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) and filled according to the Glompee’s request. Completed works will then be posted to our AO3 Collection and shared here 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: merthurglompfest.carrd.co/

SIGN-UPS OPEN: 1 Jan 2021

SIGN-UPS CLOSE: 15 Jan 2021

Hello Glompees and Glompers!

Amnesty Week is now officially over, and we’d like to say a big thank you to all the Glompers who have submitted their fics!

We’ve had 33 prompts filled in total, so for all of you lucky Glompees out there, don’t forget to check out your gift and leave a comment/kudos – we’re sure your Glomper would love to hear from you!

We will be posting a masterlist of all the entries that were submitted soon. But in the meantime, you can find all of the Merthur Glompfest 2020 fills HERE.

Hello Merthur fans!

We are now at the end of our scheduled fanwork gifts for Merthur Glompfest 2020.

Thank you to all the Glomper’s who have submitted fanworks for our fantastic Glompee’s.

Did you claim a prompt intending to submit a fanwork, but were unable to complete it in time or submit it for any reason? Well then, good news! We are now welcoming such Glompers to submit their entries during our amnesty period.

Our amnesty period will run from from today (Monday May 4) through to Sunday May 10. Any entries submitted during this period will be included in the masterlist at the end of the fest.

During this time, we would like to invite you to check out the existing 26 entries already submitted to the fest which can be found HERE in our Merthur Glompfest collection on AO3.

If you didn’t originally claim a prompt for the fest, but would like to do so to make a short fill before the end of amnesty, please do get in touch with us at: merthurglompfest@gmail.com.

Thank you and we hope to bring you more Merthur goodness soon! ♥

* A special thank you to @eisbaerfusselart for the beautiful banner for our fest!

Hello Glompers!

Firstly, we hope that you and your loved ones are all keeping safe.

Secondly, you should have heard from us via email by now, if you haven’t, it’s because we don’t have your email address and we kindly ask that you contact us on merthurglompfest@gmail.com so that we can check in with you as soon as possible!

Thirdly, if you HAVE had an email from us and haven’t responded to our Google Form yet, please could you kindly do so this weekend, so that we know where you are at with your Glompfest entry.

We will post soon regarding a schedule and confirm when the fest will start.

Thank you Merthur fans! ♥

Hello Glompers!

A lot of you have been asking about timings for claiming. We are making a post of advanced notice that we will be opening claiming on Sunday 19th January at 12am GMT. To find out what time that is where you are, click here

In order to claim a prompt, you will need to log into AO3 with your AO3 account, go to our Merthur Glompfest Collection and then click on Prompts on the sidebar on the left.

Carefully read through the prompts from the Glompee's (you can do that now, but please DO NOT CLAIM A PROMPT, anyone who does so before claiming open will have that claim deleted and you will have to make another claim) and pick a claim that you think you can best fill for our Glompee's. Remember: This is a GIFT for them to say thank you. Glompers are allowed to claim ONE prompt to fill. Please do not pick a claim you can't fill (i.e., the glompee has asked for smut/explicit fic/art, but you don't write explicit fics or make explicit art).

Claims will be made on a first come, first served basis, so if your first choice has already been claimed, you will need to choose another. Claims will show up as a little box below the prompt, like so, which means you'll need to double-check carefully before claiming. After all, we would like all Glompee’s to get a gift if possible.

In the event that a prompt is mistakenly claimed more than once, the first logged claimant will be given priority.

TL:DR version:
- Claiming will open Sunday 19th January at 12am GMT.
- Don’t claim a prompt you can’t fill
- One claim per Glomper
- Check that your prompt of choice hasn’t already been claimed, if it has, please pick another

Thank you for your attention and happy claiming on Sunday 19th!

Hello Glompers!

We understand that you are all eager to look at and grab a prompt that you feel suits you, but this just a friendly reminder that claiming of the prompts does not start until 19th January. We will put up a notice on Tumblr/LJ/DW/Pillowfort when claiming is open.

Anyone who claims a prompt before this time will have their claim deleted and you will need to claim again once claiming opens.

Thank you for your attention!

ATTENTION GLOMPEE'S!

Merthur Glompfest is now open for your prompts!

Please proceed at a leisurely pace to our AO3 Collection: https://archiveofourown.org/collections/Merthur_Glompfest

Once logged into AO3, you can make submit your prompts by clicking on the Sign Ups (along the top in the right-hand corner under the banner) or Prompt Form links (in the left-hand sidebar).

The FAQs and some guidance on how to complete your claim are within the form.

Using the Prompt Form on AO3, you will be able to make up to three prompts you would like to get filled (though you are not obliged to use all three prompts).

Please do include as many details as you can, in order to give your Glomper as much to work with as possible so that they can tailor their gift to you! And don't forget to include things that you Do Not Want in your gift (infidelity, abuse, characters being mean to each other, etc), so that your Glomper can be sure to avoid those, too.

In addition to describing your prompt ideas, you can tag for:

- up to 10 Merlin characters

- up to five relationships (however remember the main focus of your prompt should be Merthur, as this IS a Merthur fest after all)

- your rating preference(s)

- up to 20 tags for your prompts

You have until Saturday 18th January to make your prompts!

HAPPY PROMPTING!

Like a phoenix from a flame—or in this case, an Arthur from a lake—Merthur Glompfest returns!

What is a glompfest, you ask?

A glomp-fest is a fandom gifting fest designed with one thing in mind: giving back to all those who wouldn’t usually get gift fics or art in a traditional exchange fest.

How will it work?

If you’re a lurker, reader, commenter, or supporter of any kind, you get to submit a prompt (or multiple prompts) for you to be glomped on! If you create fanworks, then you get to choose a prompt, create a gift inspired by that prompt, and gift it to your glompee as a way to give back to the fandom community.

Sounds good! I’m in. What happens next?

Head on over to our FAQ page, have a read through and then prepare to be glomped, or to do some glomping! Prompting opens 10th January!

Welcome to the new, reincarnated Merthur Glompfest 2020!

Are you a lurker, a reader, a commenter, a supporter of fanworks, or a hoster of fests? If so, prepare to be glomped!

This year, we’re bringing back glompfest to the Merlin fandom in the form of Merthur Glompfest! Your hosts are schweet_heart and ext_4137531 and we, along with the rest of the Merthur fandom, want to give back and show our appreciation to all you wonderful people who make posting our creations so rewarding. After all, without you guys, we would have no one to create for!

We would love for you to get involved, so get your thinking caps on! Is there a Merthur idea that you’ve never seen done before, but would love to see written? Is there a trope that you just can’t get enough of (THERE WAS ONLY ONE BED!)? Or an image in your head that you’d love to see on paper (or digital canvas)?

If so, check out our FAQs, help us to promote the fest, and we hope to receive your prompts shortly!

Thank you, Merthur fandom! ♥
