Favorite character (for those who have a long list, give your top three!): Merlin, Lancelot, Gwaine. And -- I'm breaking my own instructions -- I also like Mordred. Ships:This girl is all about the friendship, baby -- Merlin/Arthur, old!Morgana/Gwen, Merlin/any of the knights, but especially Lancelot and Gwaine. I guess the broships appeal to me because I don't have brothers nor a lot of guy friends. Surprisingly I'm not big on the romance in this show, though I appreciate Arthur/Gwen onscreen. And weirdly enough, Cenred/Morgause. They gave me the creeps but I totally miss them now that they're gone :)) Favorite episode: Can't pick one! The Last Dragonlord, The Labyrinth of Gedref, Goblin's Gold, The Sorcerer's Shadow are some of my faves though. What do you do in the fandom -- fic (reader/writer/beta), trad art, graphics, fanmix, etc? All I have to offer right now are my feels. I used to be an avid

Favorite character (for those who have a long list, give your top three!): Arthur is my favorite. Ships: Arthur/Merlin, Arthur/Gwen on a fair day. Morgana/Gwen. Merlin/Morgana. I'm not picky but Arthur/Merlin is probably my forever ship. Favorite episode: The Death Song of Uther Pendragon. Fantastic acting on everyone's part. Plus those gosh darn familial relationships get me every. single. time. Arthur-centric stories never disappoint me and I love how he comes to terms with the fact that his kingdom is no longer his father's and that he no longer needs his validation either. What do you do in the fandom -- fic (reader/writer/beta), trad art, graphics, fanmix, etc? I make icons of Merlin. I also am planning on writing a couple fics in the future.
It's one of those days, and you have to cover for Merlin. Excluding herb-collecting and

Plus those gosh darn familial relationships get me every. single. time. Arthur-centric stories never disappoint me and I love how he comes to terms with the fact that his kingdom is no longer his father's and that he no longer needs his validation either. YES. A huge part of my love for the show comes from seeing Arthur grow and realizing how hard it must be to be king (or to be in any position of authority, for that matter).
Also, icon maker! /o/ Did you make that DW one? I love the framing.
Name: Tam, and any variation thereof! Tambear, Tamballs, Taminsworth... etc. etc. I answer to just about anything :) Age: 23, ha! I wrote 22 still not used to being a year older :( Location: The Emerald Isle aka Ireland! :) Journal posts consist of: Real life, flailing, pimping, squeeing.... generally just my own mind-farts
Favorite character (for those who have a long list, give your top three!): Arthur, with a side of Gwaine! Ships: Arthur/Merlin, Arthur/Gwaine, Arthur everyone basically! Favorite episode: Oh, tough one... I love Goblins Gold, and The Beauty and the Beast one... What do you do in the fandom -- fic (reader/writer/beta), trad art, graphics, fanmix, etc? Read, write, beta, mod, pimp...
It's one of those days, and you have to cover for Merlin. Excluding herb-collecting and the tavern, what excuse do you give Arthur? "Em... It's rather delicate Sire..." "Okay, okay... He had to go to get you a new belt...A bigger one..." You find Merlin looking through your closet. What excuse does he give you? "Some of the king'

First off - I love your name! You remind me of how I used to write the wrong age when I was still studying (enrollment period in my country usually fell on my birthday - so I often messed my forms up hahaha).
*lipwobble* <-- Nice term! Can I steal that?
A couple of my friends have been raving about Downton Abbey... is it easy to get into though? I'm choosing between that and Sherlock for my next craze.
THE HOBBIT!!! How was it?! How was it?!
[edit] I was so distracted that I forgot to ask: friends?
Of course you can steal it - I love it and use it all the time :D
It is very easy to get into and yiou really get sucked in - but you gotta start from the very start or else... Some of it doesn't fit! : You really should give it a go - but Sherlock is brilliant as well!
The Hobbit was AMAZING!! Like, I'd prefer to watch it again even though I just saw it than watch any of the LOtR... It was simply brilliant!
Name: Alanna Age: 26 Location: Canada Journal posts consist of: Random RL stuff (not TMI though! haha!), occasional squeeing/ranting about fandom Favorite character (for those who have a long list, give your top three!): Merlin, no question about it! Ships: Like you I'm not a big fan of the romance on the show; TPTB have a very idealised/juvenile idea of romance so I find myself more frustrated than anything by what they give us. I'm a big friendship-lover as well - Arthur+Merlin is my favourite relationship on the show, but I'm all about Gaius+Merlin and Arthur+Uther father-son relationships. Lancelot+Merlin, Gwaine+Merlin friendship; Gwen+(early-season) Morgana friendship; Gwen+Merlin friendship...you get the picture! =) When I'm reading fic I'll occasionally dip into Arthur/Merlin because I've found some of my favourite authors in that medium, but that's as far as I go shipping-wise. Favorite episode: The Poisoned Chalice; Beauty and the Beast 1+2; The Darkest Hour 1+2; The Wicked Day; The Eye of the Phoenix What do you do in the

I haven't seen a lot of people who are more into the friendship side, so yay!!! And you are into Celtic music too! I just started getting interested because of my ocarina playing. Do you know any good artists/albums I can start with?
Lioncub!Merlin! After the Dark Tower illusion scenes, I couldn't help but imagine how filming for that went! It would be disappointing if they didn't include bloopers of that in the DVD.
Name: Sunny Age: 28 Location: Belgium Journal posts consist of: Fandom Favorite character (for those who have a long list, give your top three!): Gwen, Leon, Freya Ships: Arthur/Gwen, Merlin/Freya... and recently, Leon/Gwen (XD) Favorite episode: The Moment of Truth, Sweet dreams What do you do in the fandom -- fic (reader/writer/beta), trad art, graphics, fanmix, etc? Fic reader and fan art admirer... does it count? ;) It's one of those days, and you have to cover for Merlin. Excluding herb-collecting and the tavern, what excuse do you give Arthur? Why, you told him to clean up the stables, don't you remember, your Majesty? You find Merlin looking through your closet. What excuse does he give you? I was chasing rats... You were forced by Morgana to kill Arthur in exchange for your family's safety. What crazy method did she think of now? Pretend there will be an apocalypse before the end of the week, and while the knights are busy chasing fake threats, stab the king in the back. Arthur won't see it coming (Gwen & Merlin might, though
