Invader Zim Prompt Meme Event

[Feel free to repost graphics to other sites to help with promotion]

Event opens: June 10th

Sign-up close: August 17th

Submissions due: August 24th

Join and let yourself be inspired by all the good ideas this fandom has!

Rules

Prompts and works must be for the Invader Zim fandom.

If you submit prompts, please also claim at least one prompt!

All ships and any content is allowed, but must be tagged appropriately.

When fulfilling a prompt, keep to what the prompter is comfortable  with- for example, if a prompt asks for a specific ship or trope to be  excluded, respect that!

Aside from that, if a prompt or a  fanwork has content that is troubling to you, do not interact with it.  Keep fandom drama out of the event.

I ask that minors do not  interact with Mature or Explicit works or prompts. It's your own  responsibility to engage with content that is suitable for you.

You can claim prompts even if someone else has already claimed it.

The event is hosted on AO3, but you can create fanart or anything else you want to!

Your prompt(s) might not end up fulfilled. Please don't take that  personally. There might be a lot to choose from and everyone has limited  time and energy. Instead, see every submitted work as a gift to the  whole fandom!

If you're posting on tumblr: Tag #izpromptmeme2022 and/or @izpromptmeme to get reblogged to the prompt meme Tumblr archive.

Thank you for your participation!

Hello! The event has come to pass, and I’ve been away and unable to properly thank all of you who submitted prompts and works this summer. I’m so happy to see all of the contributions people came up with. Thank you all!

If you started a work and did not finish in time, I still encourage you to keep going! For example, you can use the “gift this work to” option on AO3 to give your work to the prompt-writer. This whole event is about giving to other fans and after all, everyone appreciates a gift!

Tada! It's my first entry for the @izpromptmeme! Make sure to check out all the A+ content on their page 💚💚💚

AN IMPORTANT EDIT: OMFG, I entered it into my calendar wrong, I thought submissions were due on Aug 28th, not the 24th

anguish and despair on planet earth

I guess I'll still tag you folks and post it separately on AO3 😭 My bad

Prompt for @chubbysluggie

Adult Zim and Dib (established ZaDR) meet their younger counterparts who are absolutely horrified that they fall in love.

Push it as far as you want. Dib questioning wtf is wrong with him if he falls for Zim, a literal alien. Zim questioning why he would betray the Irken Empire for a human - his nemesis at that. Make it embarrassing and silly and adorable!

-

It was a normal day in Dib and Zim’s lives as adults living together, which of course meant something absurd happened. Their younger selves appear out of a portal and they need to work together to get them home!

Again sorry to only have a short chapter 1 to start, but I am zooming to finish it soon! It is a really fun prompt!

 Prompt for @reptile-ruler

The Almighty Tallest being the privileged assholes they are. Bonus points if there’s no romance because I’m always craving gen stuff, but you do whatever you vibe with!

-

Little snippet of some introspection by Tallest Red about the nature of being a Tallest. A lot of reflection from a very privileged powerful asshole about how much they deserve to be a privileged powerful asshole.

I am in Europe (CEST), but I will actually close it first thing I do waking up on the 25th (around 6-7AM), which should be at around midnight Eastern Daylight Time.

Here is a converter for y'all to use!

Last day!

Hi!! Quick question, are we able to update works after the submission date closes (adding extra chapters, fixing spelling mistakes, etc)??

Hello!

Yes, you should be able to edit and update your work as usual. It's still your work and you have control over it, the prompt meme closing just means that no new works cannot be added to the collection.

Suds (Invader Zim)

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

summary: Dib reeks. Having just fought an alien blob monster, she desperately needs a shower but doesn't want to take one. Leave it to Zim to force her to, initiating a string of moments perhaps too intimate to be shared between two sworn enemies.

relationships: Fem!Dib/Zim

word count: 3286

tags: Fluff, Hurt/Comfort, Romance, Pre-Relationship, Enemies to Lovers, Slice of Life, Alternate Universe, AU: Gender Changes, AU: Canon Divergence, Post-Canon, Mutual Pining

note: Dib and Zim are both genderbent (or, as genderbent as Zim can be!) and are in their early 20's. Enjoy!

Keeping Up Appearances (Invader Zim)

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

summary: Today was one of those days, in which Dib would stay bed-ridden and do nothing but feel bad about himself. Except, this time Zim won't leave him alone and Dib may just have to confront his feelings with his new boyfriend, even if the Irken doesn't quite understand it all.

relationships: Dib/Zim

word count: 2,805

tags: Hurt/Comfort, Fluff, Romance, Established Relationship, Enemies to Lovers, Alternate Universe, AU: Canon Divergence, Post-Canon

note: I've accepted that my favorite niche genre of ZADR is the early days of their relationship where they are still getting used to being together and they're doing their best but they also kind of suck at it but it all ends up being okay. This takes place not too long after high school, so Zim and Dib are around 18-20 here.
