Friend you first or after? Either is fine. :) Name: Trinh Age: 17 Location: North San Fransisco Bay, CA What do you love about Gwen?: Gwen stands up for her beliefs. Most of the Merlin characters do, but she's in a position where she should "just obey," yet she doesn't. She doesn't have the power Arthur and Morgana have. Even though Merlin is a servant too, he's a) a male and b) can manipulate with magic. She has more to lose yet she still doesn't let that stop her. Favorite Gwen moment: I really enjoyed the Merlin/Gwen scene in Valiant on the steps. Although I love Gwen/Arthur scenes, it seems like she's being defined as Gwen/Arthur and not just Gwen. In this scene, she is a friend, and a good one at that. Favorite Merlin episode: Ba-ba-ba-bad ass Gwen: The Moment of Truth. What you want to see in Series Two: a) Better wardrobe. b) More Arthur/Gwen scenes. c) More Gwen is Merlin and Morgana's friend scenes. d) More standing up for herself scenes. d) Actually, just MORE GWEN. Gwen ships?: Gwen/Arthur Other Merlin ships: Merlin/Morgana

Haha, I totally read your favorite Gwen moment as Gwen and Valiant on the steps, and went 'OMG. REALLY?! WHEN DID THAT HAPPEN?!'. >.< I like weird, random pairings too much, it seems.
Friend you first or after? First. *nods* Name: Samantha Age: 18 Location: AUS What do you love about Gwen?: Everything. She's so bubbly! Favorite Gwen moment: Episode one! The 'you're not that type'. SO funny. Favorite Merlin episode: Excalibur What you want to see in Series Two: More Gwen. Nimueh still alive. Gwen ships?: I can work Gwen/Arthur and Gwen/Merlin. I don't do femmeslash though. Also, I totally ship Gwen/Uther. I don't know why. Other Merlin ships: Arthur/Merlin. MERLIN/MORGANA. What do you do/want to do in the fandom? Er, I've made icons and written fanfiction. Other fandoms/interests: Harry Potter, and yes, there's a lot in my journal about it along with, you know, MY LIFE. Anything else: TO ROME, ETC.
How can thefuturequeen help you participate in Gwen-fandom "events?" Loved the Gwen Battle! I wouldn't mind doing that again. Or a fic exchange. Or...if we complied our own Gwen mood theme or something. Do you have any advice on how to (nicely) battle the Gwen-hate on the Internet? Er, well, we shouldn't be trying to force our Gwen

I almost put Gwen/Uther and I couldn't for the life of me figure out why. I've never thought about it before, but it'd be rather deliciously screwed up if worked right...O.o
It could be so interesting to play around with the ramifications/psychological issues that would come up (particularly since, y'know, he had her father executed...and threw her in a dungeon).
Friend you first or after? Either Name: Liz Age: 19 Location: USA What do you love about Gwen?: She's so sweet and honest. She's not afraid to tell her opinion, even to the Prince. Favorite Gwen moment: When she scolds Arthur for not eating the food in "The Moment of Truth" Favorite Merlin episode: "The Moment of Truth" (Will makes me happy, what can I say?) What you want to see in Series Two: More development for Gwen, definitly. And a start to the development of Gwen/Arthur, because they need to take it slow and their start for the first season was a little abrupt/not quite convincing yet. Gwen ships?: Gwen/Morgana, Gwen/Arthur, Gwen/Merlin, Gwen/Lancelot Other Merlin ships: Will/Merlin, Merlin/Morgana, Morgana/Arthur, Arthur/Merlin, Gaius/Uther, Uther/Nimueh, (basically Everybody/Everybody) What do you do/want to do in the fandom? Fic, Icons, random squee... Other fandoms/interests: Uh, a lot on the fandoms. The ones I'm currently caught up on/active in are Harry Potter, Castle, Bones, Criminal Minds, How I Met Your Mother, Doctor

Friend you first or after? Either/or, but if you go for first, just let me know in case I miss you! Name: Kelly Age: 21 Location: Vancouver, BC What do you love about Gwen?: I love how good her heart is, how willing she is to display it: whether in terms of morality or affection. She's sweet, and capable, and has absolutely no idea of her destiny. She's one of those people who deserves to lead and deserves good things simply because she's a good people and could never take it for granted. I also really like that her story is told in the background; she may have few scenes, but they all speak loudly to who she is. (That's not to say that more scenes would not be appreciated...) Favorite Gwen moment: Several dozen, but I'll narrow it to 2. First, in To Kill the King, when she and Merlin are talking about how she's dealing with her father's death & about Uther. Second, when they're in Ealdor and she stands up for the women's right to fight. Favorite Merlin episode: Moment of Truth What you want to see in Series Two: I would adore an

Friend you first or after? Doesn't matter, but say hi if you want! I don't bite. *g* Name: Heather Age: 25 Location: PA What do you love about Gwen?: She's sweet and kind, but I also love how strong she is, how with everything that's happened to her she just quietly keeps going on with her life. I like how simply and completely she loves Morgana, Merlin and Arthur, and how much she risks to be there for them. How she balances out the group and grounds them; much as I love everyone I think the show would be one huge broody magical emo-fest if she weren't around. And I love how sometimes she can't stop herself from speaking up, even if she has to backpedal afterward. Favorite Gwen moment: Probably her extended awesomeness throughout Moment of Truth. Favorite Merlin episode: Moment of Truth What you want to see in Series Two: Gwen doing stuff. Anything. Just give me something. XP Some actual lines in every episode would be a huge improvement. I'd love her to have her own arc, and for her and Morgana to save the boys. Gwen

I mean, aside from getting thrown into a dungeon once, they have NO interaction. BUT STILL. THEY WOULD BE EPICALLY TWISTED.
