About Us
We are a group of One Piece fans, just like you, probably.
In February 2021 fanfiction writer ni21 read and commented a fic written by Hoshi_of_the_sea and a conversation ensued. "Wouldn't it be great to have a discord server dedicated to our ship?"Yes, yes it would be great! And thus a day or so later, ni21 took matters into her own hands and created the damn thing on February 13th.Since then the server grew steadily and we are happy to say that we have members from all across the globe united and drawn together purely by their love and passion for two fictional characters and their love and passion for each other. We share our fandom creations or simply enjoy in silence and root for each other and our ship.Our multi-lingual mod-team makes sure that everyone has a safe and lovely experience.As our head-mods multiship Zoro and Robin with anyone that make them happy respectively, it doesn't matter if you ship ZoRobin as your OTP or only in passing, you are welcome either way as long as you can respect other opinions and other ships. Ship wars have no place in our server.
Rules
The internet is not a vacuum and we're all advised to keep in mind that we are not alone. If you want to join the server you will have to agree to our rules presented there, however, even if you want to join our events without the server we do expect you to be respectful towards others.Unless you follow the following rules, derived from our server rules, for all of our events, we will not share and spread your contribution.
1. Golden Rule
Don't be a cunt.2. General Conduct
No racism, no homophobia, no transphobia, no misogyny, no misandry, actually, see point 1.
This does not mean that you can't explore those themes in your entries or independent creations. In fact, we welcome it if people deal with themes like this as they are important social issues that need to be overcome.What we do not condone is, for example, if you think it's decent behaviour to put *he under Kiku art. In such cases, we will not retweet and push your entries.
3. Your favourites
Do not slander characters or ships, yes we're a ZoRobin server and we make ZoRobin events, but we know the ship is great and we do not need to trash other ships so it looks better next to them. And we're better than to hate on a character because "they get in the way"4. Fanart
We try to make our events open for everyone. If you want to make moodboards or edits, we expect you to use your own art, official art, or ask artists for permission to use and credit them properly. If you don't get permission, you don't use it.
5. Events
For most events, you don't have to become a member of the server should you not wish to. However, we do ask you to abide to our rules when creating in association with us.
Most of our events are open to every form of creation, as long as the creation is your own. For collages or videos, please only use official art or your own.
6. AI generation
We have and always will support human creation. Typing prompts into an AI generator does not count as such in our eyes. Generally speaking, our events are always open for all types of media, so it's not like one would need to use AI to produce images or writing to participate.
Hence we do not support AI generated entries and will not support them or allow them to be shared on our server. Should participants/members purposefully go against this, we allow ourselves to exclude them from the server or future events.
Events
On this site you see an overview of all our events. It's still rather bleak around here, but there will be more to come!
ZoRobinWeek2021
In May 2021, mod ni21 thought, you know what this new server needs? An event! Other ships get ship weeks and ship months and ship days, why not us?
Well, we did. We declared June 2nd as ZoRobin day, just like Japanese fans claim birthdays for the characters, had our server's very own eury design our banners and infographics and set up a Twitter account to publishour prompts.

Schedule
Ah, yes, Valentine's Day. It is time for romance and love, butterflies and roses!
But what's better than overpriced greeting cards and flower bouquets that will die after one week in your care? Or watching happy couples being all lovey-dovey while you're sitting there lonely and alone?
Exactly arranged marriages that will last you a lifetime! Or, you know, until one of you has a very unfortunate accident!
How it works
Celebrate Valentine's Day with your fellow ZoRobin shippers. Get matched with one other creator at random and celebrate the day of love by creating together for your favourite mutual ship!This event is open to all creators!
Your match can be an artist, a writer or maybe a singer (turns out we have those in the server), regardless of what your own speciality is!Since we already shackled you to your partner against your will, we give you complete creative freedom for a treat!
Rules
You and your partner are completely free in what type of content you will create.
For example, you could both write in a roleplay like fashion, or have you ever tried a text fic? Or one writes and the other creates a playlist. If you're both artists one could do lineart and the other colours or one draws half the piece and the other finishes. It will be completely up to you and your abilities and preferences. As you can see, as in every forced marriage communication is key here!
Creative freedom also means that the content of your joined creation is up to you. As long as you abide by the server rules.
You could write about the first tentative kiss, or draw the desperation of their first fight. Create a playlist over the span of every important part of their lives together or create a comic about the soulmates finding each other. How about a classic like Hanahaki? Not feeling romantic? Top it off with a twist! It's all up to you and your partner!
Posting
To avoid a flood of content nobody can keep up with we will try to spread postings evenly over the posting week.
Please post your contributions in our ao3 collection by your personal deadlines as discussed with the moderators.
FAQ
- What if there is no even number of participants?
One of our moderators will step up and participate to fill the gap
- Where do I find the password?

