LBT Fanfiction / Who Mentioned Eggs to Mr. Threehorn?
« on: February 12, 2020, 06:55:55 PM »
Author's Notes:
1. Charger is some random threehorn I made up. Other authors have also written about threehorns named Charger, but this one is a different Charger. I just want to make it clear that I am not claiming someone else's OC as my own.

2. I do not own the Land Before Time, its characters, locations, etc. I only own my OC.

3. I didn't plan the plot for this story beforehand. I just started writing after I had a thought about the first line. I was originally going to write this as a Lion King fanfiction with Simba and Kovu, but I decided to write it as a LBT fanfic because for a long time, LBT fanfics were the only fanfics I was interested in.

4. THIS IS MY FIRST EVER COMPLETED FANFIC. I know it's not anywhere near perfect, but I just wanted to write it and publish it in the hopes that other people could get amusement from it.

5. Rated 'T' on fanfiction.net because I don't know what "Eggs" would be rated as. Don't worry, nothing explicit happens in this story.

"Charger! When I catch you, you're a dead threehorn!"

Oh no. That was Mr. Threehorn, and he sounds pissed. I see him now, and I've never seen him in such a fury. What could poor Charger possibly have done to get my husband in such a rage? He's such a sweet threehorn, the perfect match for my little girl. Wait. That must be it! My baby girl! Cera! Speaking of Cera, here she comes now.

"Tria! Help!"

Cera's calling for my help? That can't be good!

I need to find out what happened. Preferably before any blood gets spilled. So, I ask my baby girl – she's an adult now, but she'll always be my baby girl – for an explanation.

"Honey, what's wrong?"

"Daddy's out for Charger's blood!"

"Cera, what happened?"
Now my daughter looks embarrassed and slightly ashamed. This is not good.

"You know how Charger and I got married last month? Well, somebody told Daddy that...he's going to be a grandfather."

Wait what? My daughter is pregnant? SHE'S PREGNANT? How long has she been pregnant for?

"Tria we have to save Charger. Daddy's on a rampage and I can't let him hurt Charger!"

She's right. I know she loves the boy, and he loves her. They're a match made in heaven. Although I hope that they have a long way to go before either of them make the journe-

"We have to go now!"

"Alright. Let's go."
An idea enters my mind. Cera and I will need all the help we can get to keep Charger safe.

"Maybe we can get help from your friends."

As Cera and I run to where she last saw Charger, we hear a bellow from Topps followed by shouts from the Gang.

"BELLOW"

"The eggs are in danger! In Danger they are!"

"Ooh this be bad, me no look!"

"We can not let Mr. Threehorn trample the eggs, oh no no no!"

"Hurry everybody, everybody hurry! Ducky, you help me carry the eggs. Chomper, you and Spike go distract Mr. Threehorn. Littlefoot, you guard the clearing. And Petrie, you keep a lookout from the sky. The quicker we move the eggs, the quicker we can save them."

They're talking about eggs! Has my baby girl already laid the eggs?

As Cera and I approach the clearing, we hear Littlefoot call out, "Quick! Scatter!" followed by the Gang panicking and bolting out of the clearing. I see Charger bolt into the clearing with Topps on his tail. Thank the ancestors that they both manage to stop without harming the nest. The nest that I can only assume is my daughter's.

"CHARGER! YOU...ARE...SO...DEAD...!"

"Please don't hurt me, Mr. Threehorn!"
"Boy, when I'm through with you, you'll wish you'd ne-"

Did Topsy just threaten the boy?

"Topsy! Stop this madness! Leave Charger alone. The poor boy hasn't done anything wrong."

"Tria! Did you see what he's gone and done?"

"Topsy. You knew that it was a matter of time before this happened. Can't you see that they're happy with the eggs? And more importantly, can't you see that they love each other?"

"Tria. You've seen the eggs by now."
I get ready to respond, but my other baby – Tricia – beats me to it.

