I think Merlin's fandom doubled overnight when [info]astolat moved to it;

This is not true, you know. astolat's presence didn't make Idol fandom huge or any of the other small fandoms she's been in recently. Merlin fandom is slash fan fannip and I've been watching it grow on my flist for a while. Fanlore has some figures from November showing how big it was already, long before astolat - or I think seperis or rageprufrock or any of the old BNF sentinelians or smallvillians showed a public interest.

bbc_merlin's bookmarks on delicious was up to 2700 links, mostly stories and meta, by the time astolat published her yuletide Merlin story on 25 Dec. And it only started keeping links on 18 November. We haven't yet doubled that figure, two months later. But close!

Just in the interest of historical accuracy. BNF's aren't always late to the party, just sometimes. :)
