Because it is the weekend, the world needs more Merlin recs

[ravenclaw_harpy]

That is my excuse & I'm sticking to it.  There are so many good Merlin fics around.  Here are a few that deserve to be read by many and have made me happy over the last couple of days...

I'll finish up now because it is way late (this lj recing always seems to slurp up so much time - possibly because I start re-reading fics as I do it.)  Hope you

AAAaaagghhhh! I so hate LJ. I have no idea what I did, but when I tried to fix the post, it just went all over the option. I had to cut & paste & redo all the links. I so hope that I've sorted it out. Please let me know if I've stuffed up the links, or quotes.

Will have a cuppa and a glass or two of wine & head over to the Merlin recs page & see if I can do a better job over there.

Thank you for the heads up!

Thank you. Should be fixed now. (Breathing a heavy sigh of relief that it didn't just collapse.)

Bad formatting makes Merlin get put in the stocks. Also, long posts generally go under a cut. Not that I want to discourage you!!! MORE MERLIN RECS FTW. zebra363 mentioned last night about your sudden interest in lj and was lured into watching Merlin eps! \o/

Tip - There's a preview button that lets you see what your post looks like before you post.

Apparently using an lj client makes this whole process 100% easier, so zebra363 tells me frequently.

Let me just say it is getting awfully smelly here in the stocks.

Um, pretty much the whole post, well the recs (which pretty much = the whole post) were supposed to be under a cut. I thought. They weren't. I don't know how much I can blame on the late hour, but oh, it was so frustrating. And then the wretched post jumped all over the place. I had to cut & paste it all, to get it back in the right order. Then I redid all the links. (Why does LJ sometimes deny that a user exists, when I just linked the same name 2 seconds before and it worked perfectly? Why, I ask you?)

And what is this lj client process thinggie? If it makes things easier, I so want it.

I am so glad that zebra363 was lured into watching. That gives me the happy. But then, why wasn't I over there watching with you?!? Oh, that's right, I was trying to do recs on my LJ, wasn't I?

BTW. Was zebra363 sucked in to the slashy glory of Merlin?

And how do you get a lj user link in the comments?

Thank you, doomcanary, she said, trying it out.

Hee, I wrote a pinch hit for linaerys at Yuletide. The James Bond fic she wrote for Yuletide was exceedingly AWESOME.

Here - Linaerys's is the No Omen But My Country's Cause.

Speaking of JB fic have you read this utterly brilliant one?

[ravenclaw_harpy]

It's a small world. Ooh, I might head off and read the Bond fic. Go and enjoy some of these fics I rec'd. They are all so totally awesome.

I've only seen two eps of Merlin. The fic is MUCH BETTER than the show. :)

And the post looks fine to me (Sunday afternoon).

[ravenclaw_harpy]

Thank you! Glad it looks fine - I literally spent hours trying to a) post & then b) sort out original mess.

And you are so right, the fic is way better than the show. Kind of reminds me of The Sentinel, where I thought the fic way better than the show too. However, I have an incredible tolerance for such shows when I can read the fic as well. And when there is so much pretty scenery about!

i vaguely remember mocking the first few eps (with love) the first time around...

Now I am utterly enchanted. Of course, the best eps are the later ones, with the character development and utter devotion to each other. *koff*
