The ZoE is a canon-focused zine, which means that contributors will be asked to create works that fall beneath the canon umbrella (see the Zine Doc for more details). While the ninja are allowed to be background characters in any works created, they cannot be the subject matter, as this is a zine dedicated to the lesser-seen elemental masters.

Who can apply?

Anyone, regardless of age or skill, is welcome to apply for the ZoE. You must be able to use Discord to communicate, and you must be able to speak either English, Spanish, or Portuguese.

What does the schedule look like?

Applications: Nov 24, 2024 to Dec 14, 2024 Application results: by Dec 28, 2024 Creation period: Dec 28, 2024 to March 22, 2025 (12 weeks) Pitches due: Jan 11, 2025 Check in 1: Feb 1, 2025 Final dropout date: March 1, 2025 Check in 2: March 1, 2025 Due date: March 22, 2025 Zine publishing date: Mid April 2025, TBD

What if I have more questions?

If you have more questions, the Zine Doc has more detailed information on the project. Our ask box is always open, too!

I'm excited to apply! How do I do that?

In just three weeks, writer and artist applications will open via Google Form! In the meantime, though, you can be prepping your portfolios. Artists will be required to provide at least three pieces, at least one of them that must be Ninjago-focused, and writers will be required to provide three writing samples, at least one of which must be Ninjago-focused and under 2,000 words.

And that's that, everyone! Follow this blog for future updates on the project, and we'll see you Nov 24th!

I read your ninjago series x movie fic (GiGAU) and I really love it, just recently got back to ninjago and have been searching through ao3 for good fics. Your fic was really good–no–great! I like how you wrote it.

I'm also here to inform you that you've been in a hiatus for a year.

Anyways, got any good ninjago series x movie fics you can recommend? Or any great fics in particular? (Mostly the series x movie fic) I'm pretty desperate ;u;

Yeah, and it will probably be a while yet before I get back to it. I'm burned out on Ninjago right now, but I'll get back to it eventually. It helps I haven't watched a good few of the more recent seasons, so there will be new stuff for me to sink my teeth into when I get back to it.

As for fic Recommendations:

My Dad is Bad but Still Family, by KayHau. This was written by my beta reader, and was a big chunk of what inspired me to write my fics. It's more of a merging of the movie and series, but it is very good. Kay Hau also wrote a series of gift-fics for the Grass is Greener which are canon to the AU, so check her out. Basically, in a mash-up of movie and show canon, what would happen if Lloyd had been raised by his dad, only to find he had a great destiny to fulfill.

Summoning Gone Wrong, by Doctor_Who_Fan85 is a funny take on what would have happened if in season 8 of the show, Harumi summoned Movie Garmadon instead of the undead one from the show. I beta-read this one, and it was fun to do.

That's Ninja Swag (It's Nothing New) by Fabro-de-omres (Fabro). It's a reincarnation fic. A 'What if the Movie Ninja are the reincarnations of the Show Ninja in the far future and start regaining their past memories' fic. I highly recommend it for the feels.

Of course, no series-movie crossover fic is complete without Same People, But Not Really, by @KittyDemon9000. What if Kai got sent to the Movie-verse, and how long would it take him to adopt all the Movie Ninja? It's a really great one, and I can't recommend it enough.

Enter the Ninjaverse by BionicStars. I didn't finish this one, but it's about the return of the Time Twins and Lloyd chasing them across the multi-verse to stop them.

Switched! also by Doctor_Who_Fan85. Another Show Lloyd and Movie Lloyd switcharoo. Poor boys.

Tantamount by Bamboosauce. Using the Tornado of Creation to stop the Oni sends the Show Ninja rocketing into the Movie-verse. There's not much to it, but I enjoy seeing the Movie Ninja freak out about it.

It's Me (Version 2-point-0) by lloydskywalkers. Okay, all the previous ones are on AO3, but this one is on Fanfiction.Net. It is honestly one of my favorites, and what first got me thinking about crossing over the show and the movie in any meaningful way. It's a oneshot that was written before March of the Oni came out, and has the author's imagining of how the oni could be. When one of the Oni come after Show Lloyd and drag him through the multi-verse, he ends up landing on his movie counterpart, and the two work together to avoid their murderous Oni Aunt.

