And now for something completely different!
About the only thing I didn't like about Jurassic World is the fact that the film didn't explore the park that much; all the wonderful attractions are shoved off to the background in favor of plot points like the kids' parents divorcing and the ACU being slaughtered three days before their retirement (no I will not stop making that joke).
Claire mentioned that the park was and still is extremely popular and that dialogue left me thirsty for more world building; such statements as the fact that people were fascinated by the de-extinction process, that the park gains massive news coverage and "celebrity visitors" whenever they unveil a new attraction. It raised so many questions: What news channels cover it? Is CNN talking about them? Is Fox News making sensationalist news stories about how "science has doomed us all and Jurassic World is proof of it"? And which celebrities are visiting the park? Are they movie stars or musicians? Are they has beens who are desperate to stay relevant and jumping on the first thing they know will be popular? And what does the general public think? How do rival theme parks feel? Is PETA making distasteful and insulting commercials to try and claim that JW is abusing its dinosaurs? Will I ever let PETA live down their "Silent Scream" advertisement? The answer to that last one is no, no I won't.
So I have been fascinated by the idea of exploring the world and mechanics behind Jurassic World, so I decided to write this, which is supposed to be something like a reference guide to the park, similar to those behind the scenes books for movies (like, just as one example, "The Art of..." books).
A little twist to this one, however: It's actually an AU! Not majorly AU because it's mostly the same except for one little detail, which will be revealed in the "Dinosaurs" section...
