I'm a one woman anglicising campaign

As there are a lot of non-Brits writing in the Merlin fandom, I thought it would be handy to write a little primer on writing British English. Not specifically Merlin era (whenever that's meant to be), so it'll apply to Torchwood (though there the Welsh needs to be taken into account) or Doctor Who or Harry Potter or any other British fandom.

thank you so much for this! god.

sorry i didn't get back to your e-mail. i've been crazy busy with exams D:

but yes. also, i would gladly britpick a story.

No worries about the email - I just thought I'd mention it in advance in case you had anything you particularly thought should be mentioned.

I was going to email you about attheroundtable, but I'll wait until your exams are over. Though if there's anything you'd like me to do in the meantime, just drop me a note - I'm on a nice shift this week, which is giving me a bit more time than usual.

awesome.

i haven't forgotten about it. i feel a bit bad because it seems like i created it and then let it go but my last exam is tomorrow morning, so i can delve back into fandom after that. well, if you want to post recs or something, feel free. at least then there's some activity going on over there. whatever you want to do :)

What with exams and being unwell, I'm not surprised you haven't managed anything more on it! I was amazed at how quickly you set it up and got it all pretty.

As for a recs post, yes, I can do that, no problem. Any preference as to whether I post a set of recs, or do a roundtable theme post (like these) for others to rec to? (If you're too busy to answer, don't worry - I'll just get an ordinary recs post up some time tomorrow).

[thisissirius]

Oh! i like the idea of the roundtable recs. that would be cool, because then everybody can start getting involved and feeling like they're active.

but an ordinary rec post would work too. whatever you feel comfortable doing :)

[oxoniensis]

I'll do a roundtable recs post then, and that I can do now! You can always get me to change things around, tagging and what have you when you've got time to think about it.

Excellent :)
