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 [livejournal.com profile] shei'S FAULT!

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

... 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.

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.

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*

*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.

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.

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?

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.

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.]

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