Haha, yes. I took me two tries to watch the series because I've loved the Arthurian legends for a long time and it seemed a travesty to me. And secondarily while I could go along with some of the changes, it wasn't well written and was just an awful show for female characters.
It was actually a fan vid and a steampunk Merlin fanfic that convinced me to give it another try. Writing aside there were some beautiful scenes in the show, and I realized it was full of possibilities, even if the canon itself was wanting.
TLDR Details
The March Meta Matters Challenge is focused on not just new meta, but making sure older meta gets a chance to be read and remain a part of fandom history. Join us in March to start archiving your work!
