Merlin fic brewing....

[icarus]

Okay, okay, so I swore I'd write no Merlin fic before its time. I'd finish my massive WiP first (which is getting close to done... ten scenes before I hit a major pre-written section from this summer... 20 scenes beyond that... visualize a bridge, with most of it built, and large struts sticking out of the water, it's like that).

But just one little Merlin fic? After I write the next four scenes of Out Of Bounds? I'll be good.

Merlin is very enticing isn't it? Can't you just hear his little voice in your head saying "write me icarus, write me," as his eyes flash gold :D

The best thing ever: I'm taking Arthurian Literature right now. I just talked it over with my professor, and he loves the idea of my writing an 8-page paper comparing the new series Merlin with the textual sources, what they're tweaking, what they're basing it on to keep it still "Arthurian" (having Geoffrey of Monmouth as the historian is a big clue they do know the sources).

Merlin's my homework. Can life get any better?

Dooooo eeeeeeet! *enables*

I have a decision to make. The story wants to be longer.

Do I post it in two parts? One part now, the next part in a week or two. Or do I hold off on it?

[lavvyan.livejournal.com]

Ohh, I'm torn. Though I'm all about the instant gratification, so. Ahem. ;)

But just one little Merlin fic?

Yes, yes, a thousand times yes! Please? *puppy eyes* *Merlin's puppy eyes* (Look how cute he is - don't you want to write him right now?)

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Oh, mew, I want to write him.

I have fic. But it seems to be the first half of a two-part fic. Do I hold it in my back pocket, or post it, and do the next part in a couple weeks?

[janne-d.livejournal.com]

Hmm. Tricky. I would hold onto it, but that's because I have a fear of posting a WIP and not finishing it and then having to slink off in mortification. You don't seem to have that issue, though.

I would say post it if you have some idea what the second part will be.

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

The second part is written in detailed notes, it just needs to be fleshed out. And I see you found it. *g*

[rodneyscat.livejournal.com]

That was a rhetorical question, right?

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

I'm taking a poll. I have committed fic. Yet it feels like half of a story.

Do I post it in two parts? Or do I sit on it for later?

The Slash Dragon would say it's your destiny! :D

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Clearly I have no choice. *smiles*

I CANNOT WAIT
it has been a WHILE since our fandoms crossed paths hahaha

Hello again. Magic seems to be a mutual lure.

[elvinborn.livejournal.com]

yes. definitely. totally completely acceptable.

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

I am stymied. I've written the fic. But it wants to be the first half of something longer. Do I post it as a two-parter, or hold in my back pocket for later?

[elvinborn.livejournal.com]

oooooh, such a choice!
I'm thinking post as two-parter. mostly because I'm greedy. ;)

Merlin spawns plot bunnies from thin air. It does. I just watched episode 10 today and died multiple times throughout. SO MANY POSSIBILITIES. So I can't really blame you...

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

It's wonderful....

If you write Merlin fic, the world will be a better place. :)

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

More Merlin fic in general makes the world a better place.

As much as I'm dying for you to end Out of Bounds (I have an strictly rule about not reading WIPS, because I've been burned too much) I believe a little tiny bit of Merlin fanfiction wouldn't hurt *g*
And... isn't this show awesome in his cute cheesy way? I fall in love almost instantly with it *happy sigh*

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

I love this show. I think I fell for it during the opening credits.

No, no, I know when it was. I was enjoying it from the get-go, but when Merlin sat in his window overlooking Camelot in the first episode, the kid awed by the big city -- I know that feeling. It had me from that moment.

I wrote a little more Out Of Bounds. Then I wrote a little Merlin fic, about ~4,000 words. Trouble is, it wants to be longer. These two (Merlin and Arthur) can talk, can't they?

[birggitt.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes! They can. Not that I'm complaining ;)
