Krikey!  I'm actually still alive!!??  Yes humble viewers, Spectra is NOT dead or missing or abducted or anything of that nature.  I'm sure everyone's just SO relieved to hear this. So why am I updating this? There are two reasons:

First I know you're all asking: Why the HELL aren't you writing any fics lately!?!?  And what about the fics you still have to finish!?  How can you just leave us all hanging like this you lousy piece of *bleep bleep bleeeeeeep*   Or something along those lines.  Well, the fact is I AM still writing IZ fanfiction and I haven't given up on any of my yet-to-complete stories.  My problem is, due to some recent, and to me, enraging events going on in my house, I have pretty much been all but kicked out of my precious computer room completely.  Trust me I am VERY pissed about it, but the details aren't important.  What is, is the fact that I haven't been able to get on my computer, not only to go online (this is the first time in TWO WEEKS I've gotten five minutes to myself to do so!), but it also means I can't type OR do any coloring or drawing or anything.  I've been trying like crazy to get all my work done, but it's not easy.  Trust me, it really ain't.  I sincerely apologize, those of you who've been wanting me to finish any unfinished fanfics -_-  But I swear I am STILL writing, working on most of them like a salmon swimming upstream, and this brings me to my second order of business.

I especially want to get working again on this particular fic again, and by the way I'm happy that everyone likes it and thinks my messed up little concoction is actually funny ^_^  Well, most people do anyway, and I'm now working on the part of the movie where I'm gonna need a LOT of extras to be running around and screaming and stuff while the ship sinks (Aw man, I just gave away the plotline!  Shame on me), and I'm recruiting extras to be in these scenes, so now, my friends, here I offer you a golden opportunity to have you or your fancharacter placed in one of the most horrible Invader ZIM fanfics ever written!  All I need is:

-You/Your fancharacter's name

-A short little description of you/their appearance

-Maybe include a little description of their personality

Really, I don't want to be buried under a ton of information.  It's no big deal, I'm just looking for some names to put into the roster of victims, so please keep the info brief.  There's really no way that I can give you or your character a huge part or a ton of lines (I'm sorry ^~^  that's just how it goes, and I'm already strapped to finish this fic), so a name and a very brief description is all I need.  The only other thing I can think is if you have an absolutely brilliant idea for something special you/your character could be doing while the ship is sinking that is completely hilarious and inventive and you know would make the fic a million times funnier, then by all means include that too.  I can't guarantee it'll make it into the final scene, but if I like it I'll make sure to consider your idea.  Also, I'll take up to two characters from any one person, including the person them self, so just two entries at most from each individual please.  I would take more, but I don't know how many people will sign up and I want to keep spots open for everyone.  It's pretty much anyone who signs up is automatically in, but I'm making the deadline be March 1, 2003.  I'm writing this on February 22, so everyone has a week to enter from today.

Hmm, that really wraps it up I guess.  Oh yeah, I've got blue hair now ^_^  I streaked my bangs blue a few weeks ago, mmmmyep.  Cool, huh? ^_~  I just thought I'd mention it cause it looks really neat and I totally love it.  I should'a done it years ago ^^  So yeah, get that fancharacter/personal info to me and I'll continue this fic right away.  Thanks and have a deeeeee-lightful day/evening/night--depending on when you read this ^_^

Update of an update:  July 9, 2003-

Thanks to the people who contributed their character info and their ideas.  The deadline is long over, though, and I have more than enough people and fancharacters, so sorry if you didn't make it.  I've started working on my unfinished fics once more, so look for the completion of this soon.  Thank you again for reading my stuff ^^
