Going through the King Arthur communities, the icon one at the moment. The one thing I love about this fandom? We've got the so-called serious take on it that we're fangirling and drooling over, and dissecting historically - for those of you not on the discussion and fic ones of this, it's frightening how much historical research gets done for this period. It's like we're trying to make up for the director and screenwriter's utter *lack* of it. [:mutters: 42 years difference], and yet on the other hand? Every other cut tag on the icons journal is a line from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

I think the movie just got ingrained on us all. Everything from 'Brave Sir Robin' to 'Help, I'm being repressed!' Really, it's like trying to get through a latin / bible / Romans discussion without Life of Brian being quoted....

Argh. At this rate I'm really going to have to make an icon with 'Your grandmother is a Christmas pudding' on it.

Plus, it is a constant in fandom that certain communities that serve almost exactly the same purpose will get taken up or not. the_roundtable and meta_arthur serve exactly the same purpose, being discussion communities, yet meta_arthur is the one with regular postage. :muses: possibly because meta_arthur got pimped on knightgasm, the main fic community for the fandom.
