THE ANTHOLOGY IS NOW ACCEPTING SUBMISSIONS

In case anyone isn’t already aware, the Transformers cinematic universe is officially over, with the Bumblebee spin-off in December being the last we’ll see of this timeline. While this news may have come as a great relief to some, there are still fans that are saddened by this development, and will mourn the loss of our favorite characters and all their unfulfilled potential. This digital anthology would be by those fans, for those fans, to celebrate and share in what we loved about these movies, and their universe. The cover is still a work in progress, but Shards of the Allspark is ready to start officially accepting artists and writers to contribute, with both new and old work!

FAQ:

What kind of submissions are you taking? Fanart and fanfiction, all centered around the cinematic universe.

Are there limits on how many things I can submit? At the moment, no. We will take as much content as we can comfortably fit, without putting too much of an emphasis on one contributor.

Are there limits on WHAT I can submit? Yes. Specifically, explicit sex scenes, graphic descriptions of—specifically human—gore, and other mature themes like drugs and abuse that are explicitly shown or described in detail, won’t be allowed in this anthology. Foul language, however, is allowed. If you plan on doing something but are uncertain whether or not it will be allowed in the book, just ask us and we will let you know!

Will I be credited for my work? Of course! All submissions will be credited with their contributor’s name or online handle, whichever they prefer.

Will I have to pay for anything? Nope! This is a free digital pdf that will be made publicly available once the book has been completed.

When are submissions due? There are different due dates for different things, read below for those details. In the end though, we plan on the anthology being finished in time for the last movie in December.

If this sounds like something you would like to be a part of, continue reading for the guidelines on art and writing, where to send submissions, and the deadline for them. And be sure to reblog this post and help us spread the word!

A Tyran Anthology

In case anyone isn’t already aware, the Transformers cinematic universe is officially over, with the Bumblebee spin-off in December being the last we’ll see of this timeline. While this news may have come as a great relief to some, there are still fans that are saddened by this development, and will mourn the loss of our favorite characters and all their unfulfilled potential. This digital anthology would be by those fans, for those fans, to celebrate and share in what we loved about these movies, and their universe.

We’re currently gauging fandom interest, and looking for artists AND writers to contribute to the book!

If you are a fan of the Transformers movies and would be interested in seeing this anthology come to fruition, like this post and share it so others can see! And if you think contributing is something you would be interested in, send an ask! There’s no obligation tied to doing so. These are purely for gathering numbers and seeing how much interest there is, and won’t be published.

This is all in the early planning stages—including development of this blog—so if you have any questions or comments regarding what you would like to see out of this work, send them in. We would love to hear from you. (:

Savant and his twin have been hiding out in the crawlspace between the ground and Drift’s undercarriage since Foxtrot had a panic attack earlier in the day, the two of them using their creator as a cover to the construction of an underground hideaway just big enough for them.  Occasionally a hand or a head will peek out from the hole to shovel dirt or make sure Drift is still there, disappearing quickly with a peep and brief pulse from their fields. Progress has been slow but the task at least keeps Foxtrot distracted, working through the aftermath without needing to be held. Even if he still needs to feel his Creo’s presence, its a step forward. 

Savant on the other hand is far more perceptive to the strain wavering in Drift’s field, shuffling out from under his creator’s alt mode and speaking softly  “Is everything ok up here?”

He is unusually slow to respond; hearing his creation’s meek voice, understanding his question, but being unable to answer Savant’s query.

Because, in truth, everything is not okay. There’s a strain on his mind, an overbearing weight on his spirit, and it’s a weight that he has always carried with him. How well he can carry it, though, is never a constant. Some days, he can manage it, other days it’s as if it weren’t even there. He’s free, he’s weightless, he’s happy.

But today, it’s crushing.

And he doesn’t know how he could ever explain this to his creation, in a way that he would be able to understand. And even if he could... he doesn’t want him to know that his creator isn’t as strong as he thinks.

In lieu of an explanation, Drift’s passive field flares briefly with a warm wave of assurance. If anything, giving his creation the knowledge that, whatever it is that is plaguing his Creo, it’s not him. He shouldn’t worry. Drift doesn’t want him to.

[warriordiscipline]

He’s been sitting in alt mode for nearing a day now, occupying the same shaded spot behind the garage, without a hint of movement. Even the destructive hatchlings crawling over him and wrestling on his hood for a good minute hadn’t been enough to provoke the mech into moving. And it doesn’t appear that’s going to change soon.

[warriordiscipline]

Okay so... official now. I’m going to be discontinuing all my previous threads in order to take a new step forward this year. I didn’t hear anything from anyone objecting to it, so if this is you’re first time hearing this, I’m sorry for disappointing you. ; ;

Be on the lookout for some memes or an open starter later. Maybe look over my rules again if you haven’t already, or feel you need a refresher. And thanks to all of you for sticking around after my little break. ♥

[warriordiscipline]

So, question...

How much would you guys hate me if I were to do something like... start fresh. By that, I don’t mean abandon the relationships I’ve formed already with your muses (I love what we have too much to just leave all that behind! ;A;) , but like, start fresh on threads... Abandon the old inactive threads, basically.

Because part of what’s keeping me from returning I feel is all the catching up I would need to do with threads and asks, and I don’t know... I feel like it would be for the best just to start anew with that, with new threads and interactions.

If you’re really attached to something we had though, let me know and we can talk about it. But at the moment, this is still what I feel would be for the best. But I don’t know. Give me your thoughts if you’d like, and we’ll see what we can think up together...

@agitatedwarmachine replied to your post: Aesthetic™: Drift literally growling when he…

Forever pissed they (at least in my DVD version) took the ‘fantastic’ out :(

Mun is also forever pissed that the DVD edit was not the same as the one she watched in the theaters, or online. >:(

To be honest, the best edit was the one done for the overseas audience. Not just in the dialogue that was given, but just how the scenes were cut and sequenced together. This is especially evident in the first scrapyard scenes, like where Hound and Drift were standing next to each other. In the overseas version it was all one smooth, seemless scene, but on the DVD it’s awkwardly spliced (AND SHOWN OUT OF ORDER TOO OMFG IT GRATES MY NERVES).

But yes… my boy deserves to keep what few lines he’s given, damnit.

[agitatedwarmachine]

They also put in the lines that don’t sync up to lips and I’m honestly convinced they didn’t bother trying to make the movie as smooth and nice as it could be.

Which is probably the biggest ‘screw you’.

[songbirdoftyran]

Hello, yes, are we complaining about TF5 and its editing? Because I am here for that.

If not, ignore me and carry on.

[warriordiscipline]

Little TF5 Editing Things(tm):

The indecisive letterboxing in the beginning of the movie

Bumblebee’s fingers clipping through his thighs

Messy jump-cuts

Alternative and/or missing dialogue depending on where you watched the movie

Mo-cap pajamas cogman randomly appearing in the castle

Incorrect DVD subtitles

The blatant lie when they made Optimus’ optics purple for the trailers, making audiences believe there would be way more Nemesis action than there actually was
