Communities
--From

nenya_kanadka: http://b5meme.livejournal.com is live! This is the Babylon 5 (Kink) Meme a bunch of us have been tossing around
for ages. Currently being modded by telegramsam (pazithigallifreya at
Tumblr) and already has fifty comments to the first prompt post! Prompts do
not have to be smut or kink related, despite the “kink meme”
name. But anyone can leave a prompt or fill a prompt or fill their own
prompt, and can be anonymous or not. It's shaping up to be great fun.
