well guys. I always believe bloodshed and violence in any fanfic of a cartoon series or movie should only exist as long as it stays logicaly required. meaning, if somebody gets bit by a sharptooth or gets pierced by a sharp object they will bleed. as for violence, as long as the story is executed properly, violence would work.
take my fanfic for example, in The Bite Of Tornetar, the titular charactor Tornetar is the villian and is the only charactor that wants to kill. the Great Valley dinosaurs only fight back because 1. they have no choice to fight, or they will be killed. 2. they fight back because they are protecting both their home and their loved ones. and 3. if they do nuthing, they will lose their home and their lives. and, if nothing is done, other dinosaurs will suffer the same fate.
at best I always try to keep my fanfics on a PG to PG-13 rating. I also don't like to unsencily censore words that aren't bad words at all. heck, I get people telling me to replace 'Kill' with some other word. I always get angry whenever I read a fanfic where a charactor tells another charactor he is going to "Destroy them" or "Terminate Them" is it realy that hard to write 'Kill' or 'Murder' in the charactor's Dialog. I don't. especialy sence it makes no sence to use diffrent words. I know they mean the same thing, but still. I find it unnessicary. its like saying you went number one instead of saying you went to go pee.
uh, sorry for my rant.
Now I do agree that no movie charactor should be killed off.(injured is okay as long as they live ofcourse otherwise it makes no sence) and the charactors are met with respect to their Movie/cartoon counterparts.
