Latest
Fan Fiction || Fan Art Update
So yeah. Life! Kinda got in the way of my updating
the site. And then the webhost neglected to remind me payment
was due. So the site crashed for a day and I had to pay out of
pocket to revive it, minus any help from donations (thus far,
and because nobody else knew!) But the plus side to the scare
is it gave me the kick in the pants needed to get the site updated,
and here it is, on Guy Fawkes Day, I believe, although the fireworks
are as much a celebration of AN UPDATE *hears gasps* as of any
other celebration.
So, if anyone is willing to donate some money
to ensure the continued survival of the site, do paypal me! Address
is on the Donations page. Otherwise,
contact me if you'd like to offer some support (money or otherwise)
for the site in other ways. Email: malachite157@yahoo.com

I realize it has been a long time since the site
was properly updated. I would like to apologize to everyone who
visits the site for the unexplained delay. For three full months
I have been without Internet at home and it has been impossible
for me to update consistently. I thank you for your patience during
this period. These last several months have given me time to think
about my feelings towards running this site and I have decided
on some changes, which can be read in further detail here.
Please note that due to these changes, I will be taking full responsibility
for the site, including fan art, so all content is to be submitted
to myself, Sapphire, in future.
As there's been a three month lapse in updates,
it's quite possible some content submitted to the site has been
lost. If you sent in anything and it's not displayed in this update,
I kindly request that you re-submit it. My inbox has been swamped
with emails these past few months and I may have missed a few
site-related ones. If I have, I do apologize.
New Stuff:
The Botcon
2007 page has been launched. Currently, there are two
different accounts of the event and a page of photographs. If
you have written a Botcon report or have some photos you'd like
to share, please send them
in.
The Pictures and Captions
Competition has been updated with entries. However, it is
possible some entries were lost over the past few months, so if
you submitted a caption, check that it's up there because the
poll for the competition will be going up shortly. There are also
some additional pics 'n caps on the third
page of the section.
Shadowheart submitted some more trivia to the
Beast Wars Trivia page.
There's a brand new fanclub for Terrorsaur,
which you can see here. There's
a Ravage fanclub in the works but the page needs content. If you
want to join this club, submit your reasons for admiring the character,
or send in some fan art or fan fiction that features Ravage in
a primary role. Email all content here.
There's a new general poll
now to vote at. (Since the last one was up so long it ended up
getting 309 votes!). If you have an idea for a poll, let Wicked
Woman know by email or at the suggestion
thread
at the forum!
Here
are the results for the previous poll:
'Which
Beast Warrior is most likely to be voted Prom Queen?'
1.) Megatron - 34% (106)

My apologies for the delayed update. I fully intended
to update as regularly as possible upon my return, but I was struck
down by a severe, recurring neck pain which meant I needed to
avoid the PC. I am still in pain, so I don't know when the next
update will be (this one has taken a lot of work in short stints
and the assistance of a friend to get done) but hopefully it will
mend soon.
An update on the forum situation: Miss Special
has put in extra security features which seem to be filtering
out the spambots. Many thanks to her for all her hard work to
make the forums a nicer place.
New Stuff:
This is a reminder about the current Fan
Fiction Challenge . There are now four fics, which means
the competition is definitely on. If you'd like to try your hand
at winning the prize that's up for grabs, you need to email your
fanfic before the end of the month!
If any BWINT visitors are attending Botcon '07
or are considering attending the BWINT
Gathering , please let me know so we can organize meeting
up. The more the merrier!
There's a new general poll
now to vote at. If you have an idea for a poll, let Wicked Woman

