One does not "hang" the Queen

Happened across my first "real" Gwen-bashing fic. Why? No, seriously, why? It's bad enough when authors push her to the background or make her incredibly out of character just to fit the needs of their fic and OTP, but bash her on top of that as well?

She's a main character and a rather awesome one at that. Where's the OT4 love? There's no need to make her wallpaper, or worse.

Need to make an icon or image or something that has a sort of wallpaper effect with her coming out of it. Ooh, I think I have an idea how to, if only I was not at work.

We are not amused...

This is what happens when I a) get ticked off, b) get an idea, and c) have far too much time to play around with it.

Explanation:
Came across a fic this afternoon that bashed Gwen (figuratively, not in a hurt/comfort kind of way) to allow Merlin and Arthur to be together even though we all know she's only a threat to any pairing involving Morgana *g*. I could not tell if this was better or worse than the times she's written as either incredibly out of character, or just shoved to the background like a piece of wallpaper. Thus, the image(s).
