Two Cracky Merlin and Doctor Who Fics Written for Badfic!Challenge at BBCLand

[sherrilina]

So once again my usual disinclination to write fic was broken by a challenge comm challenge, this time a "bad!fic" challenge at bbcland that provided several "bad fic" prompts to include (Mary Sues, random unpopular character deaths, etc) for a certain amount of points each.  I took the opportunity to write a satiric Merlin fic (given the direction of the

OMG, BB. That first fic...! First of all: GWEEEEEEEENNNNN. MY BB. But I understand. (BUT TEARSSSSS). I think this might be too cracky for even Merlin, but I can see the parallels. =P Hilarious.

Lol, thanks for reading, I'm glad you still enjoyed it/found it funny despite Gwen's tragic demise! ;). I was originally going to have a TW bit too (that and the DW bit were all going to be part of one, multifandom story), but it just didn't work at all after I'd actually seen COE...;_; (Though still left in the "wrong Gwen" ref, since that Gwen is even more unpopular than Angel's! :/)

[hmsharmony]

THAT'S what the reference meant! Oh, my. Why are my favorites always the least popular? XD

[sherrilina]

Obviously you have to steer clear of characters named Gwen to avoid that! :p

Oh, that Merlin one was cracky and so Mary Sue. Very funny.

[sherrilina]

Thanks, glad you found it funny! :)

Is Gwen really considered less popular then Gaius?

[sherrilina]

Hmm, IDK, I was thinking in terms of the main four (or in theory what the main 4 characters are, OT4 and all that), but at least at the beginning I think Gauis was very popular, though maybe less so now (since he's become more and more questionable in his behavior). But traditionally she has been at least a less popular, more overlooked character (which is what I said in the note, not least popular character period). And for instance on the challenge comm there used to be a Team Gwen, but it had to be dropped because there wasn't enough active participation on it, and not enough people wanted to join that team.

[crayford]

Huh. Maybe it is because I hang round the Comms where Gwen spawns 100/1000's of comments regularly in a post that I find it surprising that she is seen as unpopular.

Funny how isolated I/You/We can be when you end up only hanging round certain corners of fandoms.

I should get out more. haha

P.S

Fun fic!

love the Doctor Who fic! ♥ Just watched that episode, too! lol

[sherrilina]

Aw, thanks! :D And lol, perfect, was it for the first time or a rewatch? Either way it's always nice to hear DT's reall accent! <333

First time, I was tired of seeing all these DW fics/art work/xovers and not being able to read them 'cause I didn't know the fandom, but thanks to Netflix I'm able to see the seasons now. ♥