That's all the ones I can find in my Bookmarks list on AO3 and FF. More may have come out since I burned out on Ninjago, so keep your eyes open. I hope you enjoy my recommendations.

Odd thing to say, but Lloyd Garmadon was tired of hearing about his father’s past.

An imperfect existence AU (feat. green ninja Morro)

Ok so I know I'm supposed to be working on that movieverse au, but this plot bunny just has me in a choke hold for two days now.

Inspired by @fabro-de-omres

In a Perfect World, where Morro was the green ninja, all threats were eliminated before any tragedy. The world moved on without a thought. But this is not a perfect world.

In this imperfect existence, a boy not of 18 loses his only known family, and in rage and grief turns down a dark path. Desperate to bring his father back and burning with hatred, Lloyd becomes ruthless, filled with determination to find a way. Soon, where he would have hesitated before, Lloyd seizes power at Darkley's, imprisoning the teachers and recruiting the students. Many see this as a chance to finally become "evil", to resurrect a fearsome warlord! To help their friend Lloyd get his father back. They agree swearing alligiance.

After the final battle, Morro has achieved everything he ever wanted - a home, no longer being a burden to said home, and the lifelong dream of being the green ninja at the cost of giving up his powers, his freedom. As the green ninja, Morro has many, many responsibilities to uphold, considering the entirety of Ninjago may depend on it. But he feels restless, paranoid for the other shoe to drop, unable to let his guard down. What if Garmadon comes back? What if Wu decides he isn't worth his time any longer? Is he even the green ninja anymore? (Blinding yellow isn't exactly the same color) No matter, he has to stay useful.

Wu feels old. The passage of his long existence has made him weary, for the start of another day is just one of thousands he has lived through, with thousands more following. He longs for simpler days, where he and his brother would play together, laughing with joy. But we can't always get what we want, for sometimes there is no happy ending. He sighs, setting down his teacup. Perhaps he is getting too melancholy in his old age, and he needs to start opening up the shop...

[only-lonely-stars]

POV for orange is the new black!! Or if that’s too much, 3-sentence fic for the prompt of “you weren’t meant to see that” same universe?

(Ask game here!)

LOL you are making we WORK for this one, Fabro. I haven't been able to work on this story in quite a while, so... have something written just for you, right here and now! No beta, we die like Zane - that is, over and over again.

POV: Wu's view of his argument with Show!Cole during Chapter 3.

---

The stranger, another version of his student, stared at Wu with defiant eyes. For a moment Wu thought he might actually become angry... and he seemed a poor choice to anger, no matter the context.

Asking strange questions, making strong claims with no basis other than his own personal history. This 'Cole' was not the relaxed and calm boy Wu had taught for years now. This was a man who had seen hardship, who thought that Wu's students were old enough for the truth.

Wu set down his teacup. "You do not know what I've seen–"

"I can guess, and that's good enough. They don't know. You need to tell them."

Wu regretted every second of this argument. "It is too much for them. They deserve innocence."

"Then start small!" The stranger continued, ranting about the things his students should know, the decisions they were supposed to make. How they should not have to be "haunted by past failures."

He stood up, looking at the new Cole, hoping the younger man understood just why Wu didn't want to concede these points.

"You know too much."

'Cole' frowned. "So do you."

Wu let silence speak for him, for why he didn't want to reveal these things to children. Why he didn't want to spoil innocence which was already doomed to destruction. He had already sealed their fate; why make it worse?

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to push."

Wu shook his head, feeling so much older than he was– an impressive feat, indeed. "We leave early tomorrow."

The stranger stood and bowed stiffly, clearly upset and uncomfortable. "Sure. See you later, Master."

He left Wu to his grief, his indecision, and his tea.

The Garmadon alert went off, and Wu wondered if he would ever be able to give his students the quiet adolescence of training for wars that would never be started... only the preparation to be weapons against Lloyd's family of failures.

I am too old for this.

'Find the Word' Tag Game

I have been summoned by @galaxythedragonshifter

I have never done one of these but from what I can gather, I have to find the words "fake", "swerve", "fight", and "life" in my writing. Luckily, I found all of my words in fics I've posted so you can read those to get the context (shameless self promo lmao)

Tagging:

I'm like 70% sure I'm not mutuals with any authors so I'm just picking ones I've read from and know are on Tumblr:

@webtrinsic1122 @littlemisslol-fic @fabro-de-omres @izaswritings

Dunno how you're meant to pick words so I used a random word generator lol. Your words are: Twist, Blink, Stir, and Guide No pressure tho! Good luck!

