I told you it was rampant!

Follow the link for an article in the Daily Star pointing out Merlin's slashy vibes and its gay following.

Campalot and the Court of Queen Arthur

:grins: Nice to know that it's not only the weird ravings of some slightly pervy fangirls (and I'm including myself here ^_^; ) Nice article, really. It was also interesting to read that many people 'complain' about the same thing that sometimes bothers me, historic inaccuracies. Sometimes I feel that the series tries very desperately to prove it's modern and open-minded (social hierarchies, role of women in medieval society, ethnic diversity come to mind. I didn't notice the tomatoes) that it causes problems with the suspension of disbelief for me. But then, that allows them to add all those deliciously slashy undertones. So, I can't really nag too loudly.
I especially liked the Lancelot-episode. Was he hot or was he hot! And a bit older, a man to the two youngsters. Already had a more realistic outlook, more secure in himself. Hmm, really nice! One more opportunity for tangled relationships. Not that there aren't enough already. This should generate some seriously good fanfic. It's all there, romance, crack, angst...
I'm rambling in a comment, sorry

It's definitely brilliant to get confirmation that 'it's not just us'. OMG, it's such a slashy fandom. There hasn't been an episode yet without the slashy stuff. It's so blatant and, I'm sure, deliberate.

LOL, go ahead and ramble anytime!

Brilliant, eh? And your icon is love, haha.

Lol, so true right? :D
P.S. I think they should've included "slash fans" in there too instead of just "gay fans." But maybe people wouldn't have know what they were talking about. Still.

LOL, I don't think that paper has caught on to the female slash following. Yet!
