Thank you for considering ZNN as the future home of your hard work. We’re honored that you want to showcase your story with us.

Remember to submit your stories to [email protected]

If you want to maximize your chances of getting your story featured, we have some rules for you to review.

ZNN SUBMISSION RULES AND GUIDELINES

1) Try to only submit your own works, but you CAN submit others’, too.

If you want to submit a suggestion for a fanfic, that’s okay, but make it clear in your submission email that you are NOT the author, and that I should NOT reply to you with the pre-readers’ comments and critique. NOTE: if you submit a work not your own, we still reach out to the original author to get their approval before posting it on ZNN.

2) Edit your submission before sending it in.

Please do not rely on the pre-readers for editing services or in-depth feedback. As we are uncompensated volunteers, we simply do not have the time or capacity to help every author improve their work. Try The Omnibus or one of the many fanfiction editing groups on the internet.



3) Ensure your story meets our length requirements.

— Multi-parters: 3,000+ words overall at submission time.

— One-shots should be over 1,000 words, but we can make exceptions in the case of poems (such as “Together” by Cimar of Turalis WildeHopps) or very short stories.

4) We will not accept the following:

— X-rated content, including sexually transgressive or gory stories

— Incest, kidshipping beyond a schoolyard crush, and other broad cultural taboos

— Humanized stories will be taken on a case by case basis

— Copy-paste stories (e.g. The text of Harry Potter with character names swapped out)

— Stories written in a language other than English

— Drug references are not permitted, alcohol references will be taken on a case by case basis. If you want to talk about that sort of thing, make up a drug, don’t use real-world drugs.

— We do not accept stories involving real people (from the fandom or otherwise).

— Script format stories