Fake: From "and they were roommates" (Danny Phantom)

TRAITOR: BRO THAT WASN’T A SECRET

Danny: IT WASNT??????

TRAITOR: YEAH??? My dad already knows and its not like my social life can get any deader

TRAITOR 2 ELECTRIC BOOGALOO: heh 

TRAITOR 2 ELECTRIC BOOGALOO: ghost pun

Sam: Tucker I will break your pda in half

TRAITOR 2 ELECTRIC BOOGALOO: NOOOOOOOOO

TRAITOR: Also all the ghosts seem to figure it out too damn quick so keeping it quiet won’t keep them from attacking the people I care about. I’m outta reasons to not tell.

TRAITOR: But I can fake it if you want. 

TRAITOR: Oh no Wes! You have uncovered me! How will I ever cope????

Swerve: From: "Land of the Living" (Ninjago)

Morro laughed wildly. “It worked!” 

Lloyd quickly tied the wires together, ignoring the burn of his fingertips from the voltage. As he shimmied back into his seat, he said primly, “I can’t believe you doubted me.” After seeing the look on Morro’s face, he quickly put on his seatbelt. 

Morro rolled his eyes, clicked his own seatbelt on, and put the car into drive. “I didn’t doubt you, I just didn’t expect that to work.” He swerved, using the truck to punt three nindroids into the wall.

“That’s doubting me. You’re literally describing the act of doubting me.” 

“You’re being needlessly pedantic.”

“Ooh busting out the big words there.”

Fight: From "Hugo Finds Out Varian Is Scary" (Tangled: the Series + Varian and the Seven Kingdoms)

Varian swung his staff with the grace of a drunk man, but he achieved his goal of konking the bandit in front of him across the head and sending him sprawling to the ground. Hugo didn’t watch Varian chuck one of his sticky grenades at him to keep him well and truly out of the fight, though he did hear the sound of it activating behind him. Instead, he turned his attention to the two bandits in front of him - one tall one with a thick beard, and one shorter one with a gold tooth.

“C’mon now, boys, this can’t be worth the effort,” he said, grinning easily at them. 

He ducked a swipe from a sword. That answered that, he supposed.

Life: From "Shores of Restless Souls" (Ninjago)

“If you wanted me to return to a life of crime,” Morro commented idly, “you could’ve just asked.”

Jay whipped his head around, sputtering. “Wha- I- no!” he hissed.

Morro blinked, projecting an innocence Jay didn’t believe for a second. “No? I mean, what am I to think when you’ve dragged me to possibly the most crime-y place possible?” He blinked at him with wide eyes. “Are you using me to pay off a debt to the mob?” 

“No!” he almost shrieked. A few thugs glanced over at him, so he lowered his voice more when he said, “I don’t make a habit of getting into debts, and even if I did, I wouldn’t sell you!” 

Morro snorted. “Relax, Motormouth, I’m messing with you. Your face is turning three very distinct shades of red, so please take a deep breath before you pass out and I have to carry you back home.”

What's your favorite bit of worldbuilding you did this year for TiWTW?

Hi fabro you are INSANE. FOUR asks. ily!! Goddddd the downside of having not written/published MOST of the meatiest plot is that every single cool thing I could talk about is spoilers (sobbing) BUT I do have an answer ... if I stretch the meaning of the word "worldbuilding" a little bit ... and honestly who cares I doubt most people reading it will find or remember this information. Lol. so LET'S go answer under cut.

For this to make sense, there are two main players from the Serpentine War era I need to speak to here:

the Clockmaker, owner of the mansion through his wife's lineage, alluded to in Chapters 18 + 19 so far, as well as alluded to as the man in the family portrait repeatedly mentioned throughout (notably Chapters 3, 12, and 19) AND

the as-of-yet unnamed Elemental Master who the ninja learn about through their writings, as mentioned in Chapters 14, 17, 18, and 19.

