Prompt Fest 2020 | About Posting

Hurrah! Posting is scheduled to begin on 2 May. I am hoping for another couple of contributions, if all goes well - but there are a few empty days, if anyone would like to participate, whether or not you're responding to a particular prompt.


This post describes how to post your fanwork for the Prompt Fest.


The posting schedule is here if you want to check it: https://merlinrpf.livejournal.com/220137.html


You can also check in and claim a posting date here: https://merlinrpf.livejournal.com/219802.html


1. Post your fanwork online


You can post your fanwork at any time during the 24 hours of your scheduled day (based on your local time).


You can post your fanwork to this community, to your own journal, to your AO3 / tumblr / deviantart account, or to any other platform. Feel free to post wherever you'd normally post, as long as your fellow fans are able to access it.


If you post to AO3, you are more than welcome to add the fanwork to the Merlin RPF Fests collection. There is also a sub-collection which enables you to post anonymously if you wish: Merlin RPF Fests - anon entries.


2. Post a link to your fanwork to this community


You need to be a member of [livejournal.com profile] merlinrpf to have posting access.


Make sure you've posted your fanwork online, and it's fully viewable, BEFORE posting to the community.


Copy-and-paste the template provided in the box below, and complete the details. Alternatively, use your own version, as long as you're covering the significant points. Feel free to add more details, as you think relevant!


Feel free to also include a banner / art preview / thumbnail in the post, that links to the fanwork.



3. Tag your post


Tag your entry to the community with the following tags:



  • Characters: 'cast: [name]' for individual characters, if necessary.

  • Type: 'fanworks: [type]'.

  • Relationships: 'pairing: [name/name]' for the main relationship(s), as necessary.

  • Rating: select one only, from G, PG, PG-13, R, NC-17.
