I forgot 2 review da last chpt. ers b/c I wasn't up 2 it but this is a kick ass story, I used 2 think I was a-sexual until I met some1 but whatev, 10 out of 5.

I love it!!

^.^
Keep writing!! You are an awesome writer and I envy you!

I feel kind of like this sometimes... but then I end up forgetting all of my problems and I get really hyper...

Oh my gosh.

This is awesome! I love how you write!! It's beautiful!

I've thought some thoughts somewhat like this before too... just not as thoroughly...

omg Dib's wearing a question sleep shirt . . .
This was a good chapter, and though I can't empathize, I still felt horrible for her! I can't imagine not being accepted by my family. Oh, and I didn't think Izzy was mary-sue-ish . . .

HA! I knew it!! Nny is awesome, and I love how you used Jhonen's own words - 'badly wired'. I also loved how you made Squee cringe from the 'shit in people' comment, like from that one story in the comic! And I really like this chapter! It was sweet with an awesome message! Yay! Nny is once again being very phylisophical . . .

I knew you were a fan. I read your profile and story descriptions. I'm probably going to read more (when i have time). I love how you put Squee in! I am going to take a wild guess here that his protection was a 'someone' - the same person as his ride: Nny. Ha! I love those comics . . . This chapter was kinda sweet, and not as sad. :)

Ha, Todd. I'm thinking you've read the comics. This fic is so sad. . . poor Gaz. . .

This is really good so far, and I really like it (pulled some heart-strings. Zim's lines are really funny too). The writing is very good. I'm also guessing that SqueeGee7 is based on Jhonen Vasquez's character Squee (and 7 in Nny's house #)? It was made even more obvious when i read his responsis. Have you read Squee! or JTHM?

I must say that it has been a very interesting read so far. Something about this fiction, somehow, makes me feel kind of giddy for some reason, even at its darkest moments. I suppose that's because I have been there, I am there at some parts still, and it feels quite insteresting reading about it in a fiction as opposed to someone's story on a forum board.
The funny thing, really, is that from chapter 3 on, Gaz has been completely different from me (never had wet dreams or fantasies for one *sigh*, and my 'default' sexuality was gay, I had started to wonder if I was straight later, as funny as it sounds) and yet, similar enough I can completely relate. Seeing the world from her point of view is also refreshing, somehow, and makes me wonder right now if our sexuality doesn't affect very much what we write. I wonder, sometimes, if the sexual characters I depict don't come out as asexual and romantics out of a slip of though from me. Doesn't seem to make much sense, but when I scroll down a fanfiction archive on pairings where, although they accept all ratings, I can find only R and NC-17 fics, it does make you wonder. (still bitching about LoTR fiction, don't mind me)

Well, I have to admit that I have never seen Invader Zim myself, and the only reason I started reading this fic was the fact that the word 'asexual' in the summary seemed to hold more meaning than 'this is an excuse for a cliche slash story'. And, although I have no idea about the characters or the original canon itself, I must give you thumbs up for working so well in this subject, as I must admit I have tried very often but always failed to write. I agree with most of Gaz' visions, but as a tinybit romantic asexual myself, I tend to believe a little more in the human kind generally (but unfortunately not much more).

Anyway, keep up the good work, maybe through fanfiction one day asexuality will knock itself into people's heads sort of like homosexuality has. There is always hope. =p

Haha I think I'm falling into the habit of reviewing every second chapter here XD

But yeah... again, this is voicing my thoughts pretty well. No sex, humans suck, no masturbation. My friends have tried to show me porn, but it's just like "yeah... it's the human body. So what? Nothing special"

Heh. Am I being too revealing? =P

:<

This seems to be putting my thoughts into words quite nicely. Though I've never actually self-harmed (aside from the whole fingernail thing... that seems to take my mind off of really troubling things when I need it), I have thought about it on many the occasion. Luckily I have other vents like writing and can keep the thoughts at bay though.

I think that reading this fanfiction is making me feel a bit better... knowing that you put personal experiences in this, it makes me glad that I'm not the only one. I've known for some time that it was that way, but still... it's just nice to read something like this that captures my thoughts so well.

You know, I knew for quite a while that this was up here because of dA, but I never actually got around to reading it.

Lately I've... been questioning things. It seems everyone's getting into relationships and half of them are looking at porn and stuff, and I honestly don't understand it. People still say it's because I'm going through a phase or something, but I don't know...

Everyone says that I should start liking people, but I honestly feel no desire for sex... heck, my mom's even booked an appointment at the doctor to find out what's wrong with me.

I dunno. Seems like a lot of the things described in here are describing perfectly how I feel. No faith in the human race, no sex drive...

I'm just so confused. I like someone, but not in teh sexual way... I just like being around him and stuff. :

Dear Invader Sideos,

I know hardly anyone starts a review like that, but I had intended for this to originally be a PM. However, after reading 19 chapters of your story without issuing a single review, I felt rather guilty. I know that I am pretty late to this fic (hell, you started this one over a year ago), but I feel I still have to tell you what I think. And I have to say, this fic was (and still is, of course) awesome. Your prose is absolutely amazing. You, having achieved a higher skill of imagery than most, and have not once failed to draw me in to your writing. I read your other fics, Beautiful Torment and Earthly Addictions, and it was much the same there. I will go as far as to admit that, yes, I cried. I did. Gaz's struggle to identify her sexuality deeply moved me. I had never thought of Gaz in such a way. I even found this fic mildly informative; I had a very little idea of what it meant to be asexual. Upon reading the first few chapters, I immediately went out and educated myself, so to speak. I suppose I should credit you with that. But there is much more than that to this fic. It has all the elements of a good story. It has its ups and downs, its angst and humor, and it, for the most part, manages to keep OOC-ness to a minimum (except, of course, when OOC-ness is required for character development). There is little I would change with this fic. I have noticed quite a few grammatical errors, however, so I would suggest you check yourself a little more carefully.
But after reading this fic, I realize that I agree with most of your ideas and opinions. I have no doubt at all that you received a fair amount of flame-laden reviews (and if this is not the case, forgive me), but I commend you for continuing this fic in lieu of that. Your ability to convey the self doubt of realizing one's alternative sexuality may change a few lives. I know it touched mine. However, there is one thing I have to disagree on:

St. Anger was an awesome album!

LOL.

Well, I hope to see the end of this fic. Please say you'll finish it. I eagerly await the conclusion.

one of your many loyal fans,

-the silenced
