Invader Zim is one of my favorite cartoons of all time. You all know I'm an insufferable curmudgeon. It takes quite a bit to get into my magical "favorite" bag and Zim is in that bag.
To see something like THIS is completely heartbreaking. Soul crushing. I don't know how, but make sure Mr. Vasquez never sees this. Were I him, I'd probably kill myself.
Fan fiction - the answer is always no (Unless you're Peter Chimaera. Look it up).
It looks like they watched Zim and took this from it: Zim is an angry and power hungry ALIEM. Dib am hero. Use the word "doom" and refer to pigs and/or monkeys. BAM! I'm gonna make a comic! This is a good use of my time!
Look, if that sort of thing is really in your heart, I'm not going to stop you. Do whatever you want. I would however, plea that you change your mind. There's obviously some kind of talent behind their work. The art and coloring is nice! It really is a shame to see that go to waste. If you really want to honor someone else's work, be inspired by it and create something completely new because of it. To an artist, I don't think there's anything more flattering than that.
Fan-fiction to an artist, though; I don't think there's much more insulting than that. Artists like to see things evolve. Not sit around dwelling in one place.

ReplyDeleteI totally agree, Impar. The trouble with most of the inhabitants of earth is that they refuse to evolve and be their own person with original ideas. It's much easier to use an idea thats already established and easy to capitalize on!

ReplyDeletewow, that was short... I leik GAZ coz she is sooooo tough and detached and wearz dark clothez and haz purple hairz and doezn't take any from anybody uwwaaaa~ ^-^;
but yeah, I think there is only one way to make a successful fan-fic, and that's to make one that is sooo bad, it becomes hilariously good.
See http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4615680/1/Light_and_Dark_The_Adventures_of_Dark_Yagami for reference.
I got to "Light was crazy and punched table." This is amazing. I'm gonna go read some more!