"But Daddy, Cera hasn't even laid her eggs yet. She's not supposed to lay them for another couple months..."

"Uh, so whose eggs are these then?"

We all turn to the asker of that question. Littlefoot. The only one of Cera's friends to not bolt at the sight of a rampaging threehorn. It makes sense that he would be the one to stay. As a full-grown longneck, he could easily hold his own if Mr. Threehorn turned on him. And he and Cera have always been close, despite their...differences.

"Hey! Get away from my nest! Are you trying to hurt my babies?"

"Oh sorry, Mrs. Maia! We uh, mistook these eggs for someone else's. We meant them no harm!"

"Well Littlefoot, this is my nest. Now go away."

Littlefoot looks visibly uncomfortable by now. He starts to leave. Tricia seems to think that leaving is a good idea too. I agree, so I decide to see if the rest of my family is ready to leave too.

"Oh Topsy, shall we leave Mrs. Maia to tend to her nest?" I ask in the sweetest voice I can muster.

In response, Topps just gives his signature "Hmph!" and turns around and leaves the clearing.

"I'm so happy you're safe!"

"And I'm so thankful that you're also safe, Cera."

"I wasn't the one he was rampaging after."

I see Mrs. Maia giving the young couple a glare. I decide to intervene before she gets any ideas. Cera and Charger have had enough drama for today. Topps should never have gone off at Charger like that.

"He shouldn't have rampaged after either of you. Charger, I'm so sorry that you saw that side of Topsy. Anyways, we should probably leave this clearing before we get chased again."

My daughter interrupts me.
"Thank you Tria, but you shouldn't blame yourself for this. Daddy chose to do this. I know you well enough to know that things like this aren't your way of dealing with things."

As we leave the clearing, I decide to try to lighten the mood.

"So, when should I expect my grandkids?"
"Mom!"
Wow. She called me mom. Oh, that makes me so happy!

"Hmm, does this mean that you're finally willing to accept me as your mother?"

I can sense the hesitation coming from Cera. She's never been one to enjoy these "sappy" moments. She gets that from her father. He was raised to be a "true threehorn." One that does not show soft emotions, as soft emotions show weakness. And that's how he raised Cera. They are so much alike. But they are also different. Thanks to her bonding with the Gang, Cera is able to open up at times. Bottling in emotions has never been good for her. Now she seems ready to answer my question. I will give her my undivided attention. This is an answer we've both known was coming for years. And now it's here.

"Yes, after everything we've been through...I am ready to accept you as my mother. I love you, Tria. I am proud to have you as my mom."

"Awe, that's so sweet!"

"Shut up, Charger! Don't make me ram you!"

I forgot Charger was still standing there. And I forgot about the mood swings that come with pregnancy. At least I know that Cera has others who love her and who will stand by her side.

Now, all we have to do is wait for the eggs.

"If only it would be that easy. Knowing how things happen in this valley, it won't be easy."

Oh dear. I said that out loud, didn't I?

Since when has waiting for eggs to be laid been so hard?

Everyone in the Great Valley learned something new that day. Do not mention 'Eggs' to Mr. Threehorn.

More Author's Notes:

This is told from Tria's perspective.

Thank you to the following people for at some point or another encouraging me to write a fanfic (names listed in alphabetical order:

It's Party Time! / Twenty Questions...LBT Style
« on: October 31, 2019, 04:42:27 PM »
Here's a 20 questions game...but with a LBT theme  :lol

Here's the rules from the Regular Twenty Questions topic:
"One person, the "answerer" chooses a subject (object) but does not reveal it. The others, "questioners", ask simple "Yes" or "No" questions e.g. "Is it heavier than a book?" If a "questioner" guesses the subject before 20 questions are asked, they are the new "answerer". If 20 questions are asked without a correct guess, the "answerer" goes for another round.
Rules:
1. An "answerer" must not lie.
2. "Yes" or "No" questions only.
3. Wait for the "answerer" to answer your question before asking a new one.
Edit: 4. If multiple questions have been answered, the answerer must specify which questioner is being answered."

