There was no way I could not put drharper's work in. It was too brilliant. As to Ironhide and Will... I was really not looking forward to writing Sam Having Yet Another Conversation With Someone Else. Fortunately, since pretty much all the Autobots have known about that relationship for a while, Ironhide felt the same way and decided to spare me.

And Last Starfighter is awesome, underrated, and underused. I love it.

Given that DotM is going to joss probably everything I've written in this universe, anything I write for it will probably not be in the Simulacra'verse, no. Depending on what happens in the film, it'll either require just some oneshots, or perhaps require a whole new universe/sandbox for me to play in as RotF did.
