Conclusion
Hello and welcome to the Authors Note and Conclusion to Invader Zim: True Irken Conquest. If you are reading this, I am sure you are yelling at your screen, saying, "Damn you Wrath, where is Mar, Sen, and Taco?! What happened to Dib and the others?", or "Thank god its gone!". Either way, I myself cannot blame your reaction. I will admit, I liked the overall plot, and I loved the characters I created, the now rather cold soldier Mar, the music loving mechanic Sen, and the sarcastic and gothic SIR unit, Taco. But I will also admit, that while I liked the plot and loved the characters, to me, as well as to Jhonen Vasquez if he ever saw it, it is an abomination. Do not send hate mail saying that I'm either wrong or right, I will ignore both. Now, I am also sure you are wondering why I am posting this, and why now. Well, I have picked back up my Irken Characters and I wish to revitalize them. I also wish to end this storyline before I do, because while I did say that I liked the plot, it is no longer in my sights or interests for the plot I believe that the almighty Irken Empire, as well as the Black Ops Irkens, so deeply deserve. And so, in this entire section, I am going to be covering several subjects, including but not limited to what I had planned before in the future chapters (that will no longer even be attempted to be written), what the new storyline might be, and explaining myself to you, the readers.
First, I believe I should explain my absence on Fanfiction. Unfortunately, due to my age (being 16 at the moment. I think I was around 14 at the time, however I am not sure), I had other things on my mind at the time. Other teenagers can attest to that, yet it isn't the entire story. While I had problems such as school, church (yes, I am a churchgoer), and the inevitable relationship problems with my girlfriend at the time, Kim Belis, that wasn't necessarily the case to my abandonment of you, as it were. I am guilty of being a "mood" writer, for lack of a better term. In my opinion, a mood writer is the same as any other, only the fundamental flaw being more apparent: our attention spans. No, I am not saying I have A.D.D., so I will explain for your benefit: When a writer starts a story, at least in my case, he writes with avid interest. We, or I, focus on the characters at the time and make the plot, excited at watching our creation grow. Alas, with me, my problem is thus, my imagination never stops, and I am always thinking. For a lot of people, this wouldn't be a problem, but for me, it means that I create new story ideas and character beginnings as quickly as a man with a cold would go through Kleenex. So, I start those story ideas, with the same enthusiasm, but the story I started before those are painfully neglected. Another problem I had, was that after I had gone on hiatus on IZ:TIC, my girlfriend at the time, Kim, who had also inspired Sen, had cheated on me. I'll spare the details, save that we had been together for two years, and that I had produced art of her (as Sen), on several occasions. After this blatant betrayal, I was no longer happy with Mar (who represented me), and Sen (who represented her).
Now, I had picked them back up recently, along with the new Tallest's, Wrath and Sloth, which had appeared in the first actual chapter I had posted, for a Invader Zim role-play chat room on Deviantart. Doing such reminded me of why I loved the characters, and I learned something from it that I think all authors and writers, aspiring or not, should take away from their writings themselves. All characters, no matter who or what they are, deserve to have their story told. It would be a disservice to them, as well as you, if you do not tell their story in some form. There are no exceptions. Each persons character, is an extension of themselves, and when the story is written, what the characters experience, so does the writer. If the story is exceptionally well written, not only does the writer himself share the experiences of the characters, so does the reader. Be it pleasure, pain, joy, anguish, or even simple neutrality, you will experience it as well. However, that shouldn't discourage you from writing, it should empower you.
Thirdly, I actually had a lot planned for IZ:TIC. Several fight scenes, one being Mar in a powered armor fighting off assassins sent to them, where they had to go through their underground base to safety. Another being when they leave Earth with their captives, and Tak somehow getting captured, with the rescue team being Sen, Dib and Zim, while Mar piloted the ship with Gaz. The rescue team would be boarding a Resisty ship, and Mar having to defend themselves against it without blowing it up. The whole plot would eventually shift with the mysterious demise of Tallest Red and Tallest Purple, and the ascension of Wrath and Sloth to the throne, and the beginning of Operation Impending Doom III, along with the Irken Alliance, headed by the Empire itself. While I will no longer post anything quite IZ:TIC, it will not be completely ignored. It will now be considered Invader Zim: Doom Bringers, the unfinished prequel to my new storyline. It will no longer be a story centered on just Mar and Sen, or the Tallests, however they will be very significant to the plot. Nor will the original Invader Zim characters appear, save cameos or mentions. Now, it will be about the Irken Empire, its allies, their quest for conquest, and its eventual crisis and defending the Irken races very survival. Now, this will give readers a unique opportunity. Below, I am going to post my personal email, and I will ask you to send Pure-Irken Characters. I'm sorry, but I will have to ask that they are overall normal Irkens, without strange powers, half-breeding, or unusual PAKthings, however PAKthings will be more flexible if you specifically ask to have them placed as Black Ops, or if a good explanation is given. Please send in likes, dislikes, personality, quotes, sample sentences and dialogue, etc, as well as physical descriptions and personal histories. Shady backgrounds are encouraged! I will try to post credit where credit is due for others characters, but if I don't, don't despair, for I will not take credit for any characters save my own. You may post a review that takes credit for the character you have. In the meantime, I want to thank avatarjk137 for his encouraging reviews. Also, thank you to anyone who reads this fully, as well as those who read Invader Zim: True Irken Conquest (now Doom Bringers).
(EDIT: The email on my profile is current, so email to that one please.)
