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

New Stuff:

You can now vote for the Pictures and Captions Competition !

There are some additional bloopers added to the BW Bloopers page 2.

Due to too few entries, the Mystery Fan Fiction Challenge has been extended to 'whenever there are enough entries'. Please participate so BWINT can have another successful competition!

Several members have joined several Fanclubs, including the Silverbolt Fanclub. Remember, you can use these clubs for any fun BW-related stuff, like showcasing your character-centred art piece or fics, or you can start friendly competitions between characters/clubs. If you wanna get something going, post on the Forums and rally up support for your idea!

An About the Author page has been submitted by Onyx Wing.

The next BWINT Newsletter will be up as soon as I can find time. This update alone took me the better part of three days to complete.

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!

Here are the results for the previous polls:

'Which Beast Warrior would make the best Indiana Jones'

2nd: Dinobot - 23%
3rd: Optimus - 12%

15 September 2007

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)
2.) Waspinator - 14% (42)
3.) Silverbolt - 11% (35)
4.) Cheetor - 9% (28)

Nine fics this update. Check the Latest Fan Fiction page to see what's new.

5 May 2007

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!

Five fics this week, including some by two new writers! Check the Latest Fan Fiction page to see what's new.


 

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 (or else on the Current Events 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!

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%

7 October 2006

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 as normal from next week. In the mean time enjoy/envy the Botcon goodness linked below!

Latest Fan Fiction || Fan Art Update

Since Sapph is out enjoying Canada (or, at least, I hope she's enjoying it), Miss Special's here to update. There will not be an update next week, as Sapph and I will be at BOTCON!!! and won't have the time to update. Updates will return to normal the following week, I believe.

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 is September 1st, so hurry and send in your entries if you want to take part!

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 Convention Reports 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 polls:

'Would you object if they update the entire Beast Wars series?'

1st: No way, that sounds great! - 52%
2nd: Why change a good thing? - 17%
3rd: I don't know - 15%
4th: Of course! - 11%

30 July 2006

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 the ranks!

Ronaldo from Brazil has joined the Dinobot Fanclub.

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!
Here are the results of the previous poll:

'We all talk about famous actors, so if one celebrity had a chance to be on Beast Wars, which one would you want it to be?'
1st: Johnny Depp - 37%
2nd: Patrick Stewart - 22%
3rd: None of the above - 15%
4th: Peter Cullen/ Frank Welker - 8%

Another tiny fanfic update this week. Check out the Latest Fan Fiction page.


 

22 July 2006

I'm away next week, but I will be back on Sunday so the next update will be Sunday the 30th. Also, a note on the future of the site in terms of donations etc. can be found at the forum, here.

New Stuff:

There's a new Pictures and Captions competition to vote at! Be sure to check it out!

The TF Conventions page has been updated. There's also a new page with the details of the Canadian Bwint.net Gathering.

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!
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.

Everblue has joined the clan of beta readers.

14 July 2006

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!!

There's a new general poll now to vote at (from saturday)

'Which plot element from the show could you have lived without? (Special thanks to Everblue for the topic)'

8 July 2006

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! Email: sapphire@bwint.net

2 July 2006

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

10 June 2006

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.


27 May 2006

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:

There are a couple additions to the BW Bloops and Animation Oddities pages.

There's a new general poll now to vote at (idea by Everblue).
Here are the results of the previous polls:

'If you were a Beast Wars character, which of these roles would you be on your team?'
1st: Scout - 23%
2nd: All of the above - 21%
3rd: Warrior - 17%


There are a few new fic submissions this week. More info at the Latest Fan Fiction page.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

20 May 2006

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 by two new writers. Check out the Latest Fan Fiction page!

A few more BW bloopers and animation oddities have been sent in.

Mairilyn has submitted an episode review for Power Surge, which has been added to the Episode Reviews page.

I've updated and purged the links on the Links page. If anyone still finds a broken link, please let me know.

There's a new general poll now to vote at (idea by Everblue).
Here are the results of the previous polls:

'Which game show would you love to see the Beast Warriors on?'
1st: Whose Line is it Anyway? - 42%
2nd: Family Feud - 17%
3rd: Who wants to be a millionaire? - 10%
4th: They all suck - 8%

There was so much fan fiction and poetry sent in this week that I couldn't get to it all, so half of it is up 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.

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.

With the Fan Fic Awards finished, you'd think there'd be a lull in excitement here at Bwint. But fear not! For 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 linked on the Fan Fiction page.

There's a new general poll now to vote at.
Here are the results for the previous polls:


'Do you think that The Agenda series could have been done differently?'
1st: It's excellent the way it is - 43%
2nd: Yes, that way there'd be more... - 22%
3rd: Could it be done?/maybe - 17%


Please continue to email all website-related stuff to sapphire@bwint.net only.

Hooray for the first update of 2006! And what a way to start the year, with a big update and the Fan Fiction Awards of 2005 upon us! On Sunday the 8th of this month, at 1pm Florida (USA) time, the winners of the annual fic awards will be announced in an AIM chat. The results will be posted after the ceremony the following week. Everyone who partook, be it nominating or voting, as well as the nominees, are invited to this event (contact sn: kismetstar15). Good luck to all those who've been nominated!


New Stuff:

There's now a link to pre-order the second wave of 10th Anniversary Beast Wars toys on the BWInt Shop page. If you're looking to buy these toys, it'd be much appreciated it you bought it through those links on the site, as a small percentage of the sale will go towards keeping it running.

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!

More Beast Wars bloopers and animation odds have been added to that section of the site. Thanks to all the contributors!

There's a new general poll now to vote at.
Here are the results for the previous polls:

'Who would be best to play the grinch (That guy who tries to steal Christmas)?'
1st: Tarantulas - 34%
2nd: DinoBot - 16%
3rd: Megatron - 10%

'If a parody series of Beast Wars were created, would you want Code of Hero to be part of it?'
1st: Absolutely! - 41%
2nd: I dunno - 31%
3rd: I will boycot the show it that happens - 22%
4th: Heck No! - 6%

On a side note, my yahoo account isn't working (and hasn't been for the past 3 days) so please email all fics etc. to sapphire@bwint.net only.
