Oh, well thank you very much! We're glad to hear you're enjoying the story so far. The story will be continued in due time. We both just work very hectic schedules currently, so finding time to update regularly is kind of hard for us. But the story will be completed at some point in the future. Thanks for reading and commenting. We appreciate the support. ^^

Hey, thanks for your input on our story (and sorry it took me a while to get back to you). I'm hoping we'll be able to post up an update sometime in the near future as the chapters are ready and we're just waiting on Sass to finish up some shading on the newest preview image (she's already done the line work and is just sorting out the details now). It all really comes down to how busy we are though, so please hang tight and more will be posted before too long. It's just a bit of a process at times getting chapters prepped and ready for posting. We appreciate the support in the meantime though and are glad you're enjoying it so much. ^^

Thanks. You guys are brilliant, it takes real talent to write a story like that and cause emotion like that. And the fact that you have a team to work with. I've been busy as well until I got fired recently so now I have all this time on my hands. If you would ever like some help or need inspiration I would be glad to help. My depression is a severe 28/30. But your story keep me interested in something so I don't blank out from the world. You may not realize it, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who is fascinated by the story enough to keep my thinking about what could happen next and not depressing thoughts. Thanks so much for responding.

AAAAHHH!!! I'm terribly sorry for the delays between responding back to you. I just never can seem to catch a break from things, even on my days off from work. But finally, I've found some time to reply to my messages on here.

I'm happy to hear you're enjoying our story as much as you are, and that it's been able to serve as a sort of distraction from whatever unpleasant thoughts may pass through your mind from time to time. To be perfectly honest, it's the same for me. My role plays are always that thing that help me de-stress at the end of a difficult work week or unpleasant day (or even just in general at the end of the day when I'm trying to wind down enough to sleep). I just never can satisfy my need to think up random scenarios for Zim and Dib to be caught in, and I often look back on my stories for a good read whenever I'm feeling anxious or bored. DIS especially is one of my fave role plays I've worked on, and the story itself is actually complete. It's just taking Sass and I a bit more time to convert it to a narrative for easier reading. We do have a sequel to DIS as well though, and another separate ZADR story we're currently in the process of writing whenever we get free moments. The sequel is on a bit of a hiatus though.

As for your offer of help and inspiration, I can't say there's much need for it on DIS (Like I said, it's already complete. Just not posted). But I'm always happy to accept help with some of my other ZADR role play stories if you'd ever be interested. I'm always looking for beta readers on another story of mine as well as inspiration for unfinished works. So feel free to let me know in a note if you'd ever be interested. XD (It would mean reading a completely different narrative, but Zim and Dib are always characterized close to the same as they are in DIS). Hahaha. Thanks once again for your input on our work so far. I'll definitely also keep your offer in mind for the future (since I may go back at some point and revise some of the earlier DIS chapters).

I would love to help you out on anything you need. I have the gift of brain storming.... And I am very flexible with ideas, I don't get upset if things change. I'm actually working on many of my own stories as well as helping my boyfriend create a Dog RPG. But since I have no job and nothing to do, working with you guys would be awesome!! I got bored one day and imagined what Zim would look like in Fairy Tail.... this was born....  I can even do art for your stories as well, If you draw me a sketch of what you want, and send it to me, I can make it. If you want something changed I will gladly do so. This artwork you see is artwork on a story I'm working on.... And I made it from 2 things, a sketch I did and reference images. Just let me know if you want anything, brainstorming ideas, artwork, anything and I'll help out.

Ah, wonderful! I'll be happy to have your input on some of my other works then. As of right now, the story I'm most looking for reader criticism on is one I've been writing for roughly 10 years now: "ZADR Orange." It's a monster of a story length-wise and requires a LOT of revision on my part. But I'm happy to receive any help I can get on it now that I've begun the revision process, even if it means going back and re-writing entire scenes. The story itself can be found here if you're interested in looking into it: No pressure though. To be fair, the very early chapters are rushed and crap to begin with. XD Aside from a few small changes here and there (and all of chapter 1), it's pretty much comprised of the original writing from 10 years ago. So as I'm certain you can imagine, the beginning is undeniably horrible. But if you can get past the shitty writing at the start of the work, I promise is does get better with time (I eventually stopped being as lazy with the writing around chapter 150 or so? XD) But anyways, I'm mostly in need to proof readers to tell me what they feel most needs revision. Because it's such a long story in itself, I tend to jump around. Just making small changes here and there until it stops sucking as much. Hahaha. XD If you do happen to take on the challenge of reading this old work of mine, feel free to throw out any additional ideas you may have for future chapters in the work. Even though the story is technically planned out to an extent (I know how I plan on ending it), I'm always open to hearing details from my readers about things they may want me to give some more insight into along the way of working towards the story's completion. Once again though, there's no pressure to continue reading/offering input if you DON'T like the narrative/themes/plotline/etc. It's not quite everybody's cup of tea after all.

And as for fanart, I'm always happy to accept any fanart my readers may upload for my stories. I can't say I have all that much time to sketch out ideas of my own though. So only create fanart for it if you really feel like it. I don't like to force others to make art for me, though I do commission it from certain deviants every now and then. If I can get more of this story's revisions in order however, I may re-open a very old group that was created for the story several years back. A lot of drama went down with my co-writer at the time though, so I need to make time for clearing that drama out of some of the journal posts and removing some deviants who are watching the group still but I've had fallings out with. If I start a group back up, that will be dedicated to reader fanart and such. But once again, it all comes down to revision in this instance. Although it's been around long enough to draw in both good AND bad commentary from people in the fandom, I don't want to settle on leaving it where it's at now. It needs a lot of work still and I wholly intend to continue improving upon it with time.

Sorry it's been a while. I've been busy planning a wedding since I was proposed to. I finished some things and now I have some time to help out. Just let me know what you need and I'll see if I can do it. I'll check on that story btw, but for the record, you are a great story writer. I may create fanart when I get my laptop screen replaced. A friend stepped on it and I can't use touchscreen anymore. It's gonna cost 300 dollars to fix, so it may be awhile before fanart comes. A tip I use when writing, that you could try, is to "play the scene" in your head like a movie. I daydream a lot so I always daydream what I'm gonna write. I don't know if this will help, but after you write a chapter, replay the scene in your head, and change what you think would make it better.

Example:
Daisy, a cat, stalked her prey along a frozen river. As she got closer, she could smell a mouse. When she got close enough, she pounced, and caught the mouse. She walked proudly home and dropped it at the doorstep. Her owners would be proud.

*Now replay as a movie*
Daisy, a white and grey tabby she-cat, stalked her prey along the frozen river. Her breath showed in the crisp, night air, her eyes sparkling with focus. As she got closer to her target, she could smell the savory flavor of mouse. Finally she spotted her prey, nibbling on some seeds. When she got close enough, her muscles tightened as she launched herself at the mouse. Before it could move, she sank her teeth in it's warm neck. With a snap it was over, and with her tail high, trotted home, enjoying the flavor of mouse blood on her tongue. She thought of how proud her owners would be, and the love she would receive. As much as sleeping outside scared her, this night was better than she could ever have hoped for it to be.

Sometimes playing it in your head adds details that no one else will normally see. Just a tip
