He's not a complete pinch of the canon character; rather, as the backstory elaborates, he's a canon replacement (who was, in the Sue-story, intended to die considerably earlier than he was supposed to according to the canon), and his personality does have some distinct differences from the real Karl Wolf.
I'm just noting that in case it makes a difference. If it'd be a problem later on, I won't press the issue. There's still plenty of time to brainstorm other characters if so.

The reason that Velociraptor in JP are so big is because when Crichton was writing the novel, dromaeosaurid classification was being reworked and Deinonychus, which is about as tall as a man, was assigned to the genus. This has since been rescinded, and it's no excuse for calling the JP raptors V. mongoliensis, but it's a vague sort of explanation. As for the feathers, dude, don't you find it awesome that dinosaurs still live around us? BIRDS, dude, BIRDS ARE DINOSAURS! *has been excited about this since she was ten and will continue to be excited about it for the rest of her life*
Don't get me started on 10,000BC, either ...

Somewhere a palaeontologist is crying. Would that be you?
I've always liked reptiles in general, but dinosaurs are particularly awesome. Any fic (squicky or not) that grossly misrepresents them deserves to be killed dead. I understand your outrage.
When I was a kid, Jurassic Park was my favorite film. I watched it at least a dozen times. Oh, did I love the velociraptors! I was very disappointed to learn that the coolest dinosaur ever was supposed to be much smaller and have stupid feathers.

To this day I haven't been able to sit through the sequels.
I *love* dinosaurs. The whole reason I'm a palaeontologist is because of the deep and abiding love I've had for dinosaurs since I was four. But as you say - NOT THIS WAY.
(I'm going to be watching JP again soon though - we're having a departmental movie night once a month and while the first film shown is going to be the Core (there's nothing funnier than locking a bunch of geologists in a room with The Core and listening to them bitch), Jurassic Park is on the menu)

I wasn't sure about the Nurgle at first, but it looks like you've covered all the bizarre angles on that, so it's fine.
Would 'Sue sacrifices work to summon him back from the Warp, or does it have to be an actual confirmed member of the species Homo sapiens?

Confession: I have never seen Jurassic Park. by

I have read the book multiple times, though.
Rule 34, cliche as it is, is a likely culprit. A surprising amount of porn has been written and drawn for no reason other than that.
There is also the possibility, slim and disturbing as it is, that someone WOULD find something like this hot. This is, after all, the Internet. It is humanity distilled to its purest essences; the good, the bad, and the VERY ugly.
Personally, I like dinosaurs. I have since I was about four years old, though my focus wandered to other realms of knowledge (history, World War II in particular), and why shouldn't I? They're way cool. But I don't think I ever liked them quite this way.
Also, as biologically inaccurate as it may be, I just can't think of dinosaurs as having feathers. It just sounds WEIRD to me.

But,seriously, where do people come up with this stuff? Did the fic author sit through Jurassic Park thinking 'You know what would be really hot?' Blargh! An eight-year-old and a dinosaur? That's just...I don't think I have the words to describe my horror.

Excellent job with the sporking.

I've been contemplating switching my name on here to DirtyCommie (Wiki) or WarriorJoe (LJ) just to cut down on the confusion. I didn't used to have a community in which all three sites came to at the same time, hence all the different names.

Well, the Gundam 00 one has quite a few fluff fics on there, which are kind of sweet. The only reason I don't take fluff prompts is my inability to write fluff.

I love Cal's overblown narration style, and pairing him with an agent random enough to be the basis for a cryptosystem is very nifty.

Topics get pushed further from the top with every new thread made and in some cases onto the next page. It makes it hard to catch up with, sometimes.
Also, dude, not to be pushy, but any chance you can slow down with the constant thread making? Since it's mostly question stuff or checking, it's totally fine to keep it in one thread; it just makes the board go faster and makes stuff like permission requests harder for the PGs to catch.
There's four alone from just you, but you're not the only person doing this, so don't feel like I'm calling out or whatever, I'm just pointing it out.

Two different screenames make it very hard to keep track of who's who. In any case, you need Bleeprin. Lots of it. Are you of age? If so, here's some Bleepka and Bleepuvian Ale. If not, I offer Bleeopolate. In either case, stock up.

Especially when there's one or two little issues that need to be sorted out; it's not polite to air everyone's problems on a public board. Private correspondance is better. But if you do find that your request has slipped off the page unanswered, then don't feel rejected. It's possible that no PG was around at the time or that they just didn't have time.
