ron_draco is a LiveJournal community for the Ron/Draco pairing.

History

The community was founded in September 2004 by roseeva (now eliminate) and initially maintained with primavera8180 (now partitioning). In early 2006, Kerryblaze took over managing the community.

In September 2006, Kerryblaze was interviewed for The Quidditch Pitch, an affiliate of the community:

Why Ron_Draco?
Though Harry/Ron is my OTP, I enjoy reading Ron/Draco and since I don't write Ron/Draco… I applied for the mod position hoping that I could run challenges to poke more people into writing or drawing the pairing. [...]

What has been the most satisfying thing you've taken away from your experience managing Ron_Draco?
I want the members to be the real "owners" of the community. So my first act as mod we to initiate a layout Art challenge and even though we only had two entries, they were both creative and lovely. The feedback that was given to the artist was tremendous and it was exactly what I was hoping for… members feeling like it is a true community.

awry became a co-mod in June 2008. In October/November 2009, hull1984 and sexyscholar were added to the moderating team.
