Camelot Remix

[sophinisba]

One of my first Merlin fics, written a little while after I watched season one, was about Gwen figuring out that Merlin was gay and telling him she was fine with that. I'm so pleased that my camelotremix remixer decided to write another version of that, with lots of Lancelot being a dear and Morgana being fabulous and warm season one feelings. It is called My Friends, They Are So Beautiful (the Belle Epoque remix), and it is awesome.

The last remixes went up last Saturday and the authors' names will be revealed this coming weekend. Some others that I enjoyed a lot are Be Thy Mercies Known (Send Her Victorious remix), which takes a fun Arthur/Merlin + friends party fic and remixes it into something super sad, Danger Zone (The Being Safe is Overrated Remix), a longish Arthur/Merlin high school AU (with magic!) that just has a really nice deft touch, and Falconress (the wind beneath your wings remix), a lovely short post-canon fic about Hunith and Merlin. But I'm sorry to say I've only read or looked at a small fraction of them. What are your favorites?

I have read embarrassingly little. It's sort of what I worried might happen, that I'd get overwhelmed by all the boyslash and lose interest. But I'm delighted I participated, because the remix of my fic The One Where a Bear and a Dragon (and Morgana) Save the Ending From Being Eaten By Canon (The Grimm and Bear It Remix) is so fucking awesome, and basically everything I could want.

Actually, when I was reading it I thought it might have been by you. It reminded me, in the best possible way, of that remix of selenak's fic that you wrote a couple of years ago. So if it was you then I really do love the bones of it, and if it wasn't, then I mean my mistake in the most flattering of ways, and you can consider it a wholehearted rec.

That one is not by me! I read about half of it before bed the other night and then decided I should be more awake for it because it was so smart. Maybe I will finish it tomorrow! (Not tonight because I am sick and just took some Nyquil so I should be passing out soon.) And thank you for remembering my remix of SelenaK's fic! I am still proud of that one.

Remember it? It's one of my top ten favourite fics from all of my time in Merlin fandom. I adore it.

Feel better!

Aw thanks that makes me feel really good!

Also I went back and read The One Where a Bear yesterday and it was AMAZING! Am definitely very flattered you thought it could have been me. I think I'll try to find out how malu-3 feels about podfic...
