OK, so given that we're now in ... holy shit, it's nearly November already ... I'm thinking of going ahead with the prompt idea but I thought it might need some forward planning, and hopefully some input from other members.
SO, my current plan is to put together 12 prompts - one for each month of the year 2018 - as a kind of challenge, that people can submit fanwork for. The fill can be anything - drawing, photo manip, fanvid, drabble, multi chapter fic, anything that strikes your inspiration. There's going to be no pressure to fulfill all of the prompts - if people only have the inspiration/time for one or two, that's no problem. If people want to submit works early or late for the challenge, that's fine too. Hopefully this will prompt some more Merlin fanwork for the 20th anniversary and maybe get a bit more activity going around the boards again.
Regarding the prompts, if anyone has any they'd like included, or think could be interesting, let me know and I'll stick them on the list. My current plan is to keep them vague, so people can adapt the prompts to the characters/pairings/ratings of their preferences, and run with their ideas, rather than be too descriptive and limit the potential fills for the prompt. Potential prompts could be in any of the following formats:
- Words or phrases e.g. Family, War, Religion, Quest
- Song titles/ lyrics
- Pictures
If people would prefer to do it differently, and have e.g. a prompt for each major character, or prompts for various pairings, I'm happy to change to that format, too, I'm basically just bouncing ideas around at this point.
