This shiny new fandom's really taken off at LJ. I don't think that can be duplicated on IJ, but I would love to find other IJ Merlin fans so that my obsession doesn't bore everyone on my flist!



Oh, and floss!

Name: Lilith
Age: closer in age to Tony Head than Colin Morgan
What do you love about Merlin: The canon slash chemistry between Merlin and Arthur is what got me hooked. I also love seeing how the legends I grew up with are twisted. And it's all just so shiny!
Favourite ship(s): Merlin/Arthur most, also Gwen/Morgana, but everyone's so pretty -- I wouldn't be opposed to a pile of the 4+Lancelot with Nimueh watching.
Favourite character(s): It's changed -- at first it was Merlin, but it's turned into Arthur (probably due to my Bradley James obsession)
Least favourite character(s): Tauren -- I just didn't find him or his story convincing.
Favourite Episode: So hard to choose! But "The Labyrinth of Gedref" beats "The Moment of Truth" by a hair.
What do you hope for in the 2nd series? I want some development of Gwen. I love the idea of her, but she's quite the MarySue now and desperately needs some growth before they throw her and Arthur together. Also, of course, Arthur needs to learn about the magic and shag Merlin.
Other Fandoms: Bradley/Colin RPS!! Alles Was Zählt, Harry Potter, Torchwood, and SGA, but Merlin's stolen my heart
Other Ships: BJ/CM, Harry/Draco, DeRo, McShep
Anything Else: I need more Merlin friends, help!

Name: Sebastian
Age: Erm. A few years older than Angel Coulby.
What do you love about Merlin: I'm so there for the (slashy) chemistry between the characters, especially Arthur and Merlin. The twist on the stories is amusing, too, and simply that the show has a great balance between drama, suspense and comedy. I also think they've done a great job on developing the young characters, probably especially Arthur, but also Merlin and Morgana.
Favourite ship(s): Arthur/Merlin, for sure. But there are lots of potential goodness!
Favourite character(s): I'm not quite sure. Arthur is threatening to eat my brain, but I really do emphasize a lot with Merlin, too.
Least favourite character(s): Not sure here. I'm not too fond of Kanen as he seems to be doing something that doesn't make sense to me.
Favourite Episode: I think it's "The Labyrinth of Gedref", though I got hooked via "The Poisoned Chalice" so that's a very close second.
What do you hope for in the 2nd series? For Merlin and Arthur to tackle the big, magical, (pink) elephant in the room. And more character development for all, especially Gwen who seems to have been left behind a bit.
Other Fandoms: Harry Potter, Torchwood, some Doctor Who, Queer as Folk. But I'm only active in HP, and Merlin is the only one I've been hooked with apart from it to the degree where I want to really engage.
Other Ships:Harry/Draco is my main one. Jack/everyone *G* Brian/Justin. A few other HP ships on a minor scale.
Anything Else:Erm. My favourite colour is blue? I am also an avid fan of singer/song-writer Rufus Wainwright and actors Daniel Radcliffe and Ben Whishaw.

I completely agree! I also think the boys need to talk about sex Merlin's magic

Yes! Very true *nods* and I also like seeing how Arthur's relationship with Uther makes him make certain choices...

