Fan Fic / Both Syllables

Both Syllables was an Massive Multiplayer Crossover saga by Alohilani/630Kila (girl of the ever changing name, now her dA is hideousblob). It weaves the canons of Buzz Lightyear of Star Command, Invader Zim and Lilo & Stitch into one universe. It consists of, so far, six fanfics: two simultaneous "paths" leading up to 99 Luftballons, and one sequel to it. It is notable for its clever integration of elements, easing into the crossover, and having OCs that, despite being central to the plot, manage to stay likable and not seem out of place.

It also has a modest expanded universe created by fans, aka the author's good buddies like the one who made this page. Now that the original author has left, one has been approached to take the reins.

'Note: The original author has now taken down every single one of her stories. Hence, the links to her fanfiction below are all dead.

Main series

• Buzz Lightyear of Star Command Path
  • City Traffic Puzzle- To pay off gambling debts, XR takes a shady second job in Tradeworld, which throws himself into a load of trouble when he tries to quit. So, he finds himself a bodyguard- Kilana Jookiba.
  • I Palindrome I- In the aftermath of City Traffic Puzzle, XR is saddled with rehabilitating Kila. Meanwhile, Zurg's dark history is revealed, and there is a death in the family.
• Invader Zim Path, currently being rewritten into a single fic due to the author's improving writing skills causing her to hate the original fics.
  • Nowhere Man- When Zim, in a fit of rage, bites Dib, Dib's body chemistry poisons Zim, and Zim's begins to mutate him. While coping with this, Zim sneaks into Alliance space and kidnaps XR's "sister", a second attempt named MALIK.

  • Rules- While Dib and his family move to Hawaii to oversee an auxilliary branch of Professor Membrane's labs, Zim, in an attempt to impress the Tallest, takes MALIK and leaves Earth for the Galactic Alliance. After a run-in with NOS-4-A2, the 2 seperate, in the beginning of the end...
• Major Crossover
  • 99 Luftballons- In four words? It hits the fan. Zim infiltrates Star Command as a rookie ranger, assigned to the newly-promoted XR. Meanwhile, Tak and Zurg manage to hack XR and use him to spy on Star Command. When Zim's planning disrupts a peace conference between the Galactic Alliance and the Federation, everything falls apart. Irk is destroyed, and Zim is captured, by Zurg, assumed dead.
  • Take on Me- Kila takes XR to meet the 'ohana back on Earth. But when a sick Irken invader shows up from being assumed dead, things begin to once again turn for the worse.

Contributions by fans

• The Irken Who Has Everything by Anonymous-Materials- Still in progress. Zim is living on Kaua'i and for the time things seem to have settled down, until an evil plant attaches to his head, mentally throwing him into an alternate universe where his life is perfect. Until it isn't.
• Policy of Truth by Maran Zelde- Also still in progress. Fills in a plot hole in the original series, specifically, where Dib was between Rules and Take On Me when he is rudely and abruptly shoved out of the plot. This fic makes a very good explanation and fits wonderfully into the original series 'canon'. It's also an entertaining read in its own right.
• 21 Sacraments by Nick, though more connected to the forum 'canon', is a fast-paced thriller that takes inspiration from the Silent Hill series, most noticeably the use of Multiple Endings.

There's also a roleplay forum that by now has nothing to do with the series.
