That's right. I've been meaning to (and subsequently forgetting to) keep updating the Creature of the Week list. So, I present to you the first one in ages here. With only one more to go before our prehistoric alphabet is complete, I propose a question to you, the users of the forum, how would you guys like to take over?…

Ie: have one forum user every week (give or take) write a piece about one of their most cherished prehistoric creatures which will be then added to the master list and tagged accordingly for all to enjoy. I'm not sure exactly how it will work, so throw ideas around if you want. We don't necessarily have to go in alphabetical order (as once the next creature is up we will have a full A-Z anyway).

It's Marco's turn for Z.... however he's fairly busy these days. We were considering handing it over to the fans once we completed the alphabet. Say Adam, how would you like to finish off the series with Z? (something nice n' obscure)

So as far as the continuing format goes, now that we've done the whole alphabet, I was thinking of starting from A again. Only this time people post (or PM me~) to reserve letters that they would like to a creature for.
In that respect, I want to reserve A and C :P

Let me know what letter you want to have a beastie off and I will make a stab at it. (But fer gawds sake don't expect too much, I think I will be rubbish at it.)

Ah no. You've another week to decide what you want to do. I had one in mind but I'm gonna be mad busy next week. Having other people do it freshens things up anyway.
