faq and rules
This week begins the 20th anniversary of the little movie that could, King Arthur (2004).
I don’t have the room or the words to say how much this film means to me or how it taught me to write and how I still have friends that I love that I met because of it.
I had life altering experiences, an amazing trip to the UK, one to New York, and two to North Carolina. I have spent the majority of the 20 years thinking or reading or writing about KA or some iteration inspired by it.
It encouraged me to create what I consider some of my best work and brought me to people I had no idea were out there, people like me and people that taught me to be a better friend and person.
Thank you to Cat, to Karen, to Kaarlo and Maria and Amera and Gissey. To Shelley and Laura and Rhonda. Thank you to the folks that still read and comment.
Thank you, Lancelot and Arthur (and my modern Arthur and Lance). I love you boys so much ❤️❤️⚔️
Happy anniversary OTP and KA!
I will be hopefully posting some “drabbles” this week in the AO3 collection here:
I will be cross posting here as well.
❤️⚔️🍷
