So March was productive. I got one thing written (Healing Hands) and that officially means that I wrote more this year than I did last year. My aim is still to write (or complete) and post at least one thing every month. This month my focus is on my Camp NaNo and my planned Transformers/MCU crossover. I'm not sure that I'll have anything truly postable or in any way complete by the end of the month, but I'm working on various scenes and eventually I will have a multi-chaptered story.
This is turning out to be far more ambitious than I originally had planned as it seems that I am going to be setting up a complete AU. The general outline is that Shockwave is to blame for the Great War and he was manipulating all three sides (The Autobots, the Decepticons, and the Council) and the war continued until Megatron and Orion Pax launched themselves into space in an attempt to find the Hand and gain the power to take over Cybertron for their own. Shockwave allowed them to leave because he thought the Hand was only a myth and that both Megatron and Prime had too much of a cult of personalty behind them to fully control their followers. After Prime and Megatron left, Shockwave managed to put a new Functionist regime into place, rendering Cybertron nearly static. A few of Megatron and Prime's officers kept the rebellion going subtly and were eventually able to leave Cybertron with a few ollowers in the guise of finding new energy sources and spreading the Empire's reach. These mechs were able to track a Cybertronian signal to Earth, where they find an abundance of technology that seem to be Cybertronian in origin. They decide to set up an Infiltration protocol since they fear that this might be some kind of staging ground for one of Shockwave's plots. They are on Earth for a while and are able to observe various events including the arrival of the Asgardians and the attempted Chitauri invasion. Now they have tracked Megatron and Prime's signals to the Hoover Dam and begin to plan an investigtion when the Combaticons are compelled to attack and the Avengers are called in to stop them. It was during the battle that something happened - a flash of light, some blinding pain, and the Cybertronians find themselves human and separated, some picked up by the Avengers, others in the hands of HYDRA.
I still need to figure out the timeline for this because there are things in the MCU that I want to include and things that I want to ignore (Age of Ultron and Civil War are two of the biggies that I want to ignore or change). I also need to figure out exactly what I will deal with with the human condition and how I will avoid certain things given that I want to play with gender dynamics.
So, that's the plan for April.
