Greetings everyone!
I have already introduced myself a little bit in the FanFiction section of this forum, but I figured it would not hurt saying hello here as well. :)

So, my name is Julian, I'm 21 years old and from Germany. I have always been a massive fan of dinosaurs (especially the various raptors, theropods in general really, and of course the mighty T-Rex), ever since my childhood days. I watched a few of the LBT movies but of course I didn't have the luxury of high-speed internet back then, so it was only until recently that I saw them all plus the TV series and really enjoyed it. This got me even into the whole FanFiction business, I am working on my own right now, but that's a topic I've already made a post about. ;)

Anyway, I hope to be finding some interesting people here as well as maybe some new stuff to read or watch!

See ya around.

Willkommen bei uns JulianR94 :)
Freut mich zu sehen, dass die LBT Fangemeinde auch in Deutschland aktiv bleibt ;)
(translation: I'm glad to see the LBT fan community remains active in Germany as well  ;)).
It is always a pleasure to welcome new members to our community. Please feel hearty invited to join our discussions or start threads of your own :yes
May I ask round about which region of Germany you are living in? I'm in the eastern part of the Ruhrgebiet myself. Of course there is absolutely no obligation whatsoever to respond to this and I am not prying for any exact addresses or anything. I'm just curious whenever there is another fan from Germany as to whether or not he or she may be living not too far away from where I am (so far the fans from Germany always seem to be distributed far over the country rather than within easy reaching distance).

Wow, that's the closest anyone (any GOF member that is) ever lived to my Bochum home.

Hello again.  :wave It is nice to see you on the forum.  I don't think that I have asked you before, but which LBT characters are your favorite and least favorite?


Go ahead and check out my fanfictions, The Seven Hunters, Songs of the Hunters, and Menders Tale.

Always great to see a new member on here.  I find the various types of raptors neat.  I guess Chomper is one of the characters you like a lot?

If you count the TV series then I'd have to say Chomper and Ruby. Of course I do like the original gang of five as a whole as well, but Chomper and Ruby both add some spice. Carnivore and omnivore, I think that says it all. Maybe Ruby is even my favorite. What can I say? I love my raptors. :smile
And then there's Guido. He's quite the odd character but I do like how he behaves and of course his appearance. He was the first feathered dinosaur that appeared in LBT, as far as I'm concerned, as well so that's another thing.

I don't really dislike any of the characters, I don't even think that's really possible as the series does not contain actions of murder, hate or deceit, which would be the criteria I need to dislike someone. Maybe Sierra and Rinkus, if anything. And well, I used to really dislike Topps for his attitude but that changed into respect later on as his character progressed throughout the series. Other than that, maybe Kosh? I mean, Ankylosaurs are awesome, "prehistoric tanks" after all, but he is just one massive douche throughout the whole series. :D

I do like how Tops changed through out the movie series instead of staying a static personality.  

And in Kosh I think they used the right amount, without it being to much, including in the tv series.

Aaaaaand I'm late to the topic as usual. Anyway, welcome! We're all glad to have you aboard, and it's cool to see another theropod fan as well. I've always been more of a Sauropod loyalist myself, but theropods have always been awesome to me as well. All that finally said, enjoy your stay here!

Ahh it's no problem! :D
Matter of fact, it was one of your fanfictions (Where Paths Diverge) that brought me quite a big step closer to where I am now. You know, getting back into the whole LBT and writing my own fanfictions. ;)

Awesome, great to hear! I'd certainly be willing to give your work a read if I can get the time. I'm trying to force myself to be more critical, though. so if I ever come across as overly nitpicky, you'll know why  :rolleyes:
