BBC Merlin Real Person Fanworks

Greetings, all!

As you may have noticed, I haven't kicked off a new fest this year. It's probably fairly clear why. Alas, participation in the fests has dwindled over recent years, and our Prompts Fest 2022 resulted in only one fic. And there is little to no activity outside the fests.

I still love our delightful Merlin cast, as I'm sure you all do, too - but maybe the creative oomph has left the community? I'd be very happy if we could continue on in some form or other, so please let me know what you think, or if you have any ideas about how we can continue to create the RPF goodness.

Trusting that 2023 will be good to you all!

love, Mrs L

Just a quick reminder, fellow Merlin RPF afficionados, that fanworks for the Prompt Fest 2022 are due by 30 April at the latest. That's four weeks left in which to create something delightful featuring our charming cast!

Please do let me know if you have any queries or concerns.

Hello at last! I'm so sorry I didn't get around to this before now. Life kind of got away from me, time has no meaning anymore; you know how it goes, alas!

We are still hoping for one or two more fanworks to be posted - but of course more Merlin RPF fanworks are always welcome, and for now it's time to formally wrap up this year's fest.

Thank you all for yet another awesome and hassle-free Prompt Fest! I really appreciate that you're still involved, and I will certainly be running it again in 2022. In the meantime, please do share any creative responses you might have to our beautiful and talented cast - and share any prompt inspirations, too!
