Before you get started on creating, letโs go over some general information (full FAQ list can be found on our Carrd website)!
What fanworks we will and wonโt accept:
We WILL NOT accept AI content in any capacity. This event is for human-made fanworks only.
We WILL NOT accept creations that contain purposefully offensive/hateful content.
We WILL accept edits, moodboards, playlists, headcanons, meta posts, ANYTHING as long as it is about Zukaang and created for Zukaang Week! You donโt have to be an artist or writer to participate!
We WILL accept fanworks that are not related to the theme/prompts, so long as those fanworks are related to Zukaang and are specifically created for Zukaang Week! The prompts are meant to promote creativity, not restrict it, so you are not limited to only posting on Free Day - feel free to create whatever you would like!
We WILL accept NSFW/Mature submissions, provided that they are tagged appropriately and both characters are clearly depicted/stated to be 18+. Please make sure to add a SFW (safe for work) preview when posting NSFW/mature content on Tumblr. For art, you may include a link to the full NSFW work on a different site (Bluesky or Twitter, for example) in the text of your preview post if you would like, as long as there is a warning that the content is for 18+ only.
What to know about posting fanworks:
The best way to ensure that we can find and reblog your fanworks are by using the tags โzukaang week 2026โ and โzukaang weekโ when posting. We also recommend tagging us in the post directly with @zukaangweek. If we for some reason miss your post, you can mention us with @zukaangweek in the comments, or send us an ask or DM containing the link to the post and we will reblog it.
Since Zukaang Week is intended to inspire the creation of new Zukaang fanworks, previously posted works not specifically created for Zukaang Week will NOT be reblogged or accepted into the AO3 Collection, even if they fit one of the prompts. However, we DO welcome submissions of ongoing fics that post a new chapter during Zukaang Week, as long as they follow the guidelines.
If you run out of time to complete a prompt, donโt panic! We will be happy to reblog any late Zukaang Week submissions ALL the way up until next yearโs Zukaang Week! Just make sure to tag your post accordingly and/or mention us with @zukaangweek.
For AO3 writers who will be participating in Zukaang Week, donโt forget to add your fic to the Zukaang Week 2026 AO3 collection - it will open up once Zukaang Week begins!
If you would like to post your Zukaang Week creations elsewhere, we are also holding Zukaang Week over on Twitter on the same dates listed above! If you want to crosspost to Twitter, just make sure to use the hashtags โzukaangweek2026โ and โzukaangweekโ and/or tag us with @/zukaang_week. Feel free to post your works to other sites as well, but just know that we wonโt be able to reblog/retweet them.
Other good stuff to know:
We have a Zukaang Discord server - feel free to check it out if you are interested in chatting about our favorite ship!
As always, feel free to send us an ask or DM if you have any questions, comments, or concerns!
We hope that youโre all as excited as we are for Zukaang Week this year! We canโt wait to see what everyone creates! ๐ฅโค๏ธ๐ช๏ธ
