This was my attempt at a Period version of ‘Truth or Dare’. Here’s where I got the idea from. There is also a partner fic which is linked to at the end.

So, the second season of Merlin is coming up soon, and while most of us will need to wait a little to actually see the episodes, kabal42 and I were thinking perhaps it would be a nice time to celebrate Merlin.

So our questions are:
1) Is there any interest in this?
2) If so, what would you like to see in a fest?
* Prompts?
* Themed ideas?
* An exchange?
* Anonymous or not?
* When would be good timing for folks?

Any and all suggestions are welcome. The more suggestions and interest we get, the better.

Title: The Knight and The Maiden
Authors: oconel and nefernat
Rating: R
Challenge: 33. Fairytale AU. Fairytale mashup ala Shrek with Arthur as Knight in shining armour set out to rescue the fair maiden (Merlin). Extra points for a stray sunbeam following Arthur throughout. Crack welcome!
Word count: 10,986 words
Summary: Once upon a time there was a man, a manly man named Arthur, with golden hair and deep blue eyes; brave and handsome as any other manly man.
Warnings (if applicable): Crack, a donkey in a crisis, a random sunbeam, a lurking fairy and talking inanimate objects. You know, harmless warnings...
Notes: First, we apologise to whoever it is that owns Shrek and Merlin, although we insist that no donkeys, sunbeams and crystal balls were harmed during the writing of this fic. Secondly, a BIG thank you to kabal42 for the wonderful beta job!!!

Title: Boys' Night Out
Rating: PG-13
Ship: Arthur/Merlin
Post type: Flashfic
Summary: In which Arthur stole Merlin's food, watched his DVD, took him out to a boring party and manoeuvred him to bed (to sleep).

A/N: The first version won third place at armer_gayms' Bro Code challenge.
Borrowed the varying flashfic length from b_hallward's Increments (Merlin/Arthur)--am not the genius that came up with it. The 5, 10, 20, ..., 100 words structure fits what I have in mind, didn't mean to steal ^^;;

(Read it @ LJ | DW )

Since there was some positive response to my question about an icontest, I went ahead and made one. Therefore I proudly present: merlin_icontest

Challenges will be bi-weekly and there are currently two running. A Banner Challenge and the first regular challenge featuring the episode The Dragon's Call.

Rules and a time line can be found on the user info.

I hope to see you there :)

(Didn't see anything about this on the user info, so I hope it's OK)

Anyway, now that I'm running my first icontest in a timely fashion again I'm itching to start another one and wondered if anybody would be interested in participating in a Merlin icontest here on IJ.

Should I bother starting one?

(BTW - How should I tag this post?)

One canon:

Title: The Gift
Author: lilithilien
Rating: G
Ship: Merlin/Arthur (pre-slash)
Post type: Fic
Summary: After his coronation, Arthur realises what he's been given.
Warnings: None.
A/N: A short ficlet written for kabal42's birthday, and set a few days after "Excalibur" (just long enough for Merlin to get Arthur's robes cleaned!).

And one RPS:

Title: Accidents Will Happen
Author: lilithilien
Rating: 3000 words of NC-17 porn
Ship: Bradley/Colin
Post type: Fic
Summary: It isn't like Bradley hasn't thought about it. A lot. It's more that the timing's never right, that at first he's still reeling from a nasty split with Michelle, that he isn't even sure he's that into guys. Besides, he has no clue which side Colin comes down on, and he really doesn't want things to get weird between them... Valid excuses, all. In the end, not one of them matters.
Warnings: RPS and therefore utter fabrication and gross lies.
A/N: When plotty Big Bang plot gets too plotty, fluff comes out. Or as fluffy as I ever get anyway. What can I say—uncommunicative boys are my weakness! Extra helpings of fries and baklava to my lovely porn aficionados betas shellydkitty and aldiara.

Title: Seven Deadly Sins drabble set
Rating: various, G to PG-13
