I would love to see more Merlin meta as well. I came across a few pieces, but this is when I first started noticing how little I would see. In my previous fandom, SPN, there were multiple meta communities focusing on different things, there was so much being written. And there were always a bunch of episode reviews every week.
Of course, I was late to Merlin fandom but even so watched the last season in time with the American fandom. I think I've posted all my episode reviews as well as meta of it to AO3. But I found very little else of it on AO3 and very rarely saw anyone post something in that vein on Tumblr.
And yes, do try it out and see if you get a response! I'm pretty sure one of the reasons we're missing all the Merlin (and many other fandoms') meta is because so many people feel the same about their writing.
TLDR Details
The March Meta Matters Challenge is focused on not just new meta, but making sure older meta gets a chance to be read and remain a part of fandom history. Join us in March to start archiving your work!
