Feedback/ comments from voters:
"#1 = imagining them all as teenagers playing out their version of P&P is hysterically cute; I only wish it was longer!
#2 = Backstory on ANY of the characters makes me happy, but to have it link Gwen and Arthur as BABIES to adorable little kids to present canon = ::SQUEE:: :D The timeline of the future up until Uther's death is a bit confusing, but hey, wedding + BABYYYYYYY = instant win. :P
#3 = I definitely wish this one had longer vignettes, but I love the image of them lying in bed talking about their pasts as they prepare for the future.
#4 = LOL I love that line from TWN too, and all the little gossip bits are SO true to form and HILARIOUS.
#5 = LOLOL brilliant beginning with the chicken blackmail, all the way to the hot&sexy ending; I will NEVER get tired of Arthur being jealous of Merlin. :P"
"02 - Amazing. Just amazing. I liked the continual use of the blanket and the full-circle element of it.
04 - I loled at the image of Arthur doing the "Look! I can cross your apartment in 6 steps!" bit. I also liked the idea of including the media (gossip mags/photos/etc).
01 - I loved adapting Pride & Prejudice to Gwen/Arthur. Brilliant idea."
"# 2 was beautifully written. The story had a nice flow and I liked how the writer introduced Arthur and Gwen's mothers and how they had a special part in Arthur and Gwen's story. Love the whole "Pendragon blanket" thing."
"# 5 - I love reading warrior!Gwen stories and this is just one of those that makes me so happy and giddy because Arthur is the one that teaches her how to fight. It's HOTT if you ask me!"
"# 4 Fun read! I like the use of "tabloid" stuff in the story. Very creative."
"No. 4: I thought that this was really quite different in terms of style and I enjoyed it quite a lot. No. 5 was just both amusing and hot - my favourite combination."
"Voting for my favorite of the three was sooo hard. I literally anguished over this forever. All of the entries were so well done but I had to choose three; Love Like a Blanket was absolutely adorable and I loved that Gwen is the one to save Arthur while he's being bullied as a child. The Pendragon Prat was brilliant; I especially loved all of the Merlin/Gwen BFFery AND the twist with Lancelot! Training Day was just amazing. Sword wielding Gwen FTW and I loved all of the A/G banter not to mention Arthur's little bout of jealousy when he finds out she kissed Merlin. Everyone did such a lovely job!"
