A world I've thought about for a story is a sort of "Realistic Hell". However, to the people of the world, Hell is called Gryx (pronounced Gricks). Rather than being a sea of fire and lava, Gryx is a planet orbiting a red dwarf. Through some reasons, probably wormholes, Earth organisms ended up on Gryx, including Humans.
Because the planet orbits so close to its parent star, it is tidally locked. Due to this, many organisms are cathemeral. Some organisms I'm thinking of are supposed to be realistic demons from different sources and mythologies, such as the Ars Goetia. Some of the animals inhabiting Gryx are endothermic temnospondyls, terrestrial placoderms, terrestial flying acanthodians, vertebrate-like nudibranchs, and woolly Indricotheres among others.
Not sure I'm gonna go through with this, though

It depends on how well you can pull it off. Terrestrial placoderms and flying land-acanthodians seem a little hard to justify, but not impossible.

Onychophora (might also remove out of fear of them turning into new arthropods)
Trust me, they have such a different anatomy they're more likely to become the new gastropods and the new arthropods. Their primitive water-control and breathing mechanisms mean that although they'll have an initial advantage over other groups, the speed of competition means they're unlikely to evolve a chitinous exoskeleton suitable for large size or dry environments before another Panarthropod group does. I'd suggest you set this on some kind of static exoplanet, that can live longer than Earth. You're going to need a lot of time to allow many of these groups to evolve beyond their microscopic or basal forms. But arthropods come from very velvet worm like ancestors that once had the same anatomical limitations. And, keep in mind, that happened in an environment with competition from other big players like chordates, mollusks, and annelids. Now that these are all absent, this could possible happen sooner than it did on Earth. The only reason I'm not worried about tardigrades is because of their eulety.

Projects Punga: A terraformed world with no vertebrates Last one crawling: The last arthropod
ARTH-6810: A world without vertebrates (It's ded, but you can still read I guess)
Potential ideas- Swamp world: A world covered in lakes, with the largest being caspian sized. Nematozoic: After a mass extinction of ultimate proportions, a single species of nematode is the only surviving animal. Tri-devonian: A devonian like ecosystem with holocene species on three different continents.
Quotes "Arthropod respiratory systems aren't really "inefficient", they're just better suited to their body size. It would be quite inefficient for a tiny creature that can easily get all the oxygen it needs through passive diffusion to have a respiratory system that wastes energy on muscles that pump air into sacs. (Hence why lungless salamanders, uniquely miniscule and hyperabundant tetrapods, have ditched their lungs in favor of breathing with their skin and buccal mucous membranes.) But large, active insects already use muscles to pump air in and out of their spiracles, and I don't see why their tracheae couldn't develop pseudo- lungs if other conditions pressured them to grow larger."-HangingTheif
"Considering the lifespans of modern non- insect arthropods (decade-old old millipedes, 50 year old tarantulas, 100+ year old lobsters) I wouldn't be surprised if Arthropleura had a lifespan exceeding that of a large testudine"-HangingTheif
"Humans have a tribal mindset and it's not alien for tribes to war on each other. I mean, look at the atrocities chimpanzee tribes do to each other. Most of people's groupings and big conflicts in history are directly or obliquely manifestations of this tribal mindset."-Sceynyos-yis
"He's the leader of the bunch You know his Coconut Gun is finally back to fire in spurts. His Coconut Gun Can make you smile If he shoots ya it's firing in spurts. His Coconut Gun Is bigger, faster, stronger too! He's the gun member of the Coconut Crew! HUH!

Now that I think about it, flying acanthodians do seem kind of far-fetched. My concept for them was that acanthodians become terrestrial, tetrapod-style, their cartilaginous skeleton becoming ossified, and then millions of years later develop powered flight (they'd look most similar to early pterosaurs.)

