(Post Comment) DEJA-VU THAT BECAME REAL

[thundertail]

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!

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!

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 fragmented 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!
