Sarah Jane's smile forms destiny.

Now, you won't be seeing a lot of me for about a week. I'm going to my cousin's wedding tomorrow, then I'll be in S. for a short time, without my computer, which will be quite the experiment. But it doesn't make much sense to carry around a laptop without a functioning monitor.
Tell me if something important happens. Tell me if someone writes good Merlin fic. Email and comments should reach me.

Unrelated, #1: I dreamt that I was Wolverine, but I lived in my flat, and a girl who claimed to live in the the flat below mine wanted me to sign a form that said I wouldn't play loud music anymore. Wolverine was very confused. Then he got a distress call, and he ran to the playground where Nick Fury, Black Widow and some others were under attack. He jumped elegantly over the playground wall and saved Nick Fury's life. It was kind of romantic. Then we ran away from the playground and everything exploded around us. Adventure!

Unrelated, #2: Yesterday I was depressed due to hormones, so I wrote something to make me feel better. It was supposed to have three sentences. Uhm. I'm posting it because it made me happy and I think it might work for [info]shiun, too, but it's not really anything. It also has Spoilers for Merlin ep. 1, and an smiling in overdose. )

Have a good week, will you? :)

this post is hidden under layers of squee.

I'm way to tired to write an even remotely reasonable entry, but my dragons grew up and I have two new eggs that need views. So I'll have to talk about something in order to conceal the true purpose of this post.

The best choice of things to talk about would of course be Merlin, not only because it is so very brilliant, but also because I need proof that I've been there at the early days of the fandom. If I don't contribute, how will I be able to say "I started watching Merlin shortly after the third episode aired for the first time", showing off in front of the hundreds of young newcomers who are going to search for fic in five years time? You know, like me. I always come late to fandoms, SJA and Merlin are notable exceptions.

Everyone already talked about this. And my brain doesn't work so well just now because it wants sleep. So, just one thing.

I'm pretty sure the series has a lot more than teh mega slash potential.
As you know, I like slash, but I'm not a real slasher, being equally interested in het, femslash, polyfic and sometimes even in non-shippy stuff if it's good.
When I decide whether I really like a TV or comics series, these days I seem to be all about the teams - the 'main cast' and the chemistry between them, plus the location where it all takes place. Both is brilliant here; all the characters rock. Camelot and the whole (fanfic!)legendary scenario draws me in.
This might also have to do with my other fandoms at the moment, most of which seem to include Excalibur, Great Britain or at least fairies. And yes, of course there are lots of crossovers in my head.

The only thing on TV that is as great as Merlin is The Sarah Jane Adventures. It is so wonderful, I have no words. (I'm so in love with Sarah Jane.) If you like one of these series, you should watch the other. They have the same strenghts and so far none of the weaknesses most other TV programmes show.
I am proud to say:

MY FANDOMS CAN APOLOGIZE WHEN THEY DID SOMETHING MEAN. MY FANDOMS CAN SAY THANK YOU WHEN THEIR FRIENDS SAVED THEIR LIVES. MY FANDOMS CAN MAKE THEIR FANS HAPPY.

Now, dragons.
Adopt one today! Adopt one today!
I adopted the green egg; the orange one is Fyr and Sajasi's child.

[Fic] Antwort aufs Crossover-Meme, 2: Tapferkeit, Freunde und Roboter

Zweite Antwort aufs Crossover-Meme. Ihr könnt euch gerne noch mehr wünschen, das Schreiben macht eine Menge Spaß.

Fandoms: The Sarah Jane Adventures/ Doctor Who
Für: [info]khana
Charaktere: Maria Jackson & der zehnte Doctor
Anm.: SPOILER für DW 3x13 Last of the Timelords, und ein kleinwinziger Spoiler für Voyage of the Damned.
Okay, es ist nicht so richtig ein Crossover, weil es dasselbe Universum ist, und sogar dieselbe Zeit. Aber egal.

Tapferkeit, Freunde und Roboter )