I'm working on a concept for a lost world scenario where an island broke off from Europe in the Kimmeridgian age of the Jurassic period. It drifted into the Tethys sea and then down in between Africa and South America in the Cenozoic era. I've drafted the first stages of the map and where it would be located, as well as planning out multiple species that would be found throughout the island. I'm giving it a bit of storytelling from the perspective of a late Victorian exploring scientist who first discovered the island and its endemic fauna and flora. I've been collaborating with Uncanny Gemstar for a short while, and he plans to help me with my first project. A few groups that will have descendants on the island include: Stegosaurs, basal Tyrannosaurs, basal Iguanodonts, Megalosaurs, multituberculates, (possibly) Sparassodonts, and basal Marginocephalia. We will also have more modern groups that joined later such as Sirenians, Chiropterans, Pinnipeds, Salmonoids, and modern Avians. Tell me your thoughts and opinions (and the blaring, completely obvious things that make this project impossible that I missed with my limited scientific knowledge.) and what you think I should do. Thank you. sounds like it'll be a very crowded place.

(whales evolved from things that could have evolved into fast-running plains beasts...but that option isn't there for whales now)

An pastiche of Serina-clones, where instead of an earth species, it is a species of volant alien native to an entirely different planet. They are specifically introduced to a terraformed Mars instead of some fictional planet.

I've had an idea for an Alternate Universes project set in a hyperbolic space.
The planet would be a horosphere (which I'm pretty sure has finite gravity). The surface would be Euclidean, but creatures which burrowed along straight lines to get from place to place would be able to cover vast surface distances with very little relative effort, giving burrowers a huge advantage and crippling the traveling capabilities of fliers. (Similarly, plants which spread via stolons would have a massive advantage over those which used seed dispersal.) Sufficiently big creatures would run into the problem that, whenever they tried to move, they would feel a lot of tugging forces caused by the lines the various parts of their body were traveling on diverging. The extent of all these factors would depend on the fundamental length of the space.
Alternatively, the planet could be the complement of a horosphere, which would also have finite gravity, but provide a reversed situation, with fliers being able to cover immense distances in almost no time at all, and burrowers traveling along very inefficient paths. In this world, you could have immense cave systems/burrowing space, as the amount of available space increases exponentially as you go deeper. Similarly, seed dispersal could allow plants to spread for immense surface distances.
Alternatively, there could be a spherical planet, which is likely more realistic (and can be extremely close to the horospherical case, while still being finite, which may be desirable.) The complement of a sphere would not have such a realism advantage, though it could act as a bounded version of the complement of a horosphere.
Or, the planet could be a plane, meaning that the surface would appear hyperbolic, allowing life unimaginably vast area to spread out over (the amount of area within a given distance grows exponentially with distance, in the literal sense of the word.) Not sure how gravity would be handled, though. An equidistant surface would display similar behavior, but with a bias towards burrowing or flying.

About Me I will often say things that are irrelevant, jar the ongoing discussion, seem rude, or are just plain wrong. I'm not good at integrating into communities. I don't do well in many text-based situations due to the speed and the fact that I like to quintuple check what I write. I like to quintuple check everything and often refrain from saying things due to worry. I like eating lemons whole (except the peel).

I kinda though up of this on-the-spot, so it's probably poorly thought out and outlandish. 
Thousands of years ago, in the time of, say, the Sumerians or Egyptians, a highly advanced alien species came to Earth. They did some things like contacting humans before leaving for another planet. The catch?
The visitors left some of the fauna from their planet on Earth. Despite the odds of living on a completely foreign planet, the alien animals managed to adapt to the conditions of Earth. In the process, they've wreaked havoc on ecosystems across the globe. But, after some time, things would settle down, and eventually the aliens would find their place in Earth's ecosystems. This project would detail these invaders: Their appearance, diet, habitat, and maybe what to do if you encounter them. Some of them may even be the inspiration for many mythological creatures and cryptids...

I've had this idea about a sort of botched terraforming where all of the non human organisms would be born, raised, and released a long time before the humans, but something goes wrong, and almost all arthropods and vertebrates were destroyed before they could be born. After a much longer time than intended the humans finally wake up on their new home (haven't decided how long yet) to find a completely different world than intended. Nemerteans, Polychaetes, echinoderms, and lancelets became the dominant animals on this swampy world (another flaw of the broken terraforming ship). The humans exit the ship to find it wreathed in banners and a small temple near by. They meet their new neighbors, extremely derived sapient starfish with early metalworking
The sapient star fish have massive storage cells for their hydraulic fluid and have become more active. they have a single complex eye ringed by ocelli with a foldable tip that works like an eyelid on the end of each arm and their tube feet have become much longer and rigid and jointed holding them high up off of the ground. the evertable stomachs of their ancestors have become a sort of evertable mouth with five tusks for display and killing, with much smaller teeth for chewing and ripping. they are primarily carnivores but can digest limited amounts of plant matter.
the apex predators of the swamp plains surrounding are a group of large, pack hunting nemerteans that pull themselves along with their proboscis called Worfs (worm-wolf) that's all I got so far though