Name: Bridget
Age: 22
What do you love about Merlin: I love Arthurian legend in general, really. It's always interesting to see different takes on it and what parts of the lore a movie, book, or tv show will focus on.
Favourite ship(s): Arthur/Gwen, Merlin/Morgana
Favourite character(s): Merlin, Gwen, Morgana, Arthur, the Dragon
Least favourite character(s): Uther Pendragon
Favourite Episode: 1x10 The Moment of Truth and 1x13 Le Morte d'Arthur
What do you hope for in the 2nd series?: To see more legend fulfilled: Arthur/Gwen, the death of Uther (much as I love Giles Anthony Head, I think Uther's a completely hypocritical bastard and can't wait for Camelot to be Arthur's to rule), Morgana defecting against Uther over something and fleeing to the Druids, maybe more foreshadowing about Mordred's role in the fall of Camelot, the return of Excalibur, etc. One of the parts of legend fulfilled is the Lancelot/Gwen betrayal/affair. While I think Santiago Cabrera did a great job as Lancelot, the chemistry between Bradley (Arthur) and Angel (Gwen) is too great to disrupt that way. Also, with the way they've been shaping Gwen's character, I think it'd be out of character for her to cheat on anyone.
Other Fandoms: (I'm only going to list the ones I've been active--ie, the ones I've recently read and/or written fanfic and/or made and/or saved graphics in.) HP, BtVS/AtS, Heroes, Bleach, Gokusen, Doctor Who/Torchwood/The Sarah Jane Adventures, Fairy Tail, and Skins
Other Ships: (OTPs are in bold) Harry/Ginny, Ron/Hermione, Neville/Luna, Lupin/Tonks, Bill/Fleur, George/Angelina, Percy/Audrey, Draco/Astoria, Scorpius/Lily, Teddy/Victoire, Connor/Dawn, Spike/Buffy, Angel/Buffy, Willow/Tara, Xander/Anya, Peter/Claire, Ichigo/Orihime, Renji/Rukia, Shuuhei/Rangiku, Gin/Rangiku, Shin/Kumiko, Doctor/Rose, Jack/Gwen, Jack/Ianto, Owen/Gwen, Luke/Maria, Loki/Lucy, Natsu/Erza, Gray/Lluvia, Sid/Cassie, Tony/Michelle, Chris/Jal, Cook/Pandora, Naomi/Emily
Anything Else: Um...I'm the (rather lazy) mod here. I live in Arkansas (Little Rock, to be specific). I'm fairly open-minded. I don't mind if you don't ship the way I do or hate my favorite characters (which are usually part of my OTPs, btw). It's sort of like having a friend who prefers vanilla ice cream over chocolate; you don't really understand it, don't feel that way yourself, but it's not a reason to stop being friends with them.

Name: [info]elfflame I generally go by "Elf" these days. :)
Age: Old enough to know better.
What do you love about Merlin: Always been an Arthurian nut, and I love that this show takes those characters and gives us new angles to see them from. Not to mention the UST between Merlin and Arthur. ;)
Favourite ship(s): Arthur/Merlin, so far.
Favourite character(s): Arthur, Merlin, Morgana
Least favourite character(s): At the moment, I can't say I have one.
Favourite Episode: The Poisoned Chalice and The Labyrinth of Gedref
What do you hope for in the 2nd series? more Arthur/Merlin snark, Morgana coming into her own more, and maybe a few more regulars? I'd love to see Gawain.
Other Fandoms: Harry Potter is my other main fandom at the moment, though I have a ton, really.
Other Ships: HP: Harry/Draco, Severus/Draco, Severus/Remus, and many, many others; QAF: Brian/Justin; Youko Nitta: Carlos/Magira; Firefly: Zoe/Wash, Mal/Inara; and probably others that don't come immediately to mind.
Anything Else: This is the first fandom I've fallen into since Harry Potter that bunnied me all on its own. Now I just need to write the darn thing.

Favourite character(s): Merlin
Least favourite character(s): I'd go with Uther, but I think he's a great villain

Other Fandoms: HP, Supernatural, Criminal Minds, Doctor Who, Torchwood
Other Ships: Harry/Draco, Jack/Ianto

Name: AJ
Age: 31
What do you love about Merlin: Hard to put my finger on any particular thing but the first Saturday it wasn't on I felt kind of lost without it.
Favourite ship(s): I ship everyone with anyone but I seem to be particularly fond of Merlin/Arthur.
Favourite character(s): They all have redeeming features but I like Gaius and Morgana most.
Least favourite character(s): I think some characters haven't really had a chance to shine yet, Gwen for example, but there aren't any I don't like.
Favourite Episode: I liked them all, but it was nice to see the girls kick ass in The Moment of Truth.
What do you hope for in the 2nd series? More of the same please, only different. That only made sense to me, right? Oh, and Gwen needs a bit more depth to her character.
Other Fandoms: Doctor Who (Classic and New), Torchwood, Star Wars, Harry Potter, Being Human, QI, CSI (LV), West Wing, H2G2, Eddie Izzard, 24, PotC, Neil Gaiman, Stephen Fry, Heroes...
Other Ships: Seriously, if it's well written I'll read it, and if you're really unlucky I'll write it.
Anything Else: I'm also on LJ as gonewithoutjam and at the moment I post more there because I hardly know anyone on IJ. It'd be lovely to add some Merlin fans to my friends list here.

