Merlinity

Merlinity was a LiveJournal community created in July 2010 by Mrs Leary, featuring the rarepairs of Gaius/Merlin of Merlin (TV series) and Colin Morgan/Richard Wilson of Merlin RPF.
While the 50-year age gap between the actors (and presumably an equivalent age gap for the characters) ensured these pairings would remain rare indeed, there were about 30 posts made to this community, featuring fanart, fanfiction and discussion, as well as opportunities to contribute to other Merlin-related challenges and prompt fests. At the time of writing, there are still 13 members, despite the community not being active since July 2019.

The community's tagging system was mildly idiosyncratic. Apart from tags for character, type of fanwork, pairing, rating and universe (that is, fandom), there were also tags for the nature of the post: 
* mode: celebration 
* mode: cogitation
* mode: creation 
* mode: discussion 
* mode: information 
* mode: moderation 
* mode: recommendationMerlinity tags page, accessed 17 November 2024, and screenshotted above

Merlinpodfic

merlinpodfic is a community for podfics of stories about the BBC Merlin series. Gen, het, femmeslash, slash, and poly are all welcome. 
:"All readers are welcome, too. Whatever your accent, and whatever your level of experience, please feel free to join in."merlinpodfic. Community Profile. (Accessed 08 August 2010)
One of the rules is that readers have to "ask for permission before posting a recording of someone else's work. If you are not the author of the fic you want to read, ask the author's permission. Not everyone wants their stories recorded or they may have other recording plans or whatever. It's just polite to ask. You do not need to state that you've been given permission; I will assume that you have obtained it. But if an author complains, the post will be deleted immediately and you will be given a warning." wikinkstar. Welcome to merlinpodfic!, 22 January 2009. (Accessed 08 August 2010)

Merlinslash

Merlin Slash was a community dedicated to any and all forms of slash for BBC's show, Merlin. All pairings are welcome, so long as they stay on the topic of slash or femmeslash. The community isn't fic-exclusive and members are free to post all art, icons, wallpapers, picspams and other related material.
As of December 2010 the community has more than 2000 members.
According to the rules, keeping it on topic means: "If you have to say 'slashy if you squint', it doesn't belong here (unless it eventually leads to slash)."Community Profile. (Accessed 05 December 2010) RPS isn't allowed.
Like most communities, merlinslash has rules for tagging entries, using LJ-Cut, size limits for posting images outside a cut, not changing the size, style or colour of your font, and a recent rule: changing the settings to "Explicit Adult" for NC-17 entries or links.

Merlinxarthur

merlinxarthur is the community dedicated to the Merlin/Arthur slash pairing and the biggest Merlin community on Livejournal.
The name of the merlinxarthur community (writing the pairing as MerlinxArthur) shows that the fandom is partially influenced by yaoi fandom traditions, however, the fannish infrastructure is strongly influenced by SGA fandom veterans. A few weeks after its creation, merlinxarthur got additional mods and one of them introduced the tagging systemlavvyan. New tagging system, admin post in merlinxarthur, 14 October 2008. (Accessed 11 November 2008) that was developed and refined for mckay_sheppardmckay_sheppard. Community Profile, accessed 24 October 2010, the main John/Rodney slash community in SGA fandom. This tagging system later spread to other Merlin communities such as the merlin_vids community.
In those early weeks and months in 2008 the Merlin/Arthur slash fandom grew incredibly fast. It drew heavily from the established slash fandoms, especially SGA. By the end of November merlinxarthur had already more than a thousand members. Even more people joined after series 1 had finished and the time between winter 2008 and summer 2009 was incredibly active with a lot of fannish creative output, mostly in fic, vids and art. 
A year after it was founded merlinxathur had almost 3,800 members (still twice as much as Merlin TV and thrice as much as Merlinslash at that time), more than 5,200 entries and almost 35,000 comments.From a reference on the Merlin page that is dated 12 September 2009. In August 2010 there were more than 5700 members, more than 8800 entries and more than 56,000 comments.merlinxarthur. Community Profile accessed 07 August 2010.

Merrill

Merrill is a character from Dragon Age II.
She is a Dalish mage who leaves her clan to move into Kirkwall. She appears in the Dalish opening of Dragon Age: Origins.
Merrill is a possible romance option for both a male and female Hawke.
==Fandom==
Merrill is commonly shipped with Hawke (see Merrill/Hawke), Isabela (Merrill/Isabela), or Carver Hawke (Carver/Merrill). The Month of Merrill challenge was celebrated in 2021.
==Response to the Character==
Merrill is a generally well-liked character among many areas of fandom. However, she is often misrepresented as being ditzy, foolish, oblivious, helpless, and innocent. This is possibly a case of flanderization stemming from her sweet additude, Marethari's insistance that Merrill doesn't know what she's doing, and Merrill's fish-out-of-water behavior as she gets accustomed to living in a human city.
