Considering its about a group of college kids camping, Id say its all Campfire Food, like Smores and stuff, but maybe some Dinosaur Skull Cups or something. Anchor Steams because they come up as a joke (although Id have to BUY THE ANCHOR STEAM FACTORY to live that dream.

I would love it if @dropout.tv got the rights to my book "Oh F*ck! Dinosaurs!" and made a horror movie starring whoever they feel would fit these roles best among their crew. Honestly Brian David Gilbert pretty much IS Felix, Kimia Behpoornia would make an excellent Ellis.

Q1
I'm Dave Bruno, I write in Creature Features! Id say Jurassic Park and Cabin in the Woods. I've even heard some people call my book "Jurassic Cabin in the Woods." I will also take Evil Dead meets Jurassic Park, or as Kirkus puts it, "Snakes on a Plane meets Friday the 13th."

Here's my book, "Oh F*ck! Dinosaurs!:, a fun Creature Feature Horror novel. I originally drew the version on the right because I'm a artist, but I wanted something more painterly, so I hired @slimyswampghost.bsky.social for the art and @sarahjcoleman.bsky.social for the logo.

I think Azi was the funnest to write. They're just such a mess, and the sassy way they talk is really fun. Id say Bernard is "my avatar" in the book, he's my like... anchor I guess. And they may be wondering where they're royalty checks are. I have to SELL the book first guys!

QUESTION FOUR
There’s a knock at the door.
Before you can answer it, the door opens and reveals…your favourite character. They are your creation.
Who is visiting you?
Why are they your favourite?
And why are they here, now?

Legally obligated to say that my Dinosaur Horror Novel is inspired by Jurassic Park, should be a surprise to no one haha. Carnosaur, Dino Crisis and Resident Evil 1 specifically may ring a few neat bells though.

My weird tool is, if you have artistic talent, keep a sketchpad nearby. I've gotten out of a few Writers Block by switching my creative gears and sketching scenes I've outlined to just jostle the brain a bit and restore my mana.

QUESTION TWO
We stand before your writing area #HorrorWritersChat
Which three tools (apps? Items? objects?) do you find useful when writing?
Are there any you’d recommend to other writers?
The stranger the better...

so I made a cool design for Gym Shirts to work out in and I wanna sell that design online, but I'm having trouble finding a good website to do it. Anyone recommend anything for uploading custom art for athletic attire and selling it online?

I have an AI book reviewer trying to scam me and... yall... It just feels like being "creative for the internet" benefits everyone else except the artist at this point. I wrote a book, the Book Reviewers made more money off it than I have. AI scammers stole it and make money off remixing it.

Day 9 of #Artober is #DetectiveConan from #CaseClosed #Anime. I visited Japan earlier this year & a new DC movie came out so they were advertising it everywhere. I decided to give it a shot, watched it in Japanese w/ no Subtitles on Netflix, liked it and rewatched it w/ subtitles back in the states!
