Merlaa,

I'm considering joining this site, possibly at the end of this month or the beginning of the next, but I haven't quite made up my mind fully yet.

But if you have an account on fanfiction.net by any chance, you can contact me through there, I go by the penname Adelina Le Morte March. Also, if you are at all interested in reading a Merlin/Freya fanfic despite them not being your favorite pairing, I'd love to know what you think of mine; but no pressure, you don't have to or anything.

If I DO join this wiki, as I very well might, I'll be sure to let you know as soon as I can.

As for Mists of Avalon, I'm sorry for just assuming you saw it because you were a fan of Morgana's. Anyway, I think you're really going to like it whenever you get the chance to see it. Morgaine (Morgana) is the main focus of the story. I've only seen the movie once, in low quailty a while back, but I'm hoping to find a dvd copy soon; in the time being, I recently got ahold of a hardcover copy of the book it's based on, and as I just finished re-reading The Once and Future King, that'll be the next long Arthurian novel I tackle.

Personally, I really liked how in Mists of Avalon Morgaine was never really a villian. Everything really DID happen TO her (as I had the feeling the Merlin series was trying to get across at certain points but because they still wanted to protray her as a villian may have sort of shot that idea in the foot so to speak); all of her actions were justified, and aside from letting Morgause take over raising Mordred (and even that was not entirely her fault), everything she did was justified and she was much more of a help to Arthur than a hinder in that movie. I don't want to say much more, though, and run the risk of spoiling it for you. However, if you like how in the last two seasons of Merlin Morgana has become a high priestess, you may really enjoy how Mists of Avalon actually shows her TRAINING to be one, instead of just doing a time jump. Overall, I like Merlin and Katie's protrayal of Morgana better (if they ever do a remake, Katie HAS to play Morgaine, she just DOES, LOL), but I think from a character standpoint, Morgaine was more sympathetic than BBC's Morgana.
