A reminder that Primeval: New World started airing in the UK earlier this week at 9pm on Tuesday, on the channel Watch (Sky 109/Virgin Media 124). Luckily if you missed it there's a repeat at 9pm GMT tomorrow, Friday 11th January.

For anyone submitting fics for the new show please do let us know, either commenting here or via the contact us page linked on the above menu, if we've missed out any characters or other classifications for it. Likewise, if you are new to the ARChive and have any questions about how to use it then don't hesitate to ask. :)

And for those who don't have the fortune to be able to see the new show yet, we've had some links pointed out to us for two nifty free Primeval iOS apps that you might be able to enjoy instead. There's a Primeval: New World mobile game and also a cool looking Primeval dFX app to add dinosaurs to your own movies, which could be handy for any Primeval vidders out there.

Hello everyone, and welcome to anyone who has come looking for the first time! Tonight sees the first episode of Primeval: New World, the Canadian spin-off, airing on Space in Canada. I'm sure we will find ouselves with another great dinosaur show from Impossible Pictures on our hands.

I have added the six main characters from PNW to the character lists, and some potential pairings to the pairings list, but if you find you need some more, just contact us (menu button above).

For spoilers, we'll add the episodes in the format - Episode 1x01 PNW - so you can find them easily in the spoiler list.

Those of us in the UK are looking forward to seeing it on Watch in 2013. Until then, perhaps we can enjoy some new fanfic uploaded by the lovely members here! If you're not a member, sign up today and get writing!

It has been a bit slow around here over the last year, but we hope people are still enjoying the website and that you've been keeping up with the new seasons that aired.

We now have both a poll and a challenge based around Season 5. Let us know what you think of Season 5 in the poll on the homepage and, if you feel so inspired, join in the new End of S5 challenge, where we're asking people to write fic based around the last few episodes of the season - be they missing/expanded scenes, follow up or even a complete AU/rewrite of the end if you like. The challenge will be open for entries until Dec 3rd 9pm GMT and as usual the winner, as picked by the admins, will get the featured story spot on the side bar - have fun. :)

And we have had a lovely tip submitted about the Primeval spin-off "Primevel: New World" which we want to share - you can find the new trailer for the show at this link.
