Merlin stuff

[hils]

Maybe I'm getting the hang of writing Merlin/Arthur now. My latest merlinadvent fic is back from beta with just a few minor grammar changes. WHEE! Considering how many alterations I had to make to my merlin_the_elf fic, which is a similar length, I consider this a victory!

I have a question now that the series is over

MOMENT OF TRUTH FOR THE WIN!!!!

*grin*

[hils.livejournal.com]

It was really hard for me to pick one. LOL!

[lisson17.livejournal.com]

oddly enough quite easy for me. I have two main favourites, The Poisoned Chalice and Moment of Truth, but i have utter complete amazing love for MoT.

It has so many moments of slashness and UST....

[hils.livejournal.com]

Excalibur is the one that inspired me to write not one but two fics so I chose it on that basis. LOL!

[lisson17.livejournal.com]

lol, fair point. PC is the one that inspired my first fic, and yet it's still not my favourite. Though i do love the Merlin-in-bed-calling-Arthur-to-go-faster moment *grin*

[hils.livejournal.com]

Hee! Yes, that is brilliant

Gates of Avalon inspired my first fic but it's not my favourite

[lisson17.livejournal.com]

you know, i don't think i even wrote any fics specifically inspired by MoT, i think i was mid-Destiny when it was on, but it's the one i'm looking forward to most having on dvd.

I think that defines perfectly why it's my favourite...that, and the foot moment *sighs*

[hils.livejournal.com]

Oh, I love that foot moment. And the scene on the balcony at the beginning *sighs*

[lisson17.livejournal.com]

THAT IS THE MOST BESTEST SCENE OF THE ENTIRE SHOW!!! seriously, i actually love it.

[hils.livejournal.com]

It actually made me melt

[lisson17.livejournal.com]

i know, me too! just the look on Arthur's face when Merlin said he was leaving, and the bit where he asked if Merlin was coming back and he wasn't and Arthur cried and kissed him and they had hot mansex....hang on....wait...that last part may only have happened in my head :-D

[hils.livejournal.com]

LOL!!! Mine too!

[lisson17.livejournal.com]

hehe, i think it may have happened in quite a few of our minds, it's therefore quite amazing it didn't actually happen in real life, i.e Colin and Bradley suddenly jump into bed together due to fangirl fantasies :-D

[hils.livejournal.com]

Hee!!

I'm actually surprised there was no fic about it

[lisson17.livejournal.com]

*screams and claps hands over eyes*

I DIDN'T SEE THAT PROMPT!! I DIDN'T!!!!!!!!

Also (in case you didn't see it today)

"...despite the cardboard castle set, Merlin has gradually worked a spell on me, mainly because newcomer Colin Morgan lends a decidedly offbeat presence to the title role, his spats with Bradley James as a boy racer Prince Arthur forever hovering on the edge of homoeroticism. At times it's felt like Brokeback Mountain with jousting sticks. But that's probably just me."

From the 'Weekend's TV Review' section in the Metro. General response from everyone who's seen the quote is "IT'S NOT JUST YOU!!" ;)

MOMENT OF TRUTH. You cannot beat the episode where the main character brings the boyfriend home to meet the in-law and the ex, and save the village in the process. Cannot. Beat. Srsly. <3333

[hils.livejournal.com]

Hehe!

[hils.livejournal.com]

Hoorah!

Well, when my mum starts commenting on how gay it is it must be pretty obvious. LOL!

[hils.livejournal.com]

Hee! Yes, that is true

[iltaru]

*cough*

Hello... quiet lurker here. I had to vote for the goblet-choosing scene (and requisite 'Princess Bride' references).

I love that you Britpick American writers' fics. I salute you!

(And I just spotted that you have a 'Stratford upon Avon' tag. That's basically my hometown :D Are you a Shakespeare fan too?)

[hils.livejournal.com]

Hi!

Oh, I am a huge Shakespeare fan. My trip to Stratford was like a pilgramage for me. Hee! It's such a beautiful place and I am very envious of you living there

[iltaru]

I actually live in Cardiff at the moment... seeing your pictures made me feel a little homesick, actually :P In the best possible way!

Oh SHAKESPEARE. (My mother gave me the RSC version of the Complete Works for Christmas. *grabbyhands*)

I take it you went to Hamlet, then?

...The first time I saw it, I couldn't speak for about two hours afterwards, I was so mindblown...

[hils.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I saw Hamlet. It was amazing!

I love Cardiff too! Hee! Went there last year as well *g*