However, for this game there are a few extra rules...
the subject/object must be from the LBT.
It can be things like a character (canon and OC allowed), movie, TV episode, LBT word, fanfic, species that appears in the LBT, LBT location, etc.
But no quotes or scenes - those would probably be a bit tricky for 20 questions.
IF it is a fanfic or OC, the total amount of guess allowed will go up to 25 - if it is not guessed by the 20th guess...
In this version of the game, consecutive guessing IS allowed. However, the answerer must answer your question before you can guess again. You just don't have to wait for someone else to make a guess before you guess again



I guess I'll start this off...and I've got a something in mind  :lol
Happy guessing game! And may the odds...be ever in your favor  :SmugSpike

General Land Before Time / LBT Marathon
« on: October 18, 2019, 11:45:43 PM »
So...after someone on discord mentioned doing a Land Before Time movie marathon...I decided to do one too. Or at least try  :lol


Who all has tried?
How many movies did you make it through?
What did you think of attempting to marathon the LBT movies?
How did you feel after the attempt?
Has anyone attempted to marathon the TV series?
If so, how many episodes did you last through?


I’m currently (as of this post) approximately 10 minutes into LBT VI: The Secret of Saurus Rock. However, it’s almost midnight...so I don’t know how many more movies I’ll make it through  :lol

It's Party Time! / Ban the character above you...LBT theme!
« on: September 18, 2019, 10:11:38 PM »
Kinda (basically) another version of the "Ban the person above you" game...

Basically someone will post a LBT-themed reason for banning the LBT character in the post above theirs - then they'll post a character for the next person to ban.

Try not to ban the same character multiple times consecutively...
Characters must be LBT characters
Characters can be actual canon or OCs - if it's an OC, please credit the owner of the OC...and maybe add where the OC can be found (fanfic, art, role play, etc)
Reasons must be LBT-themed

Example:
Poster 1: Topps
Poster 2: I ban Topps for interrupting too many meetings. Littlefoot
Poster 3: I ban Littlefoot for having eyelashes. Rooter
and so on.........



First character:
Taunt (OC from rhombus's Seven Hunters continuity)  :lol

Hi  :rainbowwave

Since I decided to start making some attempts at Land Before Time fanart...I figured I'd make a topic here  :lol

I'm not a master at art and I'm not gonna pretend to be one  ;)Cera However, I do find art fun...so that's why I do art.

I'm not really sure what else to write here (currently)...but more might be added later  :lol


First image posted:
This is Taunt - an OC created by @rhombus in The Seven Hunters conutinuity

This was my 2nd ever attempt at drawing a fastbiter...

Role Play Discussion / Potential Role Play Involving Lots of...
« on: July 12, 2019, 08:31:08 PM »
Longnecks!  :)littlefoot :PAli

Anyways...I’ve never done a LBT role play...and the last time I really tried to role play was in like...2012  :lol

I was wondering if anyone would be interested in doing a role play with lots of longnecks - anyone who’s read my into topic would probably see that I’m (a bit) obsessed with longnecks  :lol Role play would definitely not be only longnecks though.

I don’t have a plot yet for a story...but it would be the type of role play that is mostly canon...
Plot and other rules would be decided by the group that starts the role play (if it gets started  :lol) Anyone who would join in later would have to agree to the rules...

Also...if anyone has any role playing tips I’d love to hear them - I’m a total newbie when it comes to role playing  :lol
(New to posting in this forum...new to role playing...new to writing fanfictions...not new to LBT)  :lol

This seems to be a debate that’s been going around places where LBT fans chat...and VI is still my favorite movie...so any reason to talk about it :lol  :SmugSpike

I am on the side of “Saurus Rock is outside the Great Valley, but it’s fairly close to the Great Wall” and here’s why:
If I got the screenshots in the correct order, screenshot 1 is Grandpa Longneck climbing the Great Wall...heading out of the Great Valley. And screenshot 2 is Grandpa Longneck at the top of the wall (the part where he was climbing) and looking out at part of the Mysterious Beyond which is right outside the Great Valley.
I’m assuming that what he was climbing was the Great Wall when he and most of the Gang went after Littlefoot in VI




In screenshot 2 there also appear to be stone columns in a canyon in the background that look a lot like what thee Gang used to cross the canyon. All but one of the ones that the Gang used collapsed, so these are probably in another section of the canyon.

