FIC: Transformers / Top Gear: GT Part I

For all the work I've put into this, it feels kind of weird to not be posting it anywhere. I don't know where else I could put it, though. That said, I don't care if anyone reading this wants to link it anywhere, either because they like it or because they want to poke fun at it.

* This has since been linked to at topgearslash and, if Aniko is to be believed (and I've no reason to doubt her) at The Padded Cell.

It doesn't fit in one post, so I've linked each entry to the other half of the story.

...I want to say several things about this, including how much I dislike it right now, but I'm not going to! I realize my opinion is tainted quite a lot by the fact that I've been working on this for months. So, without further discussion, here it (finally) is, in all its ridiculous glory.

Title: GT
Author: Jecca Meitahn / twilit_wanderer
Fandom: Transformers/Top Gear crossover
Rating: T
Characters: Mirage and Jeremy Clarkson, with appearances by Decepticons Rumble, Ravage, and Battle Ravage (unnamed), Autobots Jazz and Hound, and humans Richard Hammond and James May. Others referenced.
Pairing: nothing intended, but take it as you will. I don't care.
Wordcount: 13,300
Warnings: this is insane?
Summary: Mirage's deployment goes awry. Jeremy Clarkson's Ford GT arrives. There are no such things as coincidences.
Disclaimer: I'm fairly certain this didn't happen. I do not own Transformers or anything (or anyone) related to Top Gear. I do, however, own an Alternators Mirage, who looks startlingly like Jeremy Clarkson's GT and is the entire cause of this deranged thing.
Notes: The Transformers characters in here all have Alternators forms. The Alternators line has no canon, so I'm kind of making my own up as I go along, but there are a lot of very strong influences from various branches of Transformers continuity. This is completely irrelevant to anyone not familiar with Transformers.

There may be a few problems. I'm not British, so I'm not sure if all of the dialogue is right for Clarkson and the others. I'm not sure my chronology is entirely correct, either, so, if something's glaringly wrong, please tell me so I can try to fix it. I'd love to hear what people think of this in general, as well, even if it is nothing but hatred.

Edit I should've done quite a while ago...
There are other stories (all one-shots) related to this. In order of writing, they are: Sympathy, Prodding, On Names, and "With A Chance of Rain".

Because clearly everyone wants to know my thoughts on everything!

AUGH NOVEMBER.

I take miniscule consolation in the fact that I have absolutely no intention of hitting a 50k word count (watch, watch, I suddenly accomplish exactly that within two weeks).

I have to admit, I'm a little worried about it. Mirage is going to feature in "WST-Live!," though not nearly as prominently as in "GT." It starts about the time he returns, so I'm not sure how well he's going to be interacting with the other Autobots. (Jeremy Clarkson has already managed to be mentioned a few times, and he's not supposed to be in it at all!) He's been gone a while, though.

And with that totally awesome and not at all forced segue, I go on to ramble some of my many, many thoughts about "GT."

Does it make me a bit egotistical to do this?

Probably. I need to get it out of my system, though.

( Jecca's thoughts on her own writing. Spoilers for GT. )

Okay. I feel... not better, since that might imply I was feeling bad about it, but, I don't know. I have wanted to talk about this story for the last month but have refrained, because I didn't want to reveal the ending anywhere on my journal (I was going to just leave it at anywhere, but the truth is, I threw the last three-or-so pages as Aniko almost as soon as I finished typing them up, because I was so ridiculously proud of it) before I posted the final product. Because I love the ending and still think it is perfect.

BUT NOW IT IS TIME TO TACKLE SOMETHING ELSE. And hopefully now I can actually do that, now that I've got my ramblings about "GT" out of the way.
