Besides, I don't think the secret poster cares about progression. They only care about their slash fantasy, which like many slashers, they convinced themselves was real. You want to really be progressive with this story? Make Guinevere a warrior queen.

I can think of several books that have done just that. (And it's the show actually pretty good about showing that the girls can hold their own with swords? I see to recall a couple clips of them fighting.)

All issues of progression aside, you CANNOT alter the Arthur/Guinevere/Lancelot/Morgana love entanglement without completely deconstructing the foundation of the entire storyline. Those relationships drive the outcome. Take them away and it's no longer the Arthurian Legend.

Yep, exactly.
