#f: camelot fleet

[multsicorn]

why is it so hard to think of a song for ‘i am just a simple royal guard hopelessly in love with my two sovereigns’. (gen/costis/attolia, but, yeah, you get this in the arthurian legends too.)

“may queen” by heather dale semi works cause it’s about the arthur/lancelot/guinevere triangle already, though it’s a bit narratively specific in unhelpful ways, but! there’s just not a lot of love songs about being in love with a couple

and if there’s not much fic i need something to feed my #feels

~

and in that moment i understood how he could love her

and what they shared would never be for me

i understood but yet i’ve never really conquered

that part inside that wishes it had been me

Don't let it be forgot that for one, brief, shining moment there was a Camelot. There was a fleeting wisp of glory called Camelot.

Fic Meme! 1, 13, 36, and 44, please?

thank yoU!

1. What was the first fandom you got involved in?

My normal answer to this question is Glee.  (but you know that, I think.)  It’s the first fandom I posted fic or meta in with my name attached.  (And for all of tumblr’s shortcomings, this was in large part because tumblr lowered the entry barrier, too.)

But the *first* fandom I got involved in, for real?  No names, was Merlin back in 2008-09, on the second anon meme that fandom had.  (I was SO SAD when that meme’s atmosphere changed, then it died; I never went on to the third ‘mean’ meme.)  I posted a few tiny fics there, even, and I stayed up till late at night, arguing about I can’t even remember what, for the most part.  … but it was also a pale shadow of everything I do in fandom now, cause I still had my old livejournal that I shared with all my college friends, and for god knows what fucking reason, I didn’t just make a second one for fandom, so, I tried to keep everything I did there ~secret.

And the first fandom I wrote fic for that I shared with only my sister, and ship warred with my best friend over in middle school at lunch, if *that* counts as involved ;), with no strangers or internet, was Tortall.

13. Any NoTPs?

Still anything involving Sebastian, I guess ;).  (… I feel like the tables turned SO MUCH, having fallen for the ‘divisive and lots of fandom has his name bl'ed for good reasons’ one-could-argue-abusive character in my latest canon, @me, why.)

And incest in general, by default - I will ship some sibling incest ships in specific circumstances - basically, either the 'we never knew we were and/or didn’t grow up as siblings’ that for most people is typified by Luke/Leia but for me is many takes on Arthur/Morgan, or the 'we’re both fucked up to hell and it’s us against the world’ of e.g. Simon/River - but, so, most sibling pairs I don’t want to see as fucked up enough for the incest to make sense to me.  so e.g. Schuylercest would’ve been a NoTP in Hamilton, if there was ever much of it around anyway.

I’m thinking and I really really don’t have any NoTP’s in Check, Please! fandom.  Tons of pairings I generally don’t care much about - but will check out if I like the author or rec enough - and, I mean, I mostly don’t buy breaking zimbits up.  So endgame Jack or Bitty with someone else (and not in a poly scenario)…  I’ll give it a chance?  But I’m not sure anyone’s convinced me yet.

36. What’s your favourite genre to write?

Am I actually capable of writing more than genre, um.  The 'very little actually happens but people have lots of feelings and furthermore probably nothing is resolved genre,’ aka I guess once in a while I might? manage to write something else.

(also, NOT PORN, omg, I’m always finding myself writing porn and just feeling like I’m … bad… at the porn aspect, but I can’t always just skip over it for Characterization Reasons; likewise NOT HUMOR, I can’t make a joke for the life of me; and definitely NOT FLUFF lol… maybe angst?  by default?  but usually kinda ambiguous and lowkey angst.  If that is a genre.)

44. What ship do you feel needs more attention?

ALL OF THE SHIPS I WANT TO READ…. lol, I am kidding.  But I don’t know!  I feel like all my favorite ships - parse/oc, (particularly parswoops @des-zimbits’ OCs and not actual characters, that is NOT ACTUALLY AN ANSWER MULTS geez.  It is my instinct, though.  (And I don’t have a real answer.)
