Dinosaur Detective!
« on: January 28, 2010, 01:00:53 PM »
I found this collection of stories on banned site, the premise was simple enough:

Quote
Forums user and fledgling novelist i am seadonkey was flush with confidence when he presented the first 3,647 words of his latest opus "Redeeming Kramluck" to Something Awful's Creative Convention. Tragically, for it is always very sad to see the violent shattering of the "creative breakthrough" light bulb beaming above someone's deluded head, many of his fellow writers reported losing enthusiasm upon reading the first sentence ("In this pitch black room all are blind but the electricity in the air from this most obscene of murders surrounds the corpse with light"). Those who read to the end described the effort as "punishing." Dejected, i am seadonkey closed his thread -- in blatant violation of the forum's boldface rule "Don't Close Your Threads."

As punishment, Pipes! tasked him with writing a short story "about a hard-boiled ankylosaurus solving crimes in a noir-flavored Cretaceous period." Perhaps now disillusioned with writing as a whole, he failed to respond, rendering his account as dead as the cold and stiffening body of hapless "obscene murder" victim David. However, several of his peers fulfilled his assignment with ingenuity. Snuffed out inspiration leads to a creative outpouring -- circle of life.

And so six pages of stellar work were put up onto the front page of the site.

The link is just below, but I must warn you against looking around the rest of the site. It's notoriously anti-furry (though it's all a joke since one of their senior members is a furry.)

"Parents always think kids are wasting their youth, and always have done [so] down through the millennia," says Tom Forsyth of RAD Game Tools. "'That Ug, always holding things. His front paws will develop in funny ways. Why can't he walk on all fours like normal proto-hominids?' And so, whatever the kids spend the most time doing, that's always what parents think is a waste of time, and what is corrupting their lives. It doesn't matter what that is. If all they did was homework, parents would be worrying that their kids aren't becoming well-rounded people. And, in fact, parents do this - enrolling math nerds in karate classes and the like. There is no way to win - parental paranoia ensures that kids are always doing the wrong thing."