A world I've thought about for a story is a sort of "Realistic Hell". However, to the people of the world, Hell is called Gryx (pronounced Gricks). Rather than being a sea of fire and lava, Gryx is a planet orbiting a red dwarf. Through some reasons, probably wormholes, Earth organisms ended up on Gryx, including Humans.
Because the planet orbits so close to its parent star, it is tidally locked. Due to this, many organisms are cathemeral. Some organisms I'm thinking of are supposed to be realistic demons from different sources and mythologies, such as the Ars Goetia. Some of the animals inhabiting Gryx are endothermic temnospondyls, terrestrial placoderms, terrestial flying acanthodians, vertebrate-like nudibranchs, and woolly Indricotheres among others.
Not sure I'm gonna go through with this, though I could help you with that - I've got a similar project in the works.

Quotes
Spoiler: click to toggle OctoSharkTaSaurus: WELP. HELL-O-PHANTS IT IS. Kamineigh: I was six and I had started having fantasies about this old crone dying. Sometimes by my own hand. YOU'RE DOING SOMETHING HORRIBLY WRONG IF A SIX-YEAR OLD WANTS TO KILL YOU WITH THE SAME HANDS HE JUST USED TO MAKE A BLOCK TOWER. Parasky: No, he's right, they have a medical grade walrus at most hospitals for that sort of thing. Mr Mysterio, regarding yours truly: I'm learning things about you that I'm not sure I wanted to know. HangingThief: An otologist is only as good as his walrus Stealth_Rock: We have a discord for double penetration? Ichthyander: If your eyelids are massive enough to significantly affect the path of light in space, it is time to go sleep. Mr Mysterio: Glarn-Glarn, don't... don't fuck the cave baboons. Kamineigh: They lacked wings. Instead, they went around in modified pilot's gear and beat the shit out of people using maces. Parasky: No! We will not calm down! This is a serious argument over whether or not some long dead animal is in any way similar to a group of modern animals that they are descended from! THIS. IS. SEWIOUS. Lamna: Obvious typo, I'm never going to be popular in Belgium. Trex841: Interesting point. Valid counterpoint. Self-obsessed psychotic rant. Parasky: No ties. Begin genetically modifying crows until we have organisms that roughly resemble those in the competition, and then have them fight to the death to see who wins this competition. Alternatively, Cephalian and SabrWolf could fight to the death. But at the end of the day something will be fighting to the death for my amusement to determine the winner. Yellowdrakex: Is it alright to have an irrational fear of gliding snakes? They're snakes. FROM ABOVE. Kamineigh: See, you wouldn't be in this mess if you began a bloody revolution every time your leaders showed to unsatisfactory. Zihuatanejo: Somewhere in heaven, a very groggy, very confused angel has just woken up and is trying to figure out why a boisterous Australian man is poking it with a stick. Komodo: I'm sorry but in what alternative universe would thousands of zebras be sent back in time by some sort of illegal time travel group to change history and preparing them by making gigantic working animatronic allosaurs? Seriously, why? Parasky: Maybe y'all should move to America, where you can flex your freedom muscles. Sir Spookums: It's a game about children catching super powered monsters, stuffing them in tiny balls, and battling other strangers' monsters. What about that makes sense in regards to anything, mister Kam? Des Orages: Yi qi. Just when you think you've seen it all, nature screws us over once more. Kaminiegh: This is clearly an inaccurate statement. I'd never challenge the authority of an admin... Unless Paraksytron stubbed his toe and fell over. THEN I, STARSCREIGHM, WILL BECOME THE NEW LEADER OF OF THE DE-SPECU-CONS! Dragon: Is normal a good word to use for describing any of us? Velociraptor: I once dreamed I was trying to steal a flamingo. The flamingo was oddly calm about the whole situation. Kaminiegh: THAT'S IT, I'M KINKSHAMING. Flashman63: In its 4,600 year history, men from all eras, places and classes have been entering into the Library: from the ancient bearded sages of Sumeria and Chaldea, to the sober-minded Academics and Zoologists