Omg, you guys, I'd forgotten the sheer joy of writing a fic! Forgotten the pleasure of turning words into sentences into scenes into paragraphs into chapters! The flow of words on the screen, the scenes taking a life of their own as they start to fill the page, I'd forgotten how wonderful it all was! But thanks to Merlin, I've been reminded and it is good :-)

I decided to close the file and take a break, though, when I wrote 'kink' instead of 'king' one time too many, as well as "boyband" instead of "boyhood". I think my subconscious was trying to tell me I was starting to tire a bit. Or it was trying to tell me it wants me to read maybe bandom and/or under-age kinky fics. I'm still not sure.

And look at the reward I got for writing one more chapter to my fic: Panic at the Disco Live in Chicago DVD trailer! Heee boys! Heee documentary! *wants* *that is, even more than before* I still haven't ordered it, btw, would you believe it? It's just that I can't decide - limited edition or regular edition? I know it sounds like it's a no brainer but sometimes I create dilemmas even though there should be none. I need help!

Oh and speaking of DVD of Awesomeness and, in this case, of Merlin'ness - someone posted some teasers for the DVD extras and I cannot wait for the complete 1st series box set to be released! They are going to release the whole series in one box set, right? I don't want the two volumes! I want one shiny box set to gather them all! Except in order to have that, it means the first series has to be over and I refuse to think of that time when we won't have brand new Merlin on our tv every week!

Unrelated now. My brand new favourite thing to do atm? Wait to go from 11.59PM to midnight and watch the universe change right before my eyes. Or, if you want to be un-poetic, wait for gmail to change my 'planets theme' picture to the new one. I'm totally smitten with my theme, it's so gorgeous!

Writing easily is the best feeling ever.

It truly is :-) I've been unable to write for so long that I'd forgotten, I think. But it's nice to be reminded of good things sometimes so maybe it's worth the forgetting - to discover the pleasure all over again.

Aka what I tell myself to find some comfort during those times when I can't write a word for months!

Ooo...kinky Merlin/Arthur fic. *daydreams happily*

However woot!!! And yes, I can't wait for the whole season. And there had better be a whole season. I'm vaguely hoping because Merlin will be over in a couple of weeks *WOAH* that they're bringing it out in time for Christmas?

I didn't think of that, maybe what my subconscious was trying to tell me is that I need to write some kinky Merlin/Arthur fic?

that they're bringing it out in time for Christmas?

You're right, it might be what they're trying to do. It could be a nice xmas pressie to myself, that's for sure!

You know that it is. Think how much you want it!

Hehe, I'm hoping so. *fingers crossed*

Technically there's many Merlin fics I'd like to write, including for the Merlin reel challenge but writing and me, we've never had the most stable of relationships, so...

Me neither, but I get all excited about the plot bunnies nonetheless.

And the reel Merlin challenge has SO many good fic possibilities!! Miss Congeniality!Arthur. ;p

Lol Yeah, I know the feeling. Sometimes it's the one thing I can do writing wise :-)

Miss Congeniality!Arthur! Oh, just thinking about it make me want to flail lol

I'm very tempted by the gmail themes. The problem is I'm never actually at the site as I download to thunderbird. Still, I may go and change it just because.

You should just use gmail, it's so pretty now! We use thunderbird at work and I can't imagine using that one for pleasure lol

And, yes, you should change it just because. Especially as 'just because' is usually a very good reason.

You are teasing me mercilessly! When will we get to read it?

They are going to release the whole series in one box set, right?

I'm with you, I don't want Merlin in two volumes *pouts*! But they aren't advertising a complete season boxset yet, I just hope it's a matter of time...

It still isn't finished. The last chapter is apparently intent on dragging and dragging it. And it's still not betaed so I can't poste it yet.

Feels like it's taking forever, admittedly, but I can't seem to make that last chapter go any quicker *pout*

We have to have faith; they'll give us a 'complete first series of Merlin' box set, it wouldn't be buddy therwise!
