What is Merlin Bingo?
Merlin Bingo is a low-pressure, fun Merlin fest for writers, artists, podficers, gif-makers, craftspeople or anyone else who wants to create something for the Merlin fandom.
Sign up to get a personalised and individually-tailored bingo card of prompts. Fill one square to get a participation badge, or more to get a bingo badge or blackout badge. You can also earn bonus badges each month. Do as many or few fills as you want. Cross-posting with other fests is welcome (if the other fest allows). This round runs to 30th November 2025.
Want to know more about how it all works? Check out the FAQs.
We have a friendly discord server which you can join if you want. You'll get an invite link when you sign up.
Any questions, please ask here or email us at merlinmodsbingo at gmail dot com
Sign up here. We look forward to having you join us!
Bonus badge themes!
Now that the fabulous @kairenn-n has joined the mod team, we're going to do a bonus badge theme every month! The overview of this round's themes is here:
- February: short and simple
- March: female characters
- April: collaborative works
- May: sci-fi/fantasy
- June: pride
- July: animal companions
- August: sweet and spicy
- September: characters of colour
- October: nature
- November: rarepairs
More details about the individual themes will be shared on the first of each month!
Time to talk about the April bonus badge theme. Where does the time go, I wonder…
Collaboration and Cooperation!
That's right! This month, we're all about working together.
Maybe you want to co-write something with another participant (or non-participant, that's fine too). Maybe you and another artist want to do your own line work and then swap works for the colouring. Perhaps you could organise a round robin, or a writer-artist chain, or just work with a good friend to create a single work in whatever fashion takes your fancy!
For those of you who have no idea how to go about finding someone to team up with for this bonus badge, we have a channel designed specifically for that on our discord server!
(Yes, we have deliberately timed this theme to coincide with most of the reverse bang posting period – if you and your artist/writer/podficcer are both cool with it, you are more than welcome to use your RBB work to claim this bonus badge! If you got one of the March posting dates and still want the badge, just drop us a message and we'll update our spreadsheet accordingly)
