I am unable to write, whilst waiting for the ability to post my Epic AU, so I was fiddling with icons. I should make a batch for 2x12 and 2x13, but I don't think it's going to happen. I still can't look at anything from 2x12 and I have no interest in icons for 2x13 beyond making Hunith, Merlin, Balinor manips.

SPEAKING of those kinds of manips.

I did mention I had a tumblr right?

Well I'm rather fond of how this Pendragon Family Portrait came out. Perhaps more like that on the way. I don't know.

I think I was trying to make a new layout (stuck between Katie and Morgause, it's a tough toss up) and then randomly made that blend, which I'm kind of ridiculously pleased with. Erk.

Happy New Year everyone, I really hope 2010 is a good one for all of you. Because you all made 2009 a much better one for me.

People that commented on my meme yesterday. I love you all and I'd be more than happy to be taken captive by any of you! Or all of you, seriously, that would be the most awesome holiday ever.

I feel very futuristic and daring today. I might have to do something drastic like change my journal layout. Or possibly, make it a slightly different shade of blue?

Instead of a year round up, or some resolutions for the new year I'm going to do this. I did this three years ago, but I've updated it and expanded it in honour of it officially being 'The Future!'

So here we are, in The Future, and there are a few things I'm annoyed we don't have yet, things perhaps that were promised to us in the fifties or sixties, or even the eighties. Things we took for granted that we would have by the year 2010. I'm more than a little disappointed that none of them have happened yet!

It's been over a year since I fell in love with the boys to whom this comm is dedicated. And what a year it's been! As a little treat, I've decided to say goodbye to 2009 by sharing a few fics that have gotten me through this last week, and that I feel deserve special mention.


This way to my last rec of this decade...

Three short fics set in the same modern university AU and focusing primarily on Gwen/Morgana, with background Arthur/Merlin, as well as appearances from Will, Edwin and Lancelot. Intended as a series, but can be read as stand-alone fics.

Written for, and beta'd by, the brilliant vensre .

Title: Clouds In My Coffee..
Rating: PG.
Pairings: Gwen/Morgana, background Arthur/Merlin.
Warnings/Spoilers: None.
Wordcount: 1,895.
Summary: Modern university AU. Gwen is working late in the library, but she's not as forgotten as she thinks she is.


Title: Perfect Fit
Rating: PG.
Pairings: Gwen/Morgana, background Arthur/Merlin.
Warnings/Spoilers: None.
Wordcount: 2,184
Summary: Gwen finally makes it to the Slug and Lettuce, intent on a quiet night out before Christmas. But the rest of the gang have other plans :D


Title: The Cure All
Rating: PG.

Warnings/Spoilers: None.
Wordcount: 1,800.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY!!

Also, happy birthday to this guy:

I nearly forgot it was the end of the month as well as the end of the year!
( December 2009 Fic Round Up )

I would have been feeling pathetic for not doing anything party-like for New Year's Eve, except that when one has cramps of the monthly sort it's really just best to stay at home with chocolate.

2010 New Year Resolutions

1) Procrastinate only the least important stuff.
2) Write more, read more.
3) But also sleep more.
4) Stop that habit of playing with/tugging at hair when bored. Knit instead.
5) See cockroach, kill cockroach.

I couldn't resist this meme and its humourous and slightly sinister nature. Stolen from half a dozen people

If you had me alone, locked up in your house for twenty-four hours and I had to do whatever you wanted me to, what would you have me do?  All comments will be permanently screened because it's a secret. Then, repost this in your lj. You might be surprised with the responses you get.

Hello,
my sister is searching for a pic of the Pendragon Crest for school project and we were unable to find a good one.We found a lot of pics for the flag of Wales and so on. So I come to you for help.

Furthermore she wanted to know the name of the dragon. I remember that he was named in the last episode but I was unable to understand its name correctly.

Title: I'm All Alone
Artist: Spamalot OST
Vidder: Genie
Summary: Arthur is all alone...at least that's what he thinks.
Notes: One last ditch effort to produce something fannish before 2009 ends. Not quite sure it turned out as cracky as it was supposed to be... but I think it turned out ok. What do you think?
Spoilers: All of s1 and s2 to be safe.
Format: mp4 (Quick Time/VLC)
Length: 3:25min
Feedback: Yes please!

NGH.

GUYS. SERIOUSLY.

It's pretty much done. I just need like four more chapters Brit Picked and the Epilogue looked over which shouldn't take too long, since all the major beta edits are done.

I've got the Soundtrack Post all written out, everything is pretty much formatted, just have to write out end notes and then when it's finally edited (whichIhopegodissoon) I can post this sucker.

SEVENTY SIX THOUSAND WORDS. THAT IS LIKE TWO BIG BANGS. Let's simmer on that again. (It might have ended up being longer, I have not gotten a new word count yet, urk).

Either way. I am like READY TO ROLL ON THIS BAD BOY. Like I birthed a hippo or something.

Random sort of point out moment too. You should check out the tarot project if you haven't on drawmelot some of the cards posted have been awesome, I'm particulary BLOWN AWAY by phoq's cards including Uther (who is scary as hell and AMAZING) and the Isle of the Blessed. We have such awesome artists in this fandom. ♥

Title: Mad Season
Rating: PG-13 (at the moment)
Genre: AU, Romance, Drama
Warnings: Language, other than that nothing really. [The PG-13 is there just because of the language]
Word Count: 627
Summary: The Magic Man, Sorcerer, Devil--he's a soul that goes by many names and it's Arthur Pendragon's, MI6 Senior Agent, job to catch him. Merlin Emrys, his secretary is a bit of an incompetent nitwit in Arthur's eyes--at least until all the pieces truly fall in place and Arthur finds himself trying to decide between duty and love.
Notes: *meep* This is me diving head-first into the fandom. Hopefully, I'll come out alive. :) If anyone would like to offer their beta services it would be much obliged as well!

Rating: NC17
Warning/Spoiler: Slashy and some spoiler up to 2X4
Summary: Arthur finds a new punishment for Merlin, and a series of accidents lead them to discover they could be more than master and servant.

Is there a fic (or fics heh) out there based on the following video, specifically the lines:

B: Your cheekbones are kicking right off on this shot, mate.
C: Are they?
B: Oh yeah.
C: Are you liking them?
B: *pause* Hello, ladies!

NC-17 preferred, but any rating is fine. Please and thank you!! :)
