The Devil You Know: Chapter 1

Title: The Devil You Know

Series: G1 universe, focusing on Original characters

Rating: R

Summary: In the early days of the civil war on Cybertron, Sentinel Prime authorized several refugee vessels to take Neutrals away from the planet in hopes that they could start peaceful colonies where they would be safe. Many of these refugees were never heard from again; lost to us through time and distance. But history does record the fate of one of the vessels. The Stormchaser was three orns away from its destination when it was shot down by Decepticons in an act of cowardice and deceit. There were no survivors. That is what history tells us. But in this case, history is wrong.

Author's Note: Day two and still going strong. I got my word count in just in time, so it still counts for today -- make that yesterday, as it's now tomorrow. And, in fact, as I write I'm getting a better feel for the future of the story, beyond what I already had planned. This should be a good thing.

NaNoWriMo: Day 3

Well, there's no update today, since the bulk of Chapter 2 is elluding me right now. Of, the writing is coming along swimmingly, I just don't have the chapter where I want it to be before it's done.

Unfortunately, the NaNo site is down, and thus, I can't update my word count. Rumour has it that the site's been hacked, but the truth is, they've been having problems from the get go. I've heard that the servers can't handle the number of people that are doing NaNo this year. So far this is the first problem I've had with the site, but a number of folks are complaining that they've been having difficulties since about the last week of October.

Well, either way, I know what I've done, it's not like I'm paying to be in this contest, and as long as things are working for the final confirmation upload, I don't really care ... well maybe a little, but I won't stress over it.

Anyway, enough rambling. In lieu of a chapter, I'll just post my wordcount meter:
