I've signed up for another year of Merlin Bingo, having failed to complete any squares at all last year.
Here's this year's extremely pretty card (which is a copy of last years as it seemed a bit horrible of me to ask the mods to produce a whole new one):

I've signed up for another year of Merlin Bingo, having failed to complete many squares at all last year.
Here's this year's extremely pretty card:

Title: The Secret Life of Dragons
Author: Clea2011
Pairing(s): Arthur/Merlin, Aithusa
Word Count: 9043
Rating: PG-13
Contains :No warnings required
Disclaimer: Merlin characters are the property of Shine and BBC. No profit is being made, and no copyright infringement is intended.
Notes: Many thanks to Wasp, Cam and LFB for their help and ideas.
This was inspired by LFB's adorable artwork 'Tangled' which is here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/43918842
Do go and leave it some love!

Summary Arthur barely tolerated living with Merlin's pet cat. (Merlin's clearly magical pet cat because how else was it scorching the dining table?).

Even in modern times, the trouble with dating a dragonlord-in-waiting was that sooner or later a dragon was bound to turn up.

In which Aithusa is living her best life and Arthur is in love.

Just checking up on all my past ACBBs and don't appear to have reposted this one to my journal, so just rectifying that before signing for this year. I am going to do an epilogue for this one at some point as well.

“Meet Jacob.

He’ll cook, clean, take care of your every whim, without complaint. He is the perfect companion. And he could be yours.Ever wanted to replicate a loved one who has sadly passed?

Notes: I was so pleased to get you as my remixee, Cookie. I had a great time reading through all your fics. I saw you were keen on a modern royalty remix and this one jumped out at me. Hope you like what I've done with your fic.
Many thanks to my beta readers for their help and encouragement. And a big thank you to the mods for running this fest again!
Summary: Merlin likes working for Prince Arthur.
At least, he does until the day that King Uther has his worst idea ever and uses magic to locate soulmates for Arthur and Morgana.
It's a terrible idea. Everyone tells him as much. But Uther wants grandchildren. And anyway, when did Uther ever listen to anyone else?

It's the last one on LJ.  All on DW next year.

Hi all

Okay, I have migrated my journal over to Dreamwidth.  I am here if you want to join me: https://clea2011.dreamwidth.org/

I know a few people have been having problems with the migration.  Under the cut is a VERY rough guide (now edited to include community imports).

ADDITION - instructions on how to claim your LJ ID - this will allow you to edit the entries you've transferred to DW properly. Very useful. https://www.dreamwidth.org/support/faqbrowse?faqid=84

How to save your scrapbook pics - https://siderea.dreamwidth.org/1754427.html - I have tried the second method halfway down the page and it works (basically go to an album in your scrapbook, click on publish all to entry, select 'original' as the size, set journal entry to private, name the entry the album name, post, scroll down the post to load all pics then right click save as web page.  It's all downloaded on your computer.

I seem to have written far more Primeval than I ever expected to.  And now I'm writing Merlin too.  For now it can all go on one list...
Currently HORRIBLY out of date.   My A03 account is here: http://archiveofourown.org/users/Clea2011 - all the Merlin is on there, and most Primeval non-drabbles from the past year.
( Masterlist here...Collapse )

I'm moving my list of P100 drabbles to a separate post, as I do need to mark up which of the past challenges I've done and which I haven't.  There's rather a lot still waiting to do...
