Merlin

Oh, look ... at least I didn't download it.

I've spent the weekend recovering and working on an enjoyable but intense beta, so I thought I deserved an hour off, and it was starting on free-to-air TV here, so I succumbed.

All of you Merlin people were completely right, it is absolutely pre-slashed. Was it written by one of Russell T Davies' ex-boyfriends?

On the whole, amusing and diverting and extremely slash friendly, but I will have to turn off my critical brain if I plan to watch any more. Pretty lads aside, it was a case of 'wrong clothes, wrong saddle, wrong architecture, wrong fruit, wrong …'

I should have just focussed on that Bradley fellow. Though he is a wee bairn, is it all right given that I have the same birthday as Germaine Greer?

Like Ravenclawbest said above - No one watches if for the historical accuracy. Just like you don't watch Doctor Who for the scientific accuracy.
Besides, those boys are insanely adorable, and Bradley is gorgeous. How can you resist?
And you can see it as AU!Harry/Draco - the brunette brave boy and the spoiled blond with the evil dad, that fall in love against the odds. So it doesn't even feel like cheating on your OTP...

I cannot resist the lure of the Bradley, he's ludicrously pretty. I went out with a boy who was that pretty once and I had to break it off as I would just end up staring at him when he was talking.

Oh gods, you know you have just sent a fully-fledged crossover into my head, thanks for that :-P

You lead a v. interesting life =D <3

X-over whee! Have you read this genfic where Draco's the reincarnation of Merlin? (written pre-BBC Merlin)
IMO Merlin/Arthur is more Remus/Sirius than H/D, really. And Slash Dragon = Dumblie.

You know, you may have something there!

And I have not read that fic, do you have the link?

"The Misadventures of Merlin Malfoy" by wandmaker (HP, Draco gen)
Summary: And you thought Draco Malfoy had an ego problem before? Just wait till he discovers his identity from a previous life!

It's cute like a very cute thing that you can't bring yourself to drown.

What do you mean you don't watch Doctor Who for the scientific accuracy? ;)

I loved Christopher Eccleston. It's a pity he was replaced.

I loved him too. Took me 2 seasons to get used to David, but now I love them both.

:( And now he's gone too...
