For Invader Zim OC fanfiction, a great plot could involve an OC who is a failed Irken experiment. This OC has unique powers that neither the Irkens nor Zim understand. They end up on Earth and start to develop a friendship with Dib, who sees them as a valuable ally against Zim. Another plot could be an OC that is a space pirate who lands on Earth by accident and gets caught up in the Zim - Dib rivalry. The pirate OC could have their own motives and goals, but also find the situation on Earth quite interesting. And then there could be an OC that is a dimensional traveler who brings with them strange technology that both Zim and Dib are eager to get their hands on.
One idea could be an OC who is a half - Irken, half - Earthling trying to find their place in both worlds. They could struggle with the Irken's evil plans while also trying to fit in on Earth. Another could be an OC from a different planet entirely who comes to Earth to stop Zim's chaos, believing it might endanger the whole galaxy. A third idea is an OC that is a mutated experiment on Earth that Zim mistakes for one of his own creations and tries to use in his schemes.
Well, an interesting plot for Invader Zim OC fanfiction could be an OC who is a super - intelligent Earth animal, like a squirrel. This squirrel OC has somehow learned about Zim's true identity and decides to form a resistance group of other animals to stop Zim. Or perhaps an OC that is an ancient Earth spirit that awakens because of Zim's presence and tries to drive him away. Also, an OC that is a time - traveling alien who has come to prevent Zim from ever starting his invasion in the first place.
One idea could be that the Grimm from RWBY somehow end up in the Invader Zim universe. Zim, thinking they are some new form of alien threat, tries to study them while Dib sees them as a chance to prove himself by fighting them. Meanwhile, the RWBY characters are on a quest to get back to their own universe.
An interesting Invader Zim fanfiction could center around an alternate universe where Zim is actually a good guy sent to protect Earth from other threats. Or it could be about Zim and Dib getting stuck in a time loop and having to figure out how to break it. You might also consider a story that focuses on the strange and unique creatures in the Invader Zim universe and how they interact with Zim and Dib.
One plot idea could be that Zim discovers the power of the Sailor Scouts and tries to use it for his own evil plans. Maybe he thinks he can use their magic to finally take over Earth in a more powerful way.
One idea could be a crossover where Zim tries to take over Townsville and the Powerpuff Girls have to stop him. They initially underestimate Zim because of his small stature but soon realize his advanced alien technology is a real threat.
Here's a more detailed fanfiction idea. In a world where the Powerpuff Girls have been unable to stop a powerful new villain, they seek help from Dib, who then brings them to face Zim. Zim, thinking he can use this situation to his advantage, offers to help them. But in reality, he has his own plans to take over both Townsville and the Earth. As they work together, the Powerpuff Girls start to notice Zim's true intentions. Bubbles tries to befriend Gir to get more information, while Blossom tries to keep Zim in check. Buttercup is more skeptical and constantly on guard. Meanwhile, Dib is trying to document everything for his own records, hoping to finally prove Zim is an alien once and for all.
One idea could be a crossover with 'The Simpsons'. Zim could try to infiltrate Springfield, thinking it's a key Earth location for his invasion plans. Maybe he mistakes Homer for a powerful Earth leader and tries all sorts of wacky schemes to take over the town through him.
One idea could be Zim getting sucked into a black hole and having to find his way out in a strange new dimension filled with bizarre creatures. He could use his usual over - confidence and wacky inventions to try and navigate this new world.
One interesting concept could be the exploration of Zim's character in a darker light. Maybe he's more menacing and his plans are even more devious. For example, his attempts to take over Earth could involve more cruel and calculated actions towards the humans.
One common theme is the struggle for acceptance. OCs often face challenges in being accepted by the existing characters in the 'Invader Zim' universe, whether it's by the Irkens or the humans.
One interesting Invader Zim fanfic could be 'The Green Menace Returns'. It continues the story with Zim coming up with even more outlandish plans to take over Earth. Another good one is 'Dib's Discovery', which delves deeper into Dib's investigations of Zim's true identity. And 'Gir's Adventures' is also fun as it focuses on Gir's wacky antics around the city.
