Hello followers/reader. I don't usually do the whole chapter of author's notes but I feel this one is helpful, so I apologize for tricking people into thinking this is another chapter *don't throw fruit and veg*

The one thing I dislike about this website is the fact I can't put things into series' like on A03. But a few reviews (which I will reply to anyway) have asked about a series of Ealdor stories and...YES, I am planning on doing a series, or at least a few more. :D

Here are the notes from my series on A03 just to clear it up a bit...

EALDOR SERIES: What happened in the time before Camelot? When Merlin was just a boy struggling with his powers in a village full of people who hate him?

A series of short fics and stories of Merlin's times in Ealdor. I just always liked the idea of knowing his history, especially due to all the times he spoke of it, and they weren't always in the best light, they always seemed to hold an air of sadness over them. I do hope to write 'some' happy ones, but knowing me they'll all end up angsty and sad. :/

As I mentioned in my notes for 'Embers', I never decided if Ealdor knew of Merlin's powers, but for the purpose of these stories, they did, and let's say they weren't happy about them.

So yes, I am hoping to get more of these stories out, I do have ideas but any hints of what people might like are much appreciated, I like to make my readers happy if possible.

Thank you and sorry again for making this an author's note chapter.
