The Guide
This community does what it says on the tin.
Got an lj community for Merlin (BBC, 2008)? Post a new entry, and it'll get added to the main list here so people can find it easily, since searching by interest doesn't always work. Communities will be sorted by category - discussion, fic, character, etc. We'll try and keep it up to date as possible. Remember, before joining a community, check the userinfo and scan the posts first to see if it's what you're looking for. Post a new entry if you want to advertise. Any questions, ask the mod.
