Being a heterosexual shipper in a prominentally slash fandom...

No disrespect to slash/femslash shippers, but since returning to the Merlin fandom I'm finding it hard to find other Arthur/Gwen shippers. While the show was on, we had a strong fan base, not as big as Arthur/Merlin, but a great number of people. And while it's great to interact with other Merlin fans, it would be nice to have a nice number of people who ship like I do.

Another thing that's gotten me feeling a little down is [livejournal.com profile] merlinreverse. I was interested when I saw the idea behind this challenge. I love using fan art to inspire fic. But sadly, (I wasn't surprised really) all the prompts are slash or femslash (which is great for people into that kind of thing), but not if you are after a different pairing. So I'm really bummed. I mean if I had known about this challenge earlier I could have made something for it, but I didn't and I'm bummed.

I am a Merlin/Morgana fan, hard to find any fic either...

I think there are one or two Mergana shippers at [livejournal.com profile] camelot_drabble who post fairly regularly, if you haven't found them yet :)

I echo what [livejournal.com profile] schweet_heart said. My friend [livejournal.com profile] sidhe_faerie writes Mergana fics on [livejournal.com profile] camelot_drabble, and [livejournal.com profile] ajsrandom also does too :)
