We are very excited to announce COiNELOT, a Merlin/Arthur convention to be held in October 2016 in Berlin.
We, the organising team, are: @tracionn and @momotastic27
At this point we’d also like to say THANK YOU to @brolinskeep who has created our gorgeous banner and therefore has earned the status of Honorary Team Member.
COiNELOT is a fan-run convention with the once and future one and only aim of bringing fans together to talk Merlin, and especially Merthur, to exchange opinions, to sob and giggle, to swoon, and to simply have a weekend filled with love for our beloved OTP.
There will be activities from Friday to Sunday such as panels, games and quizzes with prizes, a feast, and many chances to chat and discuss our favourite show and characters.
Hopefully there will be many, many people in cosplay (DO IT DO IT DO IT!) as there will be a contest. (Information on that will follow closer to the date.)
There will be – fingers crossed – lots of fandomy things to buy as we encourage everyone to bring their arts and crafts to sell. (You hear that, dear artists? Come and make people happy!)
COiNELOT is your opportunity to meet up with fellow shippers and people you haven’t ever met in real life but have been talking to and flailing with online for years! It’s about time, we think.
While this convention concentrates on the Merlin/Arthur relationship in all its variations, we definitely support every ship and hope for a respectful, tolerant, and open atmosphere.
The convention will be held in October 2016, and we’re sure that that gives you enough time to plan, save, sew and to get really, REALLY excited.
Booking will be open soon. You can find all important information as it becomes available on our tumblr, @coinelot, or on the convention website.
Of course we’re also more than happy to answer questions! We will publish answers on the blog in the hopes of spreading information more easily, however we will respect your wishes for a private answer. The FAQ section will expand accordingly.
More information and updates will be posted when available.
We hope to see you at COiNELOT to enjoy a super nerdy, super merthur-y weekend with us!
