How many chapters of a multi-chapter fic should i write before I start publishing it?
And... do I really need a beta reader, or naw?
An Opinion About Megatron
So, lemme just start by addressing this one song called 'I'm Gonna Win' - by Rob Cantor. Desc below will be long so yeah :D If you want the summarise go to the very end.
I've been listening to this song multiple times actually, and eventually i slowly to really soak the lyrics and what it could possibly means. That and i've been into TF for a while now. Megatron became one of characters i liked, it came from someone explaining how tragic a Vehicon's life is, from then on i start to dig out some things about Decepticons. And its very interesting in my opinion. Especially the cause of their risings and why they did this even though they have strayed far from the original reason in the long run. Their reasons are from what i found and summarise is: to eliminate the unfair system of Cybertron, ultimately to put an end to it and to achieve change. This came because Megatron is treated unfairly as a miner-slave right? He was an expandable Miner before he became a gladiator. He saw the corruption within Cybertron's Leaders [𝘐 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘢 𝘭𝘰𝘵 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘪𝘵 𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘸𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘢𝘴 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘶𝘱𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘳𝘶𝘯 𝘳𝘢𝘮𝘱𝘢𝘯𝘵.] And he wants [𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘮𝘦𝘥 𝘰𝘳 𝘸𝘪𝘴𝘩𝘦𝘥, 𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘢𝘸 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘳𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘺 𝘮𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩𝘵: 𝘠𝘦𝘢𝘩 𝘯𝘰, 𝘪𝘧 𝘯𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘢𝘪𝘯'𝘵 𝘱𝘶𝘵𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘯 𝘦𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘪𝘵, 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘪'𝘭𝘭 𝘥𝘰 𝘪𝘵 𝘮𝘺𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧] to change the systems because he's there, he lives in it, and he doesn't like how unfair it is. Thats why he brings up the whole revolution thing, theres a line from Megatron that says: "The name was meant to demonize us. Instead, we wear it as a badge of honor for if speaking the truth is deception then we are gladly guilty." I think it meant to address how Megatron started this whole thing for the good of the lower caste and how many doesn't agree to it. Tbh, TFP Megatron is a whole goof in this. There is a lot more i wanted to say but the post will be too long and its getting late for me.
I'm very new to the fandom, just been here for a few months and read a lot of in-lore fics- thats where my knowledge about TF builds up because theres actually really great authors with deep knowledge about TF's lores and character's background. What i really wanted to say is the song above suits well with Megatron, just my opinion. Theres a lot phrases that i think will describe Megs's life journey and his a chunk of his motive.
