Hi everyone! So tomorrow starts my journey into the world of fanfiction. I was a huge fan of the BBC show Merlin and terribly disappointed with the ending. (Spoiler alert- although not really a spoiler alert because it happens in all of the Arthurian canon: Arthur dies). That, of course, wasn't the problem. For my thesis in grad school, I studied the impact of Guinevere on the archetype of the female in Medieval culture, so I was well aware of Arthur's fate. As popular legend has it, Arthur will rise again in Albia's greatest time of need.

My problem was the final showdown between Merlin and Morganna. (Spoiler alert: In the BBC show, Morganna, sometimes known as Morgan la Fey, is a product of her environment and becomes the big bad.) There were no fireworks or heartbreak. It was mundane and boring. Blah.

So I've been working on an idea to bring everyone back as Arthur rises again. So if you're a fan of the show, or even if you're not but you love the King Arthur canon, come check it out! You'll be able to find it for free on wattpad (username abbie_chandler) and on my blog at www.MyCreativeCauldron.wordpress.com.

Thanks for checking in and have a great weekend!

Check out the beginning of my Merlin fanfiction. Arthur is destined to rise again, but the sorcerer by his side is no longer the naive young man.
