You want glory and riches and fame and book signings and an HBO adaptation and Hollywood parties and piles of cocaine and then groupies and threesomes and orgies and more, so much more! Maybe a couple of statues and the Nobel prize and all of the trophies and medals and the bestseller status and a book tour and red...
Read New Beginnings now!So I’m of two minds for how this story resolves… on the one hand there’s the “this home, this timeline is where the heart is” on the other, our protagonist feeling incomplete almost feels like a subconscious regret of jumping. Where do you stand on this?For me, this ending became a parallel...
1.NowYou take your time with the cleanup. Heavy machinery sparking in the dusty nebula. Great tubes sucking galactic slurry into density accelerators, the remains of the Crion system. Green interstellar glow-lights illuminate the sides of your Spidercraft: the gaudy text “Clifford’s Cosmic Catastrophe Mitigation”...

I’ve done the former, but you know, none of the latter. I’ve always been...
The Late Cretaceous is hotter than the other periods I’ve visited. My dossier says it’s because of all the volcanic activity. I can’t see any volcanoes from my campsite, which is on the shore of the prehistoric Pacific Ocean, but the air is thick, like a bad smog day in Los Angeles.I’m queasy from the jump. Time...
💡Read Dinosaurs Are Too Big now!So what do you have against heavy-duty, industrial sized dinos like the Triceratops? What did they ever do to you?!You know what, this is a valid point, it really isn’t fair to the dinos to put this all on them. In real-life I have an intense amount of anxiety around motor vehicles. I...

From the Editor’s Chisel:The dust has finally settled on Tuesday’s tragic three stegosaurus pile-up. Five people are dead, another seven seriously injured. Our city is at rock bottom, scraping to find some answers. Folks, trust me when I say I’m not one of those hippie-dippie, free-the-lizards activists, who expects...
Read When To? now!Do you have any “Tim’s” in your life who maybe get hyperfixated on something, ignoring the things that need to get done around them?Myself. I’ve had to set aside a day each week for laundry, dishes, and other household chores and then hold myself accountable to following through. Fictional worlds...
