You know you're a bit too keen on Livejournal when...

[magog_83]

...You finally FINALLY get paid, and instead of immediately rushing to the bank to put some across to your savings, you rush to your laptop to buy another 12 months of paid time on your LJ account so you can continue to track the 5378927153 kmm WIPs you are reading :D

ALSO, while I am here. There is an unanswered query on find-a-merlin HERE and it's driving me slightly crazy because I hate it when I can't remember fics. So anyway, I'm going to drop it here again in case anyone at all recognises it. I thought the first one might be 'The Dragon was a Babble Mouth' by jade-dragoness, but he doesn't really tell everyone in that fic, only Arthur. And the second one, I just don't have a clue although it sounds a very specific scene. Any ideas at all??

1.- Canon time, one about the Dragon telling everyone, and I mean everyone, that they have a destiny with Arthur and that they where meant to be and all.

2.- Modern times, Arthur and Merlin know each other, and Arthur invites Merlin to a coffee shop, this place is totally exclusive and the waiter or something doesn't want to let Merlin in, and Arthur has to stand up an get Merlin in.

There is a lot more in this last fic but this is what got stuck in my head :)

Apparently in the second one they might have met at school/uni?? Ack! I really want to help, but my Delicious-fu has failed me :(

Ahaha, fandom obsessions, I think most of us can sympathise. :D I just track all of the posts, otherwise I would probably be the same. Actually, that might just be a tad more obsessive still. *g*

I saw that fic request, and neither of them even remotely ring a bell with me. :O I was wondering if they were maybe posted on ff.net or elsewhere - I admit, if it's not posted to LJ, I haven't got a clue.

[magog-83.livejournal.com]

That could be it! Delicious sometimes throws up some ff.net stories, but not that often. It took me a while to find another request on there because it ended up being a ff.net one. Unfortunately there's not a specific enough detail for me to search for!

You wait, one day when I've completely forgotten about it, I will stumble across a random fic where Merlin can't get into an exclusive restaurant and wonder why that seems so important... ;)

Argh! Now this is driving me crazy too! :D Plus, I kinda want to read the story about Merlin not being allowed into an exclusive restaurant.

When it was offered, I switched my account to a permanent one. My partner thought I was mad but I've never regretted it!

[magog-83.livejournal.com]

Me too! I wish it was ringing a bell with me, but it just isn't :(

I love my paid account. How is a permanent account different??

[inspiredlife.livejournal.com]

It's still driving me crazy, though I just opened the story linked below so there is that. :)

I got my permanent account years and years ago; i think, IRRC , before paid accounts came into existence. At the time, it was a way to get userpic space, etc without worrying about it expiring and the such.

Apparently now, permanent accounts have all paid account features without an expiration date, plus the following:
Upload up to 150 userpics
Maximum number of loyalty userpics.
Access to 15 GB of ScrapBook photo storage space

Unfortunately, I don't recognize those fics. :/

[magog-83.livejournal.com]

I love being able to track fics, it's my favourite thing! I have so many and I tend to forget where I saw them unless I track :D

[archaeologist-d.livejournal.com]

I've read the coffee shop one but I didn't bookmark it and it was a long time ago. At least last year. It was on LJ, though.

I don't remember the dragon one at all and I read just about everything on LJ that has been published that isn't A/G.

Sorry I couldn't be of help.

[magog-83.livejournal.com]

Damn :( I'm pretty sure I haven't read it all! At least this means it's out there though, AND on lj so IT CAN BE FOUND.

::girds loins::

[archaeologist-d.livejournal.com]

I could be wrong, though. I have been before!

[magog-83.livejournal.com]

Those are the ones I'm often tracking, prompts that I really hope will one day get filled! The other reason I love tracking is because they get emailed to my phone and I can read them easily and immediately that way. Many a work break has been spent happily reading updates on my little phone screen :)

Hmmm which fic is that?? It might be the one! There aren't many details to go on, sadly :(

[katzenjammerd.livejournal.com]

Does the second one have a scene where Merlin's asked to wear a tie and jacket at a restaurant? And he gets upset with Arthur for bringing to a place like that? Because I've definitely read something like that.

Hmm, must think harder...

[magog-83.livejournal.com]

Oooh I will ask! I really want to find this fic, I want to read it myself now!

Thanks for having a think <3

[giecast.livejournal.com]

I vaguely (very vaguely) recall reading something like the 2nd one. Aaarrggh!

[magog-83.livejournal.com]

Well we have a possible (below) and I've actually read it, I just didn't remember that scene. FINGERS CROSSED.

[magog-83.livejournal.com]

Oooooh I even read that one!!! I just forgot that bit. I really, really hope it turns out to be the right one ::crosses fingers:: It does sound as near as can be :) :)

Thanks so much for linking it!
