《Gamer's Guide to Waking up as a Dinosaur》Preface- The World Revisited
Advertisement
Hey all, thanks for checking out Gamer's Guide to Waking up as a Dinosaur! Those of you who are new to the story, thanks for visiting, and I'll clarify some stuff further down. I took a long break from RoyalRoad due to IRL issues, and am now going to be reposting Gamer's Guide, in its refined glory. I am deeply in love with this story and with these characters, and I hope you all feel the same.
Some chapters will be the same. Many will be similar. But there is a point in the story where things begin to diverge from the original storyline, and I will post an asterisk (*) next to any chapters that are new, or have been sufficiently modified. (This is no longer the case because there were so many new chapters.)
During my break, I did some writing of another story I'm very excited about and hope to eventually post to Kindle Unlimited. My Patrons will be allowed to read chapters of this story once I feel comfortable with and confident in the content.
Thank you all for your patience, and I'm happy to present the new-and-improved Gamer's Guide!
General summary of the previous rewrite announcement below:
I was uncomfortable with the previous quality of the story, as well as how I'd portrayed instances and characters I very much enjoyed. To that end, I decided to do a partial rewrite of Gamer's Guide. To the fans, this means that the story will change, but the overall narrative will remain the same. To those who are new, this hopefully means that an exciting new story, which has been deeply thought out and planned is coming to the site.
If you can't wait for more story, and would like to read the original, or even if you're just curious, you can find that version under my fictions.

Dip$h!+s in Space
An eccentric comedy novel (that thinks it's a TV show) about space, and the Dipsh!+s that end up stranded in it. This hyper-self-aware comedy of stupid proportions, centers around Captain William T Lawg (no relation) and his adventures as a guy who managed to afford a refitted soft-top ice-cream truck, in space. Explore the universe with his trusty crew of valiant randos. Marley, the tech-bro, stoner spacebunny, who just wants to get away from his home world and the bullies it harbors. Duffy, the plump and sassy female mechanic, who has had every job in existence totaling far more years than possible. Roy, the frigging fabulous, flamboyant android, and former spy…or possibly current spy. (dun dun, daaaa!) And lastly, but certainly leastly, that other chick the captain keeps trying to bang. Ride with the crew of the notorious Tast-E-Chill, to a world of wonder that a lot of other space travelers have already been before, but probably not Lawg, so it's still exciting. This satirical joke on itself and every sci-fi trope ever to exist, will be sure to either thrill you or disappoint you, because COMEDY…IS…SUBJECTIVE! With a crew of 3-10 and an IQ of also probably 3-10, The captain putters along to uncharted lands, where history, loot, drama, innuendos of the sexual verity, and various Technicolor hoes shall surely be waiting, usually with some form of trap. Each season brings new and interesting crewmen, like: Menace: the adorable genderless frog-child-thing with the heart of gold and the dialogue vocabulary of a slightly trained parrot. Greg: the 8 foot tall, ancient, thermonuclear, semi-retired alien overlord who just wants to prove he still has a purpose…and also to rule the galaxy. Izzy: a 3rd generation, age-reversed reboot, accidental clone of her own mother/sister/older self, who happens to be Greg's daughter-in-law…and much, much more. Prepare yourself for shallow adventure, moderately-to high offensive dialogue, and overwhelmingly childish scenarios. Tag along as the crew battles, fierce enemies, lack of food and survival tape, and occasionally their own incompetence. Teen Romance, current politics, subtlety, dignity, this sucker has none of those, and it darn well knows it. Raise the sails and grab the rails as a bunch of dipsh!+s find themselves...IN SPACE. (Roll dramatic tapering credits, to royalty free trumpet music)
