Announcing a new reading-based challenge for the BBC Merlin fandom! No writing involved, this challenge is all about reading the wonderful fanfics written by our talented and passionate community! Starting Jan 1st!
To participate in the challenge, make a copy of THIS SPREADSHEET and save it to your own Google Drive.
Check out the Info/Rules tab, familiarize yourself with the different categories and tasks on the Reading Challenge tab, and then track the fics you're reading/have read on the Fic Tracker tab. That's it!
This challenge runs for the entirety of 2026 :)
There are multiple challenge levels, ranging from completing a single task to completing every task on the entire spreadsheet! Those who complete any challenge mode (on the honor system, no proof needed) will earn bragging rights and a cute little sticker you can post on your tumblr blog to emphasize your achievements/bragging.
