My immense, heartfelt apologies to the artists over at the Zistopia web-comic (link below). I somehow found my way to your website and was absolutely enamored. So much so that I had to write my own story set in your universe. I hope you (guys?) don't mind, as I've put more work into this than I probably should have. Honestly, this is the first time that I've ever done fan-fiction, and weirdly enough it's fan-fiction of a fan-fiction. But, I just had to write it. I couldn't get this story and it's characters out of my head. Because of that, I'm not entirely sure how this story turned out, which actually makes really nervous. It could be godawful and I'd never know. I started on it last week and it's now a lot longer than I anticipated it being. If it turns out that this isn't really 'good', then I promise I'll scrap it and shelve it forever. If this seems like something you would all like to see more of, then maybe I'll upload more. If you have any thoughts, as I'm still working on a title as well as a lot of other things in this story, just send me a PM. Sound good? Thanks! But, thanks for reading anyways. I'm glad you stopped by.

Premise: The year is 197-something. Or maybe very early 198-something. It has been roughly 15 years, or maybe closer to 20, since Zootopia has ended forced desegregation. But in the wake of the fences coming down, shock collars have gone up. Predators of any age are forced to wear possibly deadly shock collars. For those like private investigator Jack Quartz, a coyote, this is just a fact of life. For beat officer Jane Brooks, a white-tailed deer, it's just another facet of her job. But when a gazelle is murdered by a predator, questions of bigotry, freedom, inter-species relationships, civil rights, and the natural order begin to arise.