30 April 2007
At the time of this update, the forums are undergoing
an upgrade. If there are glitches with it over the next few days,
please bear with us; the upgrade is to combat the growing spambot
problem. On another note, updates will roughly be every weekend
(and the fan art update will stay on Saturdays). However, whenever
I am bogged down and can only update during the week, I will let
people know an update has occurred then by means of the Update
mailing list (which you can sign up for on the main page of the
site.)
New Stuff:
There are a few new bloopers added to season 1
and 2 on the BW Mistakes and Animation
Oddities page.
As I've not really been around to promote it,
I have decided to extend the deadline for the current Fan
Fiction Challenge 'til the end of May. Currently there
are two entries, which you can read here.
If you are a writer who submitted a fanfic for the Challenge
and it is not listed at this page, please email
me an let me know. I encourage everyone to try their hand
at the challenge this year. After all, there is a prize to be
won!
The Transformers
Conventions page has been updated with the dates and venues
of TF cons around the world, taking place this year. A page of
information on this year's annual BWINT
Gathering has also been added and can be viewed here

Fan Fiction page to see what's new.
21 April 2007
Hey everybody! Sapphire here. I'm back to updating
after a long and much-needed break from site stuff. I want to
thank Miss Special and everyone who assisted her during the last
few months. They have done a fantastic job and kept the site running
smoothly in my absence. I have a few small announcements to make.
One is that I am going to be addressing the problems with the
Beta Reader system; I am aware that many writers have sent fanfics
to beta readers and heard nothing. If it's been weeks since you
submitted a fic and you STILL haven't had anything back, please
RESEND them to me and I will make sure they get edited and uploaded.
A few readers have been very busy and without Internet so there's
been a break down in communication. I will be revamping the system
soon. Secondly, the forums have been seeing a lot of spam bots
of late and we have temporarily jacked up security there. We will
be working on installing an effective system of filtering them
out, as currently our admins are overloaded. If you do see some
dodgy posts by strange new members, you're encouraged to avoid
their threads until an admin deletes them. Thirdly, there will
be a different updating system from now on. Instead of cramming
everything into a Saturday, I am going to update as and when I
have time (that also applies to Miss Special and the art update).
That might mean 2 or 3 small updates in one week, or one large
update after a week or two. I have a very busy schedule so fitting
in updates will be a challenge, but I will do the very best I
can to make them as regular as possible. If anyone has any content,
comments or questions concerning the site, please feel free to
email me at sapphire@bwint.net
New Stuff:
There's a new fanclub for Quickstrike.
It's pretty small right now with only 4 members, but if you're
a fan of that crazy cowboy fuzor, you can sign up by emailing
me a list of reasons why you like the dude.
As I've not really been around to promote it,
I have decided to extend the deadline for the current Fan
Fiction Challenge 'til the end of May. That, and we also
don't have enough entries to constitute a competition. The fic
challenge is a nice, easy general one: write an Action Adventure.
I know there are a lot of talented and enthusiastic writers out
there who could come up with a great fic, so I encourage you all
to try your hand at it -- after all, there is a prize to be won
in this particular challenge!
Some pictures and captions have been added to
page 3 of that section. Jagna has also submitted several of her
own pics and caps which can be viewed at her section, also linked
on the Pictures
and Captions pages.
A Beast Wars blooper was added to the season 3
section of the BW Mistakes and Animation
Oddities page.
There's a new general poll
now to vote at. If you have an idea for a poll, let Wicked Woman
know by email or at the suggestion
thread
at the forum!
Results for previous poll:
Which
BW male character is most likely to get a date (in real life)?
(Special thanks to Jagna):
1.)
Cheetor - 26%
2.) Rattrap - 18%
3.) Tigatron - 17%
4.) Dinobot & Rhinox - 9%
5.) Megatron - 5%
6.) Terrorsaur - 3%
7.) Waspinator & Inferno - 2%

Well, I'm back, and with a new
laptop too. I have come back to a TON of work and matters were
not helped when transferring stuff from my old laptop to my new
laptop took several hours due to disc read errors, faulty flash
drives and lurking viruses. So! This update there'll be no fics
(it's 8pm and I started this morning, I haven't even been outside,
to give you an idea of how hard I've been working on this all)
but there will be Botcon reports! Updates will (hopefully) continue