What do you love about Merlin: What's not to love? There's a bloody dragon telling Merlin they are the sides of the same coin fcol! Of course I love how they interact, Merlin calling Arthur a prat, Merlin's ears, his smile etc... etc... etc... I'm also oddly fascinated with Uther's rather obvious love for this leather gloves...
Favourite ship(s): Merlin/Arthur
Favourite character(s): Merlin!
Least favourite character(s): Uther, but only because it's done so well ;-)
Favourite Episode: Honestly? Most of them!!
What do you hope for in the 2nd series? More interaction and more suspense with Merlin using magic and having to keep it hidden and others possibly finding out and the bit where Arthur snogs Merlin senseless er...
Other Fandoms: Harry Potter, Stargate (both), The Sentinel...
Other Ships: Harry/Draco, Severus/Remus, John/Rodney, Jack/Daniel, Jim/Blair
Anything Else: I babble. A lot. And sometimes there's fic. If we get on in comments I'm likely to come stalk find you on chat...

Age: Over 30
What do you love about Merlin: the characters, the music, all the crazy little anachronisms, the humour, ...
Favourite ship(s): Arthur/Merlin
Favourite character(s): Arthur and Merlin - with slight tendencies to favour Arthur a bit more
Least favourite character(s): I don't really have one so far, which is quite surprising for me. Usually I dislike more characters than the other way round.
Favourite Episode: Right now it's "The poisoned Chalice", though such things chance quite often with me.
What do you hope for in the 2nd series? Arthur just has to learn about Merlin and the magic!
Other Fandoms: Yami no Matsuei, Axis Powers Hetalia, Kyou Kara Maou, several more anime/manga fandoms, Queer as Folk US
Other Ships: Tsuzuki/Touda, KuroFai, Russia/Lithuania, Guren/Masahiro, ah...just take a look at my user info. They are all listed in the interests. *g*
Anything Else: You don't have to agree or like my other ships and so on. Variety is the spice of life after all.

Name: [info]snakeling
Age: 28
What do you love about Merlin: It's great fun; it's not nearly as mythically inaccurate as the reviews would let you believe; it's actually quite good. Oh, and there's plenty of eye-candy to go around, and practically everyone has subtext, though none more than Arthur and Merlin.
Favourite ship(s): Arthur/Merlin, Gwen/Morgana
Favourite character(s): Merlin, but then he's always been my favorite Arthurian character anyway
Least favourite character(s): Hard to choose one. None amongst the regular cast, so probably one of the baddies. Valiant, maybe.
Favourite Episode: The Labyrinth of Gedref
What do you hope for in the 2nd series? Arthur's reaction to Merlin's magic. It's my opinion that Arthur has known all along, so I don't imagine he won't be surprised any, but I want to see him confront Merlin about it.
Other Fandoms: Torchwood mainly, Doctor Who, Harry Potter.
Other Ships: Jack/Ianto, Jack/Rose/Nine, Snape/Harry
Anything Else: I've started rereading the medieval source material, and I'm now planning my summer holidays in Brittany around Arthurian mythology. *sheepish*

What do you love about Merlin: The dynamics and bantering between Arthur and Merlin (and yes, the slashiness as well ;) )
Favourite ship(s): Arthur/Merlin (although Merlin/Morgana is becoming interesting as well)
Favourite character(s): Arthur, Merlin and Morgana
Least favourite character(s): none that I can think of right now... I loved all of them at one point and will do so again :D
Favourite Episode: It's a tie between Moment of Truth, Labyrinth of Geldref and the final.
What do you hope for in the 2nd series? More bantering, more magic and quite possibly that Arthur finds out
Other Fandoms: Doctor Who, Demons, Harry Potter, Star Wars
Other Ships: Harry/Bill, Harry/Oliver, Harry/Hermione, Doctor/Jack, Doctor/Rose, Luke/Mina, Mina/Ruby, Ruby/Luke...
Anything Else:
- I post most of my fandom work at [info]je_fic although I mostly squee at my private journal :D
- Depending on how much time I have, I can be sucked into a new fandom quite easily...

What do you love about Merlin: Everything! It's a ball of laughs and yet still can touch you when you least expect it. As completely cracky as it gets at times, the characters are still three-dimensional and whole, and I love that.
Favourite ship(s): Merlin/Arthur, Lancelot/everyone, Gwen/Morgana
Favourite character(s): Arthur. Because he's a prat!
Least favourite character(s): I should hate Uther, but I love him so much. He's a great bastard and where as he could easily be a one-sided villain, Anthony Head does so much with him. I know that Uther will eventually die and I don't want him too!
Favourite Episode: Lancelot. See Lancelot/everyone
What do you hope for in the 2nd series? That it's even better than the first. I have no plot expectations, I just want more! (Also, Uther don't die! *wibbles*)
Other Fandoms: Harry Potter is the big one along with Alles Was Zählt. I also really enjoy all Whedon shows including the new Dollhouse. Also, Red Dwarf. Also, Simon Pegg. What? He has his own fandom!
Other Ships: Harry/Draco(Hermione), DeRo, Etienne/Marian, Luna/Everyone
Anything Else: I tend to fall in love with rare-pairs that no one else writes or ships. (See Etienne/Marian) And Uther needs some action. I'm just saying.

