DEAR MERLIN FANS,
Have you ever been dragged along to a dinner party where all the guests are couples and you're forced to sit through insufferable amounts of smugness and endless talk about minibreaks or anniversary gifts? Have you ever been in the same room as people calling each other hideous endearments like 'pumpkin' or 'turtledove' with NO sense of irony? Have you ever had to sit by helplessly and watch your once independent friend 'like' every staus their boyfriend/girlfriend writes on Facebook?
Then THIS FIC is the fic for you.
Julia, aka
rayslady, is the most incredible writer of humour I think the Merlin fandom has. She has this knack for writing instantly quotable lines, clever turns of phrase you kind of want to put on an icon because you know you'll giggle EVERY TIME you read it. Her characters are clear and diverse, their dialogue witty and real, and for a humourous fic, there is a real kick of emotion that sneaks up on you and nudges you in the back of the knee so your leg collapses.
I can't rec this enough.

Date: 2010-10-21 01:43 am (UTC)not that I won't read it if I will be embarrassed, but I need to..like, find a scenario that will fit the level of embarrassment..otherwise I will scream and exit the screen and never read it..but if I was somewhere really bored with nothing to do then the embarrassment would seem not so embarrassing and I would read it, ya know?
so say..between one and five, 1=walking around with toilet paper stuck to your shoes and 10=walking around with a blood stain on your bottom, which number would this fic be? thank you for your input.
