Here's the prompt list for this year's advent of 2012.  As ever they're just guidelines and if you can't find something that inspires you then you can ignore it entirely. 
If you do choose a prompt for a particular day please post it on or after that date just to make tagging your wonderful work easier. Thanks, sweeties!


( Prompt List 2012Collapse )

Oh, hello there, my fellow Merlin lovers! Once again merlinadvent  is on this year, slightly belated but still up and running *g*

So here we are with our triumphant return for yet another year of Christmas festivities-
Welcome, one and all, to the Merlin Advent Calendar!

merlinadvent  is a community for fanworks based around BBC's Merlin that are posted during December on the lead up to Christmas.
(Like the chocolate advent calendars you've all had at some point. Only for Merlin :D)

There are prompts (that will be going up later today) for every day of the advent, and people can either choose to be inspired by them...or to ignore them completely and write whatever they like.
For example the prompt could be Day twelve; Sun sparkling off snow, Yule, snowflakes, 'Don't set it on fire!'  and you could use any of those prompts or you could go off and draw a picture of Morgana and Gwen choosing fashionable cloaks together. I suppose you could also use all the prompts but they can get a bit diverse sometimes...

And then you post stuff during anywhere between December 1st when posting starts and Christmas Day when it ends. Fic, art, vids, icons, whatever. You can link it to tumblr or your lj or dreamwidth, anything goes!
The whole point of the advent is so everyone has something Merlin to enjoy every day leading up to Christmas.

Kilgharrah landed gently next to the castle walls and the men untangled themselves to slide down his flank. Boots met solid ground, jolting their knees. Merlin and Arthur craned their necks to look up at Kilgharrah. Together they said, “Thank you.” He replied simply, “You are welcome.”

Arthur took his right glove off and tugged on Merlin’s left glove so he could lace their fingers together despite the cold. On their walk back to the castle Arthur was practically vibrating, he was so full of energy. Entering the warm sleeping chambers, Arthur whispered in Merlin’s ear, “All I want is...”

As the bells chimed, the voices dimmed. Arthur stood. People stopped talking and eating and looked up at their king expectantly. “Today is my first Yule as King of Camelot. At Yuletide we honor our mothers and celebrate the prosperity of the earth. My gift to you, my people, is to let you know that while I rule, all can live without fear in this land. Druids, dragons, peasants, farmers, sorcerers; all can expect to find aid in Camelot as long as they intend no harm. Now, please, eat, drink and be merry.” The bells rang merrily, melting remaining disharmonies.
