ICON RESOLUTIONS - JOIN IN!

Finish that Fic Merlin Promo!

2020 has been quite a year. While not all of us have been in the same boat, we've certainly all been in the same storm, and it hasn't even ended yet as many countries are still in lockdown. 2021 can only be better, so let's start it out with trying to rid ourselves of at many WIPs as possible while we wait for our turn to be vaccinated.

This time, Finish that Fic, Merlin will run from January 1st to April 30rd, but sign ups are already open right here. If this is your first time, be sure to read How this fest Works and the FAQs first.

If you don't feel like writing, but still want to participate, you can sign up as a beta/cheerleader here.

* I’ve signed up with three WIP Fics so hopefully I’ll be able to finish those off! If you’re a Merlin writer and have any WIP fics, feel free to join in!

Last night of 2020 - Bring on 2021!

Fingers crossed that 2021 goes a bit better than 2020! That being said I did manage to achieve a few things this year.

Anyway, usually I refuse to make New Year’s resolutions because in the past I’ve not been very good at doing them. But then I thought how I have goals for my NDIS plan and realised that those are my resolutions really. So my resolutions are:

1. Continue to be more active and exercise.
2. Learn to be more independent (so I can eventually move out from my parents’ house)
3. Develop more friendships (get a boyfriend maybe lol) and be more active in the community.
4. Find some volunteer opportunities in the disability field.

What about you guys? Do you have any? Or do you avoid them?

Fic: Santa’s Helper (Arthur/Gwen)

Title: Santa’s Helper | AO3 | FF.Net
Author: ella_rose88
Rating: PG-13
Pairing/s: Arthur/Gwen, mentions of Merlin/Morgana
Summary: Arthur ends up taking his niece to visit Santa after her parents are unable to do so.
Warnings: Some slight swearing.
Word Count: 1,483
Author's Notes: Written as part of camelot_drabble’s Holiday Exchange 2020 for eurydice72.
I chose eurydice72’s prompt which was “one is a Santa’s helper while the other has a small child”. I originally started writing another prompt but that story was causing me stress as I couldn’t quite figure out plot details (FYI - I may still write and finish that one as well) so I decided to do this prompt and found my writing juices flowing much more easily. The inspiration for Arthur and Gwen revealing their pregnancy was from my sister and brother-in-law. While we were out for dinner celebrating my birthday they gave me a card and present. In the card it said that they were having a baby and that I was going to announce the gender by opening the gift to reveal the coloured onesie. It ended up being a pink onesie and they have the cutest little girl in the world (as well as my other niece who is also cute!lol!).
Many thanks to jesterlady for beta’ing this story for me!