How it works
Just like last year, this year's ZoRobin Week will also be a simple prompt week. We invite you to join us in creating on whichever medium you prefer. Whichever medium? Yes! We want to include everyone and not everyone is an artist or a writer.
As long as it's ZoRobin and contains the prompts you're good with whatever: Write a song, create a playlist or a moodboard, bake a cake or a five-course meal, do papercraft or inspirational cross-stitch. As long as it's your own creation we welcome it all!What is different this year is that we have a summer theme, which you will see in the prompts!
Rules
- try to use at least two of the daily prompts
- all creations have to be your own. (For collages etc. you can use official art but no third party fanart)
- NSFW is allowed, but we ask you to add trigger and content warnings on social media and tag appropriately on Ao3
- posts that go against our server rules will not get promoted
Prompts
Posting
Posting period is from June 2nd to June 8th. This year we will orient ourselves at GMT 0

FAQ
What does it mean, "summer themed"?
- Nothing in particular, we chose the prompts accordingly and we would love to see it represented in your creation, but that doesn't mean you can't take this wherever you wish.Can we collab?
- Of course!What if we can't do the whole week?
- This isn't supposed to be a chore. If you can only do one day that is already amazing!Those Prompts seem ambiguous, do you mean the noun or the verb? Some have different meanings entirely, what am I supposed to use?
- Whatever you want!Can we add other ships?"
- Yes! The main focus should be on ZoRobin, of course, but we don't mind some background ships, just add them to the tags so those, that don't enjoy the ship can steer clear!
A ZoRobin Reincarnation AU
A lone bard sits atop the cliff of Time, lute at hand, peering down at the golden book of History in their lap. The pages turn and unveil new epochs, costumes, traditions, ways of thinking and believing, but two incredibly stubborn souls weave a persistent line in the fabric of time and space: neither nature nor nurture seem able to break it and stop them from meeting the other again, again and again.In some lives they are lovers, in some lives, they are sworn enemies, in some lives, they barely cross paths before tragedy strikes – one thing is sure, if the bard was to write them a song, he’d start by singing them fated
How it works
This event is something special. Yes, we say that about all our events but this time? This time we mean it.All the participants will create one singular reincarnation AU at the same time.Our creators picked timeframes in which they want to tell stories about the ship, located sometime and somewhere throughout our history.
Rules
You need to be a member of the discord for the duration of the event.
Any creations are welcome, as long as you post them to our Ao3 collection according to the schedule
stick to the prompt and info you get from the moderators, this ensures the AU runs smoothly.
NSFW is okay, as long as you use appropriate warnings when posting
Creative freedom is allowed, but we encourage you to do some proper research

FAQ
How does reincarnation work in this AU?
- Once our protagonists die their soul is born again, though not necessarily right away.
In general they do not know much or anything of their past lives but you can incorporate some triggers if you wish using the intel we provide. Should you have specific questions, please reach out to the mods, we'll ask your predecessors for you.Can we set our scenario anywhere?
- Yes! Whether you want to take us all on a ride through your country's history or just have one tiny detail you studied you want to flex with, go ahead!What eras can we use?
- Aside from possible conflicts with other creators it's completely up to you! If you want you can introduce them as a dinosaur couple before the great extinction event or in some cyberpunk future! Go nuts!Not feeling the reincarnation thing, do I have to?
- Nope! Your work can be stand-alone. The protagonists can go without knowing they've been on this earth before. But you will have to live with our entry paragraph.Can we add other ships?"
- Yes! The main focus should be on ZoRobin, of course, but we don't mind some background ships, just add them to the tags so those, that don't enjoy the ship can steer clear!Can the ship be platonic?
- Yes.Do we need happy ends?
- Nope, you can kill them off as soon as they lay eyes upon each other if you want.If I want them to remember How will I know about their past lives?
- It's a good idea to keep memories vague as we don't want to take ideas from the original creators, but you're welcome to take a look at other creators' prompts and hint at them. Should you need more info draw a ticket and ask the mods!I have more questions not answered here!
- you're welcome to draw a ticket in the server's rules channel!
