#substacks

Considering the rise of substacks (especially Dracula Daily) and the constant discovery of how some classical stories are so different in adaptions compared to it's original source there was one book (series) that came to my mind that is so entirely from it's adaptions. Jurassic Park. If you want the beautiful insanity (and genuine good sci-fi thriller!) that the original is then prepare yourself for Jurassic Park Daily! From rich bicycle twinks, MILFs, GILFs, bikers, baby-faced chaotic villains, homicidal maniacs to dinosaurs with unchecked vendetta and anger issues... we have everything! And especially dinosaurs! Gene manipulated ones even!

With Dracula we redeemed a bunch of characters from their adaptions perhaps with Jurassic Park we'll redeem the next!

How will Jurassic Park Daily work?

Well, quite different from the typical substacks. Unfortunately the book is copyrighted/not in public domain so we cannot mail them to you. However what we can do is provide you with sources to the books and we'll update you where we currently are in the book on this blog.

Which means:

We will probably read one sub chapter every day or two (still open to debate, poll is on the blog) to keep a steady pace to make it easy to follow how far we are into the book.

We will update everytime which one we are reading that day plus what the title of the next sub chapter is so that you do not miss it by accident.

We will read both books. Means we will also always post in which book we currently are. Note: The two books only loosely tie together meaning you can decide whether you want to read both books or only one of the two.

The starting date is not official yet but we hope to start in late june/early july depending on the chosen reading pace

The reading process will be a lot more independent and will be an attempt at a digital book club where everyone individually finds their best source. If this (a bit) unconvetional way is fine with you and you're interested in dinosaur chaos then join us on our journey through the Jurassic Park 🦕🦖

What can you do to help the project?

We have a few links and sources but if you have good ones feel free to share them with us!

Unlike some Shakespeare plays, Romeo and Juliet has very specific dating, to the point that we know approximately what time each scene takes place, and approximately on which day of the month each scene happens over the course of five days, thanks to knowing that, on the first day of the play we are "a fortnight and odd days" (1.3.17) from Lammastide---aka, Juliet's birthday, aka July 31.

Thus, I propose a substack. 1.1-2.2 will be sent on the first day, 2.3-3.4 on the second day, and so on. 

However, we have a little problem. Even if we choose a number between 14 and 21 days away from Lammastide, (I'm choosing 15, for reasons that will become clear) we still have the issue of the calendar shift. Specifically, when we changed from the Julian (used in Shakespeare's day) to Gregorian calendar, everything got moved by 13 days--so July 31 is now August 13.

So! We have two options: ignore the calendar shift, and go from July 16 to July 21 (which has the added benefit of the first day being a Sunday, same as in the play); or, account for the calendar shift, and go from July 29-August 3.
