Speculative biology is simultaneously a science and form of art in which one speculates on the possibilities of life and evolution. What could the world look like if dinosaurs had never gone extinct? What could alien lifeforms look like? What kinds of plants and animals might exist in the far future? These questions and more are tackled by speculative biologists, and the Speculative Evolution welcomes all relevant ideas, inquiries, and world-building projects alike. With a member base comprising users from across the world, our community is the largest and longest-running place of gathering for speculative biologists on the web.

While unregistered users are able to browse the forum on a basic level, registering an account provides additional forum access not visible to guests as well as the ability to join in discussions and contribute yourself! Registration is free and instantaneous.

Alright, so we've got a name and definite interest in this. I'm a bit busy at the moment, however; would anyone be interested in directly working with me on this?

Sorry but I don't have enough imagination for that.
On a different note, another topic idea could be a "perfect planet" that seems perfect at first glance but when you look closer despite the megafauna all being herbivorous there are billions of parasites on and in them.
Could be another way of regulating population instead of the classic predator prey relationship.

I could give you a hand if you need it, the premise seems quite interesting.

BREAKING NEWS
We interrupt your regular programming to bring you this cutting edge report.
ATTENDANCE DROPS DRASTICALLY ON SE SERVER
This past Monday on Discord, famous server Speculative Evolution took a hit in the attendance office when it's offline member list suddenly reappeared. Mods scrambled to rectify the situation, but unfortunately there was little anyone could do. Server member Ivan was asked what he thought of the situation. "So long as Flisch, lord of machines and scion of Urborg lives, all will be well". SE, (in)famous for it's eccentric userbase, has recently been spiraling downward, and now we have hard conformation of the decline. Moderator "High Lord" Icthyander states "There is nothing to be concerned about, Discord is merely changing its UI again", but members are beginning to suspect the honesty of their staff.
Stay tuned, we'll be back with more at 11.

What do you mean by "direct"?

A comprehensive list of all organisms, artifacts, and alternative worlds encountered by the foundation team.

At the present time, concepts within are inconsistent and ever shifting.

Essentially, helping to write up the posts that set the ground rules for the project.

I could help too, i like the idea!
~~~
I'm currently working on two-ish projects other than Amammalia. One, Oceanus, will hit the forums soon once i have the mechanics worked out more. The other is a No K-Pg scenario that will be the setting for my NaNoWriMo writing :D
I do art sometimes.

"if you want green eat a salad"

Projects:
Amammalia: A strange place where mammals didn't make it and the land is, once again, dominated by archosaurs.

Oceanus: An endless sea dotted with islands, reefs, and black holes. Literally endless, literal black holes.

I'd be willing to help out. I don't know a whole lot about farming, but I'll give it my best shot.

I'm loving the trend of spec projects having literally endless, surreal environments as their settings. Almost makes me feel like a sort of shared universe (multiverse?) thing should be set up.
Dumb Quotes


Coming Soon/To be Rebooted:

How To Hunt Gods - Everything you need to know about Gods and the art of God-killing.

Intrazoology - The world of semi-corporeal lifeforms. A world you walk through every day, without even knowing it.

The Dungeonverse - Magical creatures forced to adapt in huge, underground caverns, while surface-dwelling humans go dungeoneering for treasure.

Crossover - A mish-mash of worlds, with Earth smack in the middle of the chaos. What could go wrong?

no worries

As wonderful as that would be the projects have so many creatures in them it would be too complex.

Complex can be good. Just look at the Library: to list every single species that's been made up for it would be exhausting at this point. When I said "shared multiverse", I was mainly thinking in terms of there being some sort of meta-story about inter-dimensional beings so powerful that they can just create entire endless planes of existence, and then leave said planes of existence to rot (or grow and evolve new forms of life, as the case may be).
There could even be hints that our own universe, itself an endless plane of mostly empty space, was created by these beings. That'd be pretty neat, in my opinion.

I'd certainly be able to help out in this. Granted, between that, school, The Library, my projects, it'll be less than what I do in The Library. After all, I was always more book-smart than life-smart.
