[TRANNIES] The 2001 Trannies! (8/10)
Robert Jung
==========================================================================
PART VII: FANFICS
DIRGE: ...now, Thrust, are you going to STOP being such a dipstick?
THRUST: Y-y-yes...
DIRGE: Well, good. Then let's continue.
RAMJET: Yeah, it's time to hand out the Trannies for fanfics.
DIRGE: I always find fanfics interesting to read; I like seeing
what folks do with Transformers when they aren't hampered by
Hasbro's official dictates.
RAMJET: "Dictates"?
DIRGE: I meant, it's fun to see Transformers stuff that isn't
limited to official canon.
THRUST: You mean, like, what would've happened if I hadn't let you
and Ramjet beat me up back there?
DIRGE: Aw, c'mon, Thrust, even a fanfic has to be PLAUSIBLE...

4 "Ravage 3 Bodies Evolution", Tigermegatron/Deathy/Gigastorm
Ravage 3 Bodies Evolution. 'what am i doing here floating in space like
this?' Wow.
--Hooper_X
"Alignment", by Simon Furman. And it IS fanfic, btw. Furman his very own
self said so!
--Thylacine 2000
"Assassination" by Nicholos Caudillo. Some really excellent points of
insight in this one.
--Raksha
"A Special Touch" by Zobovor. "Guys were still jerks, no matter what
planet they were from." Heh heh.
--Bobbi Carothers
Headmasters: Crash - Hollow. By Neale Davidson Depth, quality, fight
scenes and an ending that makes you care.
--Divefire
"The Die Long Cast"- Merytneith. Each chapter stands alone as a great,
innovative origin story for some classic, yet often overlooked TF, and
they all subtly interconnect to create a masterpiece of the type of
character intricacies that make the TF mythos so infinitely endearing.
--Iacon
Know what? I haven't read a single new fanfic this year. Kill me.
--Daniel "Suspsy" Suh
DIRGE: Well, THAT'S an unexpected surprise.
RAMJET: No kiddin' -- either Transformers fanfics REALLY stunk this
year, or Tigermegatron is a literary genius.
THRUST: I don't know which idea is worse.
DIRGE: Hey, he won, so give him some props, guys.
THRUST: Yeah, it's not like we can blame this on hanging chads...

the moment.
--Finback
I really enjoyed the original Dude Winchester fanfic (the ones proceeding
that weren't so good), and of course TFG14VR submitted some funny stuff
this year as usual. But Brian Kilby's "Another Stan Bush Story" was
without a doubt the best.
--AlexJ33106
Anything by Brendocon.
--Starscreamer
"Fiftieth Funfic Anniversary Special!", TFG14VR. Mostly because I was in
it. :)
--Ryan "Darwinian Raod Kill" Hawe
"Best Laid Plans"-by Nightwind. What happens when Rachet and Wheeljack
decide to go on vacation. =D *lol* If you like those two, or if you just
need a good laugh, I highly recomend it.
--Stelartron
Les Miserables, MirrorVerse fic. I love Warpath in this fic, he's so
psychotically cute!
--Razorpack
RAMJET: Okay, at least THIS make sense.
THRUST: Yeah, I can definitely say that I was laughing myself silly
when I read "Ravage 3 Bodies Evolution."
DIRGE: Laughing at the writer doesn't count, Thrust.
THRUST: It doesn't?!

4 Dave Van Domelen
Dave Van Domelen. I read all of Dave's stuff, and while he didn't write
my pick for story of the year, he's been consistently good with his "Tales
of the Intermezzo"
Dave Van Domelen
Now a Dr., I believe
He taught me "senryu".
--Philip N. Zeman
I'll vote for Salamander (Aziraphale), since WARendfeld apparently didn't
write anything this year.
--Joona I Palaste
Finback. That lovable little Aussie.
--Windchaser/Cecilia
TFG14VR didn't do much this year, so I won't vote for him. Not that he
deserves the award, anyway. So there's only two obvious authors left to
pick from- Zobovor and Deathasaurs. A tough choice if there ever was one.
I'll choose Zobovor just for the sake of not turning this catergory into a
complete mockery.
--AlexJ33106
Rik Bakke!
--Jen One
Oy! I declare a four-way tie! Nightwind, Leximillian, Dart, and Scott
Kampa!! Ha!
--LCStarchaser
DIRGE: A lot of good choices there.
THRUST: Yeah, but it's weird how Dave Van Domelen got "best writer
of the year" when he doesn't have any fanfics listed for
"Best Fanfic of the Year."
RAMJET: Maybe everyone voted for Dave because of his toy reviews?
THRUST: Heyyyyyyyyyyyy...

