I am Dib07. You may have read my stories. I post art, short stories and anything of interest. I love Invader Zim, and blog about him mostly.

Do you ever think you'll upload more of your stuff from ff. net to ao3? I recently read the discount smeet and it gripped my heart 🥺 I wanna be able to save it in case it's gone one day,,, You're genuinely such an amazing sci-fi writer I love your works 💕✨

Hi there, thank you so much for reaching out!

and yes I intend on uploading more of my works on A03. I am really bad at remembering though! XD I keep reminding myself to do it, then never do! I am so pleased you enjoyed the Discount Smeet! I think that's the only light/cute one out of my entire collection! (Discount Smeet is not going anywhere if I can help it, but yeah if FFN is gonna be a pain, I will transfer it to protect it for you to always enjoy)

And thank you!! You super star! I am just glad to provide you with entertainment, and content that you can lose yourself in! My imagination is something I cannot stop, and just sharing it with others gives me all the happiness and pleasure I could ever ask for!

Debacle R update! New Chapter!

Just wanted to give this story/update a shout out for anyone who remembers/wants to know what it’s all about! I will continue to update, if you’ll please give this story a look! Thanks for all your support and feedback! If you are new, don’t forget to check it out!

Summary:

All his life Dib has wanted to capture Zim and gain the victory and fame he has always wanted. When his wish comes true, his dream doesn’t quite play out as he imagined.

CHAPTER 11: ADRIFT

“In here.” Carlson opened a heavy lab door. Within was a spotlessly clean table, and on that table was a glass container. Inside was a very small and dainty green twig-like thing.

He stared at it, trying to figure out what Carlson was trying to show him. When it dawned on him, seeing that it was A01’s wiry leg, from thigh to foot, he spun round on the man. “What have you done? I didn’t authorise this!”

CHAPTER 12 IS UP! For those few still reading this trash. Look. My awesome dear friend wanted me to update, so technically it’s not totally my fault? XD Anyways, it’s yours to scrap, read, throw away. I dunno. I’m just here. Producing crap for all time.

Sad plot ideas besides killing characters

Here are 14 sad plot ideas that don’t require character deaths

1. Having to give up an item of huge emotional importance 2. A leader being abandoned by their own people

3. Redemption arc that comes just a little too late 4. Making a mistake that’s too big to be forgiven for

5. Unrequited love with a childhood best friend 6. Betrayal by a sibling, parent or child

7. Realizing who they truly love when it’s too late 8. Not being believed by those closest to them when it really matters

9. A character who’s completely at peace with their tragic destiny 10. Relapsing on an addiction after doing so well

11. Making an honest mistake that leads to horrible consequences and endangers people they love 12. Trying so hard time and time again, and still not achieving any results

13. Having to watch a friend or family get tortured without being able to stop it 14. Realizing someone they love is in danger, but they’re the ones who sent them into it

Guys, if you read on AO3 please try to create an account. So many of us writers are going to be forced to lock down our fics to registered users out of necessity to help keep AI away, and it kills us because we don’t want to stop any of you from reading.

AO3 is invite only. So if you know an AO3 user, ask if they have an invitation to give you (we’re given invite codes to share with others who want to join) because that’s an easy way to get in. If you don’t know someone you can ask, this is AO3’s instructions for requesting one from them…

I know this seems like an extra step and maybe you don’t think you need it and can just read from people who haven’t locked their fics. But this isn’t just about you as the reader. If you enjoy fics and you want to keep them coming, this is how you support your favorite writers! If our stats and comments plummet, I guarantee writing is going to start going down as well. Nobody wants that! So please consider making an account and signal boosting this as well! 🙏🏻

**NOTE: AO3 indicates (as of today) there’s 48k some people in the queue for invites and they’re sending out about 5k per day. That’s not a bad wait at all!!**

protecting our works, for us and our readers, is everything.
