scrying_bowl - Profile (original) (raw)

Welcome to the scrying_bowl!

This community is focused on helping those involved in the Merlin fandom with the process of writing and posting fic. Here we encourage members to share resources, ask questions, discuss fandom mythology, debate over canon and recruit betas in a friendly and secure environment. Though the community is currently a little barren, we eventually hope to include: character profiles, episode scripts, plot outlines, setting details and timelines. However, pooling resources together can be a time-consuming task so your patience will be appreciated until these features surface.

If you are looking for/to be a beta then create a seperate post using the forms below, located under the community rules, and fill in your relevant details.

Community rules:

♦ Remember, this community is dedicated to the Merlin fandom only (unless you want an opinion on a crossover with said fandom).
♦ Spoilers and lengthy posts are to be put under an lj cut.
♦ Please do not post completed fics here; there are communities already created for that purpose.
♦ Tag your posts appropriately!
♦ No hassling betas.
♦ If linking to another's LJ then please ensure you have permission to do so.
♦ Don't reproduce copyrighted works, e.g. no scanning in whole books!
♦ Treat other members with respect. ♥
♦ No trolling, flaming, purposefully stirring up a heated discussion, fisticuffs, spitting, etc otherwise the persecutor shall be immediately banned.
