I wanted to share a quick note about a recent change in my writing direction.
          	The main reason I now prefer “Forbidden Sparks” over “Bride of Megatron” is that I’ve decided to move away from stories inspired by Bride of Discord. After reflecting on it, I no longer feel comfortable creating or supporting fanfics that romanticize abuse, sexual slavery, forced marriages, or toxic relationships.
          	As a woman who has personally experienced sexual harassment, I’ve come to realize how important it is not to portray sexism, misogyny, or romanticized abuse in my stories. I don’t want to give readers the wrong impression or unintentionally promote harmful ideas. I’m against sexism and misogyny in real life, and I want my writing to reflect that.
          	Because of this, you won’t be seeing me continue or post stories like Bride of Megatron or Bride of Starscream anymore. I’ve grown as both a person and a writer, and I now understand that there is nothing romantic or acceptable about forced relationships or victims “falling in love” with their abusers.
          	Bride of Discord was a bad influence on my earlier work, and I regret letting it shape some of my older ideas. I’m choosing to do better moving forward.
          	Thank you for understanding my decision. I truly appreciate your support as I continue to grow and create stories I can stand behind.

@MelSpyRose if u want i have an idea about how u can fix Bride of Megatron.
          	  In my opinion, u can make Jack helps Megs to be better and tells him "I will help u be better for the sake of mom ONLY"
          	  Megs accepts that. But after a while, June will find out his identity in a VERY bad situation when Megs FINALLY changed FOR REAL

          	  To be totally honest, I was disappointed of Bride of Megatron. At first I thought it was a friendly love story. Until in later chapters, the story became a nightmare. For me at least. And I TOTALLY agree and support with ur decision about focusing on Forbidding Sparks because for now it's good and I can't wait to see what happens next ♡
          	  And btw, I am sorry about what happened to u :'(

Hi, I just want to make a quick update. Today, I have a list of unfinished drawings and webcomics from my DeviantART gallery that I need to finish and color one at a time so that my incomplete drawings are finished. In the meantime, I want you guys to know that I won't be releasing another chapter of "Bride of Megatron" and will instead work on my other TFP June Darby x Megatron fanfic AU called "Forbidden Sparks," which takes place in the Orionverse rather than a different fanfic AU. The reason I want to focus on making more chapters of "Forbidden Sparks" is that I'm not happy with how the relationship between June and Megatron was portrayed in "Bride of Megatron." due to it being a cringey "love story" now that I look at the fanfic that I rewrote more than once. In "Forbidden Sparks," however, the relationship between Jack's single mother and the Decepticon warlord is much better written, not toxic or forced, and more of a slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers story that's healthier and more realistic. In a way, I intend to make TFP: "Forbidden Sparks" a better version of "Bride of Megatron," where June doesn't get into a relationship with Megatron until years later, after he turns good. For now, Bride of Megatron will be postponed until I decide how to give it a proper ending. Thank you all for reading, and I hope you all have a good summer vacation.

@MelSpyRose the fact that you publish them and show bad bheavior as not to imitate does not mean that toxic relationship are romanticized

@MelSpyRose if it is better for your ideas to focus on Forbidden sparks earlier, up to you :-) there is nothing bad anyway to test harder themes

Another thing I forgot to mention is that the real reason why I prefer "Forbidden Sparks" over "Bride of Megatron" is because I'm done taking inspiration from Bride of Discord since I no longer approve nor wish to be okay with stories about sexual slavery, romanticizing abuse, or forced marriages. As a woman who's been a target and victim of sexual harassment before, I no longer want to create terrible fanfics or stories that involve sexism and misogyny to give my readers the wrong idea that I support sexism in real life when really I'm against sexism and misogyny in real life. So, you won't be seeing me posting stories like Bride of Megatron or Bride of Starscream anymore because I've finally woken up and realized that it's wrong to write stories that romanticize abuse and sexism. I hope you understand why I had to make this change.

Greetings, everyone. It's me again. I've decided to update "Transformers: Prime: The Bride of Megatron" by giving it a new cover, which I'm currently drawing, and then I'll be updating the story with new chapters and rewriting previous chapters to make them look better since my writing skills has improved since last time. As such, I will be releasing the next chapter and updating the fanfic with a new cover.
