Being a heterosexual shipper in a prominentally slash fandom...

Feb 05, 2017 20:25

No disrespect to slash/femslash shippers, but since returning to the Merlin fandom I'm finding it hard to find other Arthur/Gwen shippers. While the show was on, we had a strong fan base, not as big as Arthur/Merlin, but a great number of people. And while it's great to interact with other Merlin fans, it would be nice to have a nice number of ( Read more... )

I think there are one or two Mergana shippers at camelot_drabble who post fairly regularly, if you haven't found them yet :)

I echo what schweet_heart said. My friend sidhe_faerie writes Mergana fics on camelot_drabble, and AJsRandom also does too :)

I can't help you much with finding other shippers - perhaps multifandom or rare pair comms might turn up something? But if you want to come up with a piece of art and a prompt I could write you a short A/G reverse!fic if you like (I would offer to art but, you know, I kind of suck at it lol). It's not my ship usually, but I've been trying to write new things lately so it would help me broaden my horizons a bit :)

If it helps, though, I think a lot of artists didn't make the deadline this time, so maybe there would've been more variety if they had :)

That's an idea. Although I'm in the process of starting a Merlin Re-Watch soon at the_pendragons so I might meet new people who ship them :)

Really! I'll give it a go :)

Need to re-watch Merlin again. But I first started out Arthur/Merlin, but started to get into Arthur/Gwen before I stopped watching, mainly due cause of too many shows I was into. So it was hard to keep up. But I know the feeling. Most shows it's hard to find fans of non-slash ships anymore. Though I am open to all ships to be honest.

You should :) I'm planning a Merlin re-watch at the_pendragons (it's an Arthur/Gwen community but we welcome multishippers as long as you like A/G we are happy). It's been a while since I watched it too.
