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

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.

Who was Rumina? Was she another hot girl? Because I sort of half remember there being another hot girl, and me shipping them even though I didn't know one could ship characters out-of-canon yet. (Pre-fandom OTP FTW.)

Yeah she was the evil brunette sorceress that episodically threatened the crew, and also threatened the Sinbad/Maeve. (Sinbad was kind of into it though.)

Going by fandom laws, that means it was time for love/hate threesomes.

Google images tells me I'd hit that, too:

HA TOTALLY. Sometimes I watch the shows that I liked when I was younger and think, "Man, if only Livejournal fandom had been around for this."

Ya, the show totally vamped Rumina up. I mean, not like they dressed Maeve in a shapeless coat either, y'know. Sinbad, what a lucky dude.
