Back in the days when I wasn't so disorganised, I made a Sticky Post 2009 and a MERLIN - End of 2009 Review. Both posts contain lists of links to all public, fannish entries in 2009.
You may also like to check out my YouTube channel where I've posted lots of Merlin related vids.
Should you have trouble finding something in particular, please don't hesititate to ask in a comment or just send a PM. Same goes for any expired download links you might come across, please let me know if any of the older links expired and I'll re-upload things asap, thanks! :)

SPOILERS: This journal is spoiler friendly but all entries containing spoilers are clearly labeled with the warning: spoiler tag and a further warning above the cut (I'll also try to tell you, what kind of spoiler [general/episode/character etc.] the post contains. You won't find any picture or written spoilers above the cut or in the headlines of my entries. I classify something as a spoiler when it relates to a yet unaired series or episode. Once an episode/series aired in the UK, I won't warn for spoilers any longer, no matter if it hasn't aired in other countries yet.
SPOILER TARDIS! Once you enter a spoiler tagged entry you're on your own risk. Please be aware of the possibility that even a post that doesn't seem too spoilerish on the outside may contain spoiler comments on the inside (i.e. in the comments)!
As from December 24th 2012 I won't warn for any spoilers regarding Merlin any more. I'll warn for spoilers re Teen Wolf S3, though.

COMMENTING:I very much enjoy sharing Merlin news/pics/articles/vids etc. in my journal and it's great when any of these news're discussed, but after S3 started in September 2010 some comments got a bit 'out of control' and I wasn't happy about the directions some of these comments took.
I do not expect that everyone should post nothing but rainbows and unicorns to my journal (though I wouldn't mind you doing that, I love rainbows and unicorns!). Nor do I expect or demand comments that only reflect my own opinion. However, the amount of rather highly emotional complaining/whining/ranting comments that were made whenever I posted a synopsis or something else that revealed something about an upcoming episode, reached a level that I didn't feel comfortable with in my journal any longer. Due to that I'd kindly like to ask commenters to please keep out massive RAGE or WHINING from their comments here. Please feel free to take your discussions to your own journals or a community of your liking, though.
Really! I don't mind a WTF and pointing out/questioning weird characterisations or plotholes the size of the Isle of the Blessed, but name-calling/death wishes regarding characters, "I HATE" comments and the constant whining about A/G - I'm rather tired of it and it becomes VERY frustrating to read the same laments over and over again. I don't ask anyone to hold back criticism or not speak about how they feel about the show, I'm asking to consider the WORDING of comments in my journal. Generally, it's not what you say, but how you say it.
Furthermore I'm not o.k. with any sort of bashing (some of the A/G comments, and especially Gwen specific comments that have been made at my journal, were way out of my tolerance limit AND comfort zone). Since this is my journal, I'd like everyone to please keep these things in mind, when commenting next time.
Thank you very much! ♥
Oh and one more thing: please, don't be shy! I always feel a bit sad when people visit my LJ on a regular basis but feel too shy to comment and I don't get the chance to know/talk to them. You're more than welcome to leave a comment at any of my entries - sometimes I totally suck at replying (damn rl...) but I always try my best to come back to you - I really love to meet/talk to new people and fellow fans. :D ♥

FRIENDING:You're welcome to friend my journal to follow my public updates and don't need to ask if I agree. :) The same applies for de-friending!
At the moment I'll only friend back in exceptional cases (i.e. rarely/not)
Please don't get me wrong, that's not me being a royal prat, who's too cool to friend people back but me having a wonderful flist I already fail to catch up on way too often. /0\

MY ICONS: I make most of the icons I'm using myself and those I consider worth sharing (i.e. those I think aren't complete crap :P) get posted at my graphics journal mion_pictiur. All icons shared there are free to snag and use (with credit ♥). However, icons I haven't posted at my graphics journal are NOT shareable. Not because I think that my icons are particularly amazing or 'special', it's just that I've made some icons only for myself (layout fitting default icon f.e.). If you see an icon you'd like to use and it's not been posted at my graphics journal, you're welcome to ask if you can use it, but I'd like to kindly ask to not just take/use it. THANKS! ♥