of the Victorian era, to the great warlord Cletus, an inbred hillbilly who just happened to be carrying his AR-15 around his County's Strip-Mall library. OctoSharktasaurus: Well, uh, it's a pseudo-tripedal, terrestrial subcontinental Madagascan Beaked Whale... Is that not obvious? It literally says it blatantly. Holben: Did you not add lamb's blood to your fruit juice and the crushed bones of an englishman to your salsa? It's not authentic if you don't. Kaminiegh: Shut up, Hybrid, stop ruining my chances of time-travelling and getting some Neanderthal tail! Mr Mysterio: Except maybe Canada. If ever there was a country that was hiding secret reserves of powerful alien technology, it's probably mine. HangingThief: If you answered mainly "yes," you are most likely a salamander. Unfortunately it is becoming harder and harder to tell these days. Monster: In vaguely related news, I've developed a fear of my sewing machine. WHAT ARE YOU STRANGE NEEDLEBEAST Mynxi: He sowed the seed, I merely pissed on it and saw what grew. Beetleboy: The moral of the story: never trust a catfish. Parasky: Speaking of original, note to self: write erotic classical Chinese literature fan fiction Bromance of the Three Kingdoms under pseudonym Tuck Chingle. Little: Starting playing DND, took all of an hour of gameplay until a yuri love-triangle was initiated. And no, it was not my fault. Corecin: If this is your first time with a lesbian love triangle in a DnD game than you don't even have to specify that you're starting out. Octo: Oh no now Little will enlighten with the deep and complex subject that is hentai lore. Beetleboy: It shows what kind of person I am that I'm seeking crush advice on a forum about creating fictional organisms. Corecin: I am not in the mood for looking up yuri because then the FBI agent monitoring my computer will judge me with reckless abandon. Blue_Komrade: Excuse me sir I am going to have to see if you have your membership card to the Misanthrope Club. Parasky: Ultimately, by the miracle of microbiology and biochemistry, I have accidentally added an additional month to my brew and created a Bavarian style hefeweizen rather than the American style wheat beer I planned, despite technically not having the correct ingredients. However because I wrote down what I did wrong its not a mistake it's actually science. Rebirth: I can't be the only one curious about what would happen if you spayed and neutered a male antechinus before it reached sexual maturity. Ebervalius: Laws? What kind of spooky cuckery is that? Parasky: Ah see, but that's just the thing, you thought that I thought that you thought that I had said you hadn't read it, when really I had said that you had said that you thought that I thought that you hadn't read it. So really it's Flisch's fault.

I could help you with that - I've got a similar project in the works. Oh? That would be great!
In other news, I've also had this idea since I first got into paleontology back in 2013: A lost continent out in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, or maybe in a separate universe. This continent is inhabited by Permian and Triassic animals, for example gorgonopsids, cynodonts, therocephalians (which are the dominant tetrapods), early archosaurs and rhyncosaurs. How they haven't changed in over 250 or so million years, I have no idea.
A similar idea I have is a world where Florida became separated from other continents, essentially becoming the Madagascar of the Atlantic. This idea's a HUGE WIP, though.

Somewhere west of the great deserts and north of Antipodia lies a land like no other. Tales of such creatures in those lands have passed from generation to generation fading into myth. But in those thick jungles islands and frozen tundras, there are beasts like no other with claws like tusks and fangs dripping their horrible venom. Things so horrible, mankind itself cannot comprehend the minds lurking beneath those eyes. Let us take a Journey to the East and see what awaits.
So yeah, this is my first project idea or journey to the east. It's basically about making stuff like the kappa, Chinese dragons, and Indonesian vampire demons realistic. Please give me some advice for my writing as well.

