I'm really glad you commented on the flow. It's really hard to tell when you're writing with someone how obvious or jarring the breaks in POV are. I think what you may be noticing is not only that we have a bit more experience doing this now but also that we were a bit freer with the turns we took. I was still writing Megatron's parts and she was still writing Starscream's, but if one of us felt the other needed to respond in a certain way to something we'd keep going (and clear it with the other one.) We also had a better idea of exactly what we wanted to happen in this, in part because it was a bit less epic in scope. (Read: we wanted pr0nz. So we wrote some. XD)
I'm also glad that despite that this had much less plot, you still liked the bits we added in there about Decepticon culture and the understanding that we think Megatron and Starscream have. I know that's one thing I really like about meaisin's writing and I'm glad that part of our collaborative writing is interesting to you.
