Nemonymous was an experimental short fiction publication that labeled itself a "megazanthus" (a portmanteau of magazine and anthology).[1][2] It was published and edited in the United Kingdom from 2001–2010 by D.F. Lewis.[3][4][1]
This publication was distinctive in that all stories were published anonymously, with the identities of contributing authors being normally withheld until the following issue, an arrangement intended to temporarily strip the reader of any prejudices surrounding the author's name (including popularity, gender and place of origin), and thus level the playing field for the writer.[3][5] (Later issues did not follow this exact model.)
