PROMPTING IS NOW CLOSED!
Thank you to everyone who submitted prompts!
THIS IS THE PROMPTING POST!
Prompting will be open until the 23rd of July.
Please read this post carefully before submitting your prompt(s).
Who can submit a prompt?
• Anyone and everyone! This is not an exchange fest which means that everyone is invited to join in with the prompting process. If you submit a prompt you don't have to write/draw for one in return (but it would obviously be wonderful if you did), so anyone who wants to leave a prompt is very welcome to do so!
How many prompts can I leave?
• As many as you like! Within reason. We've decided not to limit the amount of prompts you can submit, but please try to employ a certain amount of restraint and avoid spamming the post with ELEVEN HUNDRED AND A BILLIONTY prompts at once.
• If you have more than one prompt, please post as many in one comment as you can. We would ask that you use the prompting form for each one, and remember to leave a gap between each prompt.
What counts as a prompt?
• Pretty much anything! It can be a quote, a picture (but not an existing piece of fanart please), a word, a song, a general outline or a detailed plot. Or something else we've not thought of. It's up to you! All we ask is that you follow the prompting guidelines and use the prompting form provided for each separate prompt.
• Crossovers/fusions are allowed but the focus of the prompt/fic/art must been on the Merlin characters and universe.
• Prompts can be in any form, but each prompt should include the following information:
Prompter: your LJ name
Characters/Pairings: Het, Slash, Femslash, RPF, Threesomes/Moresomes or Gen, everything is welcome. You can include more than one pairing, but for the purposes of organising the prompts, the first pairing listed should be the "main" pairing. For RPF prompts ALL the main characters/pairings MUST have already been in at least one episode of Merlin. For example, Katie/Joe Dempsie would be fine; Colin/David Tennant would not.
Era: Canon era, Modern AU, Historical AU... It's up to you! Be as precise or as vague as you like, but if you have no preference please put "any" or "no preference" rather than leaving it blank. Also, if you would like reincarnation fic/art please specify that here.
Prompt: This is where you put the details of your prompt. If it is an image or a video, please post the direct link to it. Please DO NOT embed images/videos into your comment. If it is a song you can also include part of the lyrics in your comment, but please try to keep them to a minimum or simply leave a link to a lyric site instead. Please remember to warn for NSFW items.
Squicks: This is the place to list things you really don’t want to see in this fic/art.
Maximum Rating: G to NC-17. Self-explanatory, really. What is the MAXIMUM rating you would like the fic/art to be? NB: This does not mean any potential fic/art based on your prompt will automatically be of the maximum rating you specify; it is simply a guideline for authors/artists so they don't, for example, go and write an NC-17 PWP for someone who only likes PG fics. However, if you really want the pr0ns, feel free to specify that in the "Additional Info" section.
Additional Info: For the declaration of the pr0ns-wanting and other "extras". ;D Also, feel free to say here if you would prefer fic/art for this prompt, but please be aware that ALL prompts will be open for BOTH fic and art. Also, please say here if you would prefer your LJ name to not be attached to any potential fic/art based on this prompt.
What is NOT allowed?
• All prompts must be for original fic/art. Please do not request art for an existing Merlin fic or vice versa. (May we suggest
merlin_ficart or even
kinkme_merlin for that.) Similarly, please do not request a sequel and/or missing scene/coda to an existing fic.
• This is a kink-friendly fest, and the only thing we will ask you not to prompt/write/draw is underage non-con/dub-con, whether both characters are underage or just one of them is. For the purpose of this fest, underage will be defined as anyone under the legal age of consent in the UK, which is currently 16 years old. This rule still stands even if your prompt/fic/art is set in an era when the law was different. Other than that, all kinks are welcome here.
• For RPF prompts ALL the main characters/pairings MUST have already been in at least one episode of Merlin. For example, Katie/Joe Dempsie would be fine; Colin/David Tennant would not.
• No character/ship bashing allowed! If the mods feel your prompt may create ship wars/wank/bad feeling we may delete it and/or ask you to re-word it.
Prompting Guidelines
• Please leave your prompts in a comment to this post only.
• Anon commenting is not permitted in this comm. You must be logged in to post your prompts. All prompts will be screened and the prompter's name will be removed before it is transferred to the claiming post. The prompter's name will be added back when the fic/art is posted, unless the prompter contacts one of the mods to request otherwise.
• Please use the prompting form provided for each of your prompts. Mods will delete/ask you to re-post any prompts which do not follow this format.
• Please remember to give the relevant credit (where applicable) for quotes/pics/songs/etc and, if necessary/possible, ask permission from the person(s) they belong to before prompting. E.g.: If you want to use another LJ user's personal filming pic as a prompt.
• Also, please remember not to embed pics/vids into your comment, but to leave a direct link to them instead. And please don't forget to warn for any NSFW links.
New rule:
• Please clearly warn for any possible series 3 spoilers.
