Dib in the PITS is finally complete! Whoo!

But perhaps you're wondering---what's next for Fanfiction(dot)net's JoeMerl? Well...I'm not totally sure, to be honest.

Of course "Death of the Dib" will be continuing, and I want to take a little break to give that more work, maybe build up a few "buffer" chapters before I try working on anything else. And I have some one-shots and short story collections I have, some already written on my computer, that I might wind up posting. But in terms of a multi-chapter story, what will be the next thing I do? I have a ton of ideas; maybe you can help me decide.

Here, out of the more-than-thirty-and-no-I'm-not-even-kidding-IZ-story ideas I have, are the ones I am most likely to write sometime soon:


Tallest Pink Sequel to "Dib in the PITS," in the sense that Peggy and RODGER will play important roles. Red and Purple are preparing for an important meeting with the Vosgarian Sludgelady, when suddenly a new Tallest joins their ranks. Meanwhile, a new boy in Zim and Dib's class may be hiding something to do with the meeting. It will be RedxOCxPurple...kind of. (Evil grin.)

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Earth Prequel to "Dib in the PITS," taking place during the six months between Zim leaving Conventia and current events on Earth. Will feature Zim, Tak, Dib (maybe) and Peggy and RODGER in prominent roles. I only have vague plans for this one, so it's more likely I'll write "Tallest Pink" before getting to this.

Agent Stoker Agent Stoker of the Swollen Eyeball Network is young, smart, competent---and a big jerk! When he gets assigned to "help" Dib catch Zim, foes may have to work together to get rid of their mutual annoyance.

A Weekend at EARL's: House Party of Doom Sequel to my popular one-shot, "A Weekend at EARL's," and possibly "Agent Stoker," so this may have to wait. Zim's Computer and Dib work together to get rid of Zim for a while, but Keef, Tak and the Swollen Eyeball Network may wind up ruining their plans.

((Untitled)) An Irken Voot Cruiser crashes on Earth, depositing two new "kids" into Dib and Zim's skool. Are they new Irken Invaders? Or something even stranger? (Okay, that summary sounds all mysterious, but this story's going to be funny.) Would be a slight crossover with "Death of the Dib," but not to the point that non-readers of that would be confused.

Amethyst's Teenage Rebellion of Doom A few years in the future, Zim has to deal with a Utopian Invader trying to steal his job, and his daughter's growing sense of teenage angst. An authorized parody of Invaderzimfannumber1's stories. Not that she knows what will happen. Heh-heh-heh. (Another evil grin.)


Please note that a lot of those titles are speculative, and that while I am asking for your opinions, I ultimately serve the Almighty Plot Bunnies---if you all vote for one thing and they want another, sorry. Plus I have other fandoms I want to write in (any TDI fans here? Anyone?) But please feel free to review/PM me with what you'd like to see, and thanks for reading! :-D
