Hi all

Okay, I have migrated my journal over to Dreamwidth.  I am here if you want to join me: https://clea2011.dreamwidth.org/

I know a few people have been having problems with the migration.  Under the cut is a VERY rough guide (now edited to include community imports).

I've signed up for another year of Merlin Bingo. Here's this year's card:

Title: Light of the Sun
Author: clea2011
Artist: lfb72
Pairings/Characters: Arthur/Merlin, Hunith/Ygraine
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 111k
Warnings: None
Disclaimer: All characters belong to Shine and BBC. No copyright infringement intended.
Author's notes: 
I think the idea for this came from something Camelittle asked for as one of her ideas for last years Merlin Holidays. Thankfully her gifter used one of her other ideas and I was able to pinch it.
Thanks to Wasp and Cam for betaing this thing and coming up with lots of great ideas.  And a huge thank you to LFB for putting up with me for yet another year and providing such amazing art. LFB has been slightly distracted with her brilliant channel swimming achievement this year, she is amazing!

Artist's notes:
I was delighted when Clea asked if we could work together. We've collaborated before so to be asked again is a good sign. She promised dragons and dinosaurs and Arthur in an Indiana Jones outfit, running around in tight trousers and getting all hot and bothered - how could I refuse?
So, this is the bit where I say my dog ate my homework except I have not got a dog, just two cats that sit on my artwork but they are not responsible for me being very behind. Anyone who read my previous art post for ACBB will know I said I took on a physical challenge that took up all my time and energy - I swam the English channel. Even when I'd completed it time ran away and I really struggled to knuckle down and get things done which is no reflection on Clea's fic which is absolutely stunning. So here I am at 3am having worked all weekend trying to post in the last few hours of amnesty... it is what it is, I'm determined to produce something.
Summary:
In a world where everyone knows that creating Jurassic Park was a bad idea...
Just because it could be done, that didn’t mean that it should.  It was a pity that Cenred King didn’t get the memo. And that he ever got Ygraine DuBois involved.

This is the story of two generations of palaeontologists. A tale of love in a time of dragons. And dinosaurs.
A fanfic 65 million years in the making.

Author: clea2011
Fandoms: Atlantis
H/C: Family, Runaways
Title: Constellations
Medium: Fic
Rating: G
Warnings: None
Summary: Icarus wonders about his place in the world.

Written for the HC Bingo May challenge - small fandoms. The fandom has to have less than 500 fics on A03, so Atlantis falls into that category. It's for the square 'Family' (and also fits runaways too).
Not betaed, hopefully not too many errors.
This is a gift for deinonychus_1, who loves this show and did the old pleading puppy thing when I mentioned that Atlantis was an option again. Hope you like it!

Wordcount: 3760

Author's note: Written for HC bingo square Atonement

Title: Under your Skin
Wordcount: 2248
Rating: Teen
Arthur/Merlin
Warning(s): None
Author's note: Written for HC bingo square 'bodyswap'
Summary: Uther hated sorcerers. He particularly hated ones that he caught in bed with his son. Burning was probably too good for them, but the crowds always seemed to enjoy it and Uther liked to think of himself as a benevolent king. But burning powerful sorcerers can sometimes have unexpected consequences.
In which Uther gets a taste of his own medicine.
