Merrill/Hawke

Merrill/Hawke is a popular pairing of Merrill and Hawke from Dragon Age II. It can be either femslash or het depending if players created a female or male Hawke.
==Canon==
Merrill is a possible romance option for both a male and female Hawke. Both the friendship and rivalry romances are available to those who wish to romance Merrill. During the course of the romance the player can convince Merrill to regain her peoples history and aid her in the quest, or to give up on the past and quit trying altogether. As with other romance options in Dragon Age II Merrill's armor can be upgraded upon completion of various stages of the romance subplot. Merrill also has the option of moving in with Hawke during the second act of the game. After the final decision is made by Hawke and if Merrill's romance arc has been pursued she will affirm her love for Hawke and they will share an intimate moment before the game concludes. Varric's epilogue will state that every companion of Hawke's had to separate from the Champion's side, "Except Merrill of course". 
==Fandom==
As Merrill is a potential love interest for Hawke they are often paired together, although the pairing is typical more popular in femslash.

Merry Smutmas

Merry Smutmas was a very popular LiveJournal based Harry Potter Holiday fic exchange that ran from 2003 to 2007. Merry Smutmas was created and maintained by GMTH in 2003.
GMTH wrote that Merry Smutmas was the first fic exchange to use the "tell me your kinks and squicks and I'll write/draw something just for you" model, and I am more proud of that than I can say. It caught on like wildfire almost from the moment the first round of Smutmas concluded in January, 2004, and has not stopped spreading since. There are fests using this model running all year long in the HP fandom now, in all genres and in a wide variety of pairings, and it's made incredible inroads into other fandoms, as well. It's an amazing feeling to have had a hand in that. Ironically, though, the popularity of the Smutmas model is exactly what has rendered it redundant. And while I'm sad about that in many ways, I'm also very glad that it's going out on such a high note, and that's all down to you, the participants and watchers in Smutmas 2007.

Merry has made vids in SGA, Numb3rs, and Smallville; her SGA vid "Hello" (2005) was a notable pimping vid and brought many people into SGA fandom. You can find some of her vids at her vid page.

* Along with Nita, Merry created the Interim Sentinel Slash archive (which later became 852 Prospect under Nita's management) after the original Sentinel Slash archive became defunct in 1997.

Mervyn Binns

Mervyn ('Merv') Binns (8 July 1934 - 7 April 2020) was a long-time, prominent science fiction fan and a well-known bookshop owner in Melbourne, Australia. 
From his involvement with the Melbourne Science Fiction Club, Space Age Books, and the Aussiecon conventions, Merv became one of Australia's most significant science fiction activists over the course of some decades.
In 1998, he married long-time MSFC member Helena Roberts, and they were together until his death in 2020.
==Melbourne Science Fiction Club==
Merv later recalled his lifelong interest in science fiction and how this led him to join the Melbourne Science Fiction Group (later renamed the Melbourne Science Fiction Club) at the age of seventeen:
Co-founder of the group, Race Mathews, confirmed that Merv was one of its foundation members:
Science fiction historian Dr. Leigh Edmonds testified to Merv's activism in the early years of the MSCF:
He also acknowledged Merv's tireless fan activism:
Merv's activities were many and varied, as Bob McCubbin acknowledged in 1953:
In 1999, Bruce Gillespie acknowledged Merv's long-standing activism:
==Space Age Books==
After leaving McGills, Merv founded Space Age Books in 1971, and it became a hub of activity for the MSFC and other multifandom activities. Authors (including international SF authors) often visited the shop, such as David Gerrold in 1985.Unknown, 'News', in Michael Wauchope & Damien Bismark (eds.) Ethel #3, Melbourne Science Fiction Club, June/July 1985, p. 6. Many local fans, including John Edwards Davies, testify how Space Age Books was important in linking them up with local fan communities.
Bruce Gillespie recalls the relatively sudden downturn of Space Age Books in 1985 and speculates as to its demise:
In November 1985, it was announced in Ethel #6 that the MSFC would be moving its library out of Space Age Books because:
Two months later, Phil Pribaz eulogised the shop:
==Aussiecon==
Merv later wrote about the link between Space Age Books and the bid for Aussiecon, Australia's first World Science Fiction Convention in 1975: 
==Ongoing Science Fiction Activism==
Merv published a number of fanzines and mail order catalogues, and was GoH at varied conventions. He and his wife Helena were made Honorary Life Members of Continuum conventions and MSFC. They attended various conventions and other local SF events as circumstance permitted, although they were both beset with health issues in later years. They also continued to attend dinners at a local hotel with friends. 
Merv suffered from heart issues towards the end, and he died during the first year of COVID (lockdowns did not permit a funeral).
==Legacy==
In memory of Merv and Helena Binns, and to honour their seeding grants, Continuum Conventions runs a community grants fund that offers free memberships to deserving fans.
Leigh Edmonds eulogised Merv:
