UNPOPULAR OPINION!

Something discomfits me about Pairing: Pendragon/Merlin, but I can't put my finger on it, I really can't. It's cute and all, but...I thought it'd be more cutting and it's not.

(Maybe that all the female characters in it are sorta insipid? I do know it's not that I can't stand what I see in the mirror, okay, so don't say it's that.)

Am I completely alone in this?

Male fans are sparkly and special, female fans either worship/support them or are jealous harpies.

I'm so glad I wasn't the only person who read it that way.

And the thing is, with an "Arthur is a movie star" AU or whatever it doesn't feel so weird, but given that this is about fanfic writers aimed at and written by fanfic writers it felt a bit creepy. I mean, there are some male fanfic writers I really admire, but they're not ~special~.
