The Reboot
Well it's been a while, hasn't it? Two years...two whole years since I revealed my plans to make Days Of Dikorus into a book series. Things have been pretty quiet on that publicly, but I think it's time to give a big and proper update.
For one, the "Book" isn't happening. Since my decision to rework DOD from the ground up I've come to realize that the setting isn't set up for a book. It just isn't. Books require a concise and focused plot; a beginning, middle, and end. DOD doesn't have that. I feel that DOD is more a place where stories can be told than a story in itself, an empty sandbox where I can exercise whatever kaiju-centric ideas I c
I have been keeping this under wraps for a good long while now, but I suppose now's as good a time as any to come clean. I'll try to keep this short.
I am in the early, early, EARLY stages of making Days Of Dikorus into a book series. Everything I've learned in the past ten years about world-building, character development, and story writing will finally come into use...for comparison, everything you've seen from me here on DA is but a trial run. Now I'm playing for real. If even half of what I have planned works out, it's gonna be amazing.

Thing is, I think it can be done.
Announcing: After The Impact by Gilarah93, journal
Announcing: After The Impact
The Titanomachy has forever changed our planet. Perhaps the greatest threat humanity has ever faced has been averted, but not without a heavy cost.
Kaiju that were once under human control now roam free, taking revenge against their former captors at every opportunity. The events of the Titanomachy have also awakened kaiju never before seen from their slumber beneath the planet’s crust, replacing those lost during the great conflict. Word about us spreads quickly among the kaiju…and not much of it is good. Worse yet, there are signs that the creatures we fought in the Titanomachy are still out there, and they have not given up
It’s been nine years now…can you believe it?
I’ve spent almost a decade bringing post-Cycle Earth to life, filling this lush, dangerous world with diverse characters, top-notch action, in-depth worldbuilding, and of course, some truly terrifying beasts and monsters. None of this would have been possible without the ongoing interest and support from you guys and girls (you know who you are!), and for that I cannot thank you all enough. Again, thank you!
See you when the dust settles, everyone. We are not done yet.

Pencils down, everyone! The DOD kaiju contest is over!
First off, I'd like to personally thank the people who entered the contest; I know it's hard to project honest emotion over the Interwebs, but believe me, I appreciate this. DOD wouldn't be nearly as fun for me to make if I could not share it with the world, and having a fanmade kaiju enter the roster is just one of the ways I've tried encouraging viewer involvement. Admittedly the turnout for the contest wasn't quite as high as I'd hoped for, but I understand people have school, work, their own personal projects, and/or other priorities in life; it's the same reason I myself don't enter
For years I’ve had only two “guest” kaiju in Days Of Dikorus: ~angenon58 (https://www.deviantart.com/angenon58)’s Razorr, and :iconRavensaurs-Rex:’s Kolrath. But now…there’s gonna be three.
That’s right, it’s time for a contest! For the first time in forever I am holding a contest for a kaiju in DOD, and everybody is invited! The prize will be one (1) illustration of one of the winner’s own kaiju characters, their choice as to who. Their entry will also become an official part of DOD canon, though I cannot guarantee how big a role in the overall story it will play. The winner will be announced in a Journal entry aft
This Journal is an introductory content guide for my personal kaijuverse, Days Of Dikorus. DOD is a work of world-building fiction that is focused on daikaiju, or “kaiju” for short.
Now, before going any further, please read the FAQ for basic information pertaining to the kaijuverse, and join the DOD group if you like. If you have any questions about Days Of Dikorus, or just want to talk, feel free to leave a comment or send me a note. Your support is greatly appreciated! :)
