Hello!

I am a diehard Merlin and Game of Thrones fan. Other shows I like include: Sherlock, Breaking Bad, Stargate Atlantis, Supernatural, Farscape. But basically, I just love TV.

Discovering the world of fanfiction has been awesome, both to read and write for. I'm often amazed by how creative people can be, and how supportive the community is. Writing is a hobby for me (I wish I were a real author!). However, that being said, I really like good stories and strive to make my fanfics entertaining. In GRRM's words, I want to write what I like to read.

I'm really amazed by the way GoT characters feel like real people--instead of just plot devices made to fit some storyline the author is trying to tell. Rather, the characters are so strong that you are invited to think about what he/she (based on what you understand of this character) would do when put into certain situations. Here are some characters I've really liked from various shows. This will probably be updated as I write more stories :)

Merlin Characters

Merlin = young and inexperienced, but stubborn; extremely loyal to Arthur and kind to everyone

Arthur = terrified of 'the feels' and manhugs; strong sense of duty; cares a lot about Merlin from a distance

Uther = unreasonable and cruel; given that he once used magic to help conceive Arthur, I think he's got some reaction formation going on

Morgana = wants to believe in the correctness of her choices; holds grudges and has a vindictive streak

Morgause = ruthless but believes in the correctness of her missions and goals

Gwaine = nomadic and generally jovial; light-hearted but honorable

Gaius = not rash (didn't step forward during the Great Purge); cares for Merlin in a fatherly way

Game of Thrones Characters

Ned Stark = extremely loyal and honorable; unwilling to compromise his values

Cersei = bitter and vindictive

Arya = young and sometimes immature; strong sense of justice
