Updated Rules for Dramione Month

We are about a month away from the start of Dramione Month, and we’d like to be clear about some rules before getting too far into working on your creations. Three of these rules were added after the conclusion of Dramione Month last year, so we are reiterating them again here.

We do not allow the use of photos of minors in any works, as minors cannot meaningfully consent to having their pictures shared online. The mods will also not share any works that include photos of anyone who has been publicly supportive of JKR or dismissive of her transphobia. This rule extends to edits and other material associated with your Dramione Month work. (This rule includes—but is not limited to—photos of child celebrities, any images of the child cast of the upcoming HBO show, Tom Felton, etc.)

Plagiarism is the act of stealing and passing off someone else’s ideas or words as your own. This includes any use of AI in the creation of your work, whether using a chatbot like chatGPT in any capacity or utilising AI generated images to trace or reference. Plagiarism also includes the lifting of art concepts/style/composition from others’ art without credited references or permissions.

Dramione Month’s mission has always been to encourage creativity and engagement within the fandom. As a free non-commercial event, any monetised self-promotion or solicitation connected to works created for Dramione Month is not permitted. Additionally, we do not allow the sale of any works created for Dramione Month.

All works posted for Dramione Month must be new fanworks created specifically for the event. Any work that has been shared previously (whether posted independently, part of a previous Dramione Month, or part of a separate fandom event) will not be reshared to our social media platforms. Previous works will not be accepted into the AO3 Collection.

Thank you for your cooperation!
