This is an idea I’ve had for a few months now, contemplating if it is a good idea or even possible, and whatnot. But a few friends assured me that people would actually like to see this done, so might as well try, right? :)

First of all, this is something I can’t do alone. I will need help, YOUR help, if you are interested! :D

Secondly, a lot of times I had to explain what a visual novel actually is. This time I’m prepared! xD

What is a Visual Novel? >>>wikipedia

(Or in short: a kind of “choose your own story”-game)

Examples you might have heard about: Fate Stay Night, Katawa Shoujo

(Dating Sims like Dream Daddy are also a type of VN, but VN are a lot more plot based and less, well, dating/romance oriented.)

What does that mean for the Merlin-VN?

This story will be a canon!AU. It will follow Merlin and Arthur’s story, and the player will have the option to make choices for Merlin (maybe Arthur too?). There will be platonic and romantic plotlines. I plan to include seven different endings (7 is a cool number, that’s the only reason xD) and there will be happy, neutral and bad endings - although that also depends on your attitude towards each ending, whether it’s good or bad. ;)

Since the game will include a lot of reading, it’s hard to tell how long it will take to play through. I’m aiming for an average four hours, but frankly there is a lot of more planning and plot outlining to happen before this can be estimated accurately.

How/Where will this game be published?

Currently I plan to simply put a download link on this blog, once it’s done.

Will it be for free?

Of course it will be for free! It’s a fan project like any other and I don’t intend to make any profit off it. By fans for fans! <3 (besides, copyrights XD)

WHEN will it be done?

I WANT TO have it done for next year’s >>>COiNELOT - but I wont promise anything. Maybe it will take longer, maybe not. That highly depends on how many people decide to help, and how reliable those people are.

Hello! I’m lp and I’m looking for Merlin fans willing to help make Resurrection come to life!

What is Resurrection?

Resurrection is an idea to create a Fanthology book for merlins upcoming 10 year anniversary! This is the mission statement. “ Resurrection is to rekindle the Merlin fandom with a group project and to bring new and old fans together and work towards a goal of creating a book by fans for fans. Also, because it’s times like ours that we need our one and true king back.”

What is a Fanthology book?

A Fanthology book is a Fan Anthology book. It’s basically a compilation of fanworks.(Including writing and art!) All the content is under a certain theme. Our theme is “BBC Merlin”.

What do you need help with?

Currently, I need other people to help moderate and organize this book project. I’m looking for people who love Merlin and have the time to spare for this project.It’s going to be time-consuming, and a huge responsibility. I will need help formatting the book, creating buzz around the book, creating a Kickstarter, making graphics, and etc. If you're not sure you can help by being a moderator, you can definitely help in different ways!

How else can I help?

You, you lovely person you, can help by spreading the word! Reblog this post! tag your friends! Keep this project in your mind!
