well, actually I want to add something about ideas.

for past few days I was thinking about difference in Arthur and Morgana's terms during 1st and 2nd seasons.
So, maybe you will be interested in fic about something that happened between that timelines, that changed their relationships so roughly?

lame idea, but, maybe it will help? )))

Hadn't thought of that, actually. Though I can't really think of anything to explain the change in dynamic other than the writers deciding to drop it... was pretty random.

That was really very excellent. Your characterization for both the series and the legend is wonderful, and your prose is simplistic and striking. Lovely.

This was lovely! I'm always in need for more Amor in my life, and this was just so breathtaking; really simple language, but ever single word counts. You get such a vivid and concrete sense of them, their complicatedness.

When you were younger you pretended not to care for each other at all.

This especially I found to nail their relationship really well. I just felt like I could really delve into their heads. So, tl;dr, I loved it! ♥

Hey, thanks! There isn't enough A/Mor stuff, is there? I tried writing fluff for them but it didn't work. It was just bad. Destined to be angsty...

I really enjoyed this, actually - it was very cleverly done.

I love giving prompts, so I'll gladly oblige. I'm going to throw things out there, see if anything helps? Also, are you into experimenting with AUs?

5 times Steerpike Told the Truth.
Camelot meets Ry'leh. Expand.
Mordred/Galahad. Nuff said.
The Secret Life of Uther Pendragon.
5 Things Prunesquallor Must Hold On To.

Thanks! And I haven't written any AUs, but I could give it a go.

The "Camelot meets Ry'leh" made me laugh - I might actually be able to fit that into half a crack fic I wrote.

In "Merlin" Mordred is a little boy... wrongness... but I guess you mean from Malory?

Gormenghast might be fun. Btw, do you know of any good Gormenghast fic? Have totally failed to find any so far (admit have not looked very far, but was put off by all the "Steerpike was misunderstood! Fuschpike 4eva!" stuff I found).

Yay! I'm glad my prompts are helpful. (And I was aiming for lolz with the crackprompt, so huzzah!)

And... yes. Galahad/Mordred is mostly a Mallorian idea, though I usually use that slash in a Yuletide way when giving prompts - I should have specified that XD.

I haven't found any good Gormenghast fic either. I've been toying with the idea of trying to write some, which I might, during the winter break. With my 6 classes (including a grad class, wtf, self), NaNo AND that other project on my journal, I can't write new fandoms immediately. But I did have a mind to give it a shot during the Christmas break, so... we'll see? Maybe we could prompt each other in that direction. Breaks are usually prompt time for me - ah, but I am doing Yuletide this year. We'll see how that goes. BTW, did you sign up?

Imho, Steerpike totally has a Freudian Excuse in the TVTropes sense of the term. But a Freudian Excuse actually doesn't excuse. It explains. >.>

It's a cracky ressurection fic - "Merlin told Arthur he would return one day... he just didn't mention how many times..." I'm sure I can get Cthulhu in there somewhere.

I admit I haven't read all of Malory - some bits are just dull - but I read most of it for a fic I did a while ago, so I could have a go at the Galahad/Mordred.

He has a Freudian Excuse in the miniseries (oh, woe is me, my chidhood was... less than perfect?) but I don't remember there being one in the books?

I would love some Steerpike fic; am not very picky about what. I had this idea for a big-ass AU where Titus is a kitchen boy and Steerpike is a Groan but I never actually wrote any of it. Feel free to have that idea if you want.

Did I sign up for what now?

Oh that was simply beautiful. The ending line was perfect, poetic even. It made my eyes water.

Please never stop writing this pairing!

Thank you :)

...don't know if I'm going to write more for them. I kind of feel like I'm rehashing what I've already done. But you never know.
