Eep! *blushes* (+ fic)

[fadagaski]

I have fallen, and fallen hard, for this guy *points to icon*. Merlin is probably the most awesome show EVAR. It has twice the amount of 'subtext' (HA) as just about everything except Queer as Folk (maybe), with more swashbuckling than Robin Hood: Men in Tights, and all the gleeful bantering of a really good Supernatural episode but without any filler whatsoever. Okay, so it's not 'deep', really, though it could be if it wanted to. But it doesn't want to! It is well aware that it is a teeny tiny BBC Wales production, about an overdone and really creepy (and weirdly Welsh-French hybridic - new word) legend, and takes great pains to be just about as historically anachronistic as possible. 6th century Severn potatoes, FTW!

Oh man, have I got it bad.

In honour of my new found love, I have ficced! Twice! During NaNo month! I AM FILLED WITH GLEE AND IT IS ALL shei'S FAULT!

I owe you, like, big time.

What do you want for Xmas?

[shei.livejournal.com]

All I want for Christmas is you.

[fadagaski.livejournal.com]

...

Fic?

[shei.livejournal.com]

Okay!

[fadagaski.livejournal.com]

Prompt me. I want to take my time over this fic.

[shei.livejournal.com]

Dkbjvcufigohpjnbvfuij.

[fadagaski.livejournal.com]

You're really no help at all, y'know. Don't blame me if your Christmas present is DEPRESSINGLY G-RATED.

[shei.livejournal.com]

Dude, making out (at least) is a given!

I want Excalibur. That sword turns me on something insane.

[fadagaski.livejournal.com]

Okay, so in conclusion we have:

Merlin making a semen-stained bed
Penises
Porn
Excalibur
PORN

Right?

[shei.livejournal.com]

I think you got it all yes.

Wait, beg.

[fadagaski.livejournal.com]

Oh right, right, almost forgot that. Thanks for reminding me.

This is going to be a fun Christmas.

[shei.livejournal.com]

:D

[inmemorybound.livejournal.com]

HOMG MERLIN. I love that show too. My dad was the first one to start ponting out the anachronisms, but me and mum watch it together every week!

*Goes to read your fic, like, NOW.*

[fadagaski.livejournal.com]

NO WAI! I love this show. It rocks my socks off, for srs. What's your favourite ep so far?

[inmemorybound.livejournal.com]

IDK OH GOD. They're all so good for different reasons. So hard to choose! >.> Maybe the one with the wraith knight. But the most recent one with Merlin's village was filled with so much wonderful tension.

I so need to marathon them all to really choose. XD

Yours? XD

[fadagaski.livejournal.com]

Without a doubt, The Poisoned Chalice. THEIR LOVE IS SO FULL OF EPIC UST. Also, "Faster, Arthur, go faster!" *ded*

Though I agree they're all awesome for different reasons.

So: Arthur or Merlin?

[belenustenebrae.livejournal.com]

I don't know how you do it, ficcing and nanoing. Goddess you are.

I will read&reply in hours, today brain is fuzz. And I have put time for fics tomorrow. Yayness.

The anachronisms make the show :) I get this high school clique feel from it and they didn't have high school in the middle ages. Modern Merlin pwns.

[fadagaski.livejournal.com]

ROFL. Arthur is totally an American jock.

I WILL BE FICCING INSTEAD OF NANOING AT THE BERN MEET. MWAHAHAHAHAAA.

[belenustenebrae.livejournal.com]

Yaynezz, I'll get to read it while you write!

If I don't get anything done Saturday, this time it will be ALL YOUR FAULT.

[fadagaski.livejournal.com]

... Yes, I can accept that change of facts. I will be to blame. I did, after all, BESTOW THIS FANDOM UPON YOU IN HONOUR OF YOUR BIRTHDAY EVEN THOUGH I HAD NEVER WATCHED IT BEFORE EITHER.

[belenustenebrae.livejournal.com]

I AM THANKFUL YOU DID.

It's been some time I've glomped something so tightly. I am addicted and happy.
Thank you, my sweet drug dealer and co-addict. Now I need/want/absolutely must have MORE.

[fadagaski.livejournal.com]

OMG the Pit of Voles. It's absolutely amazing the number of people trawling it. I got 129 hits for the fic about baby!Merlin in 24 hours. *flails*

[belenustenebrae.livejournal.com]

ô_ö
*is tempted*

Nah, I'll let you do all the toiling and grab the gold you might find. I haven't dared enter the Pit except on recs for years now.
You never know, Merlin might tempt me just enough.

[fadagaski.livejournal.com]

LOL! I try to avoid it, but FFVII fanfic is a little hard to find so sometimes you've just got to take a chance.

Merlin fic, though? I pity all those people who've never heard of LJ. All the best stuff is on here.

[belenustenebrae.livejournal.com]

Yes, I've noticed!
I was surprised there were already so many comms when I searched for 'Merlin' in the interests since this is a really new fandom.
Little theory: I think they're all ex-HPs in need of a new drug.
But then who wasn't part of HP?

[fadagaski.livejournal.com]

People are just naturally drawn to the BIG GAY PLOTHOLE. Plus, y'know, Merlin has a passing resemblance to Harry Potter in that he is magical, the chosen one, has black messy hair and green blue eyes.

[belenustenebrae.livejournal.com]

BIG GAY PLOTHOLE = <3

Wait, I thought Harry had blue eyes... BECAUSE IN THE MOVIES -
damn but did JKR really hammer it in about the green. Lily's eyes, Lily's eyes, Lily's eyes, Lily's eyes... Makes one wonder if it wasn't Snape who wrote the book.
[See I knew he wasn't dead. I'm not delusional.]

[fadagaski.livejournal.com]

Yes. JKR is actually Snape under a very complex Glamour. All is clear now. You have solved the greatest mystery known to wizardkind. *bows*

[kuteki.livejournal.com]

Yay! Merlin! It is my favourite thing right now, and it really is the gayest thing ever, I watch it with my brother and even he agrees.

[fadagaski.livejournal.com]

LOL. I love how pretty much everyone I know watches the show and immediately agrees

1) that it's awesome
2) that it's more bent than a coathanger.

So. Much. Win.
