my policy is i will watch and enjoy a bad movie if it's bad in a fun and interesting way. what i cannot abide is a bad movie that feels soulless. for a bad movie to truly be good, there needs to be a beating heart underneath a solid layer of shlock and tat. so ends my sermon

Summary:

Balinor flees Camelot with Hunith and their child, but when the law closes in on him, he leaves his son in the care of the Great Dragon Kilgharrah. Merlin grows up on the island of dragons as the only human, and longs for something more from his life.

Ten years later a mysterious traveler arrives on the island's shores. Merlin saves him from being eaten by Wyverns, and the man introduces himself as Gwaine. Gwaine offers to take Merlin away from the island, and travel the world with him in a never ending adventure. With Merlin already doubting whether his father will return to get him, he agrees to go. After all, what could go wrong?

Turns out? A lot of things.

A/N: shout out to @merlincinema for running this event! I love a Barbie movie and this event gave me an excuse to clear this au out of to be written list. It was a lot of fun finding ways to fuse Merlin canon with Barbie!

Y’all I think another fanfic scam is going around.

[img id: a message from account avawhite inviting me to sign up for ifanfiction.com]

ifanfiction.com is a real site, but when you investigate it, there is a home page stating that their most popular genres are BTS, Werewolf, Billionaire, and Mafia using AI art as cover photos for the genre. It claims that there are 100,000+ stories published with 100 million readers. However if you try to click on any of the genre title cards, it doesn't take you to any actual writing. They also claim to have "professional editors", "fanfic community", and "work respected". The logo they used for fanfic community was a head with AI written inside it which does not inspire confidence.

Going to the authors page, there are a few paragraphs about what the benefits of writing for this site which sound like they were written by AI. They say you can also publish original fiction on that site and they will give you “fixed royalty share and bonuses from the income”. They make sure to say that all fanfic is free on their site, but later claim that users are paying to use the site. The only way to sign up as a writer is to either email the address in the screenshot above, or if you go to author.ifanfiction.com. However upon poking around the author page, there was no TOS. There also does not seem to be a sign up page to be a reader.

I followed the link to their facebook group, and found that there is only one member who is the admin. There are no posts, and the group was not created until December 14, 2023.

I investigated the tumblr that messaged me. This is what their blog page looks like.

As you can see it is blank like a bot page is. I also checked out their likes. There were only two and both were fic collection posts. They follow 8 people, 7 of whom have updated in the last day and the other updated a month ago. So it’s clear that they are active accounts which is likely how they were followed.

All of this seems really sketchy. I make no claims as to what the site is actually attempting to do, but it seems like it’s a combo of email phishing and AI scraping. I would not recommend trusting this site with any of your work, fanfic or original.

Camelot has come out of a conflict with a war lord with a few bruises. Arthur is still recovering from an injury sustained in battle, Camelot's coffers are drained, and the tension between Merlin and Arthur is palpable. With Merlin's magic freshly revealed in battle, Arthur is still struggling to convince Merlin he doesn't have a problem with it. His bright idea is to make Merlin Court Sorcerer. When Merlin rejects that idea, Arthur turns to Morgana, freshly returned to his side, hoping to convince her to be Court Sorceress instead. Given that Morgana was recently an enemy, his council has a thing or two to say about that. A deal is struck; Arthur must marry an eligible young lady to strengthen Camelot if he wants Morgana to be Court Sorceress.

Lady Lynette is polite and sweet, and Arthur gets along with her well enough. If only her brother wasn't such an asshole.
