    Kinkalot is an annual porn fest run by and for the BBC Merlin fandom, following in the footsteps of such fabulous forebears as pornalot and the late, great Summer Pornathon. If you fancy a 5-week fest devoted to creating and celebrating Mature/Explicit-rated BBC Merlin fanworks, and you enjoy a bit of healthy competition (including both individual and team challenge formats), then this is the fest for you! We also host weekly free-for-all bonus challenges for those who prefer a more relaxed approach to their kinky creations.

    For more information, check out our Rules and FAQ.

    SIGN-UPS ARE NOW OPEN!

    PROMO: Merthur Glompfest is returning in 2021!

    Guess what, Merthur fans? It’s almost that time of year again! Merthur Glompfest will be returning in 2021 for another round of fantastic fanworks, just for you 

    What is a Glompfest, you ask?

    A Glompfest is a gifting fest designed as a way for fandom creators to give back to those fans who wouldn’t usually be eligible to take part in a typical exchange fest.

    How does it work?

    Glompees (lurkers, readers, commenters, or fandom supporters of any stripe) will be asked to provide a prompt or prompts for glomping, which will then be claimed by Glompers (fandom creators, fic writers and fanartists) and filled according to the Glompee’s request. Completed works will then be posted to our AO3 Collection and shared on Tumblr for everyone’s enjoyment!

    For more information on how the fest works (and whether you qualify as a Glomper or a Glompee), check out the FAQ on our website HERE.

    SIGN-UPS OPEN: 1 Jan 2021
    SIGN-UPS CLOSE: 15 Jan 2021

    PROMO: Merlin Hurt/Comfort Fest 2021!


    The life of a fandom favourite can be tough. When you’re not running around after the prince, you’re busy doing chores for Gaius or fulfilling your destiny. You have to fight off griffins, witches, and bandits; you get punched, poisoned, and pelted with fruit; and all the while you have to hide who you truly are because if anyone finds out Uther will have you executed…and that’s just in canon!

    Fortunately, however, there are some compensations—such as when a certain person (or persons) take it upon themselves to bathe your battered body and tenderly treat your wounds…p

    Which is why, this February, we've decided to give our favourite BBC Merlin characters a little bit of well-deserved TLC. In other words, we’re devoting an entire month to that most beloved of fandom tropes: d HURT/COMFORT! d

    REQUIREMENTS:

    All fanworks should focus on hurt/comfort of some description. Beyond that, any and all ratings, pairings, and types of fanwork are welcome! You don’t need to be a member of the Tavernfest server to join in, though you're welcome to join us on Discord(18+) if you wish.

    Cross-posting with other fandom events is welcome and encouraged, as are collabs, anon posting and multiple submissions p For more details about how it works (including minimum word counts etc.), check out our FAQ here and here.

    HOW TO PARTICIPATE:

    This is a self-posting fest, so no sign-up is required; to participate, all you need to do is:

    1. Post your fanwork/s wherever you like. We’ve set up an AO3 Collection especially for this fest, but you’re welcome to post elsewhere if you prefer.

    2. Submit a link to your work to @tavernfest (don’t forget to include the #merlinhcfest tag!).

    That’s it! We’ll then promote your work on Tumblr and in our dedicated Discord channel.

    POSTING STARTS: 1 February 2021
    POSTING ENDS: 28 February 2021

    We look forward to seeing what you come up with!

    [Podfic] Guard and Keep You
    A fluffy cat sits on the back of a couch. Next to it stands a lamp. The room is dark and only sparsely illuminated. The cat is looking at the camera.

    Pairings: Merlin/Arthur
    Tags: modern AU (non-magical), getting together, first time, storms, emotional hurt/comfort, Arthur without will
    Summary: A nasty storm rolls in and Merlin takes Arthur, his company's sweet, simple custodian, home with him. They end up finding much more than shelter.

    Podfic of youfeelallthat's story.

    Notes: Thanks to youfeelallthat for giving blanket permission to podfic.

    Finally finished for podfic_bingo and merlins-springcleaning.

    [Podfic] Privileges of Rank
    A spiral stone staircase, paint flaking off the walls.

    Rating: Explicit
    Length: 00:59:02
    Pairings: Merlin/Arthur
    Tags: canon compliant, getting together, mild dom/sub undertones

    Summary: Arthur's biggest problem to date, Merlin thinks darkly as he carries yet another load of suspiciously not-really-dirty clothing down the stairs, is an unaccountable fear of anyone, anywhere, suspecting he's capable of being other than a complete and utter prat.

    Podfic of seperis's story.

    Summary: In which Merlin and Arthur hook up, and then Arthur realises that he and Merlin have been dating. Unfortunately, Merlin doesn't agree.

    Podfic of CreamMoon's story.

    Recorded for the Bottom Arthur fest 2019.

    Pairings: Merlin/Arthur Pendragon
    Tags: PWP, dirty talk, modern AU (no magic), anonymous sex, cousin incest, top!Arthur
    Summary: The fit bloke Merlin has sex with in the back room of a club ends up being someone completely unexpected. But then Merlin isn't quite as put off as he probably should be. And apparently neither is the bloke.

    Notes: Posted for the Podfic Bingo Square "Dirty Talk". And because I had it recorded already :D

    [Mod post!] A Layout Mess
    Hi all!

    Long time no post. Like literally, I can't remember when I last posted on LJ but I do still check it every day since I mod more than one community, including this one.

    I wanted to make a quick post to let you all know since the image host TINYPIC is shutting down, the main layout for merlinxarthur is going to be messy. All the tiny images, as well as the headers and backgrounds I used for this layout, were all hosted on TinyPic. Photobucket is no longer free so while I look for an alternate website to host these images, it's going to look icky for awhile if you are looking at the main page. Also, since I really don't have the time at the moment to look for an alternate free image hosting site AND re-upload all the images on there AND find all the links in the html coding for the layout to replace them, I am not sure when I will be able to tweak it so it'll look nice again.

    I apologize in advance! But if anyone has any ideas where I can host these images for free, let me know. Hopefully I find time to fix this. Thanks!