What do you love about Merlin: the adorable cast, the RenFaire meets 'Camelot High' plotlines, and the costumes they put on Bradley James. Mmm. ;)
Favourite ship(s): Merlin/Arthur, mostly.
Favourite character(s): Arthur is leading by a hair. Gaius really jumped after we got more of his backstory, though.
Least favourite character(s): the less-developed baddies of the week.
Favourite Episode: ack! um. I guess The Labyrinth of Gedref. I really also love The Dragon's Call
What do you hope for in the 2nd series? more character development for the girls, some hints about the future of a united Albion, and some more intense, compelling monster/villain-of-the-week plots that let the kids grow, and show more of the backstory of Camelot.
Other Fandoms: Harry Potter, Babylon 5, Star Trek, Doctor Who, Star Wars, etc.
Other Ships: HP: Snape/Lupin, Snape/Harry, Luna/Harry, Luna/Draco, Neville/Draco, etc. B5: Sheridan/Delenn, Susan/Marcus, Franklin/Number One, and the Londo-G'kar and Lennier-Vir friendships.
Anything Else: I am not actually a great Arthuriana geek, but I enjoy all the many many many versions that have been put out there, and this one is especially entertaining.

Name: Ariadne
Age: Let's just say more than twice eighteen.
What do you love about Merlin: Its addictiveness. *g* Really, I didn't like the show all that much at first but then somehow fell in love. Must be the slashiness! Heh. Plus, it's a fun show and I find all the characters and their dynamics interesting and… oh hell, I don't know! I just love it. *g*
Favourite ship(s): Mostly Arthur/Merlin but I'm open to pretty much anyone/anyone!
Favourite character(s): Arthur, Merlin, Morgana. And Uther because Anthony Head makes him hateful and scary in a fascinating way.
Least favourite character(s): Hmm, I wasn't very fond of Nimueh. But really, there isn't a single character that I dislike.
Favourite Episode: I'd say from episode 7 to the end. It's hard to pick!
What do you hope for in the 2nd series? Arthur finds out about Merlin's magic - I'm dying to see that! (And whether Arthur had suspected already or not.) More character development for Gwen. Lancelot coming back. Mordred. More knights from the Arthurian legend. And more slashiness please - there can never be too much of it! ;-)
Other Fandoms: Harry Potter - only fandom I've ever been active in. But I also like Buffy/Angel, Doctor Who/Torchwood, Death Note, Code Geass, Firefly, Queer as Folk and a few others.
Other Ships: I'm a multi-shipper. It would take a very long list to name all the pairings I love/like/find interesting in all the fandoms I like. I tend to gravitate towards slash mostly, but het is good too; it depends on the characters and their dynamics.
Anything Else: I've only been reading fic in this fandom so far (and viewing fanart/vids), but there's a slight possibility I might draw something? Maybe?

It's pretty late where I am, I'll be back tomorrow morning to friend people! :)

Name: Laurie
Age: Why does everyone always want to know this? Almost forty. Sigh.
What do you love about Merlin: I like my tv silly and sweet with a huge dollop of slash.
Favourite ship(s): Merlin/Arthur! I do really enjoy Gwen/Merlin interaction, but platonically only, plz.
Favourite character(s): Merlin, easily.
Least favourite character(s): I do like them all, even Uther in a love-to-hate-him, kinda-want-to-shake-him-senseless way.
Favourite Episode: Maybe To Kill the King.
What do you hope for in the 2nd season? More of the same. No shark jumpery.
Other Fandoms: Harry Potter, primarily. 30 Rock. Chuck. Mad Men. Temeraire. I also spend a ridiculous amount of time searching for good m/m romance novels.
Other Ships: Snape/Lupin, mainly, along with at least a dozen other HP ships, none of them canon. Oscar/Andy from The Office is another big one for me right now.
Anything Else: I was reading Merlin fic before I tried the show on for size, kind of nervous that I wouldn't like it and that it would spoil my enjoyment of the fic. But I finally watched it last weekend and it had a happy ending - I love the show and, even more miraculously, I didn't pick a rare pair to ship instead of Merlin/Arthur. Whew.

