Random zadr story: Online crushes friends; part 1 (featuring oblivious idiots)
(WARNING: MY WRITING SUCKS AND I MIGHT WRITE THEM OOC)
The digital world. Zim could care less about making friends using inferior human technology. An invader needed no one, after all!
…Or so he thought. One day, the Irken decided to try out a social media platform. (The platform is up to u lol, I’m so uncreative) Not because he was lonely or anything-! It was to blend in with the other urth kids and do research on those barely sentient sack of meats. Almost every kid on that technology loving planet had an account—maybe even Dib, Zim’s big headed nemesis, had one too!
Zim decided to make his account anonymous since everyone else did. He didn’t want his nemesis to find out about his account to hack or do anything to it, after all.
A few days after making the account, Zim didn’t want to admit it, but… chatting with those humans online had been…fun?
To be more specific, chatting with this one particularly decent human wasn’t a terrible experience. Maybe that human was slightly…endearing to Zim. Maybe he was Zim’s first friend or-
“ZIM!!” a voice boomed after the door violently got kicked open, “I don’t know what your evil plan is, but I’m gonna stop you!” shouted a bespectacled boy with ashes on his iconic coat from the laser shooting gnomes.
The alien (z)immediately hid away his phone in his PAK and jumped off the couch to face Dib. “Well, well, well! If it isn’t the Dib-thing! You’ll NEVER know my evil plan, NEEEEVER!” Zim yelled at the top of his lungs. Dib rolled his eyes.
“Wait…you don’t have a plan, do you?” Dib asked. Zim has been on the planet for two years, and of course, his plans started to get less evil and harmful. On most days, the alien just annoyed Dib. However, Dib still chose to remain wary as something as big as the Florpus incident could happen again if he lets his guard down…
Taken aback, Zim retorted, “Of COURSE I have a plan, you stupid smelly! It’s uhhmmm…” Dib raised an eyebrow. Not knowing how to defend himself, Zim got out his PAK legs and demanded that Dib should leave. Shrugging, the big headed boy inched his way out of the door, muttering about how he got shot by the lasers for nothing.
Heaving a sigh of relief, the Irken went back on his phone and decided to text his…special friend again.
(Aaaand that’s the end of the prologue!! Anyway, again, my writing is terrible and this is just a random idea in my brain lolll-
I dunno if this thing will become a series, but maaaaybe it willl- we’ll see :3)
OKAY EDIT: PART 2 IS OUTTTT-
PART 2

hey guys i hear a lot of the iz discords arent really open to marginalized or disabled people and tend to allow gross ship stuff so i made an alternative!
https://discord.gg/4GznZSM
here are the rules
•no zadr or other similar ships, no incest ships, nothing nasty
•if anyone wants to post adult content i will make a locked 18+ channel for it, so as to leave the rest of the server safe for minors
•no terfs no transmeds no aphobes if you’re trying to keep anyone out of the lgbt community who aren’t like, pedophiles you aren’t welcome
•if you use a slur you can’t reclaim you will be kicked immediately. anything bigoted in general? kicked immediately. no strikes no warnings no exceptions.
•there will be a suggestion channel if you feel like you need anything you aren’t getting and i’ll usually be on to address it
•if you need a trigger warning for something or someone says something that upsets you or you get in a fight come straight to me and we’ll talk it out and i’ll make sure it’s taken care of
•there will be a request channel for any channels or rule changes and i’ll read every one and address it as long as i’m able
•i’d appreciate if people would include audio descriptions of pictures they post to keep the server accessible! if you have any other accessibility needs you can message me directly or go into the request channel
•obviously ocs and self shipping and irkensonas /irken ocs are more than welcome!
tl/dr this server will be free of gross ship stuff, safe for minors, poc, disables people, queer people who don’t gatekeep etc
edit: if y’all could reblog this that’d be cool bc i only have 4 followers lol

1, 2, 3, 7, 9, 13, 17, 23 (some of these are random and some aren't)
Thanks for the many questions, Socks! Sorry I didn’t answer them earlier; I decided answering asks on mobile sucks.  ALSO, this is going to be super long haha sorry.  1.  Tell us about your current project(s)  – what’s it about, how’s progress, what do you love most about it?       Well, my most current project is one I just started brainstorming. It’s (hopefully gonna be) a Fallout 3 series, with my latest fic being the starting point. LW/Fawkes is a ship I liked immediately when I played the series some years ago, but I never got around to writing for it, probably in part because there’s already a super good longfic about them, and I just didn’t think there was much else I could say. But my LW is different from Choco’s LW, and lately I wanted to start something self-indulgent. Although I have enough ideas for this to maybe be a single 30k fic, I’m choosing to do a series of shortfics instead, so that I’m not burdening myself with another long project. Fic series are great in that way, because it’s basically complete with every new fic.       On top of that, I have... probably 3 other things I want to make significant progress on this year. First is another Fallout fic: Same Heart. I’ve posted 8 chapters already and have almost 2 more done, but due to the slow-build nature of it (and my tagging) I don’t expect to have almost any readers until at least chapter 10 (when the ship characters finally meet). I’d like to at least get that far this year.       A project I’d love to finish by fall is the unreleased “The Wilderness”, a Venom zombie AU that I started for NaNoWriMo 2 years ago. It’s about 55% written, and my goal is to have as much of it done as possible before the sequel movie comes out. If it’s not done by then, I still plan to post whatever I have.       And lastly-ish, my novel... thing. Rogue. I’m in the process of editing it, although I’ve taken kind of a break lately. And as soon as I’m done with the edits and can get a couple of people to read it (just so they can tell me if certain parts are stupid and need changed) I plan to start the next book in the series... which will probably end up being book #1, actually, if I do them modern-era chronologically. It’s... gonna be a process. ^^;  2.  Tell us about what you’re most looking forward to writing – in your current project, or a future project.       