What’s the purpose of this page?Since the Merlin fandom always has so many different events, it can be difficult to keep track of all of them for things like deciding if you want to participate or just remembering certain deadlines. Especially if you’re new to creating or haven’t participated in fests before. So, this page exists to make that a little easier, with a simple, clear run-down of dates all in one place!What can I expect if I follow this blog?Just a single post at the start of every month, detailing upcoming events/deadlines. If any dates or events for the month are announced after the 1st, they will be added and/or edited into the original post. This provides a simple, easy to follow timeline when scrolling the blog.Is there any way to check the calendar for future months?Yes! There’s a continuously updated calendar for the next few months on both this blog’s desktop page, and the associated Carrd page.Which fests is this blog currently/going to be tracking?The current list of tracked events is the following:After Camlann Big Bang (ACBB)

TavernFestWho is running this blog?This blog is run by @lesbianlefay on tumblr (a.k.a lavender_spice on ao3 and discord).I’m running/know of a fest that’s not on this list. How can it be added?You can message me via a direct message or an ask, and it will be added! If you'd like to stay anonymous, you can send an anon ask to @lesbianlefay.

Is this possible?Yes! If you’re not comfortable with having your fest tracked, just let me know via a DM or ask (see previous question for details) and I will remove it.I’d like to know more about some of these fests! Where can I find out about them?There are always links provided to the sites related to the fests in the monthly tumblr posts! You can find out everything you want to know about them there!