Also, in one of the TV series episodes, when Chomper and Ruby are heading towards the Great Valley, they see Saurus Rock...and there’s what looks like a wall behind it...which would probably be the Great Wall. And since these two were still in the Mysterious Beyond at this point, that would put Saurus Rock’s location as outside the Great Valley.


Anyone else have any thoughts and/or counter arguments and/or corrections?  :)

The Welcome Center / Hi :)
« on: July 11, 2019, 06:45:42 PM »
Hello everybody, everybody hello  :rainbowwave

I’ve been a GoF forum member for a little while now (less than a year though) but I haven’t posted in this part of the forum yet #procrastination  :lol

Anyways, yeah, I’m the one who suddenly decided to try to make a LBT map and has pretty much no idea how to make it...  :facepalm

Some “facts/info” about me as a LBT fan:

I first started my interest in dinos/LBT when I was about maybe...6 years old. I was very interested in dinos/LBT for another few years. Once I was around 10 or 11, I lost interest in dinos/LBT because a horse interest took over. Last year, my nephews started to be interested in dinos/LBT and they got me re-interested in dinos/LBT. So, at 18, I’m about as interested in dinos/LBT as I was when I was 8 (I think 8yrs old was when I was at my peak interest in dinos/LBT during that first time interest).

My top 5 favorite characters (in alphabetical order - hopefully...)
Bron, Doc, Grandma & Grandpa Longneck, and Littlefoot.
(“Hooray for Longnecks!” <—Thank you Cera’s sleep story in X for that quote :PCera )
Reasons: I’m not even sure anymore - these 5 have been my favorite characters for a long time and I haven’t bothered to replace them (and I haven’t found a reason to replace them) :lol

My 5 least favorite characters (also in alphabetical order - hopefully...)
Doofah, Foobie, Loofah, Red Claw, and Wild Arms.
Reasons: I found the Yellowbellies & Wild Arms to be annoyingly “dimwitted,” and Red Claw is quite incompetent  :lol

My favorite movie:
Land Before Time VI: The Secret of Saurus Rock
Reason: My favorite movie when I was younger, and it apparently hasn’t stopped being my favorite.  :lol

My least favorite movie:
Land Before Time XIII: The Wisdom of Friends
Reason: Yellowbellies. I don’t like them. I find them annoying.  :lol

And apparently the “lol dino”  :lol is my favorite emoji/icon on this forum.  :lol

(I’m sorry if this ends up being annoyingly long (it’s long. Jus previewed it...and it’s long)...it also might be overrun by “lol dinos”  but I’m not sorry about that :lol)

LBT Projects / Map of the Land Before Time
« on: July 08, 2019, 03:48:45 PM »
Hi  :rainbowwave

I've started planning a LBT project - to make a map of the LBT.

Basically there will be two maps - one with just locations, and another with the locations of events.

These maps will not be "accurate/perfect"...but I'm going to try my best to get them as accurate as I can.

I'm actually not the only one planning this - my mom (also a LBT fan, but not as much of a fan as I am) has agreed to help with the actual drawing of the map (yay!!).

The reasons I'm posting this here are 1) I'm really excited to do this and I wanted to share my excitement and 2) I have a request.

Is there anyone who would like to help with the map? I think the best ways to help would be to find locations/things to go on the map and to help with figuring out where the locations are. Also, the scale of the map is going to be difficult...

Sorry if this post is a bit scattered - I'm kinda sleep deprived  :sducky
