Thanks for your vote for Writer of the dreary, very appreciated. I didn't really expect to win, and it may be starting to sink in now. I had no idea you liked the stuff I do, so that too is humbling. Thanks very much, mucho, and all those descriptive things. We shall meet on the electronic byways soon again. Aleister 1:08 2-1-'11
Thanks for your UnNews! I have added a link to LONDON in the dateline, made the Sources serious (they are a service to your reader to tell him what really happened), and made the headline shorter, as shown above.
Normally you don't go for a Pee Review for an UnNews. This is a "drive-by" medium; we write and then move on to tomorrow's news. But I'll give you my opinion (minus the numerical grades of a real Pee Review).
You write well and your article hangs together well.
It opens like an UnNews Column or Editorial rather than a news piece. Making it look like news would require that you quickly tell us what happened rather than give us a paragraph of background. That's just a quibble.
It is well-spotted to find two recent news pieces about coming apocalypses and tie them together. Your thesis is that, well, all Hell is going to break loose, and you develop this in random directions describing all Hell breaking loose. That's entertaining; for extra credit, though, you could have related these upcoming events to something in real life that suggests that all Hell is breaking loose. The article gets fanciful and random--which is still entertaining, but veers away from relation to news.
The final paragraph ("Perhaps...") is really noncommittal for a story about imminent apocalypse.
Thanks again for contributing. Spıke¬ 00:55 22-Feb-11
PS--The photo caption, I found so random as to make me think, "This must be an article about nothing." Spıke¬ 00:57 22-Feb-11

I've decided to take this into my own hands, I'm going to move Dinosaur into mainspace at ten fourty-five EST tomorrow. Anyone who wants to make their final edits can do so within that time frame. Thanks. -- 15:14, March 21, 2011 (UTC)
I dunno if you saw this on UN:PIC, but it's been done for a few days now. I didn't change all of the text, I hope that's alright. -- BrigadierGeneralSirZombiebaron 17:33, March 27, 2011 (UTC)

Hello! UnNews kamikaze pilot here! Are you done with the UnNews? I saw it on recent changes, but it doesn't show in the log. Maybe it's because you started it a while ago. Mattsnow 19:17, July 3, 2012 (UTC)
It was a PLS entry so I had to move it from my Userspace. I'm not sure what the problem is though Pirate Lord__Sonic80 (Yell • Latest literary excretion) __ 19:20, July 3, 2012 (UTC)
There were UnNews there??? Anyway, it certainly is because it has been written a while ago, it's a nice one, I'll put it on the front page. Mattsnow 19:29, July 3, 2012 (UTC)