Their first interactions with each other are cordial: the Clockmaker gives this EM a guest room to stay in, they help him and the rest of the Shuravansha clan build secret hideouts in their mansion to hide refugees of the war and fortify their defenses for any subsequent invasions. All well and good, nothing to write home about. And initially, that was the extent of their dynamic. They're politely distant with each other, both working to prevent the Woodlands from being attacked by Serpentine again, and then things go south for all of them when [REDACTED FOR SPOILERS].

But then. I thought about it.

The EM reveals in their diary that they've secretly brought Serpentine straight into the heart of a clan still devastated by the damage from a previous Serpentine attack. Several people, the Clockmaker included, had their loved ones injured or killed in that attack, and this person's brought more of them to their doorstep. These specific Serpentine are working as spies to end the war, of course, but ... regardless, how well does that go over if their presence is discovered?

Furthermore, there's the Clockmaker. I won't get into what he's doing, but he's getting up to some things behind closed doors that, for all his good intentions, presents a threat not just to the EM and their informants but potentially to everyone in the Woodlands, if he's not careful. This EM is willing to let sleeping beasts lie usually, but there's a little too much on the line right now to let it slide so easily.

And both of these people, for different reasons, are intelligent, guarded, stubborn and hyper-perceptive.

So of course they would learn each other's secrets. That politeness immediately morphs into an ugly tension delicately sustained by the weight of each other's secrets, a mutually assured destruction of sorts where they wait to see who's right. Until the very end, where they both meet their end with the feeling that they were both wrong.

I felt like this would be a beautiful way to flesh out their dynamic and add some meaning to their roles in how the mansion falls, and it's waaaay more fun to write. I have a whole little snippet dedicated to this and I'll probably post it to TIWTW whenever I get to revealing what the Clockmaker was up to~

Thanks for asking!

[rosiehunterwolf]

C!tommy character headcanons!

Ohohoho fabro, you are fueling my hyperfixation… I’m so glad you asked about him >:)

Realistic Headcanon: I feel like this has been hinted towards in canon (although maybe that’s just me overspeculating, who knows) but I really love the idea of the clingy duo “head and heart” dynamic, with Tubbo being the head and Tommy being the heart. Tubbo tends to think the more rationally out of the two, trying to think what is best for them (think: Dream manipulated Tubbo into exiling Tommy by making him think it was the most logical thing to keep L’Manberg safe) while Tommy is more impulsive and follows his emotions rather than actually thinking through (ex: Tommy’s most valuable possessions are the things that have lots of sentimental value to him, he has displayed multiple times that he places his self worth in his relationship with others- first Wilbur, then Tubbo) and has been shown to be extremely loyal, sometimes even to the point of death, to those he cares about (which, side note, is why i totally believe in a hogwarts au, Tommy would be a Hufflepuff rather than a gryffindor). Both have their pros and cons, but you need both in a good relationship.

Hilarious Headcanon: As much as he acts like an angry, impulsive gremlin, Tommy is absolutely ✨soft✨ when it comes to his best friends (Tubbo and Ranboo). Don’t get me wrong, he still absolutely cusses up a storm and insults them when they’re together- because come on, it’s bench trio, they’re the literal embodiment of chaos- but he is absolutely wholesome with them when he thinks no one else is paying attention. Tubbo is pretty jacked and despite being considerably shorter will sometimes just pick Tommy up with no preamble and carry him places, and Tommy just is like “okay, so this is happening.” Also we know Tommy and Tubbo are very clingy emotionally but Tommy is also like. Physically clingy. He likes to be touching Tubbo whenever possible. It’s frequent to see them walking around the SMP together just casually holding hands (completely platonically) with Tommy shooting death glares to anyone who even looks at them wrong while Tubbo is just oblivious to it all and rambling about some topic (probably bees or nukes, knowing Tubbo). As for Ranboo, Tommy will never admit it but the allium Ranboo gave him as a gift when they first met made a huge impact on him and now Tommy loves flowers and him and Ranboo will frequently give each other flowers (not to get angsty on the funny headcanons but that’s part of the reason why Ranboo absolutely covered Tommy’s house with flowers after his death)

