Life is about the journey not the destination.

A multifandom vid I made for the Annual Sci Fi and Fantasy-Friendly Service (aka the Church of Latter-Day Geeks; May 2014).

Made for educational purposes, not for profit. Thanks to ash48 and ageless_aislynn for their super-helpful early input. And also thanks to those who gave me clip idea on my earlier journal post without knowing why. You all rock! Hopefully it screened today at the sermon without a hitch. :D

I is for: Insomnia, Merlin, Arthur for charis_kalos

Erm, if anyone wants to prompt me, I may one day finish the alphabet. *grins*

This is an awesome Merlin Big Bang comm (i.e. sign up to write over 30,000 words or make art) and signups open 1 February 2011.

You can also sign up to beta read or cheer lead. :)

The Sorcerer and the King by Winterhill (Arhtur/Merlin, Gwen/Lancelot, other cast and OCs)

Summary: Canon AU -- Merlin's death is only the beginning; with no-one to protect the kingdom, Camelot falls to an enemy sorcerer and Arthur is forced to serve in the court that he once ruled. When an escape attempt goes horribly wrong, Arthur is rescued by someone he never expected to see again -- and it's their destiny to put things right.

Rec: This is Epic! Just brilliant and epic! The OCs are fabulous, the Merlin and Arthur she creates in this world where sorcery reigns are so right and the story is wonderfully plotty and had me clutching my heart and cheering them on in turns. I don't want to give away the plot at all, so just go read it.

Thank you flisties for your recs. I'm gonna read them all, yes I am. And this reminded me that I really need to raid the paperlegends archives. the_muppet, why did you not remind me of that?! *tuts* &hearts

Okay, so far my foray into Merlin fic has been super unsuccessful.

So far I'm unable to get into any of the pairings and I think it's because usually I get pulled into fandoms based on awesome long gen (or gen that turns into a pairing/not just PWP) fics. In this case, that'd be something with an adventure and magic and baddies and you know... a plot.

So far all I've found is PWP and badly written... well I won't go into it, but some poorly written stuff. I must not be looking in the right places.

Any help? I don't mind if there's a pairing that is developed through the story because of their super awesome adventure. But come on, this is a series with magic and dragons and princes and knights... surely there must be some plotty fics out there. Right?

Help me fabulous flisties. Please.

I love the show and wanna get into it in a fandom way. I'd love to write it at some time in the future. But right now I'm BORED and I want fic I care to read.

*puppy-eyes you all*

OMGOMGOMGOMG! *bounce* Best episode ever!
The banter between ( those people ) and the whole scene with the ( stuff ) and the way that it all tied in so nicely and Gwen seeing ( something ) and just eeeeeee! \o/

Merlin FTW!

Oh Merlin. How much do I love you, let me count the ways.

Most of my shows are boring me this season. No idea why, but I'm just blah about shows I used to rave about. But Merlin never fails to make me chuckle and squee and want to throw things at the TV. And is Merlin getting more handsome? Has he put on a little weight or something? Just he never did it for me and all of a sudden... yeah anyway.

And in other random, is anyone at all familiar with BOTH Sherlock and Inception and maybe interested in hashing out a few plot points with me?

I'm a little stuck and Arthur, John, Sherlock and Cobb are staring at me like "well?". At least Eames is sleeping off a bender on the settee, so he's not so mad at me. O_o

Has anyone seen any Merlin icons with Morgana and the text *evil smirk* or do I just have to make my own? Anyone? There must be some. Right?

The Hitchhikers Guide to Camelot by chayiana

Pure crack! I adore this! And it was made for vid_the_grid which makes me really happy! :D

Morgana got fuzzy and Merlin looks evil, but I still like it okay. I think I might replace Merlin with a coloured square or Margane. lol



Edit: Just edited to take out evil-looking Merlin. I think it is more balanced now. :)
