Come on, I know you've all been reading Merlin fic! Where's the good stuff?

Has anyone found any good Merlin (anyone can be in it) really adventurous sword-fighting, horse-riding, magic-weilding.... etc. fic? I am having withdrawals.

I know you'll probably all find it odd, but I actually have no desire to read Merlin/Aurthur at this point. But I'd LOVE some good close-friendship gen. I'm sure if I hang around long enough the slash will grow on me, like with SGA. It made a nice change. I just need to wait for you all to find the good authors so I'm not put off immediately. :P


Oooh haha! I knew there must be Morgana/Gwen femmeslash. *flips through comm* Lets hope there's something fun! EDIT: Nope it's cringe-worthy. *shudders and goes to find gen*

Don't suppose there's be Morgana and Gwen Gen? That'd be way cooler. Two sword-weilding women kicking butt and fobbing off the boys... :)

And I want a nice icon! I just can't make a nice Morgana or Gwen icon. Weird! Actually all my attempts at Merlin icons have failed miserably. Hmm.

Oooh! oooh! me too! alas, I've only seen a couple of Merlin/Arthur ones so far, and that's because they're from an author I keep an eye on. A lot of people are getting into the fandom, though, I bet we'll get some great fic yet!

I see you found camelot_haven I am about to approve your membership. Hopefully the non slash fic will start coming in droves :). I'm the same though, I can't hack the slash, but love the friend stuff.

There is also merlin_drabble for non-slash drabbles, but no one has posted there yet.

I love the sword fighting and horse riding! My favourite part of Merlin is the swishing of swords LOL.

I'd love to read some as well because I'm off shipping Merlin as he just reminds me too much of my brother... I can sort of do Merlin/Morgana future magical rivalry fics but nothing else because too squicky otherwise.

I've mainly been reading Arthur/Morgana myself, but I figured gen must be out there somewhere...

As for icons, there's no shortage of them in this fandom - check out merlin_tv. There's about 10 or so icon posts per day right now! I even had a go at Merlin icons lately, but can't speak as to whether you'd consider any of mine nice.
