Hi! I wanted to thank you for getting me into MTMTE and IDW transformers in general. The comic format is smth that's hard for me to get into, but The Echo Garden has given me enough motivation to try it again, and I have been having the time of my life.
I think so far the funniest experience of my backwards approach to this fandom has been learning which creative, amazing, amusing parts of your fic are, in fact, actual canon. I thought that things like Movie Night, Cyclonus' horrible signing, and some aspects of Swerve's bar were probably something you extrapolated yourself based on character dynamics. But apparently the source is just as fun, endearing and fascinating as your work. Despite all these "spoilers", I was still unprepared for the small mech piloting the massive mech that is Ultra Magnus to have actually had another mecha suit layer of protection all along. That made me laugh. Knowing which characters make it to the end has been comforting in the tenser moments of the comic, but has not stopped me from letting out a tear or two. So I don't think being spoiled has worsened my reading experience at all.
I can't wait to eventually return to The Echo Garden with a new-found appreciation for the crew. Right now, reading MTMTE feels like getting more of The Echo Garden. I imagine that later the inverse will become true. Thank you for your writing and thank you for the beautiful way you have captured this wonderful crew of characters. And thank you for introducing me to this side of the Transformers franchise I wasn't able to convince myself to try out before.
hello lovely anon!
ah, wow! thank you so much for this kind message! I've been sooo curious how it feels to read TEG first and then MTMTE, and you've sent me such a nice message about it!
as a huge fan of JRO's work in MTMTE, this part: Right now, reading MTMTE feels like getting more of The Echo Garden. feels astoundingly amazing to hear. thank you! and yes, I think the inverse will become true- I wrote TEG because I missed MTMTE so much!
I'm glad the spoilers didn't affect your enjoyment of MTMTE and I'm super glad you gave it another try! I really hope Skybound makes the comics available in print again, so folks can get their hands on it. it's a comic that deserves to be preserved and enjoyed =)
thank you again for the kind message! it felt really nice to receive ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ’Žโค๏ธ๐Ÿ’™
