Still behind on replies - sorry! With the work situation the way it is, this may continue for a while.

In positive news, I am actually writing again! Like, on a semi-regular basis even! Thank you, noise-canceling headphones and Bluetooth keyboard for iPad! (The mini is still hosed, but we got the keyboard to work.)

Which brings us to... A new Merlin challenge!


Merlin University Fest


We had been talking about something like this on [community profile] camelot_fleet a while ago, so it is very cool to see this up and running. Best part is that you can prompt for some of the lesser written for but not lesser loved characters as well! *cough*Freya*cough*Elena*cough*Vivian*cough*

At the very least, there should be some new uni-based fic on its way!

And that is quite enough exclamation points for me in one morning, especially pre-caffeine.

Okay, so I have had this fic idea in my head for well over a week, possibly two weeks or more, and I am seeing scenes and the like and trying to figure out how to piece them all together. The problem is that I currently have the attention span of a brained iguana and I also want to finish a Fringe fic before next week's new episode Josses it all for me.

The other problem is that I will either need a complete rewatch of Series 3 of Merlin (and this is where I admit I still have not seen all of Series 4 due to tech issues that are now resolved and the near permanent grounding of the kidlings), or extensive use of the Merlin Wiki to make sure I get the order of things correct. Not that either of these are a bad thing.

So, the question is, would anyone even be interested in reading a Merlin/Morgana-centric angsty retelling/AU of at least the first part of Series 3?

Or should I finish one of the other WIPs before adding to the pile?

[community profile] camelot_fleet, where is your Finish-a-thon when I need you? *head desk*

Okay, so earlier this year after "The Coming of Arthur" aired, we were talking over at [community profile] camelot_fleet about Leon's immortality. This got lost, found, set on the back burner, and then dug out again this week because the awesomeness of Peter Wingfield happened to guest star on the new show Alphas. This is the result.

Title: Chivalry Isn’t Dead (It’s Just Resting Its Eyes)
Genre: Crossover – Highlander/Merlin
Pairings: implied Merlin/Leon, implied Merlin/Gwaine or facsimile thereof, implied Merlin/Arthur (he gets around)
Rating: PG-13
Length: ~2,500 words
Spoilers: For the myths only, though could be seen as slight spoiler for the end of Series 3 (The Coming of Arthur). Also, Methos exists.
Synopsis: Duncan is going to need something amber and aged at least fifteen years to process this.

Okay, so I have a ridiculously high number of invite codes for Dreamwidth because a) they just sent me two emails full of them for some reason, and b) I may have, possibly, forgotten to offer some really old ones a while back.

Comment or PM me if you want one/some, otherwise I am thinking of offering at least some to [community profile] camelot_fleet’s bank for use at parties and other events.

Sigh… parties… I do miss them so. Maybe someone’s up for a hiatus-breaker party? Or maybe a just-because-we-can party? Or even a hey-the-sky-is-blue-and-I-have-chocolate party?

Title: Realms
Genre: pre-slash: Arthur/Merlin, tiny bit of het: Gwen/Lancelot
Rating: R for violence
Length: ~45,000 words - Complete
Spoilers: Through Series 2, AU after the end of Series 2
Warnings: Violence, death of minor original characters
Synopsis: A portal has opened in Gaius’ rooms between Merlin’s realm and one very much like it, only on the other side magic was never banned and can be used freely without pain of death. Needless to say, Merlin has fallen through this portal more than once.
Author’s Notes: OMG, it’s done! Oh-so-many thanks to the awesome [livejournal.com profile] threnodyjones for the beta job on this monster, and to all the excellent cheerleaders over at [community profile] camelot_fleet for their support as I tried to wrap this up for the Finish-a-thon. This ended up far longer than originally intended, but tells the tale I wanted to get out, so I hope people are willing to give it a chance.
Secondary Notes: Suaimhneas = Irish for quiet, peaceful.

Just a quick double drabble that popped to mind when [community profile] camelot_fleet had a check in for the Finish-a-thon that mentioned a curious Merlin. Also, a friendly reminder that the [livejournal.com profile] help_japan auction is still going on, but not for much longer. If you are interested in bidding on one of my stories, or any of the other wonderful things on offer, please check it out.

Title: Curious
Genre: pre-slash, Arthur/Merlin

So I just signed up for [livejournal.com profile] fringeminibang, with the goal of writing a 10K story in a fandom I barely dabble in with a canon I'm afraid of messing with. Yeah, oops?

This is on top of the Finish-a-thon that is starting up over at [community profile] camelot_fleet as well. Oh, and two new projects that were just handed to me at work in addition to my usual workload. This may take a lot of chocolate.

On the up side, the deadlines don't really overlap too much, so there's that?

Oh, and [livejournal.com profile] fringeminibang is still looking for artists, if anyone wants to toss their hat into the ring! Everything for hand drawn to manips to icons are accepted, if anyone is interested.

Almost forgot to post this:

The Guards!verse Lexicon is up and open for public viewing over at [personal profile] risingsunpub! The premise boils down to each of us having a character we wrote for who would stop by the pub at night to tell a tale. I was Maggie the whore. *is proud*

It was the first time I ever participated in something like this, and it was quite fun (even if I kept screwing up the linking portion of it and the kind other players helped fix everything for me).

Go click through to see what various less-than-nobles were doing and saying about a year after the dragon attack. Please note, this was pretty much written this summer, long before any of the third season/series aired. I love how some of the ideas lined up anyway based on logic, reasoning, and some clever people coming up with clever ideas.

Oh, and yes, this is the same Maggie who makes an appearance in The Adventure of the Tainted Cask [or on LJ].