I hope she's enjoying it), Miss Special's here to update. There

Hope everyone enjoyed last week's
update. :)
New Stuff:
I've wanted to add a Beast Wars E-cards
section to the site for a while, but I don't have time
to make graphics for 20 cards, so I thought I'd announce to everyone
that I'm looking for talented artists or graphic designers
to make touching or funny e-cards, of the Beast Wars theme,
of course! We need fathers day, mothers day, valentines, birthdays,
Christmas, Get Well and just general "have a nice day"
cards. If you're interested in contributing, please email
me and let me know!
Just a reminder that the current Bwint
Fan Fiction Writing Challenge is coming to a close! Deadline

19 August 2006
Mega update today (although not
in terms of fics and art). I've spent weeks setting some of this
stuff up!
New Stuff:
Those of you who entered Bwint via the main page
would have noticed two new tools! One is the Bwint.net web browser
toolbar!
- Download that and you can access Bwint easily
from any webpage! It has links this page, the entrance page and
the forum, and it also has a search tool, pop-up blocker and can
be easily configured to check your email. Check
it out!
The next tool is the Search
Site tool. This will make finding certain things on this site
a lot easier. Trying to find a review or a fanfic you read, but
cannot remember WHERE on the site you saw it? The search tool
will make life easier! You can always find this tool on the main
page.
Extra
Cool Alert!: And perhaps the most exciting addition
to the site this week is Depth Charge
as our new mascot. If you go to his Fan
Club page, you will hear a message from the fish himself!
And yes, that IS David Sobolov voicing him. The privilege
was gained by winning a voice-recording-for-charity auction. You
can thank yours truly for that, and of course Mr.Sobolov!
As if that wasn't enough, to celebrate you can
now purchase a Depth Charge shirt from the site's
store! At the moment, the design is only on a woman's t-shirt,
but that can easily be shifted to a men's shirt of your choice.
Just drop me an email and I'll organize it for you. AVERY cute
Rattrap&Dinobot chibi combo design has also been added. Many
thanks to Blaze Raptor for contributing her awesome art!
Still
more! For those of you who enjoyed the Gathering Beast Wars comics,
you can read an interview with the comic colourist, Josh Burcham,
at the comics page. Click
here for a quick link!
Onto more regular stuff:
there are some picture and caption submissions to the
Pictures and Captions page.
Bwint member Optimal Optimus
Primal (the fan) attended Mechacon this year, and her
report of her great experiences there can be found on the

I have returned. I have good news,
too. The site has raised enough money to pay for its web hosting
this year. However, if you were planning on donating, it would
be awesome if you still did, as extra money would go towards keeping
it going yet another year and perhaps affording some prizes for
Fan Fiction challenges etc. Having money in the site's bank account
opens up a whole lot of fun possibilities for it, so keep the
support coming and the next year could be our best yet. Any queries
about donations should be directed to myself
or Hacker.
New Stuff:
There are a number of new
entries for the Pictures and Captions
competition. It's open one more week, so send in your captions
soon if you want to take part!
Omicron the Ice Queen has
sent in some awesome pics of the 10 seconds cut from "Nemesis:
Part 2". They are listed under "images" in Bwint's
Media section. Check them
out! If you have a good gif animator and can make a little
moving gif of these images, please do send it in and I will gladly
add it to the page.
I am pleased to announce
that we have yet another Beta Reader.
Sinead, a popular and established writer at the site, has joined

Here are the results of the previous polls:
'Which
idea for a '*filler episode' did you like the most?'
1st: 'The Low Road' - 30%
2nd: Starscreams appearance - 26%
3rd: Go with the Flow - 24%
4th: What's a filler episode? - 9%
* Note from Wicked Woman. A filler episode is an episode that
is not or has not been reminisced about in future episodes. It
does not have any meaning towards the series and is just meant
to be used to lengthen the season (series) to the actual number
that their budget can offer to the full extent. While entertaining
(sometimes), it does not effect the series in any big way.

