Merlin Fan Made Opening Credits Game of Thrones Style

Merlin Fan Made Opening Credits Game of Thrones Style is a Merlin fusion trailer by Lozzeh13.
Vidder's notes:
==Reactions==
*"This just gave me﻿ all-over goosebumps! Shine is going to have to work hard to top this when they finally get round to redoing the opening credits!" (Aprlmoore)
*"this was just brilliant! The music fits just right, in particular now that Merlin is more maturing, the edits and your blending of other parts such as the map and the dragon﻿ theme throughout just made you want to rewatch the vid over again. Loved your scene selection. Just brilliant!" (dusty1912)
*"I've literally been sitting﻿ here tapping my feet waiting for someone to do this. And it's about time. But this was so worth the wait because good God woman. I love that you did the sword thing for each member of the cast. That's what really brought the two together. You didn't just rely on the music. The use of the map and overlays was amazing as well. This really is just so well done." (meeshell384)
*"I'm speechless.﻿ That was absolutely fricking incredible. I've never seen fanmade opening credits as professional and awesome looking as that. Such an excellent job! Makes me want to watch Merlin all over again now" (MissKirbyHood13)
*"The darkest hour...is just before the dawn." That gave me chills! Excellent opening! I love how you seem to describe the characters merely through imagery and I loved the little﻿ nods to other characters like Freya, Mordred, Edwin, etc."

Merlin Flashfic

Merlin Flashfic was a bi-weekly fanfiction challenge community for the BBC show Merlin. It is modeled after other flashfiction communities like ds_flashfiction and sga_flashfic and has similar rules. The basic idea of the community is very simple: "every two weeks a challenge will be posted and then lots of lovely stories get posted in response."janne_d. The Flashfic's Call, 12 November 2008. (Accessed 31 October 2010)
From the profile:
:Challenges will be posted to the comm at roughly fortnightly intervals and responses must be posted before the challenge is closed. [...] 
:Please make suggestions for future challenges – just comment with the idea in response to a previous challenge.
:Posts must not be OT: they must be a response to the current challenge or a request for a beta for a challenge response.
:The minimum length for a story is 100 words. [...] If your story is longer than the LJ post limit, it can be posted to a separate web page and a link posted to the community instead. Aside from that exception, stories should be posted directly to this community and only to this community, and not cross-posted elsewhere (including personal LJs). This rule only applies while a challenge is running; once the challenge has closed you are free to post it wherever you like.
:All genres (except for RPF), pairings and ratings are welcome as long as they meet the conditions of the challenge. [...]
==Notable merlin_flashfic Stories==
*Beltane by astolat (Celebration challenge) - "There is a story that is not told in Ealdor anymore, not for many years now, a story about Beltane Eve." 
*By Strength and by Virtue by casspeach (Make Them Do It challenge) - magical creature, in this case, rather than aliens.
*Despoiled by astolat (Transformation challenge) - In which various people become various things they weren't before. 
*Obeisance by casspeach (Knee-walking challenge) - It's not that Arthur won't share his toys, just that he expects to get them back undamaged. 
*Reciprocation by astolat (primae noctis challenge) - The workplace sensitivity training of Arthur Pendragon.
*Treason to Us by janne_d (Secrets challenge) - Arthur finds out. And he does not react well. 
*Winter's Trial by janne_d (Winter challenge) - The first snows of winter have fallen and Arthur has Merlin to find and a test to pass out in the cold, or neither of them will make it back to Camelot.

Merlin Hot Recs

Merlin Hot Recs is a Merlin recommendation community on LiveJournal. It was founded by marguerite_26 and since February 2012 it is run by rebeccaann08 and winterstorrm.marguerite_26 in merlin_hotrecs. Introducing your new mods, 23 February 2012. (Accessed 25 February 2012)
The community is based on the daily_snitch's 'hot rec' category in Harry Potter fandom. It is a way to tell ‘fandom at large’ that a fic is well liked and maybe worth a look.
The community accepts all fanworks, pairings and genres. However, as both mods are reccers, they have strict rules as to when one of their own recs can be included (only one mod rec between the two of them can count towards the three required recs, recs by one mod of the comm for the other mod don't count, and if a mod is modding or participating in a fest that is also a contest, that mod's recs cannot count towards the three required recs.)

Merlin RPF

Merlin RPF is the RPF fandom centred around the actors in the television series Merlin, which began airing on the BBC in 2008.
==Fandom==
The fandom is mostly about shipping the actors, posting pictures, hunting down specials and everything else that can count as RPF canon. The most popular pairing is Bradley/Colin, the RPF counterpart of the very popular Merlin/Arthur. Other pairings include Angel/Katie, Angel/Bradley, Colin/Katie, and Bradley/Katie. The Children in Need specials have inspired a Pudsey!AU 'verse that can be RPF but often it's about the characters of the show.
The Merlin Slash Awards had categories for Bradley/Colin fanfic, vids, and fanart and especially in Merlin slash fandom it's quite common that people ship both the characters and the actors. Sometimes the actors might even be reincarnations of the characters or the actors discover their feelings for each other because of the subtext between the characters. Sometimes it's the other way around and their real world relationship colors the dynamic between their fictional counterparts.
