"...and then Legolas and the Hulk destroy the entire Greek army." - Penny Arcade

An astolat-style Temeraire fic would involve Lawrence and Napoleon stuck somewhere where they had to work together to survive, slowly becoming a couple, and involve Lawrence learning everything Napoleon did was justified because the French were so oppressed by the British.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Pretty sure an Astolat-style fic for that series would just be, well, the books. All things considered and given the givens and all.

If you'd noticed I was specifically describing the dynamic that tends to show up in her Optimus/Megatron stories, you might have guessed I was angling for someone to ask if I was talking about a Transformative work.

It's really the infrastructure that won, though, right?

Not according to Renay, who helped spearhead the nomination. My understanding is it's the whole thing: the infrastructure, the community of writers, coders, the taggers, the whole thing.
