Cordazar Calvin Broadus would like you to get yours before his.

[whynot]

There are some things you should check out.

1. FIC: Fornaldarsögur Norðurlanda by alice_pike. Narnia, Golden Age, Edmund/Lucy, PG13. BIOMEFIC. Which, okay, isn't a real term, but you know how 'and sometimes you hear the silence speak' is like, "Deserts!!" and 'The Light of a Different Sun' is all, "The tropics!" This fic is like, "THE ARCTIC," and it is so. Fucking. Incredible. You guys. Edmund and Lucy are Arctic explorers, just read it.

2. THINGATHON: All hail the Gwen/Morgana Thingathon (Week 1)! Before you can post a prompt, you must answer a prompt, and it doesn't have to be fic. It can be icons! It can be fanart! Whatever!

3. SNOOP DOGG

4. CHEESE, EVERYTHING'S BETTER WITH

5. RAMADHAN: starts in like two weeks, and eid_ka_chand (and maybe eid_fic?) needs YOU to make some fic/meta/picspam/whatever about Muslim characters. I'm, uh, lapsed, but since Islam has informed who I am and is a part of my family and culture, I'll be playing in that sandbox when the time comes 'cos -- and I'm gonna quote dhobikikutti here -- "[c]elebrating Eid is personal for me because it is a festival I share with friends and relatives, but wanting to see more characters like them in fandom is political. Because I think that fiction has enormous possibilities for inciting change in how we define 'normal', and whom we learn to love and care for despite differences in culture."

The call to action! The list of Muslim characters! Set this on percolate, guys.

...Okay, so I'm scrolling down that list of Muslim characters and, under 'TV Shows', I SEE: THE ADVENTURES OF SINBAD. omg. WHO REMEMBERS THIS SHOW.

Quoth TV Tropes, "The story followed the adventures of a caucasian Sinbad, his older brother Doubar, Firouz the alchemist, the mute Rongar, and Celtic sorceress Maeve."


Where to begin.

So anyway, I totally read Adventures of Sinbad fic and shipped Sinbad/Maeve. MY DARK PAST.


IN OTHER NEWS. The "Will lives!" Merlin AU is bugging me to pay attention to it. Ask me questions about it or give me prompts or something, because I want to flesh it out some. THE STORY SO FAR: he returns with them to Camelot. Also, ask me questions/give me prompts about Gaius? Because he's been niggling too.

For the crack: Will should be Uther's manservant. YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO WRITE THIS! It would drive Will insane, and Uther would play a lowerlevel version of that infrequent-approval thing he does with Arthur, and maybe Will would just not get the subtlety, and then they somehow end up drunk together, drunk under a table, and semibond over being not really very brave. (Cause I swear, Uther is actually often a wee bit scared. It's why he's noisy.)

For the serious: there should be un-apologist Gaius POV of 1x07 -- him bringing Morgana almost all the way to yes you are a seer and then doubling back last-minute into no, it's better if you think you're insane.

omg, the lulz would be epic.

Uther is actually often a wee bit scared. It's why he's noisy.
HEEEEEEEEEEEEE. Yes. When Uther goes off on his anti-sorceror soapbox though, Will shrugs and goes, "They're not so bad." And then remembers survival instincts. "THAT IS TO SAY, THEY'RE HORRIBLE."

"RIGHT," Uther agrees.


Un-apologist! Intriguing. Truly, where DO Gaius's loyalties lie? How much justification does he have to do to himself? Why does this sound like the right thing to do?
