As a DM I assume that the scribe scroll feat would apply to scrolls also written on alternate materials such as stone or wood. I was wondering if there is any official guidance on the subject. I would rule that since carving a spell on a rock talisman takes 24 hours + 8 hours per spell level/equivalent page... if you empowered it via the Scribe Scrool feat, expending the additional creation time, the stone will still hold a copy of the spell even after the expendible "scroll charge" is used. Getting a scroll stone wet could ruin the inked-on enchantment just like getting a sheepskin or parchment wet could ruin a regular scroll. Getting it wet would leave the base spell still carved, though. Epic spells can ONLY be written onto enduring and dense materials capable of holding the magic... Interesting. [oh yeah, I will be ending my campaign and playing a wizard in the next one my former player is running and I want an "official" or consensus ruling instead of my own judgment call FAVORING ME] G

But they are still scrolls and once you use it the power is gone and it is blank. Other wise your getting double mileage out of making scrolls I,E, stored magical power then a page in your spell book you can use indefinitely then sell after you used it for a scroll it tossing it away without worry of reveling your full collection of spells. That generaly is not good for game balance. Even Epic scrolls written in stone and metal Crumble when copied or used.
