Hello everyone! Ready for my next mega fanfic?! This one has gone through many iterations, and I have made many attempts to put it down and failed. But this time I think i got it! The title has changed many times as well, but the basic idea has remained pretty much the same. How would someone who is into these boards going to react if they actually find themselves on Dinotopia? They would have all kinds of foreknowledge of what it would be like, and know what is expected of them - they may even know how to read and write! In this one I am cast away on Dinotopia (Me personally, and not just my avatar!), and the situations I find myserlf in i would actually do there if presented to me. I would not necesarilly do anything spectacular, or go too much beyond what I know I'm capable of; but I will try to grow there, just like anyone supposedly washed up there would be expected to. Since i will be there for the rest of my life (So to speak), I will be there a long time and grow old there and die a happy man. This work will be written in First-Person descriptive type of writing, so there will be no dialogue; just me describing what someone said (I know: a boring way to write; but this form of writing best suits the fanfic!). I hope you like it! Please put any comments or suggestions or anything you want to say about it here; and not in the main thread itself as it would spoil the continuity of the work... THANKS! ;D

Well, I'm a few chapters along now, and you can see it sees pretty typical so far. (Told you I'd not do much out of the ordinary there!)
As you can see, my brother has a lot of hangups about me and anything not in his control in general - and me in particular. (Yes, that happens in RL too!). Not that I'm ratting him out, I just wanted it to be real enough! He will learn later in this what it really means to be Dinotopian - or at least be a nicer person like he should in RL.
As fo the others that got washed ashore with me, they also learn thier things as time goes on. However, since this RL fanfic progresses, we lose sight of most of them as the fanfic is about what concerns me (Besides, I just get too busy there to even wonder what they're doing for a while, but i eventuall meet up with them later on.)
I know that this style of writing is a little boring, so please bear with it and it should get better. (Maybe I should have written it with dialogue!)
Once again, please feel free to add your input to it here in this thread (I need the suggestions! ;D) Anyway, enjoy!

Only registered users can comment here... this isn't like the OMB. actually I like this writing style.. it's the same style I used to write "The Raptor in me" ^__^ but I wrote it in a way where the readers would impersonate me.. and live up the moment.. but I"m no writer. neither learned to recognize styles I enjoy every writing of yours!!

The going is has been little slow lately, but things do progress. I been real busy in RL lately, but I manage to get a chapter or two a week. ----- My RL writing is getting under way a lot lately. Looking into turning my RL writing into E-books. Some RL buddies want to turn my ideas into comic books. My other RL goings-on: Work is still there - takes most of my time. Taking care of the house is also time consuming. My toy hobby is getting under way, looking for things to buy/sell/trade. (Looking all over for Dinotopia things for y'all too!) RL friends come and go, new friends pop up all over. (Heard one of my grade school friends died in car accident. ) (Met girl Transformer fan that liked me more than my stuff!) As for all the rest, things just get stranger and stranger! ----- Oh well! As i said before, if you want to make a comment about DEJA-VU THAT BECAME REAL, please post it here! B.D., S.P. Thundertail

OHHHHH...NooooooooS....! When I went to make a new entry in my mega-fanfic, I found I could not enter my file on my computer! It seems my computer did a scan and found something corrupt on the file, and simply dumped it out; and I think you can't store piccys on a simple WPS file (Unsupported content on file), so it got so fragged that the computer simply dumped it!
That file is toast, so I got to go into here and retrieve it... All but the last chapter I was working on. So please bear with me a little while, I'll post more as soon as i avert this disaster!
Laters!

Good news!
I finally got my file back!
To get it back, I had to first copy it from the TOP onto the old text file I was using, then I had to do a security scan on it before I could paste it into the new text format. My next step was to do a spelling and grammar check as it was still messed up, and now I'm in the middle of a thougrough read-through to make sure it's right. It's only when I'm done with this is when I will continue on the writing part!
At least the thing is back with me! Let's hope it stays that way for now!
Laters!

Well, I finally got that file working again, and made sure it works properly. I also gave it a read-through to see if anything got wrecked and it seems OK. That was a while ago, but other things in writing keep on coming up. I had to prep some of my other files for publishing, and create new bios for old characters, and develop what they would look like (They are being transformed into cartoon characters and comic book characters!). It's the "Silly Season" for hackers and the like that have a lot of time on their hands during the holidays, so I also have to watch out for thier crazy computer antics too! (Had to clean the computer when a worm got in through my brother's email... I been busy!)! On this fan-fic, I lost the things I was going to post next; so I had to recreate those from memory (If any of you write, you know it's hard to rethink to the last detail what you thought of in the past!), so the going's kind of slow! I promise I will post something soon! Laters! Thundertail

BUT WAIT!... THERE'S MORE!...
I know I've been away from this story for a while, and I stopped well before the thing was done. I forgot to show the remainder of my career as Skybax commander, and neglected to continue my affair with Sally. There were way more things I needed to write, and I'm sorry things got so crazy in RL that I didn't have the time. But now I'm getting a little time to spare, and I'm returniung to my writings - this included! I will get back to this fanfic as soon as I read over what I already sis, and get back into the groove!
More will be coming shortly... I promise!...
