July Pico, Day 24

Folks, have you realized that we only have a week left from this years double session? Where has the time gone?

Anyway, here is the daily post for your progress report, snippets and thoughts. May the magic be with us all!

And just in case it's too hot in your corner of the world:

Oh dear... I realised (round about word 1200!! When I thought it was finished) that the Chris and Radek dialogue was based on an idea that is awfully close to that Stargate story (the Rodney-Radek-Daniel one)... after fretting for several hours I though "I don't care, I'm leaving it!!!" and added another couple of hundred words and a dinosaur at the end :)

"Oh," Radek says, staring up, up and up, straight into the eyes of a creature that has not even been discovered in the time they have just left, but which he at least knows way more about than he does American gunslingers, and not just from repeats of bad science fiction, "this is not just bad, this is not just very very very bad. This is the worst."

The massive, flatly reptilian eyes of a duckbilled dinosaur - a dinosaur!!!! - seemed to him to agree.

Glad to see the dinosaur comes back. I'm sure he's equally dismayed by the site of the most destructive species on the planet!

Unfortunately the dinosaur I picked is one of the... not very bright one...

Oh, dear! Poor Radek! As if American gunslingers weren't bad enough, now he has to deal with flying dinosaurs, too?
I wonder though what he'd think about Torchwood's chocolate-addicted, time-displaced pterodactyl, Myfanwy. *g*

And now I'll have to look up in the dictionary what 'duckbilled' means. *sigh*
I'll never learn this language properly.

I checked what dinosaurs were in the area during the Jurassic... duckilled dinosaurs (http://ayay.co.uk/background/dinosaurs/herbivore/duckbilled-dinosaurs-2/) (proper name hadrosaurs) were among them, see the pictures for why they are called that :)
