Happy new year, f-list! I assume everyone's following the Gregorian calendar here, though you never know. My high school history and philosophy teacher used to be a fan of the French Revolution's calendar. That man is awesome. Anyway that's neither here nor there.

I JUST WANTED TO INFORM YOU ALL THAT I WROTE FIC IN WHICH ARTHUR AND MERLIN HAVE A KID NAMED EDITH.
There would sparkly text here but I can't be arsed to find the code because I spent the last forever putting up voting for camelot_fics. Actually it'd be helpful if you voted too, you can vote even if you're not a member. Though, well, the entries are all kind of depressing. My fault for choosing a depressing theme, I suppose.
BUT! LEMME TELL YOU ABOUT THE EDITHFIC! ACTUALLY LEMME LINK YOU TO IT AND IT'LL BE QUICKER:
The littlest Pendragon * Merlin * Arthur/Merlin, Uther * PG * ~3,000 words

Also I finally can de-anon for thegameison_sh's challenge... I wrote a zombie!fic for it. IDK why since I'm not much a fan of zombies but it was the first thing that came to my mind.
Hold on for your life * Sherlock * John Watson * PG * ~800 words

I'd steal the long-ass end-of-year fanfic meme but it's long and I have stuff to do (like sleeping) so I'll just do this instead. Stolen from hiza_chan because she steals my memes so turnabout's fair play. ♥

Give me a pairing and I'll tell you:
1. When or if I started shipping them:
2. What I think their challenge is:
3. What makes me happy about them:
4. What makes me sad about them:
5. What moment I wish had never happened:
6. Who I'd be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other:
7. My happily ever after for them:

There was a second meme here but I forgot I'd already done it. Haha fail.

FIRST OH HECK YES!

Merlin/Arthur, plz <3

*off to steal your memes, read your fic and vote*

HAPPY NEW YEAR, BB

OH LOL IS THERE A PRIZE FOR FIRST COMMENTERS THAT I WASN'T AWARE OF?

Also I probably should have read both memes before posting since I've already done the second one ages ago. I r dumb. BUT HERE'S THE MEME, VERSION ARTHUR/MERLIN.

1. When or if I started shipping them: a couple of days before starting to watch the show. Yeah, you read that right. I, uh, found this author whose style I liked, but she'd written only a couple of stories for my fandom. But she'd also written several A/M stories so I read one just to see how it was and kind of fell in love with the boys there and then.
2. What I think their challenge is: getting to treat each other as an equal instead of prince/manservant-with-seekrit-magic-powers.
3. What makes me happy about them: THEIR CUTENESS. OH GOD WHERE CAN I EVEN START TO DESCRIBE THE CUTENESS THAT IS A/M. AND THE BANTER. BRB DEAD OF LOVE.
4. What makes me sad about them: that Merlin still doesn't trust Arthur enough to tell him about his magic.
5. What moment I wish had never happened: urgh, all of the abuse in S3. Especially the scene where Arthur threw a goblet or something at Merlin's head. Was that supposed to be funny? :/
6. Who I'd be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: with Gwaine. Because everything is better with Gwaine.
7. My happily ever after for them: just like the happily ever after everyone imagines for the series... Arthur becomes king, Merlin is his sorcerer/advisor, Arthur marries Gwen but everyone knows he and Merlin are together. I assure you that's what will happen, I have a horde of crazy fangirls agreeing with me on this.

Happy new year to you too. ♥

Kurt/Puck, if you actually ship it. If not, Blaine/Kurt, though I can probably guess the answers. *grin*

[renrenren3]

I can fill the meme for both of them though since the K/P part will be veeery short. XD
The other is a wall of text. I, er, blame it on you for giving me my current obsession to rave about.

Kurt/Puck
1. When or if I started shipping them: I don't really ship them... I was discussing it with a fellow fan the other day, I just don't see them together since they barely interact. It was a surprise for me when I saw it was one of the most popular Kurt ships in the fandom. XD
2. What I think their challenge is: that Puck is, well, Puck, and not the best person to start a loving and stable relationship with.
3. What makes me happy about them: that... IDK, Puck stood up to Karofsky for Kurt. And they're friends. Friend-ish.
4. What makes me sad about them: that Puck is not who I'd want Kurt with, by a long shot.
5. What moment I wish had never happened: er, the dumpster-tossing in the first eps?
6. Who I'd be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: Kurt with Blaine (no duh) and Puck with anyone else really: Rachel, Quinn, Finn and Santana in order of preference.
7. My happily ever after for them: I'd be happier if they didn't get together. Sorry for defeating the whole purpose of the meme.

Kurt/Blaine
1. When or if I started shipping them: during Furt, towards the end of that ep. I know there had already been two eps and the fandom had exploded but I was still wondering if Blaine could be a jerk like Jesse and if Kurt could handle relationship drama on top of all the crap he was dealing with. Then when he decided to transfer I thought he needed a good guy so I started hoping that Blaine would be that guy. It helped that when I watched Furt I caught up with the newest episodes aired up to then so I could read the interviews and spoilers and found out that Blaine would be a regular and so on.
2. What I think their challenge is: I think Blaine's the one with more issues out of the two -- mind you, I'm not one of those who think he should DIE IN A FIRE because he dared to tell Kurt that he should conform to Dalton's boring standards instead of being himself. But I want Kurt to teach him something about metaphors and canaries and cages. POSSIBLY WITH GLITTER.
3. What makes me happy about them: where to start? If I had to pick one thing, just one thing, it's how Kurt smiles when he's around Blaine. WHY SO CUTE.
4. What makes me sad about them: they're in Glee. The show in which, after getting together despite all odds, couples fight and break up after two episodes over the most stupid reasons. I'm hoping against hope that when Kurt and Blaine get together (since it seems like a done deal now, though I assume they'll try to drag it out for as long as they can) they will DEFY GRAVITY and Glee logic by staying together for the rest of the series.
5. What moment I wish had never happened: I'm pretty much happy with all of them. I didn't really like their performance of Hey Soul Sister but that's just because I could never stand the song.
6. Who I'd be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: my OTP is still Kurt/Happiness so if Kurt could find someone he was happy with, it'd be fine by me. I doubt there's anyone who qualifies in the show now, though. I used to like Kurt/Finn but after Furt I like them better as brothers. AWW DANCING TOGETHER. ♥ As for Blaine, I'm not even sure there are other pairings with him (apart from crackpairings obv, there are always crackpairings). But likewise, he looks like a decent guy so anyone who makes him happy.
7. My happily ever after for them: IT INVOLVES SAPPINESS, A WEDDING THAT PUTS BURT AND CAROLE'S TO SHAME, A HOUSE WITH A WHITE PICKET FENCE, TWO KIDS AND PUPPIES. You're allowed to gag at this point, I'll be sitting here grinning like a loon at the thought that it's a canon pairing (almost) and it could actually happen.
