and just looked so darn cutethat Illinois turned his head to the side and slid his hand over his stubbleand over his mouth.
âYous alright, Noisy?â
âIâm fine, Yancy.â Illinois sighed and dropped his hand, failingto fight the smile off his face.
âAlright,â Yancy cocked his head and grinned. âDoll.â
