BBC Merlin Real Person Fanworks

Another song prompt!

I love this song. It makes me think about Bradley being blown away by the awesome Colin: "I spoke about wings. You just flew. I wondered, I guessed and I tried. You just knew."

(Of course, Bradley is just as awesome in his own ways. You don't need me to tell you that.)

Apologies for not posting sooner about how our community might continue on, given that the annual Prompt Fest has dwindled. (Life, you know...?)

archaeologist_d suggested (and I'm expanding on her thoughts) that we make prompting and responding more informal, e.g. a prompt in a post, with responses of comment!fic ranging from scraps of dialogue to full stories, or from doodles to full artworks, based on the creator's inspiration of the moment.

She also suggested we feel free to discuss the cast and their work, past, present and future. Which might of course feed into the above prompts-and-responses creating fictional works.

I am totally for all of this. (My only concern is where we draw the line in acknowledging that we are discussing the public personas of real people. We all draw that line in different places, but I think if we proceed with the notion of treating the cast and each other with respect, then hopefully we won't go far wrong.)

I have one other concern, and that is why this hasn't been happening already. The annual fests grew out of ongoing activity here, and weren't meant to replace it. Maybe we just needed to remember that?

In any case, I will post a couple of prompts, and welcome anyone doing the same. Let's see how we go! 

And here we go, with our first revealed work for Prompt Fest 2022! (Which is actually in response to a prompt in 2021!)

NB: I'm only aware of one other fic for the fest, which I will be posting to LJ tomorrow. If anyone else is ready to go, please either post directly to the AO3 collection, or drop me a note. Thank you! ♥

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.
