Greetings Zootopia fans! We’ve got a special event coming up, and Andy just couldn’t plan it himself has allowed me to organize it. I’m Dominic Faux, aka Shadow9692, and I will be reporting on this throughout the whole month of November!

Introducing ZNN’s first ever NaZoWriMo, our very own Zootopia version of NaNoWriMo!

If you haven’t heard of NaNoWrMo, it is a large event in which writers, aspiring, new, or experienced, are challenged to write a novel in the span of one month. The focus is on quality over quantity in this event. It’s meant to help writers get their ideas out, without stressing too much over the fine edits and revisions. That can always be done later.

With our event, NaZoWriMo, we plan to ask the same thing of our readers. Write a 50,000 word fanfiction during the month of November. It may seem like a lot of words, and it is, but if you’re willing to give it a shot, you might really surprise yourself! It’s about 1,667 words a day.

Every story that is written for NaZoWriMo will be featured in one mega-post in the beginning of december, regardless of quality! The goal is to write at least 50,000 words, so don’t worry too much about making grammatical mistakes.

Sign up lasts until Monday, November 7th– if you haven’t started by then, you’re putting yourself at a pretty big disadvantage. The event will run until Thursday, December 1st. Email the finished story to [email protected] with [NaZoWriMo] in the subject line, after your story’s title.

Get the rules and the sign-up link after the break! We look forward to seeing what you come up with!



In order to enter, you’ll need to provide us with the name you want to use. In addition, if you’ve got an idea already, you can give us a short little summary.

This event is still ZNN related, so there are of course basic content rules.

If you’ve read our submission page, a few of these rules will look familiar. If you haven’t, check it out, The rules I list here will be a bit more in depth over there.
