Chapter 1: Rules
Hi all! as stated before, this is meant to be a giant round robin for all writers. I set up this new account under the pen name balthazarblake for this endevor, the password for this account is: v3ronica.
All are welcome to add to it
A few rules
1. This series takes place between the events of 740 and the year 2000. So Balthazar's journey for the Prime Merlinian stories and or Balthazar protecting the Grimhold from Morganians and fighting evil during that specific time period only. So generaly if the story takes place between 740 and 2000 it can go here.
2. Treat this like a t.v show, once a chap is posted it's canon for this little series. You cannot disregard what another author wrote, only build on it. Which means any OC's you create are up for grabs another author can use then, or even kill them off.
3. Follow the guidelines of don't want the fic removed cause one person decided to break them.
4. No slash. I swear, anyone pairing Balthazar and Horvath will have their chap removed.
5. All in all try to keep this at a T rating max. Not saying you absolutely have to, but post a bloody warning if it goes over.
6. No Mary/Gary Sues; granted the definition of this is not well defined, generally, so I'll add a few guidelines.
- The OC can not take over the show, keep this Balthy centered.
- No ringeless sorcerers. They should not be more powerful than Merlin/ Morgana/ Prime Merlinian are.
- Balthy in the movie seemed pretty bloody focused on Veronica, so no having him fall in love with anyone. Not to say people can't fall in love with him.
- Do not have Balthazar crying to random comforting females about how he hates his life... You can have him crying, you can have females comforting him, but only if you first establish them as been good friends. Balthazar was pretty reluctant to talk to Dave about Veronica so I doubt he'd go blubbering to a female or male he barely knew.
- Your OC should not be excessively good looking.
7. Give your stories titles. The reason for this rule is mentioned further down.
8. Also no one, not even myself, is allowed to remove a chap unless it breaks the above rules.
Just a couple more things. This does not have to be in chronological order. One person can write something that takes place in the year 800 and the next chap can focus on something in the 1800s.
This is meant to be a series of oneshots but since I don't want to stifle creativity you can have multiple chapter stories.
But. Anyone can pick up your story where you left off. Also, like I said before I don't care about order. If you end a chapter in a multi chap story someone else can post their chapter about a completely different adventure. And you'll post yours whenever it's ready.
Seriously people don't wait for someone to post the next part of their story if you've got yours done.
It is because multiple part stories are a possibility that you have to title your additions to this fic. So that people can easily navigate and find the next part in the story.
The email for this account is on the profile just reveal it. it is annoying but ff(dot)net won't let me write the email here: balthazar(dot)blake777 and it's a gmail account. (I tried balthazar(dot)blake but it was already taken) it's password is v3ronica.
Have fun.
