ooh more please? *tracks*

I promise more is coming! (My goal is to post a chapter once a week until it's done.) Thanks so much for reading, and also commenting.

That was lovely. I could really feel the frustration from Merlin after talking with the dragon. I liked how relaxed he was around Arthur. Very sweet.

[radio_silent]

Thank you! I think the dragon is the source of more frustration than knowledge for Merlin, or at least in my fic!

Oh

This is really lovely :)

Re: Oh

[radio_silent]

Aw, thank you! I'm so glad you're enjoying it!

Oh wow I am loving this so far. It's written so well especially considering it's comedy. Lots of similar types of stories seem to disregard proper writing skills but you my friend write brilliantly.

Also, just wondering, if your title came from 'doctor strangelove or: how I stopped worrying and learnt to love the bomb' ?

[radio_silent]

Aw, thanks! I'm so glad you're enjoying the fic!

The title is, indeed, a parody of the Doctor Strangelove title. Nice catch! (It's also sort of a reference to a Buffy fic I co-wrote a few years ago: http://community.livejournal.com/hellmouth_vsds/3732.html

Also, your icon made me giggle. Rather a lot.

It's cos I had to study that movie last year. It almost killed me but it is hilarious. My favourite qoute is "Gentlemen! You can't fight in here! This is the War Room!"

And I love your icon also. There are some brilliant icons out there ^_^

AND OMG BUFFY FIC! I AM GOING TO READ THAT RIGHT NOW!

(even though I am in desperate need of seeing season seven. I know I know I will watch it soon! hehe ^_^)

[radio_silent]

I need to watch the movie again--I've only seen it once, but I really enjoyed it.

I have a whoooole secret file of Merlin icons on my computer--with quotes like "These knees were made for walking" and images like Arthur and Merlin with Merlin holding flowers behind his back from 2x03. : )

YAY PLEASE DO READ THE FIC. It's all set in season 3, so no spoilers for season 7 or anything. And I'd suggest you start hete.

(I do shamelessly promote the heck out of this fic, because I co-wrote it with a very good friend and we're very proud of it. : )

Merlin would swear the Dragon actually hissed. Like a gigantic cat. A gigantic cat that ranted about destiny and coins.

Dragon, you own my heart. I really adore your Merlin voice- very cheeky. Gorgeous stuff. ;)

[radio_silent]

Aw, thank you! And I'm glad you like the Dragon, considering he's like 25% of this fic!
