Oh, that fandom swallowed me whole a while back. I'm all kinds of American and writing in a British fandom is a pain in the ass for me because I write in a really conversational tone, so I've never written for it, but there is some fantastic fic in that fandom. THEY ARE AMAZING.
My dearest OTP is Ron/Draco from HP, and I did a fair amount of writing for them, so I'd kind of adopted a "British-y" style. When I started writing for Luke/Reid, I had to pull myself out of it. It was tough. :p
This is yet another show that I have been meaning to watch due solely to the fact that I know that people slash these two guys like crazy and I am very very interested in seeing what's behind it all. But how's the show itself!? Is it actually good?
The show itself? Kindof cheesy. BUT. Considering that my favorite show right now is a soap opera, I'm willing to let it go. :p
And the UST between Merlin and Arthur really is ridiculous. And pretty. Colin Morgan (Merlin) is the most adorkable thing, and Bradley James (Arthur)? FUCK. I started watching it yesterday morning while I was doing my hair, and when I saw him? I HAD TO SIT DOWN. NO LIE.
I'm pretty sure no one stands a chance against the ghey that is Merlin & Arthur as the BBC has managed to re-incarnate them. (Sometimes I sit around trying to think of ways they could be gay-er, and short of like, full-on making-out... There really isn't. c:)
The slash dragon says things so obvious sometimes it's painful.
You should read astolat's fics if you haven't yet. Especially Crown of the Summer Court and The Beltane Cycle are deliciously written and plotty and hot and sweet.
I know. I've seen some on the syfi chan recently. Seen enough to not love like I did with Xena for the hokeyness but DAMN those boys are cute. And Buffy's Giles is there though he's a dick. But oh yes! Slashyness everywhere. Hopes to see more of these.

Should keep you entertained for a bit, but not help your mind going pr0n crazy for Merlin and Arthur though.
