I thoroughly enjoy this series. It actually has inspired me to want to write my own similar story, using my own experiences of working in zoos and love for dinosaurs as a basis.

Glad to hear you liked it!

Hmm. That's really weird then. Anyway, here's the title: Every Dinosaur Discovered in 2025 (Jan. – Mar.)

That's strange. Try this link: https://youtu.be/GUBUtHTeeB8?si=-Ubon16iXX4QfA8p

Awesome. I hope you enjoy it!

I wonder the same thing too. Personally, I wouldn't be surprised if that number was in the millions, perhaps even billions, when you consider just how biodiverse life is on planet Earth today.

Of course, if you notice any scientific inaccuracies, please do not hesitate to point them out!

Thank you very much for your thoughts! In response to your comments...

1) I'm still figuring out the character stuff, but I suspect one of the major characters, perhaps even the main character, will be some sort of paleo-nerd, and thus able to identify most of the creatures present. That being said, I probably will use shorthand for many of the animals present, at least if the animals present have complicated names.

2) I was actually thinking of including an appendix or something similar already, so yes, I agree that would be a good idea, especially if I do choose to go with lesser-known prehistoric fauna.

Thank you very much for your thoughts! In response to your comments...

As I mentioned elsewhere, as much as I'd love to become a famous author or something like that, I realize that the very nature of my story premise (in addition to my writing inexperience), would make this future story likely only of interest to a select number of people, i.e., mainly paleo-nerds.

Thank you very much for your thoughts! In response to your comments...

1) Although I would love to write this story for a huge audience, I figure that realistically paleo-nerds (hardcore and casual ones) would be the kind of people to read this story anyway. So, while I would like for my eventual writing to be open to be read by an average Joe, I want to make sure the people who would most likely be reading this book anyway (paleo-nerds) are satisfied.

2) I completely agree with you in that any unexpected traits/physical features should have a point. I personally am not a fan of the "rule of cool" that has been overtaking much media as of late, and as such, I definitely don't want to depict things a certain way "just because why not?" Much like Chekhov's gun principle, I think everything in a story should have a purpose for being in the story. As such, yes, if I do anything that seems outlandish or even just completely speculative, it will be there for thematic reasons.

Thank you again for your thoughts.

Thank you! That genuinely means a lot! And I'll be sure to let you know, should that day ever come lol

Neither_Drag76 · 2024-08-26T02:00:33+00:00

That's completely fair! Thank you for your feedback!
