In today’s episode, MissSnowfox and Xancredible are again joined by Amphigoury and Altocello to finally continue and conclude our talk about fanart! This is the second part of a two-parter, in which we’re talking about where you can go to find fanart, and how we feel about people making money off of fanart.
The episode is roughly 2.5h long, which is yet another miracle job of editing work by Rox because still none of us can shut up, and the raw file is 4h long.

In today’s episode, MissSnowfox and Alex are joined by Brent and Joelle to discuss the ships Arthur/Morgana [Armor] and Merlin/Gwen [Merwen].
Unfortunately, Brent had some tech issues and is therefore hard to understand a lot of the time. Please be patient with it, usually Rox or Alex will sum up Brent’s point at the end. We just didn’t want to cut them from the episode entirely.

For Want of A Nail by 0hHeyThereBigBadWolf
Comment by Brent:
It’s a rewrite of the series in which Hunith leaves Merlin with Leon and his family while fleeing from Uther. I am only halfway through the story so I won’t say much, but I do love the concept and the story up until now. The story writing is also much better than what my poor eyes are usually forced to read in my desperation for an acceptable ending for the show.
The Heartbeat by LadyFromPoland
Comment by Brent:
This one is a continuation for 5×13, where Merlin discovers a way to save Arthur, obviously. But, what I actually love about this fic is the angst more than anything. It’s so painful and satisfying at the same time. I do love the relationship between Merlin, Arthur, and Gwen so much in this one. I also like how the author brought back Gilli, the boy deserved more.
Die For You In Secret by evokingmemories
Comment by Brent:
Gimme gimme gimme the Mercealot content. This is somewhat of a re-write but more of a “what went on behind the saving of Camelot”. I love this fic so much because Merlin gets someone to love, one who loved him back. I really don’t have much to say, it’s a beautiful story. But beware of the super sad ending, I cried a lot.
The Warlocks Protector by weepingelm
Comment by Brent:
It’s a MithianXMerlin which later develops into MerGwaine, and I love both of the ships so much. And this is probably the only fic I’ve ever read which gives my heartthrob Mithian what she deserves. Mithian was a wonderful character and she deserved better. This is a continuation of 5×13 with one or two minor changes in canon.
Complementarity, Entanglement and the Uncertainty of Destiny -OR- A Feminist Mage in King Arthur’s Court by Jenrose
Comment by Brent:
All I’m gonna say is that I love this fic more than any other. It’s so well written that I roleplay as Merlin in Chapter 3 on a daily basis. See your existence as a Merthur shipper, Merlin fan, and confrontation lover is literally useless if you haven’t read this. Also, the entire concept is beautiful. Just, READ IT. GO! READ IT!

Anne’s comment on Episode 42
xancredible on AO3 | tumblr | Podfic | Fanwork resources
In today’s episode, MissSnowfox and Xan talk about the eleventh episode of season two: The Witch’s Quickening. Join us for a little under 2.5h of questions over questions, a lot of rage about everything, and the regular amount of nitpicking just with fewer headcanons to fix any of the issues, sadly.
Also, if you find it strange that Connor has things to say during the talkback and then not for the rest of the episode, it’s because we used the talkback recording of a different episode and added it to this episode because tech failures mean that the Costumes episode for misc. characters wasn’t fully recorded but we managed to salvage this massive talkback.

We had to split this in two because the girls definitely did have more clothes to wear than the boys. This episode will focus on Gwen!
