Hey guys!

The original [livejournal.com profile] reel_merlin has been emptied out without notice, and the mod/admin has deleted their LJ. Since Reel is such a fun challenge, I really didn’t want to see it die, though, so I figured we’d do our own Reel this year.

Find it at [livejournal.com profile] reelbbcmerlin!

However, there’s going to be a small change: A wider variety of fanworks will be allowed for the challenge this time!

You can write, art, vid, podfic, or translate!

For more info on the Rules, check this post. Also check the FAQ for any further questions.

The schedule for the challenge is as follows:

Sign ups close: 8 Oct 2017
Writing boot camp: November
(Write every day challenge/daily optional check ins)
First check in (optional): 1 Dec 2017
Second check in (mandatory): 5 Jan 2018
Final drafts completed: 31 Jan 2018
Posting begins: 17 Feb 2018

So, if you want to create a fun Merlin AU based on a movie, be it crossover or fusion, but need a gentle kick in the behind to get going, come and check out the challenge! Posting is still four months away so even you super busy and hardworking creators who’re doing Winter Knights and/or Merlin Holidays should have time to come up with something ;)

Summary:

Following a bad break up, Arthur makes the snap decision to read law at Camelot University, Albion's most prestigious university. He soon finds out that hard work and good intentions mean nothing when everyone thinks you're riding on your daddy's coat tails. Professor Aredian's internship offers Arthur the perfect opportunity to prove once and for all that he's not his father's son, but Arthur quickly realises that there's more at stake than an innocent man's freedom.
In which Arthur is Elle Woods with less fashion merchandise and more sport, and has a half-sister who kicks his butt a lot but actually loves him dearly.

That's right. Thousands of people.

Oh, and me. :)

I hope that this will push me to write my Reel Merlin fic during the next month so I can get it done and concentrate on other things afterwards. Since I haven't started yet, this is gonna be brutal, but I really want to do it.

I'm a feminist who loves TV & enjoys movies, adores her friends, occasionally writes fanfic (and rarely finishes them), almost always reads fanfics, nerds about Harry Potter, moons over Bradley James and others (esp. when blond/e), collects picture books and colouring books (but rarely colours the latter one), procrastinates, organises fan convention(s). I'm domestic, a librarian, going on 30, and anglophile. That's all you need to know to begin with XD
