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

[ella_rose88]

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 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.

That's an idea. Although I'm in the process of starting a Merlin Re-Watch soon at the_pendragons so I might meet new people who ship them :)

Really! I'll give it a go :)
