Cybertronian Culture and Biology 1-0-Y

by Nicor Warg-Fyrweorm

"Cybertronian Culture and Biology One-Oh-Why: How to survive learning about alien habits, anatomy and society. Warning: Understand 'survival' as 'to continue to live', not as 'to remain healthy, happy and unaffected in spite of some occurrence'." Or, "how Spike Witwicky learned about Cybertronian and managed to mentally scar them all for life."

18. Ending Note

Alright, people, first of all, this is not a chapter, it's a note.

In fact, it's here to tell you all that there will be no more chapters, the story is now marked as complete.

HOWEVER, that doesn't mean the story is finished, I still have some more ideas for this 'verse to consider it done, but I had... not lost interest, but motivation on it, which is why it's over.

What I mean is that Cybertronian Culture and Biology 1-0-Y was never meant to be a 'real' story, it was meant to be unrelated ficlets that explained my point of view/headcanon on Cybertronian, and how humans would learn about it and viceversa. However, it grew a plot, and it has changed so much from the initial idea that it isn't Cybertronian Culture and Biology 1-0-Y anymore, but something completely different, a story all on its own.

So, now that I've got all the major points of my headcanon (or all that I could) out of the way, I've decided to consider this fic done and start a new one, a 'Part 2' of sorts. Something along the lines: "Now that the theory is learnt, is time for the practice", or something of the like.

Meaning, it'll focus more on the plot than in trying to explain the differences between humans and Cybertronian (though there will be some of those too).

Now that this is out of the way, I don't know when I'll get the first chapter ready, or what will be the story's title/description/anything, so I'm afraid I can't say, but there will be a story.

Thanks to all of you for sticking along so long, and I hope I'll get to read from you again. Enjoy!

Now... review time:

Qwertzu: Yup, you made a correct educated guess. I have to say I hadn't realized the correlation between gender and point of view of the world, so that was an interesting tidbit. However, my reasoning for Spike's standing in the war (that may have been influenced by my gender, perhaps) is that he now has friends (or something similar) on both sides, and, to him, it's like watching two toddlers arguing for a candy when they have a whole jar next to them, or something as silly, especially after knowing none of them really want the war. I hope I'd get to tackle that more thoroughly in the next part.

Thanks for all your reviews!

Giddy: You're welcome (and now I feel like I have to apologize, because... well, you read the note). Jazz is literally uncontrollable. I swear this was supposed to be a serious chapter, but nooo, Jazz couldn't let it be... And Prowl, of course, had to go along/have his say too. Darn those two...

Yes, Red Alert doesn't get enough love, even though he's a really interesting character, especially when one tries to delve into his fritzy (is that a word?) processor. I'm glad I got him right here!

You do? O.o Wow... Congrats, I heard they're really rare XP Maybe that's where Jazz saw one? ((Side note: My furball cat's huggability isn't in question either XP))

They rebound surprisingly well for beings made of metal, I'll admit that. I hope I'd get to continue doing that in the next story. Thanks a lot for your encouragement!
