Merlin theory. Basically when the writers wrote the first series of Merlin they had to make it so that the series could (theoretically) be discontinued after ep13 without any major overhanging plotlines. This meant they had to do a lot of character development to the two main characters; Arthur and Merlin. Which meant Arthur went from being a complete prat into a half-decent guy and it meant that the Merlin/Arthur slash got off to one hell of a start. Come late S1 they know they're going to get a second series and they realise they've left Gwen out quite a bit. So we get the forced 'moments' in Ep10 and Ep13. Season 2 starts and the writers finally realise that Arthur has developed as a character but... he's developed because of the wrong character. He's developed because of Merlin. So the Arthur/Merlin relationship is very strong and the Arthur/Gwen relationship is little more than 'oh I know that person'. So they had to reduce Arthur to being a prat so Gwen could fix him and, consequently, they had to reduce Merlin's role. So Merlin is now the comic relief and Arthur is back to being MORE of a prat than he was ep1/2 of Season 1. Morgana is also now too much of a main character so she needs to be reduced to make way for Gwen. Unfortunately because of the lack of characterisation done in S1 Gwen kind of fails. Then they started the Gwen/Arthur/Lancelot triangle TOO EARLY. And it's really awkward because Gwen and Arthur have no chemistry but Gwen and Lancelot DO. Erm yeah. Rambling. Also, wank-mag. PICS PLZ Yep pretty much what you wrote makes sense. And I love Gwen/Lancelot they have so much chemistry. Gwen and Arthur is meh, unlike Merlin and Arthur, I really hate the way they've gone backwards with them - So that Arthur is a right tit to Merlin :/

Somebody write some bloody porn! Are you hinting at something? Because we have a grand total of four fics currently. And I wrote three of them. Although I am going to offer one free fic to you as pre-emptive thanks for the banner. (I fail at computer art and I can't afford a tablet) Picture is here

Re: the other cap, of the picture on their wall. SO PRECIOUS! Thanks for posting it, I never would've seen it otherwise.
I read SomniumPuella's fic but didn't even know it was based on anything.

I saw that and had to write about it. 'Photographs' honestly came out of nowhere. And I even worked that photo in there too.

LOL, "Street Boy"? That's...certainly an interesting kink to have. What episode is that even from? You have eagle eyes! Ep 3, right at the beginning when Maltravers is going through the desks draws and cupboards. Ya know, I would have mentioned it earlier but I thought everyone would have noticed ^^ As I've said before I do tend to notice little things like that...espically when they revolve around my fave characters ;D

Alright gang, it's been fun but there's a lot of work to be done so I really should go. Have fun then. Don't stay up too late, and don't do anything I wouldn't do

Nope not hinting, just prompting all the lovely writers on this forum that porn is requested and required ;D And you don't have to do anything for the banner, I would do it anyway cause I love doing stuff for other people

I'm still amused that I've written approximately half of all the Trinity fics on the internet.

I like fandoms where it's small enough that you know everyone but big enough that you get fic, graphics and fun things.
Single person fandoms kind of suck actually

It's nice being in a small fandom! Most fandoms can get a little overwhelming for me with the size of it. Right back to doing banners And crap I need to finish of VAT for father-in-laws company :/
