Don't tell fans are interested in slash first and plot second

What is up with all the Merlin interest? It is a bit naff after all.

.....a bit naff...

?

What does that mean?

[simonf.livejournal.com]

A bit crap and tacky.

[menomegirl.livejournal.com]

Ah. Well, that makes perfect sense now. :)

Thanks for the clarity!

I think people are desperately seeking a new "slash" fandom now that SGA is over. There seems to be an implicit consensus that Merlin is the fandom that all SGA fans are switching to. (SGA canon was a bit "naff" too, right?)

Well it could be worse, it could be 'Demons' instead. I never had a problem with SGA Canon, it would just never held my interest.

Those generally make for good "fun fanfic shows". See: The Sentinel, Smallville, and Stargate Atlantis.
