My entry for the Shaggy Dog theme of JamCon 2019!
It's should and whatever else it is! Thanks to MaliceAF, AbsentmindedNihilist, PopcornK, LordofLaugh, not_a_seagull, elogee and ch00bakka for reading the draft.
I always joke that most of my ideas come from throw away jokes or one-liners said in chat. This time I had the wherewithal to actually save the logs! So, behold my incredible process! (Thanks to Malice for brainstorming this one out with me!)
[11:52:07] <Mortos> idea: its like a huge dog
[11:52:09] <Mortos> like, huge
[11:52:13] <Mortos> like 600m tall
[11:52:30] <Mortos> also it lives on the moon
[11:52:42] <MaliceAF> sounds pretty compelling ngl
[11:52:46] <MaliceAF> gotta love a tall doggo
[11:52:58] <MaliceAF> although
[11:53:01] <MaliceAF> .s very tall things
[11:53:02] <Secretary_Helen> MaliceAF: SCP-2256: Very Tall Things (Rating: +411. Written 3 years ago By: qntm) - http://scp-wiki.net/scp-2256
[11:53:13] <Mortos> those things are way taller than 600m
[11:53:27] <Mortos> im still sad I havent managed to write a working article that uses "gigafauna"
[11:54:04] <MaliceAF> same
[11:54:15] <Mortos> maybe i'll do it right now
[11:54:17] <Mortos> dog is > 1km tall
[11:54:20] <Mortos> problem solved
[11:54:28] <Mortos> moon dog, 1km tall
[11:54:34] <Mortos> does uh, other things that somehow make it interesting
[11:54:35] <MaliceAF> Mortos: it grows taller due to reduced gravity, obviously
[11:54:41] <Mortos> well OBVIOUSLY
[11:55:01] <Mortos> theres 2 of them
[11:55:04] <Mortos> one on the moon and one in space
[11:55:10] <Mortos> the one in space is huge because of no gravity
[11:55:13] <Mortos> has its own moons
[11:55:15] <Mortos> DOG MOONS