Angsty boi Headcanon: so we all know Dream’s whole “thing” with Tommy is that he brought love and attachment to the server, and the purpose of exile was to mold Tommy into the ideal attachment. That ultimately Tommy became Dream’s one attachment. We know that went both ways, that Tommy became so attached to Dream that he didn’t know how to live without him and became blind to his abuse. But what happened after he ran away? Sure, there was still lingering effects of his Stockholm syndrome with Dream, but eventually more of him realized the bad in Dream than the good. And for the headcanon, I think, after this happened, Tommy had to turn his attachments to something else. Tommy had become so used to being completely reliant on and submissive to Dream that now that he was independent again, he didn’t know what to do with himself. Even before Dream, he was pretty reliant on Wilbur to tell him what to do. I think Tommy was starting to realize that he had never truly been independent in his life, and now, for the first time he was being given that and couldn’t handle it. He had Techno for a little while, but Techno was never really a leader for Tommy. He treated him more like an equal than Wilbur or Dream ever did, and Tommy wasn’t used to that. I think that’s why he suddenly became so obsessed over the discs, even more so than before (telling Tubbo the discs were more valuable than him- although he immediately realized the mistake in that) and even hesitating when trading the disc for Tubbo’s life in the final disc war, although mostly he develops an attachment to Tubbo. It’s not like their friendship before- although I’m not saying their relationship was bad or unhealthy, I think Tommy was more desperate to cling onto Tubbo because he felt like without something to be attached to, he was nothing. This is why he told Tubbo he thought he was nothing without him, why he was so bitter about Ranboo “replacing him” as Tubbo’s best friend despite the fact that Tommy and Ranboo had been on really good terms through most of the smp (even during exile, when clingyduo was suffering). Why limbo was the worst thing he had ever experienced, enough to scare away any suicidal tendencies, because he was all alone apart from people who made him feel unsafe and miserable (mostly Wilbur, occasionally Schlatt). Tommy had always been dependent thanks to Wilbur’s need for authority but exile made him completely unable to function on his own.

Unrealistic Headcanon: okay this isn’t really original at all but it’s one a lot of the fandom seems to accept as canon, however I’ll categorize it as unrealistic seeing as it’s literally been addressed and debunked by the creators themselves (at least, if you asked Techno- Will clearly had other thoughts-) and that is, of course, sbi being a family. This one takes a lot of tweaking of canon due to the fact that Phil and Techno’s actions became very… questionable. But i mean, the pieces for it are definitely there. Wilbur canonically considered Tommy his brother anyway, even though they weren’t related, and Phil was actually quite a good friend and fatherly towards Tommy when he wasn’t blowing up L’Manberg (and.. he was the one to decorate the L’Manhole, so I like to think that was his way of apologizing- we know he doesn’t regret what he did but maybe he regrets the way he went about it and the friends he hurt). Even Techno, the biggest stretch out of the three, actually got really close to Tommy in that period between exile and Tommy betraying (“betraying”) him, and we can even see from his will that he never really stopped thinking about Tommy, and he had become one of the few people that he really cared about in his life, despite their clashing political and moral opinions. I usually like to go with the fandom favorite headcanon that Phil and Techno got preoccupied with Techno’s voices, maybe were leaving Will and Tommy alone a lot, Will was more of a parent to Tommy than Phil ever was, then Will got into a serious falling out with Phil and Techno and took off with Tommy to eventually create L’Manberg.

Hoo boy, that was… long. Like, way longer than I meant it to be. It was supposed to be like a few sentences but I ended up writing a mini essay for each one. Tell me I needed to rant about this to someone without telling me I needed to rant about this to someone 😂

I just love Dream smp character analysis, gosh I could talk about this all day

Happy WBW! What hairstyles are popular in your world? Are these hairstyles you can do at home or ones that you'd have to pay a professional to get done?

Happy Worldbuilding Wednesday!

Ah, that's a tough question! I'll mostly be focusing on the humans for this once, since the vampires are more anachronistic and kinda just do what they want. And by humans I mean three of the kingdoms that get more focus since there are a lot.

Fabros, Renwick's kingdom of birth, is based off of Regency England (as well as New England), so there'd definitely be those hairstyles you might find there. Not the half-down ones you see in Bridgerton, though--updos are considered most proper, often hearkening back to the Vicentian Empire of antiquity. Sideburns are popular in (cis) men, so Ren purposefully oils a lock of hair on each side of his face to make it look like he's grown sideburns too, and that they're just impeccably groomed.

