After 25 years of operation, Nanowrimo is shutting down.
An email came out in the hours approaching April Fools
A video was attached to the email, which can be viewed here:
The video is on Kilby’s channel and not the long dead Nanowrimo channel. The video is full of…
Kilby logic, but there is some relevant information contained within.
If have anything on Nanowrimo you need to get off the site, take it now. The site will likely not be around for too much longer.
Despite everything that the organisation has been through, the closure of a 25 year old nonprofit is still a tragedy, and my heart goes out to everyone that’s grieving from this. Nano has hurt a lot of people, but it meant a lot to so many, and I will be sorry to see that go.
Even if I don’t agree with many things in the recent video, I can agree with the sentiment of one slide.
I will update you all if and when relevant information comes out. Despite everything, I now doubt that this will be my last post.
This is probably gonna be the most important memory in the whole story, so I’m gonna do my best to post at least two pages a week (or maybe even 3 if I can get the buffer built) since I really don’t want it to get dragged out for, like, 4 months. Next page is coming Thursday!

We are approaching the maximum of images you can post here so I thought it was time I make a little showcase of all the formation pieces we covered so far on the streams.
For people who don’t know: for several months now I draw one formation or fossil locality every Saturday. The next place we visit is chosen by a wheel of names, which we also constantly fill up again when a new formation is picked.
I try to make it as interesting as possible in my composition and choice of animals and I can tell you this series has been a great training when it comes to constructing these, how I call them, Menageries.
I have to thank a team of friends and colleagues who help behind the scenes with research, creation of size charts and conversation partners when it comes to deciding on the compositions of these pieces. Their help has been invaluable!
Can we get around the 30 image limit by reposting with a new image to the thread each week? We shall see. Mazon Creek now, Toolebuc formation this Saturday.
Adding Toolebuc formation
Adding the Cleveland Shale of the Ohio formation.