- So what happened to you this year?
-
I have a story idea. I probably wont carry on, at least not anytime soon because I am shit at story telling and character development. But, I think it's worth sharing nontheless. If you want to carry on with it, be my guest.
It's called "The Basement".
The main characters are two kids. It starts out as normal kid life stuff with school yada yada yada. Then, the one of the kids visits the other's house, because they are friends. It starts out normal, playing video games, eating stuff, etc. But then, the host kids shows the guest kid his basement. It's a cool, if slightly strange one. There is several shelves with an assortment of items new and old. At the end of the room is a wall of boxes. But here's where the fun starts. There is no wall behind the boxes.
The host kid pushes the boxes out of the way, revealing a vast world he calls "the basement". It has an orange polluted sky with no clouds, and stacks of boxes as far as the eye can see. It turns out, the kid discovered the basement 5 years ago and has been exploring it ever since. Since most (but not all) of the boxes are taped closed, he carries a box cutter to open them. They go exploring the basement, carried away in fascination until they realized the strayed to far from the entrance and are now lost. The story follows them trying to get back.
Here's a little information about the basement.
It's origin is completely unknown, as is what the end of it looks like, if there is an end. The scenery described above is all that there is. If other scenery exists, it must be very far away from the entrance. The boxes are all plain cardboard boxes, most of which sealed with duck tape. The stacks of the boxes themselves vary in size, as do the boxes themselves. The boxes come in every size they do in real life. Though, on rare occasions, an exceptionally large or small one may be found. The content of the boxes also vary. Usually, it's a random assortment of familiar objects. Sometimes it's a specific set, or just multiple of the same item. Sometimes, boxes are empty. Though modern day objects are most common, the boxes can contain items from all eras in human history, from 80's soda bottles to early stone tools. It can even contain strange, alien objects never invented or conceived by humans in all their known history. Food items, while not rare, aren't terrible common. They are usually things like water bottles of chip bags. No weather is present, nor is there any bodies of water. The only things known to lives in the basement are bacteria, mold, house geckos, and a couple dozen arthropod species. Y'know, stuff that lives in basements.
What do you think of this?

Projects Punga: A terraformed world with no vertebrates Last one crawling: The last arthropod
ARTH-6810: A world without vertebrates (It's ded, but you can still read I guess)
Potential ideas- Swamp world: A world covered in lakes, with the largest being caspian sized. Nematozoic: After a mass extinction of ultimate proportions, a single species of nematode is the only surviving animal. Tri-devonian: A devonian like ecosystem with holocene species on three different continents.
Quotes "Arthropod respiratory systems aren't really "inefficient", they're just better suited to their body size. It would be quite inefficient for a tiny creature that can easily get all the oxygen it needs through passive diffusion to have a respiratory system that wastes energy on muscles that pump air into sacs. (Hence why lungless salamanders, uniquely miniscule and hyperabundant tetrapods, have ditched their lungs in favor of breathing with their skin and buccal mucous membranes.) But large, active insects already use muscles to pump air in and out of their spiracles, and I don't see why their tracheae couldn't develop pseudo- lungs if other conditions pressured them to grow larger."-HangingTheif
"Considering the lifespans of modern non- insect arthropods (decade-old old millipedes, 50 year old tarantulas, 100+ year old lobsters) I wouldn't be surprised if Arthropleura had a lifespan exceeding that of a large testudine"-HangingTheif
"Humans have a tribal mindset and it's not alien for tribes to war on each other. I mean, look at the atrocities chimpanzee tribes do to each other. Most of people's groupings and big conflicts in history are directly or obliquely manifestations of this tribal mindset."-Sceynyos-yis
"He's the leader of the bunch You know his Coconut Gun is finally back to fire in spurts. His Coconut Gun Can make you smile If he shoots ya it's firing in spurts. His Coconut Gun Is bigger, faster, stronger too! He's the gun member of the Coconut Crew! HUH!
C.G.! Coconut Gun! C.G.! Co-Coconut Gun! Shoot yourself with a Coconut Gun! HUH!"-Kamineigh
"RIP, rest in Peytoia."-Little
"In Summary: Piss on Lovecraft's racist grave by making lewds of Cthulhu and Nyarlathotep.
Then eat arby's and embrace the void."-Kamineigh
