Ticket/letter I sent to FanFiction.net

Unread post by EverBlue »

It's become apparent to me recently that the "Transformers/Beast Wars" page is far more cluttered than it needs to be. Why? Because it's been overloaded through the years with over four different continuities that have almost nothing to do with each other. Moreover, you have six different shows that hold no relevancy amongst themselves. There's the original Generation 1 Transformers, Beast Wars, Beast Machines, Robots in Disguise, Armada, Energon, and Cybertron. Right now, there's just this enormous clutter and conflict of interests going on in the "Beast Wars/Transformers" section and I believe it needs to be addressed right away.

My suggestion is to divide the generic Transformers category into several other categories so that fans of certain continuities may find their enjoyment in the universes that they are fans of. I would recommend the following categories: G1/G2 Transformers, Beast Wars/Beast Machines, Robots in Disguise, Transformers: Armada/Energon, and Transformers: Cybertron. I ask that this problem be dealt with right away and all respective continuities are divided into their own individual categories instead of being stocked under a generic umbrella "Transformers" category.

After all, you guys divide the Final Fantasies into their respective continuities under the games section.

Thank you, and I look forward to either hearing from you or seeing my recommendations taken into strong consideration.
This grew out of my frustrations at having to wade through so many garbage(mostly Armada fics) under the Transformers/Beast Wars category just to find BW fics to read so I think you can see where I'm coming from. If you also feel the same then I ask you send in these letters to FanFiction.net to express your views and to persuade them to give Beast Wars its own separate category.

Not all Armada fics are trash. For example a guy named The Crab has rewritten the Armada continuity, and enhanced it with Transformers Universe characters, such as Rhinox and Cheetor, being Unicron's spawns. Lemme list the US's: Tarantulas, Cheetor, Rhinox, Razorclaw, Airazor, Terrorsaur and Predacon. And he just put Energon Scorponok into the fray as well, and I like him. At least he reminds me of BW characters. Oh, and he also wrote the ending thoughts of BW Dinobot.. and it turned out great.

And btw, I love Cybertron Scourge. He looks wonderful, and sounds even better. Here are some fics I like:

DarkAnimus's "Hot Shot's Childhood" (has some grammar mistakes.. she's a Finn): http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2169105/1/

Goldenrod's "Wheeljack's Quest" (I love the ending): http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2389774/1/

Pivot (all his/her fics are there.. mostly centering around Minicons): http://www.fanfiction.net/u/470415/

The Crab (all his stories): http://www.fanfiction.net/u/220698/ (oh, btw, I love 'The Origin', 'The Hunt' and the 'Fallen Hero' and 'Fallen Hero Rewrite'.. the last two are about Dinobot, the first two are about his own character, Predacon.. actually he's a TF Universe character)

Let's stay on topic peeps.

I also believe that the TF categoty of FF.net should be separated. Sure, they are of the same thing (TFs) but it has gotten to the point were I can't figure out what fic is from which series.

I checked the ticket again today. Originally, I set the priority alert to "Urgent" but now I see that they've opened my letter and set the priority alert to "Medium."

It's better than giving it a low priority, I suppose. :?

Oh yes, and if you want to send them a letter, just go under FAQ and sign in under your FF.net name. Then you can send them tickets requesting that the TF continuities have their own categories.
