Welcome to fanmix_monthly! In addition to the monthly prompts, you can post any fanmix, any time.

FAQ

Why fanmix_monthly?
I love fanmixes and I want to bring them back!

What's a fanmix?
From Fanlore: A fanmix is a compilation of songs inspired by a fannish source, such as a fandom, character, or ship.

What about these monthly prompts?
The monthly prompts are optional. You can post any fanmix you want, any time! As a little inspiration, I will post a prompt on the 1st of each month.

What if I want to make a mix for my original fiction project/seasonal vibes/some other non-fandom inspiration?
Great! Just use the tag fandom: original. (Read this for more information on how to tag non-fandom mixes.)

Optional, but appreciated
