Merlin S6

Merlin S6: a fan-based project to produce a new set of episodes following S5.

writingupsidedown: It’s with great sadness that we have to put this project to rest. It’s mainly my fault. I don’t have time or energy to continue, and for that I’m sorry. It’s something that some might have seen coming. I want to thank everyone that was willing to help us, and I still hope we can work together on other things.

eternityinalake: Thanks to everyone for the support for this project. The entirety of the first episode is posted in fic form here - the second episode is here. Apologies that the project has to be abandoned so early on.

Calling all artists with availability and interest! Merlin S6 is in need of some help to get running again – if you have any desire to join the project as an artist, please send an (non-anon) ask to arthurreturns with any details of what you’d like to help out with. With the help, this project can start posting regularly again!

Due to a lot of things going on in my life, I haven’t had the time to work on the comic as much as I want to. No need to be sad, I’m still working on it but sadly the timing for the next update is uncertain. I can’t give you a set date for the next update, but I can give you a promise that it will come as soon as things calm down. 

It’s with a heavy heart that I need to inform you about this. I was hoping for more time to work on it, to give you all a steady flow of updates. We are not giving up on this, on you all, and I hope you guys won’t give up on us!

It might not be the comic update you've been waiting for, but the next scene has been posted in fic form here - more comic to come soon!

Delay in posting the next update because of technical difficulties (new parts being ordered for a tablet) - in the meantime, check out the fic if you haven't been following along!

Quick question: how often are you going to update?

Hi! we are trying to update at least once a week. however there might be weeks where we post more than once. The reason is simply that some weeks I have more time to draw but others not as much. but hopefully into the new year we will get a smooth flow of it all :’) - writingupsidedown

A brief, but apparently necessary announcement: Thank you to everyone for all the kind support! We'd like, however, to let everyone know who views this that this project is meant as an 'AU' of sorts and we certainly don't expect or anticipate for anyone to accept this as 'canon.' The 'Merlin S6' tag is being applied purely for you, a tumblr user, to utilize for your tracking or blacklisting purposes. Thanks!

Merlin S6E01: Clas Myrddin (Part One)

Merlin waits for centuries for the return of a king he sometimes doubts ever existed at all. The time of Albion's greatest need never seems to come, regardless of the dark years he lives through and all those he must bid farewell.

However, in the shadows of the modern age, a darkness grows - one that brings about the thing he has anticipated most. Merlin returns with the first episode of S6 on December 24th.

Here are some peeks into the episode:

» It's a long wait when you're all alone.

» "You don’t need to live in the shadow of your destiny."

» It cracks when it breaks and so does something else.

» "You’re looking good for being so old, I need to be on your diet."

» Sometimes midnight swimming is the only thing you can do.

» Merlin sees a lot of the countryside.

» “Please, Arthur.”

Will there be a specific tag on every episode that I could track? My dash gets so filled up, I often miss things (and forget to go looking) so tracked tags are my savior.

The first post for every episode will be tagged 'Merlin S6' as well as 'S6E##' That second tag might be changed to include the episode title as well, so it is easier to track. Regardless, a tag page will be established once we start posting so that people can find the official tags to track! Any subsequent pages - so not to clog up the tags - will be linked within the blog ('>> next' for example).

Merlin returns with the Season 6 premiere on December 24th at arthurreturns. The teaser for E601 is upcoming in the next week!

in reply to the anon who sent an ask about Gwen today:

The canon of 513 is going to be upheld in this project. The general canon of the legends of King Arthur will be upheld in this project. Characters that appear will appear either because of their current state at the end of 513 or because of the basis in the legends for their continuing or non-continuing existence. If this has not alleviated your concerns and this is something you would like to discuss in greater detail privately off-anon, feel free to send an ask to either this blog, writingupsidedown, or eternityinalake and we can discuss this in more detail so as not to post spoilers for the plots. This ask, and any similar, will not be answered publicly, so you can feel safe sharing your url with us via the ask, so that we can answer your concerns privately.

Hi I'm excited for this! Quick question- will Morgana return also? Or is this purely Arthur and Merlin?

See this answer here for a reply to this. As stated on the ask page, these asks are spoiler-free ;)