Cedra, where most of the monster hunters are from and where a bit of time is spent throughout the series, is similar but they're also experiencing a sort of "elfcore" phase, especially in the larger cities, where they copy elaborate Seelie (mostly autumn) Elf hairdos (often inspired by the Italian Renaissance period, but with more braids and jewels). Most of these require assistance, though with magic it's made much easier.

Shadeport/Fhelune is where Erevan is from, and despite its elven origins it's a melting pot of different cultures. Since it's the only place in the Everdark with an airship station, they get much of their inspirations from Isle Vicentia, one of the floating cities (which gets mentioned here and there), and thus have many Victorian influences. With clocks being so significant due to a lack of sun in the city, there may even be some looks that one could call steampunk wrt to accessories and such!

Vampires have a variety of hairstyles, but since most of them have no reflections, they rely on each other for help moreso than a mortal might. Many of them have very simple hairstyles for this reason, and often they end up looking uneven. But it's almost a look of its own. But while a vampire with a simple or uneven style may just enjoy the look or not care so much about appearance, a vampire with an elaborate style or even just an even cut is a surefire sign they're not alone.

Hi Fabro! 9 and 15 for the fic asks??

Hi Ren!! Let’s see here :D

9. What fic made you feel the happiest to work on?

This is SUCH A HARD QUESTION look I wrote so much crack this year 😭

It’s a toss up between Nya rips a dragon’s wings off, my magnum opus, and still hot, the fourth wild things fic :D

15. What was the hardest fic to title?

Dog goes “Woof,” Cat goes “Meow” 😭😭😭 I still am not that happy with it bc I feel like it doesn’t represent the tone of the fic perfectly but it is what it is 🥲

[lightning-chicken]

SURPRISE PTPPBT LIVEBLOG!! i wasn’t expecting this at all (in the best possible way) and i’m so excited to start breaking down all of it!

he’s very loud and he definitely knows it! but he’s working on that

declension practice… agh

ARTIST RENDITION AJDJSHS (“crushed by knowledge” <- correct in more than one way)

NYA = PURPOSE. looking at some of the later chapters and… watch out for mentions of that

akdjjssh look i had to include that joke in there somewhere

buckets of attachment issues for jay!

you’ve connected the dots… :O

FROHICKY!! you’re the first person to point that out aksjshsh congrats!!!!

… and speaking of rats! i’m now realising that i forgot to include that scene in my rat analysis so i gotta hop on that asap

dropping in references to jay’s past (and more importantly, how he feels about it) are some of my favourite bits to write - especially the nyad scene, because of how jay’s feelings on it could either be interpreted as old grief over nya but also as everyone else’s grief over jay himself

LIGHTNING POWERS!!!

hell yeah fight scenes!! get destroyed, idiot

i’m glad you liked it!!! :D i see your theories and my response is: no comment :)

Hi guys decided that i'm gonna try live-reading fic on Thursday nights to try to get me back into reading fic! tonight it's finally time to catch up on @lightning-chicken's Putting the Puzzle Pieces Back Together :D It's a DR post-merge fic that deals with Jay and the situation he finds himself in, with really cool characterization and sick elmental power exploration.

Read along with me here!

My overall tag for fic liveblogging is going to be #fabro liveblogs fic. This fic's specific tag is going to be #fabro reads ptppbt.

Let's get reading!

[starlightaxolotl]

12 19 22 sb!

Fabro you are an angel thank you <3

12. the unpopular character that you actually like and why more people should like them

I feel like a lot of people don't like Gregory (at least when the game first came out a lot of people seemed to hate him I had to curate my feed so I saw less hate) but he is literally just some kid okay I LOVE characters who are just some kid! I love those kid characters who are absolutely little menaces because oh my god they're great.

19. you're mad/ashamed/horrified you actually kind of like...

See this one's difficult because I simply don't let myself be mad/ashamed/horrified about my opinions on Security Breach. I guess my thing is I don't care that Gregory destroyed Freddy's friends. He's allowed to be destructive to save himself, I don't wanna hear anyone say he was unnecessarily cruel about it. Have you seen how kids play with Barbies? that's what he's done.

22. your favorite part of canon that everyone else ignores

no one talks about how the entrance to Vanny's little room above Fazerblast is accessible from behind the ice cream counter in Bonnie Bowl. To the right and down the stairs, behind those boxes, that's the room.
