On to news.
Three awesome things have come out of me writing my horrible fanfiction of horrible.
1.learning im not a terrible writer and can actually write a story that people enjoy is a help to my confidence levels.
2. learning how to do well developed vector backgrounds. And Backgrounds in general that don't look like awful blurry messes. To the point im actually confident enough to start thinking of including them more for commissions.
3.Writing is oddly therapudic, I can push alot of my emotional things into them and I get the same satisfaction I get from Rping with a character I love to play. Writing for starscream is both fun and challenging because his character is litterally forming the story to what he would do in a certain situation.
All that being said theres still a few things that bug me about it.
I still have issues with the fact the story is still a bit self-serving which I hate but at the same time its also Therapy so I can forgive it to some degree. I realized only after I started writing that I had watched the few episodes of Prime that i had managed to snag, out of order. Which means the story fits into MLP Continuity but no-where at all in Prime's continuity. An oversight on my part I wish I could rectify. I was going to try and say it happened sometime in the third season but with Optimus apprently doing his "death-rebirth" thing and the lack of an autobot base.... yeah... whoopsie. So if your trying to determine WHEN this COULD have happened in the prime-verse. Stop. Because the stupid writer watched the dumb series out of order.

"I still have issues with the fact the story is still a bit self-serving which I hate but at the same time its also Therapy so I can forgive it to some degree. ".
Apologies for the long comment but with all respects, Fox, pretty much a lot of writers I know of would personally speak of their own writing as "self-serving" or therapy on purpose. I could name (in her case, an anime fandom member)
For another example, some of the thematics, characters even, from Tolkien's work might have been(at least partly) inspired by his experience of WW1.
In fact, when people had mistakenly made parralels between WW2 and Lord of the Ring, his actual response was: "One has indeed personally to come under the shadow of war to feel fully its oppression; but as the years go by it seems now often forgotten that to be caught in youth by 1914 was no less hideous an experience than to be involved in 1939 and the following years. By 1918 all but one of my close friends were dead."
As for the case of my writer friend, she personally admited some of the theme in her works were more or less "stress relief" in face of the stuff she had to deal with in real life at times.
So really, there really is no issue in "self serving" writing I'd be tempted to say. :)
On the note of Prime-out-of-order-ness.... this is a fanfiction. Not just any fanfiction, but your fanfiction. You own it. Thus, the cannon of the story is yours too. It's admirable to get as close as possible to "true" cannon, and often the challenge of it is downright fun. However, the story is the core, yes? If trying to mold to a cannon that isn't yours begins to cause too much stress and almost break the story, remember that you OWN it. You're allowed to show cannon who's boss.
And I agree with Fringe, as a writer myself I can say that honestly one of the things I wrestle with all the time is if its just self-serving. And sometimes it is, a lot of my stories no one really will ever read except me or close friends.
Fact you've posted your fanfiction here shows more courage than I've ever been able to muster.

COMING THIS SPRING!
"The World is Not Enough"
Your fanfic is not terrible. It could stand to be thought out a bit more but as something you're doing just "cause I can" it's not that bad. I certainly have done worse.
No you can't read it.
