Northwyrm's website

Hello I am Northwyrm and this is my Neocities page! I am working on making it look presentable, please bear with me!

Website Plans

  • Write content for the pseudosuchian part of the website: possibly focus on metriorhynchoids first as I know most about them
  • make cute buttons and logos for site?
  • Once I have a few pages, make mobile versions of the pages so the website is still usable on mobile
  • This was last updated in March 2024

About My Informational Projects

Psuedosuchia

Pseudosuchians include crocodiles and all their relatives, extinct and extant. They were a huge group of animals during the Mesozoic, but are often overshadowed by their more popular archosaur cousins, the pterosaurs and dinosaurs. There aren't many websites dedicated to fun pseudosuchian facts, so I thought I would take a crack at making one!

About My Creative Projects

Dracones Mundi

'Dracones Mundi' means 'dragons of the world', and that's exactly what this project aims to deliver: a field guide to dragons of the world, so anyone can look up fun facts about local folklore and ecology. This aims to be a spiritual successor to Dugald Steers Dragonology books or William O'Connor's Dracopedia series, but with more scientific insight (as I have studied palaeontology - these dragons are based on pseudoschians because pseudosuchians are my favourite animals) and my own take on mythology and folklore. I have been working on this project for years, hopefully it will be my magnum opus, a very beautiful and cool dragon book!

Bloodmood

Bloodmood is an enormously fun writing project - the length of a novel (over 100k words!) and my main 'story' (as Dracones Mundi is a field guide and my other writing projects are embryonic right now). The story follows a misanthropic evil scientist who had to quit her evil science job after recieving a vampire bite from one of the undead nosferatus in her care. Her work starts to follow her home, however, as monsters escape from the secret underground lab. The scientist is hastily re-hired by a fairy working for the same Institute, and they team up with a secret agent and one of the vampires to re-capture the monsters. Bloodmood is a story with werewolves, unicorns, mermaids, demons, goblins, giant woodlice named 'Rhoomba' and science fiction telepathy gadgets. A little silly and a little gory. :)