What do you love about Merlin: love the legend (the old version and what the made out of it), Merlin's eyes, the slashy goodness
Favourite ship(s): Merlin/Arthur
Favourite character(s): Merlin and Lancelot
Least favourite character(s): Uther - I want to kick his royal arse
Favourite Episode: can't really decide - too many good ones
What do you hope for in the 2nd series? even more slash-potential, Arthur stumbling over Merlin's secret and vowing to keep it because he loves him (whether Merlin knows or not), Lancelot to come back
Other Fandoms: Harry Potter, Supernatural, Torchwood & QAF mainly
Other Ships: Harry/Severus, Harry/Draco, Harry/Severus/Draco, George/Fred, Dean/Sam, Dean/John, Jack/Ianto, ...
Anything Else: I'm a writer, but as I'm studying abroad at the moment I'm terribly busy with loads of parties and can't write that much. And I need more Merlin icons...

What do you love about Merlin: ARTHUR'S FRINGE. bradley and colin! oh, arthur and merlin, too. that it can be silly and serious at the same time.
Favourite ship(s): colin/bradley! also, arthur/merlin
Favourite character(s): arthur, gwen, merlin, morgana
Least favourite character(s): among the main cast, i don't think there are any characters i dislike. i'm sort of eh about uther.
Favourite Episode: when bradley and colin chase spiders! oh, of the show, hmm? well, like everyone else, i'm fond of the labyrinth of gedref.
What do you hope for in the 2nd series? that merlin tells arthur about his magic. but considering that's one of the central sources of narrative tension, that might not happen.
Other Fandoms: hp. that's the fandom i'm mainly active in. i also read meta in bsg and lost, and i've written/read torchwood fic.
Other Ships: harry/draco; remus/sirius; harry/remus/sirius; jack/ianto
Anything Else: i mostly post on lj, but i want to use this journal more, so i figured i'd start with a merlin-oriented flist. i'll mirror all my merlin-related posts here from now on :)

Age: 23
What do you love about Merlin: I enjoy the characters and their relationships with each other, above all. I do enjoy the plot (yes, yes, I know, shocking). I treat the show as crack and srs bznz - probably leaning more toward srs bznz. I think that was part of the intention - and on that note, I really enjoy the humor. :) Most of all, of course, I love Merlin and Arthur's relationship, inherently slashy because they're destined to be together, but as characters and in terms of personal growth. I'm also insanely obsessed with the cast itself now. :D
Favourite ship(s): Arthur/Merlin and Colin/Bradley RPS. I also dig Gwen/Morgana and I think I could get into Merlin/Morgana as a het pairing.
Favourite character(s): See, this is why I love the show. Merlin, Arthur, Morgana, and Uther are definitely the most interesting. But so is Gaius and all his backstory!
Least favourite character(s): I'm least interested in Gwen, but I still love her to pieces.
Favourite Episode: It's a tie between 1x10 and 1x11.
What do you hope for in the 2nd series? The continual progression of Merlin and Arthur's relationship from its current power imbalance to a place where Arthur can acknowledge, even subconsciously, that he and Merlin are equals), and I think the attraction between them will only grow. Hopefully Arthur will find out about Merlin's magic mid-series two and we'll probably spend forever getting through that. I'd like to learn more about Gaius' backstory and explore his loyalties between Merlin and Uther. I'd like to see Arthur step away from Uther's shadow more. Hopefully Gwen will come into her own (I'm really hoping for another visit from Mr. Sexy-Cheekbones-Santiago Lancelot). We saw the Questing Beast, which was supposed to foreshadow a lot of strife for Camelot. I'm eager to see what happens there - and hopefully to see more politics with other kingdoms or within the court play out. I hope we get the fuck out of Camelot again (maybe visit Ealdor or somewhere different). I'm really interested in what happens to Morgana, and I hope Merlin and Morgana become closer (although not romantically, but if Arthur gets jealous, I approve).
Other Fandoms: HP
Other Ships: HP - Harry/Draco, and then a bit of everything else.
Anything Else: Please feel free to friend me on here and LJ. I'm beginning to write in Merlin and I have quite a few recs posted publicly to LJ (same username) if you want to check those out. I'm also always willing to beta should you want to contact me.