The Corrosion of War Without End. There is no other fanific. There is only
Corrosion.
--Avias
Decoy is one I particularily like for two reasons. One, it's an
interesting exploration of a character who, IMHO, has a lot of potential
for such an extremely obscure guy with a pretty unoteworthy toy. And the
Megaplex -BW Megatron connection is a nice one. The other reaon why I like
it? I was going to write a similar fic myself. Dave, you beat me to it!
Damn your black heart!
--Rick R. Mortis
Andraxus 2, like Star Trek 2, endures as the very best of the genre.
--Raksha
Ravage Bodies 3 Evolution or something like that. And I'm voting since
Brian threatened he'd make me listen to the RFC version on an endless loop
if I didn't vote. Happy, Brian?
--David "Bluestreak7" Schulz
RAMJET: And winning for the third year in a row, "The Corrosion of
War Without End"!
THRUST: Nothing like high body count and epic battle scenes to win
the hearts of the fans!
DIRGE: I think the quality of the writing had SOMETHING to do with
it as well, Thrust.
THRUST: Yeah, whatever. All I know is that the fans want dead
bodies, and "Corrosion's" got plenty of THOSE!

Although it's been years since Rob Jung last wrote a fanfic, he's still
the best writer overall in terms of plot, storyline, characters, and
description. I never have difficulty visualising what's taking place in
one of Rob's fics.
--Daniel "Suspsy" Suh
There are a lot of really good fanfic writers out there, some who just
showed up this year, in fact, but Scott Kampa has consistently written
great stories, and continues to do so, and so edges out Rob Jung.
--Aaron F. Bourque
Robert Powers, Robert Jung, Tengu. (Okay, I just put Tengu in as #3 since
he's also a Rob...)
--David "Walkerton" Willis
There are too many Rob's in this fandom. And Trix needs encouragement. I
love her Firestormers! :)
--Windchaser/Cecilia
Dave Intermezzo's are the BEST.
--Razorpack
Neale has produced some of the greatest Transformer stories in the history
of the series over the past few years.
--Divefire
Belinda Kelly (I'm hoping for a conclusion to the Andraxus story-arc!)
--Stuart Denyer
RAMJET: Nice trick, for a guy who hasn't written anything in years.
DIRGE: Don't the Trannies count?

Ultra Magnus in "Requiem for a Decepticon" and "Absolute Zero", both by

Obsidian, by PerceptorTFWW (the one with the TFWW). Use the existing 3D
models from Beast Wars, throw in a few flashbacks from Maximal No More,
Code Of Hero and some others, extend the fight scenes a little, and you've
got the *next* Transformers The Movie.

LadyJet's "When Dreams Come True" would make an awsome cartroon episode.

DIRGE: So, guys, what format should "Corrosion of War Without End"
be adapted to, if you had a choice?
RAMJET: Oh, a six-hour-long movie, easily.
THRUST: You're nuts! Who's gonna want to sit through a six-hour
movie?
RAMJET: I would!
THRUST: Yeah, sure you would. A six-hour movie would leave you in a
drooling stupor.
DIRGE: Well, we ARE talking about Ramjet here...

RAMJET: Hey, I figure Rob Powers must have started on a sequel a
few years ago...
THRUST: Yeah, but humans don't live that long.
RAMJET: Maybe they can keep his head alive in a bottle, like they do
on "Futurama".
DIRGE: If his head's in a bottle, how's he supposed to write?
RAMJET: Hey, I can't think of everything!
THRUST: You think of NOTHING, that's the problem.
RAMJET: Watch it, you!
DIRGE: Okay, guys, knock it off, it's time for a commercial break.

This was the funniest fanfic of the year, in my opinion. If I'm not wrong it

I love it, too. However, it actually *did* receive quite a number of
votes in the Trannies *last year*. Are you sure it wasn't posted
earlier than you thought?

It did get more votes, if I remember correctly. Another person voted
for it under a slightly different title. So I believe it got two.

Actually, I...I think I voted for Zob in this category. :/

That's the freakiest thing I've ever listened to. Besides the Genesis
concert where Phil Collins threatens to beat the shit out of the
audience for booing at his pop songs. Take care. Good day.

That's good. That means the four votes were sincere. ;)

Someone found this one funny? *looks at Zodiac.* You're laughing at

Practical jokes on Ultra Magnus are fun! ^_^ Oh, and the Junkion

Ranks right up there with Naked Lunch. That would be a seriously
slagged up movie, worth seeing only for a drunk Bruticus, a ticked off
Waspinator, and a human who needles Starscream's ghost.
I've got to say, it's an honour to be even considered for nomination!
Arigato to all who nominated me! ^_^
