Community Spotlight:
♥ dramione_remix – Dramione Couples Remix
This is the concept of dramione_remix: for prompting, people choose a well-known couple from history, mythology, literature, folklore, legend, comics, movies, pop culture, etc. Participants then claim a prompt and "remix" that couple's story into a brand new Dramione fic or piece of art. Check out the tags for all the couples that have already been remixed. Currently, round 8 of the Dramione Couples Remix is underway; you may leave your couple prompts here.
