Hi. Don't know if you remember me. We met at the ORC con of '05, the one with all four hobbit actors and J.R.D.? I bought a copy of the slash paperback you were selling.
This probably wasn't the reaction you were hoping for in a Merlin post, but the main thing I picked up reading this is that a) you're a fan of Supernatural, and b) you were once so blinded by love with this show you couldn't see the flaws.
Hi. It's always nice to meet another addict, makes me feel less alone. :)
Totally agree with you that the main fun of fanfiction is filling in the canon blanks, and that there's a difference between a show having 'blanks' and going totally off the rails. The attitude you've taken with Merlin is exactly the way I, and quite a few others, are now approaching SPN. Just read the fic and let the show's badness fuel it, the fic is the good stuff.
