episode 3: Writing Excuses 7.3: Fauna and Flora


Animals and plants, round two! We begin this episode with examples where we think people did their flora and fauna wrong, or poorly, or at least in ways we can poke easy holes in. Our examples include:

* Pitch Black
* Twilight
* Avatar
* And then we get tired of negative examples, and talk about The Mote in God's Eye.

We then attempt to brainstorm some flora and fauna on our world of mutagenic meteor dust. Pizza-trees, armored buffalo, fire-dandelions, and more... and that's before we even get started populating the coast, and Brandon calls can-of-worms on the project and hands the brainstorming to you, the listener.