An early update from me this week,
as I'm busy all weekend. An art update will take place on Saturday
the 15th.
New Stuff:
Important: The
time is nearing for Bwint's web hosting to be renewed, so money
is needed. We need to raise $120 each year. We've received a few
donations, but we're not even halfway there. To make things nicer
for people wanting to contribute to the site this year, a Beast
Wars International Shop has been added. You can buy 10th Anniversary
BW toys through the site, OR purchase mugs, t-shirts etc. with
Blaze Raptor's adorable Beast Wars chibis as designs at the site's
official
store. Alternatively, you can just send in donations.
Every penny helps. Please help keep Bwint running for another
year! The renewal deadline is coming up fast!!

The Beta Reader system so far has
proved a success. However, there are a small amount of fics that
I'm still waiting for from the Readers, so if your fic is not
up this update, wait 'til next week, and if it's not up then,
email me and let me know. It might've been lost in the changeover
from Miss Special to myself.
New Stuff:
The Romance Fan Fiction
Challenge page has been updated with a list of current entries
plus a deadline date. If you have entered this challenge,
I ask that you please check the list
to make sure that your entry hasn't been overlooked, which is
possible since two people have been running the site off and on
for the last couple of months.
There's a pretty large group of members from Bwint.net
going to this year's Botcon (www.botcon.com)
in Kentucky USA. This is a public shout out to any other fellow
Bwint visitors to say that we'd love to meet you if you're going.
There's a thread about it at the forum and a mailing list to all
the members known to be attending, so if you want in, let me know!

Sapphire's back! After being crazy busy, then
away for a while, then suffering a neck injury, I kinda fell behind
on all that's been happening at my own site. This week and next
weekend I will be adding everything I've got stored, but if I
have forgotten a submission or two, please resend it to me. Many
thanks goes to Miss Special for taking care of things in my absence!
New Stuff:
There are quite a few new additions to the Pictures
and Captions section. Check out page 3.
Some of the Beast Warrior Fan Clubs have been
updated.
Important:
The Fan Fiction Submission system has undergone a massive change.
Because I'm just too busy these days to read and check every entry
sent in (and Bwint gets sent a lot each week!) I've now put up
a page of Beta Readers. All
fanfics must go through them before they get accepted. The new
fanfic submission policies can be seen here.
PLEASE read them. I had to change things, because there was simply
too much material for one person to handle

No update this week. Sorry. It's just that, between working nine
days straight and looking at another six day stretch ahead of
me (ending the day before I go on my trip), I'm tired. I know
this means there probably won't be an update for a few weeks,
but I just don't have it in me at the moment.
(And no, my work isn't trying to kill me, one of my coworkers
is out of commission and I happened to be in the wrong place at
the wrong time when people were trying to figure out who would
take her shifts.)
But this week isn't completely without new content. Sapphire
has put together a report for her experience at Auto Assembly.
3 June 2006
I'm going to be on vacation from June 16-25, so
there won't be updates during that time. You can still send me
stuff (this is still Miss Special, by the way), but I won't be
able to do anything with it, especially over a 21.6k (at best)
internet connection.
New Stuff:
There's a new general poll now to vote at (idea
by Safeguard).
Here are the results of the previous polls:
'Which Fairy Tale would you like to see the Beast
Wars Characters recreate?'
1st: Robin Hood - 34%
2nd: Sleeping Beauty - 24%
3rd: None of the above - 21%
4th: All of the above - 16%
A small fic update this week. See it at the Latest Fan Fiction
page.

Miss Special here, still sitting in the seat of
leadership. It is quite cushy. There are even cupholders in the
armrests. What a nice chair.
...Aren't you glad I don't get all talky with
the art updates? I mean, think about what it'd be like if you
had to put up with this every week.
Also, thanks go to Varyn, who's been helping me
with editing. :)
New Stuff:

In case you didn't catch it the first time, I,
Miss Special, am temporarily taking over things for awhile. I'll
let you know when she's coming back (or she will, whoever gets
to it first), but in the meantime, just sit back and watch me
do things.
*...does nothing out of spite*
Yes, I am a bad person. No, there's not much you can do about
it. :)
Anyways, that means that all site related stuff
should be sent to me for the time being.
And don't forget to check out the fanart update,
because I update that, too.
New Stuff:
Beast Wars International officially has its own
store! Check it out! There're t-shirts, mugs, and other nifty
thingities! All profits go to keeping the site up and running,
so when you buy bwint stuff, you're making the world a better
place.
There's lots of additions to the Pictures and
Captions section.

