Description Old, maybe 2005 or 2006 - pencil, ink, Photoshop for colour
Invader Zim belongs to Jhonen Vasquez and Nickelodeon

I had an Invader Zim fanfic on fanfiction.net back in 2003 called 'Monsters Within' which I had so much fun with. It was online for a year without incident, and from the reviews, I gathered people had enjoyed it. Then one day, the admins over there deleted it without warning, and gave me a temporary suspension, because I had broken their new rule: a story cannot be in script format.

I was upset to see the story go, and irritated that only prose is accepted as a legitimate story. We should have more creative freedom than that.

Years later, I toyed with the idea of making a comic version of the same story. A mate of mine said I'd never do it. Therefore, I have done it. Or started to, at least.

Here's page 1. I'll put up the other pages too. Don't expect much from this, I work on it pretty rarely, in fact in 2009 I only made 2 pages. I think at some stage though I'd like to put the original fic back online. It's old now but I still like it.

With great effort - plus he's a cartoon character so that helps.

Oh. My. God. I read this story back in '03, in... oh my god, it must have like 6th or 7th grade. I LOVED this story! I even printed it out (yes, the whole thing... in purple ink) for a friend to read, because her family didn't have a computer. We would read it during lunch! Haha, it's crazy awesome that I randomly stumbled back on it so many years later.

Awww that is such a nice comment, thank you for that!
I'm glad you stumbled back onto it. Makes me realise how OLD this story is, though! 8 years! But hopefully it's no worse off for its age. I still wuv it. It's really nice to think that there were people out there back in the far-off misty days of 2003, reading this silly story and enjoying it, so thanks for taking the time to say so!

you know that's jinx... them taking you off for writing in script.... i'm on that site a lot as spookyadvicegiver (though i'm not worth looking up... i have no stories and no interest in posting my crazy fics...) i see a lot of the IZ fan fics in script form.... granted most of the stories are in prose but enough of them are in script....... (in my opinion, writing a good script is harder then writing in prose anyways....)

love the comic.... every one's in char so far... you don't see that often...

SilentKnight4 In reply to SPOOKnVEN [2010-04-18 05:07:41 +0000 UTC]

Thanks for the kind comment! The characters do change later on but I tried to do it believably, with good old-fashioned character development, rather than a plot like ... one day Zim actually clicks that his mission is fake, he becomes emo and realises he's been in love with Gaz all along ... yeah don't worry this story doesn't go down that path.

I'd put the fic back on ff.net but I figure it'd just be pulled down again. Although maybe it's not as policed as it used to be, from what you say.

SPOOKnVEN In reply to SilentKnight4 [2010-04-18 05:12:07 +0000 UTC]

good... although weak stories like those are refreshing sometimes... they get predictable....

yeah.... i don't think it is or i know two (they aren't that great of writers) people that'll get kicked off for sure... they have nothing but script after script....

SilentKnight4 In reply to SPOOKnVEN [2010-04-18 07:36:58 +0000 UTC]

Good on them. Scripts are just as much a form of creative writing as prose, in my opinion.

SPOOKnVEN In reply to SilentKnight4 [2010-04-18 17:45:57 +0000 UTC]

yes... i mean.. if you say scripts aren't then you're saying that JCV was uncreative and lacking in ability.... people already think comics is a cheap form of art.... and it's not.. it's just different....

sorry... off topic....
