Irk Du Freak: A Choose-Your-Own Adventure

by Inferna13

Your very own Invader Zim choose-your-own adventure! You, as your custom Irken, end up stepping into the world of Irk Du Freak, a freak show consisting of strange Irkens that show their talents and characteristics off to an audience. You get caught up in all the chaos, unfortunately. Will you meet familiar faces? Will you make new relationships? I have no idea! That's up to you!

1. Chapter 1

A/N: Okay, I know I haven't said anything about this fic until now, but I got a random stroke of genius (thanks to the song "The Greatest Show" and the book series "Cirque Du Freak", in case you didn't get the pun) and I just had to write it out.

Basically, it'll be set up like this: Every chapter, there will be at least one choice for you, the reader, to make about what should be done next. It will be in 2nd person (meaning I'll use phrases like "you" and "your") so you can get a bit more invested in what's going on. Hopefully it'll add a little uniqueness to the fic as well.

Enjoy!

Imagine, if you will (which you have to), an Irken. That's it. Just any old inhabitant of the planet Irk. You can make your Irken however you want, tall or short, pale or dark, just craft it how you want.

You got it? Great.

That Irken is you. That's right. That Irken is going to represent you, whoever you are, in this story. How cool is that?

So, now you have some choices to make. I mean, there's no way to know what you're picturing right now. I'm not psychic or anything, of course.

To be sure that the story describes your "Irksona" correctly, choose an answer to each of these categories.

Go ahead, make your decisions. Got 'em? Good.

Okay, pay careful attention to this part. In order to let the author know what you've picked, close your eyes, pinch your tongue between two fingers, and think really hard about your choices.

Harder.

HARDER.

...you actually did it, didn't you?

Priceless.

Anyway, if you really want your voice to be heard, answer each of the polls listed in the author's profile. They'll be open for a week, then closed for evaluation. About a week after, a new chapter will be released to continue the story. Yeah, that's right, it's awesome and you know it.

Thank you for joining the official committee of story-making! Isn't it nice to read a story you have a say in?

Um, yeah. It is. No one said that was your decision to make.

Until next time, dear reader. Stay tuned.

A/N: I know this chapter was ridiculously short, but everything needs to be set up before the actual story arc picks up steam. Hang in there, guys.
