I apologise, I'm just a person that is more of the "true to the story" pairing. I get Mab/Vortigern, it makes total sense with the tent scene. You'll see people shipping odd couples that make no sense whatsoever. Like Hermione and Quirrel in Harry Potter. I personally see no reason that ship could start. Random.
Unlike something such as... Corpse Bride. Victor/Victoria and Victor/Emily.
I personally like pairings that make a sufficient amount of sense. I can work with the Mordred thing, but I'm just happy when it's Merlin/Nimue, Morgan/Frik and Arthur/Guinevere or whatever. It's how it was meant to be
*shrug*
While Mab and Morgan don't even have some kind of "tension" scene (in that way, I mean =P)
I'm not saying that I am not alright with it, just stating my personal opinion.

If you’re personally not OK with it, that’s fine with me – everyone’s entitled to their opinion (gods know there are pairings I myself don’t like, and have said so), but stating one’s opinion and almost flaming someone are two different things. If you get my point… Anyway, I think these random pairings – even non-canon ones – can be fun. It’s not like I’m forced to either read or write one, if it doesn’t appeal to me. Apart from that, it’s rather challenging dreaming up the right circumstances for one such non-canon pairing to work. And there are people who like that, so I guess there’s one explanation for these pairings

You shouldn't take it in a bad way like you said earlier "rabid Mab fangirls" ;D Yeah I'm the same I have pairings I really hate. Sometimes I'm not bothered if they make sense or not it's just sometimes I DO NOT like them. If we were all the same we'd be one boring bunch it's more fun this way. One thing I have always said though is I'm probably one of the most open minded people you'll ever meet. I honestly mean that it's not just with pairings it's anything in general. (Well I had to have some good points. )

Yeah, we kinda are rabid fangirls, aren't we? *chuckle* I agree with what you said - different preferences makes for more interesting discussions! (You certainly had good points )

Yes, just a little. LOL! You're right. Although I probably should disagree with you, for argument's sake. ( )

I get really disliking a pairing- sometimes I even dislike canon ones, LOL.
TBH, there are several non-canon pairings that I like, and I can see working, but it's all down to the way they're written, usually. Sometimes people write them in a scenario where you find yourself going "OK, yeah, that could have happened, I can see that", but other times, the only way a pairing is written is if both characters are changed beyond recognition, and therein lies the challenge.

*waves* Heeeeello there stranger Yup I know what you mean for example Morgan/Mab they weren't an original pairing. The fandom is made up purely of the madness of our minds as I don't even recall a tension scene between the characters.

Heh. I agree that Mab/Morgan is probably the hardest pairing to pull off.

okay, my two cents:
Mab/Vortigern: My favourite pairing, as you might have guessed. I like it a lot because I think that physically Miranda and Rutger make a cute cupple. And in Merlin...his blonde hair and her dark hair...I know it's a total superficial reason, but it is appealing to me. Further, I kinda like it, because Vortigern is such a proud person, and he has the opportunity not to obey to Mab. So he is pretty much the only mortal who can do that. But finally he will have to bow to her, because she is simply stronger. *evil laughter* Oh, I am not sure what Frik said in the english original when he was talking to Merlin down in his cell, but I think he called Vortigern part of the ragtag or something, and that meant to me that he thinks of Mab as something a lot "higher" (which she obviously is) and in the next scene, Mab goes to sit on his lap...that had something a teeny tiny bit slutty for me. *snickers* Me likey!
Mab/Mordred: Can be good if one sided. I sort of like Mordred being obsessed with his aunty. I have read some good fics dealing with this!
Mab/Loke: Incest, oh how wonderful! It's dark, it's foridded...irresistable. Even if fandom-Loke is such a cheerful character.I think Himiko wrote a really good fic about those two.
Mab/Idath- I like it...especially after their brake-up, I like my Idath a bit jealous.
Uther/anyone(incl. Mab): oh my gosh, Uther is best dead.
Mab/Nimue: can be appealing if written well, somewhat sick and twisted.
Mab/Morgan: I do not see these two together at all. There was no tension and Morgan is Friks girl. end of story.
Mab/Frik: I don't like it, at all. But it can be creepy if written well --- I think Incapa did a really good drabble of doom about those two.
Mab/Arthur: Oy. Well, if Mab goes to scare the hell out of him, it can be quite amusing. And one day, when arthur is able to grow an actual beard and cut his hair, it might not even be this gross anymore!!
Mab/Merlin: yeah no, doesn't work for me.

Did you here about Miranda and Rutger working together again? And I like your thoughts on that pairing. I honestly think he was obsessed but I think it was more of who Mab was, a powerful goddess and that's all Mordred wanted more or less, power. Has Mab/Loke been mentioned before ?? Or have I been away so long and forgotten but it sounds new. Loke is an odd character to me as he is very unknown so that realationship could work however the writer pleases. Idath hurts my brain tbh I never got hold of Merlin books so to me is about as unkown as Loke barr the info I have from here and I'm not sure if he is mentioned more in the book but from what I've heard Mab/Idath sounds fabulous. Uther mmmmm yes, let's by a gun and time machine and kill him off earlier. Yeah I'm like that when it comes to Nimue to. I think maybe atleast one Mab/Morgan fic for fun but only because I like both of the characters other than that I got nothin. I love Mab/Frik love it, love it, love it ! From two sides though, on one side the whole hurt/comfort all in the name of a fantastic fic I read even though I don't know who wrote it. On the other the mistress/slave thing kinda hot ;D Let's shoot Arthur when are shooting Uther. Tell me more on why you don't like Mab/Merlin indulge me.

Oh Miranda and Rutger wanna work together again? Sweet! Where did you hear/read that?
Mab/Loke: I think himiko wrote a really cool drabble about that one...I recommend it to everyone!

Lol yeah I know, it was me who found the pics. (indersee is my name on the mrap forum) As for Himiko's fic, here it is merlinschambers.proboards.com/ind....splay&thread=38in case the link doesn't work - it's under the drabbles thread in the stories section. Enjoy, I personally think it's a piece of art. In case himiko ready this - I totally loved it!
