Invader Zim: Born Again Christian

Invader Zim: Born Again Christian is the third story written by MarissaTheWriter, the author of ITS MY LIFE! and TEEN FORTRESS 2.

It follows Gloria Deschanel, Zooey Deschanel's kid sister and a Christian, in the world of Invader Zim and Johnny the Homicidal Maniac. As she goes about, Zim is converted to Christianity, Gloria and "Nee" (who is also a Christian) make a couple and Dib finds a group named Teen Ragers, because the Swollen Eyeball Network simply won't help him.

Mere days after being published, it was MSTed by The Half World, seeing as The Half-World partially contributed in it even happening. The MST can be read here. Skepkitty also made a Dramatic Reading of the first chapter, available here.

The story itself can be found here.


 * Artistic License Biology: Dib is able to survive having Gloria's "crossifix" stabbed through his neck so hard it comes out the other side, without any ill affects. He just pulls it out and runs away.
 * Later its made even more Beyond the Impossible by mentioning that the crossifix had "crit his juggler vane", again without there being any sign that Dib was more than superficially injured by the blow.
 * Canon Immigrant: PrettyDog200, owner of one of the MSTs of TEEN FORTRESS 2, including her self-insertion as "BERZERK MAN", finally got a role, as the leader of the Teen Ragers. Viewer Gender Confusion ensued.
 * Celebrity Cameo: Zooey Deschanel is the Mary Sue's sister, and the girlfriend of


 * ...Why wasn't the author going for Alésia Glidewell or Mary Kae Irvin instead?
 * Simon Cowell appears to (sort of) reenact a scene from Stephen King's book Everything's Eventual.
 * Crossover: Of, as described above, Invader Zim and Johnny the Homicidal Maniac, and The Bible itself.
 * Ghost Rider at one point shows up at Dib's house to.
 * Dead Guy, Junior:
 * Department of Redundancy Department: Gloria mentions that she "screemed like screemin screemer that screems wile screemin".
 * Face Heel Turn: Business Man, originally on the side of Marissa in TEEN FORTRESS 2, has made lovers with Skepkitty.
 * The Fundamentalist: Averted, oddly enough for a Troll Fic. Gloria doesn't mind that her sister is an atheist, and doesn't try to convert anyone other than Zim, who had already expressed interest.
 * She does get angry at Stephen and Zooey "gruntin an groanin" in a "Christian house".
 * And she's delighted that.
 * Good Girls Avoid Abortion:  sends a giant monster to kill Gloria, and the monster happens to be pregnant. Because of this Gloria can't kill it because that would "abortion the baby". Nny solves this by doing an "emerjency c-sextion".
 * Gorn: Being that this is MarissaTheWriter...


 * Also see the above-mentioned Artistic License Biology entry.
 * Heel Face Turn: Nny has gone from a deranged serial killer to one of "Gods spesal solders that kills bad guys".
 * Mythology Gag: In-universe, the plot of ITS MY LIFE! replaces Portal 2.
 * Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: This story was made due to Skepkitty's comment on a fanfic "Zim born again" (being about ), saying that no one should ever write a fanfic about Zim becoming a born-again Christian.
 * Retirony: Business Man mentions that he's going to marry Skepkitty later that night, just before.
