I'm so late for this, but it took me too much time to write it!
First of all, these 2 days have been awesome! I wish I could have stayed all day on Sunday but I had to leave to get my train, because Steven Moffat was brilliant as well as the Merlin cast, these guys are amazing and so much fun!

If you want to use the pics or vids, please ask me first! Thank you!



So, FIRST DAY!
   
I woke up early to catch my train to Paris around 8:30 AM, then 3h30/4 hours later I finally arrived at the Comic Con! Time to admire the long long queue for those without tickets and happily go the faster one. Inside, it took time to understand the map of the Con and all, it was time to head up to the screening of the first 2 ep of Merlin season 3 because I knew the cast would be presenting the episodes.

> 13:00 SCREENING
 
 
When they announced their names one by one, I was exctatic, I couldn't believe I was really in front of them for real. So Julian Jones, Katie McGrath, Bradley James and Colin Morgan were gorgeous and totally awesome! They were so natural, so simple and so nice!

> 13:30 AUTOGRAPH QUEUE
 
I didn't stay for the episodes because I had to leave to queue for the autograph lotery! What I didn't know was that we had to choose one of the 3 actors, but yeah, not much hesitation for me, it was Colin, this guy is fantastic! My little brother won 1 ticket and my father too, so he gave it to me, and we were able to go later together! So excited!!! :)


> 16:30 MERLIN PANEL
I went around the Con then, trying to find ScifiCollector's stand to buy some Doctor Who and Merlin goodies. I spent way too much money there and the man from that shop was so lovely, really nice Englishman.
Then it was time to head up to the conference room to be sure to have a seat, so I heard the end of the previous conference about 'Les Invincibles', a French series. Next to the conference room was the 1st signing session of the Merlin cast, so I went to watch them a bit around 15:45!

Then it was time for the conference! So excited! It was pretty interesting and the cast made it funny, playing with the audience! They are all really cool! <3
Katie was really generous and energetic and Bradley and Colin are really nice, even if they looked a bit tired! Poor babes!



Vid: Bradley playing with the audience.


They showed a trailer for season 3 and I loved how the crowd cheered when Evil!Morgana or Gwaine appeared! lol And Katie playing with it turning towards us when a Queen!Morgana showed up on screen! :)
Then there was a Q/A and the 1st girl who asked a question won the script of the pilot episode signed by everyone! So lucky!


Vid: Katie talking about Morgana and Bradley & Colin joking together leaving her out of it!



> 17:30 SIGNING SESSION
Then, the signing session! At the end of the panel everyone rushed to the signing room to get to the queue. I was so stressed and excited and we were so close to them!


When it was my turn, I was so stressed, I wanted to say some stuff to Colin but once he looked at me with his gorgeous blue eyes and dimples, I couldn't speak, my mind was blank, I could barely say a shy 'thank you'! But wow, totally charmed! He is even more pretty in reality! <3 <3
The magic moment was over and we were heading to the end of this awesome day with the Merlin cast!

Here is my signed poster and the little Merlin figurine I bought! :)
The poster says 'Julie, All the best!' and now each time I look at it, I remember this amazing day and this encounter with Colin Morgan! <3
(it's also signed by everybody else but not personalised)