Important announcement: Miss Special is taking
over the site for awhile. Please send submissions and other site-related
things to her at miss_special@bwint.net.

This update took me an entire day. -_- All submissions
sent on Friday are going up next update.
New Stuff:
There's a new entry in the Pictures and Captions
section, with lots more promised for next week.
The IDW Beast Wars Comics section has been updated
with more images now and a review for the fourth in the Gathering
series.
A few more BW bloopers and animation oddities
have been sent in.
I've added flags to the top left hand corner of
fan fiction writers' fanfic or main sections. I did this simply
to be a nice addition to the International feel of this site.
I wasn't sure of the nationalities of some of the writers so if
you're one of them and your section is missing a flag, be sure
to let me know (tell my your nationality!) and I'll add the flag.
If I've put the wrong flag on your page, or if you are very strongly
and proudly a dual citizen of two countries, then please let me
know and I'll do my best to correct things. I hope everyone enjoys
this little extra!
There's a new general poll now to vote at (idea by Everblue).
Here are the results of the previous polls:
'Should Beast Wars be revived in an alternate
universe?(Same characters, different settings and storylines not
connected to the original series)'
1st: Possibly, but only if it's a well-done show that can live
up to the spirit of the original - 73%
2nd: Yes, that would be great! - 17%
3rd: I'm indifferent - 5%
There's a ton of reading material up this update, including works

this weekend and the second half will be put up next update. Check
out the Latest Fan Fiction page!
22 April 2006
Because I got sent 90% of the update material
on Friday evening, I decided to post-phone the update until next
weekend. Gives me time for a short break, too. I have, however,
updated the Pictures and Captions
sections, including adding captions to the competition. I am also
going to use this opportunity to announce that as of next week,
I am only going to accept pictures and captions of a certain standard.
I used to get sent in quality pictures that at least raised a
smile, but these days I'm not getting sent images that are even
remotely funny. Sorry if it sounds harsh, but at the risk of filling
the Pictures and Captions section with rubbish, I am going to
only accept pictures and captions that are actually good.
Be sure to check out the update next weekend,
as I will (all things going smoothly) be opening up a new section
at BW International! Watch this space!
15 April 2006

Easter everyone! And to those who don't celebrate it, have a great

Hello, this be your resident Art Director Person
Thingity speaking. Well, typing, really. Speaking wouldn't really
do any of us any good, because you couldn't hear me if I did.
So it's a good thing I'm typing, isn't it?
Anyways, Sapph's getting back just before next week's update,
so she won't really have time to go through and edit them, so
you can send them to me and I'll edit them, etc., and pass them
along to her.

this week marks the beginning of... The Fan ART Awards! Click
the "Fan Art Update" link above for more info. :p
In other important news, the forum
is being relaunched. The current one has served us well for
a few years now, but those annoying floating advertisments are
getting on everyone's nerves (including ours) and it costs as
much as the site does anually to get rid of them. So! We are changing
forums to our shiny new php forum hosted on the site. It's new,
it's fresh and it has no adverts! Click here
for more info.
New Stuff:
All the winning and runner-up fics now have stars
on them and below their links. The Awards results can be found

of 10th Anniversary Beast Wars toys on the BWInt
Shop page. If you're looking to buy these toys, it'd be much

Thanks to a generous contributor, there are several
new, beautiful images added to the galleries.
One each in the image section of Optimus, Dinobot, Rhinox, Silverbolt
and the Maximal Group Shots.
Due the current lack of entries for the Comedy
Fan Fiction challenge, I'm keeping it open until there simply
ARE enough entries. I considered closing it altogether, but that
would be unfair to the two writers who have submitted works. Come
on, everyone! you voted for this category, so at least try to
participate!

site. Thanks to all the contributors!
