I do not own Merlin. I am not trying to claim I own Merlin.
But.
But there is a reason it's my favorite kind of fanfiction to write.
When you write Avengers or Sherlock, or any other kind of fanfiction, you do it knowing there are specific creators out there that are known and that own the characters.
When you write Merlin fanfiction, you are contributing to a centuries long literary tradition of Arthurian legend. You are, by writing a drabble involving Gwaine and flying pigs adding to the canon of one of the greatest legends ever told. You join a long legacy of poets, artists, authors, and bards who have all crafted works in praise of a dream.
You can't tell me that isn't ten different kinds of incredible.
