Potemkin Pictures' new Klingon-centric live action series, Battlecruiser Kupok,  has promted some people to ask about previous Klingon-centered fan Trek.  Here is a list of some previous Klingon-Centered ST Fan Films and Audio Dramas:
1) Star Trekz Empire http://startrekreviewed.blogspot.com/2009/06/124.html
2) The Legend of Gorath, http://www.startrek.com/watch_video/klingon-fable-the-legend-of-gorath (8:15)
3) Klingon Propaganda, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6zDg0dKygE (1:51)
4) Klingon Indoctrination, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6rzMICSYuM (0:41)
5) Star Trek Klingon Hamlet, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CiRMGYQfXrs (3:24)
6) Gates of STo'vo'kor  Audio Drama based on Star Trek Online.  Klingons.  Active Production.  53 Episodes ready for listening as of September 15, 2015.  Website here:   http://www.gatesofstovokor.com/
7) Tales of Death and Honour (audio) http://lstok-silvertongue.blogspot.com/  Producer is L'Stok, who is also a Trek Blogger out of New South Wales, Australia.  Here is the page with the audio show: http://lstok-silvertongue.blogspot.com/2008/06/first-contact.html  1 episode, completed as of July 2008.  No further additions as of  September 15, 2015.

There are many other Star Trek Fan Films and Audio shows that have major Klingon characters or in which Klingons play a major role, but these are all primarily centered on Klingons, with Federation species, if any, playing a minor role.  This website does not focus on games and game longplays, which can resemble fan films.  For an example of a Klingon-centered longplay, see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqVlSNP1jEI (1:59:22)