In my upcoming FO3 fic series, I’m honestly just kind of weirdly looking forward to... how do I put this? Exploring my own vaguely-traumatic experiences through fic. I’ll always do a happy ending, if possible, but before we get there I really want to run these two through the ringer of... being given something they were led to believe was impossible, being judged for it, having it taken away, and then being told “well maybe it’s for the best”.       When it comes to future projects, I guess I’m really excited about writing the new Rogue book. “Reaper”, I guess, is its unimaginative working title. I’m anxious about it, because I thought Rogue had some really deeply emotional scenes, and I’m not sure if I’m going to be able to accomplish that as well with this new one, simply because the characters don’t have the same level of desperation about each other. I need to figure out what’s unique about their dynamic and push that. I guess I’m looking forward to the challenge.  3.  What is that one scene that you’ve always wanted to write but can’t be arsed to write all of the set-up and context it would need? (consider this permission to write it and/or share it anyway)       Hmm gosh. Technically there’s a scene in the later chapters of Mobius that I already wrote, but it wouldn’t take place until probably chapter 3 or later, and I just lost all steam on that fic, sadly. But every time I poke through my notes I make myself cry reading it. It’s a scene where one character knows it’s going to be the last time he sees the person he loves most, and he can’t explain his pain to anyone. I really just want to get there so I can see if it makes other people cry like babies haha.       But on a completely unrelated note, there’s also this ZADR fic I started writing in like 2009, and I absolutely didn’t want to do the work to get to the fun middle scenes, but basically it was an AU where young adult Dib went to live/work in the thriving multi-species space community, where he’s... I dunno, studying alien biology I think?, and he ends up with Zim as a roommate. The scenes I really wanted to write were about the two of them getting into like a bar fight with some tough types, and Zim gets his pak ripped off/damaged in the process, and Dib has to sort of take care of him through a horrible fever. But then it turns out that the pak was not a life-support system like they thought, but actually a growth inhibitor so they (the people in charge of the Irkens) could choose who became the Tallest (the leaders). (And also it hindered reproduction, etc.) So basically the two of them accidentally start to unravel a galactic conspiracy which also involves corruption in the Earth government, etc, and Zim gets taller but spoiler alert, he still doesn’t get tall enough to challenge the Tallest lol. Sadly, I doubt I’ll ever actually write that fic. Sounds like too much effort lol.  7.  What do you think are the characteristics of your personal writing style? Would others agree?       That’s such a hard question. Ummm. How do I put any of that into words? ...I think one of the things about my writing is that a lot of the time nothing really happens in a scene, and the story mostly focuses on a character thinking. Like, enough happens so there’s something for them to think about, but I think I tend to put a lot of emphasis on POV character’s thoughts, to the point of sometimes seeming stream-of-consciousness. I’ve been told that this makes my stories feel alive though? So I think it appeals to some people, though I’m sure others would find such stories boring.       Oh also, somewhat along these lines, I like to add commentary that is only somewhat relevant, usually in parenthesis at the end of a sentence or paragraph. (Honestly, it’s not unusual to see one in every paragraph if I’m writing something slightly humorous.)  9.  Are you more of a drabble or a longfic kind of writer? Pantser or plotter? Do you wish you were the other?      I would LOVE to write primarily longfics! However, I just don’t have the time or energy for it, and I don’t write fast enough. So I end up with a lot of oneshots under 10k. I had to challenge myself to learn to write short things though, and then it’s really about writing something short, not about writing a specific story.       Generally, I’m both pantster and plotter. I tend to write the first chapter/few scenes/maybe as much as 10k, just by the seat of my pants. After that, I look at what I’ve got and write out a plot to continue from there. Plotting everything out before I start just doesn’t work for me, but if I try “pantsing” anything longer than 15k I know I’m gonna have an absolute torturous hell of a time.  13.  Do you share your writing online? (Drop a link!) Do you have projects you’ve kept just for yourself?      Lol I think anyone who’s reading this knows I share my stuff online. Primarily on my AO3, though there’s some other stuff floating around here on tumblr too.  Most of the time if I keep something to myself it’s only because it’s not finish enough to share. So, sure, there’s plenty of that, but the goal is always to share it eventually. If I ever get around to finishing a novel, those will probably be the only things I don’t just post online. (Though I do post most of my OC stuff currently.)  17.  Do you think readers perceive your work - or you - differently to you? What do you think would surprise your readers about your writing or your motivations?       I think that inevitably my readers will always perceive me and my writing a bit differently than I do. That’s just... interacting with people. Nobody knows you entirely. However, I am as open and honest in my writing as possible, and I actually think that reading my fic is the best way to get to know me. I like to hope that I am an open book to anyone who has read many of my words. =] While you may not know the details of my life, I think you would have a good insight into my personality.    23.  What’s the story idea you’ve had in your head for the longest?       Like... my oldest fic/story that I’ve never written or posted? Not counting stuff I’ve consciously abandoned (things from middle school, mostly), my original fic series, “Damsel and Company in Distress” aka DamselCo. is definitely my oldest story. I think I started fiddling with it in 2006-- which makes it pretty disappointing that it’s gotten next to nowhere. XD; But the story is my baby, and it’s been my baby for so long that anyone who’s followed me ever is probably at least vaguely familiar with a few of the characters.  Now maybe one day I’ll actually give it the attention it deserves, though I’m sure it’ll need significant revamping. After all, a lot has changed in 14+ years. Ideas that were new and subversive then are probably already stale.
