---------

Due to problems (or rather - problems with my laziness) with writing prequel and sequel to LBT TV series, stories from my first main LBT universe, I put into safe plans about writing huge LBT story placed in second alternative universe.

Idea was about facing our gang with true villain in LBT world, one of the most dangerous personal enemy: sharptooth dinosaur who taught leafeaters language and used it for haunting and understanding life of leafeaters.
In the same day, I quite reimagined his motives, so he met the gang not by accident, and he dealt with them not only for his personal interest.
But on the second day, after I completed watching this full movie inside my mind, I turned this idea into something very big. With expanding this story in ten times bigger, with adding more characters and their POVs, with traveling to their pasts, including past of Gang, even with reimagining some of their past adventures.

This story has two problems.
Main problem - almost half of events fom this story are alternative versions of the same events happening in my first universe.
Second problem - this story would be much more darker than original movie, with including some very vile actions from sharptooth villain side. I just fear I crossed some lines.

2. A story where an epidemic gets into the Great Valley; however, only the grown ups are affected and it's up to the kids to nurse them back to health; however, only the elders are in danger of dying and need extra care.

I kind of had a similar idea, except it's a epidemic that only effects longnecks, which knocks Littlefoot out and forces Cera to be in leadership of the gang. Ali and Rhett might or mightn't show up strangely immune for plot reasons. Littlefoot would be forced to face the concept of his mortality with his grandparents, Mr. Threehorn and Tria among others think about having to lead the valley without them, and Cera struggles to become a good leader. The valley works together to keep the longnecks healthy while Cera's gang struggle to find the cure. I still might or mightn't write it, but anyone else is free to take up the idea if they want too.

4. After the loss of his grandparents, and his father has gone missing and is presumably dead, Littlefoot has no next of kin living in the Great Valley. Who will take him in until he's old enough to take care of himself? The grown ups are faced with a difficult problem; losing their leaders and trying to figure out what to do about the orphan.

That's a concept I thought about. I kind of think later in the movie/TV series, the grandparents would get along with the other parents of the gang enough to have a contingency plan for their deaths - Littlefoot would, say, live with Cera's family until he becomes old enough to look after himself. In fact, I could see Cera's parents, Ducky and Spike's parents, and Petrie's parents also have that plan if anything happens to them.

I don't think Bron needs to be imperiled in order to make sure Littlefoot stays in the valley. It might take awhile for Bron's herd to come depending on when the grandparents pass and Littlefoot could ultimately decide to stay in the valley (Though he might still take trips with Bron's herd, for example, every other year, or so).

funny: epidemy in Great Valley is reason-explanation in my fanfic universe why herds in LBT1 permanently succesfully stayed in valley: because the most of old residents are gone.

I have a thought to write a story where the LBT characters are anthropomorphic and are placed in present time; in a world with humans. They learn about human culture; although, with human technology, it takes them a while to get used to it; whereas with everything else, it comes naturally for them; such as bathing and/showering, dressing themselves and relieving themselves.

I've been considering starting up a fanfic in which the gang (probably just a few years older than they are in the show) takes Archie back to the Big Water. That's it. That's all I've really thought out. But I do feel the potential is there. Setting this after the show allows the gang to deal with concepts like the increasing responsibilities of growing up, or in Archie's case, old age. It'd potentially give us the chance to revisit Chomper's family, Elsie, maybe even establish a conclusion to Red Claw's arc.

But honestly, I just figured it could explain what the heck an Archelon is doing several miles inland in a cave.

This is an idea that's been in my head for years. I'm just waiting for the right moment to actually start working on it. School, other real-life matters, and my current fics are quite a nasty combo in impeding my progress.

I already mentioned this idea before in another thread (can't figure out which), but this is my take on the classic coming-of-age fanfic, inspired by the Sharptooth Valley fic I've heard about but not read yet, the Planet of the Apes reboot trilogy, a little of the Jurassic World trilogy, and (believe it or not) the current state of American politics. A devastating drought forces many herds to migrate to the Great Valley, which is now one of the few areas in the world that are not as affected. Following these herds are many, many Sharpteeth that can no longer survive by just randomly roaming around the lands in search of prey.

Because of this, the Great Wall surrounding the Valley is now encircled by hungry, starving Sharpteeth, who now realize all they have to do to get food is wait for more herds to migrate to the Valley and pick off any stragglers or weaklings. These Sharpteeth form a gigantic "super-pack" of sorts that calls the area directly surrounding the Valley their home. This pack enters into an uneasy truce with the Valley residents, who use Chomper as their mediator and translator, and both the herds and the "super-pack" are forced to coexist.

As a result of this new society that emerges, the Valley residents fracture into two sides: one knows they cannot control their circumstances and allows the Sharpteeth to stay for the moment, while the other is paranoid about the Valley's chances of survival and wishes to eradicate the Sharpteeth. There is an underlying tension between both sides that threatens to boil over with every passing year. The same dilemma goes for the "super-pack" behind the Great Wall: most Sharpteeth are absolutely hungry and want to storm the Valley to get more food than they could possibly imagine, while some, led by the super-pack's alpha, are more patient and believe in a delicate circle of life that they must adhere to.

The years pass and the world recovers from the drought, but the Sharpteeth's numbers have grown and they are comfortable with their living arrangements. At the same time, Chomper has grown up with the rest of the gang and begins to suffer an identity crisis, wondering if he should stay loyal to the Valley that took him in and looked to him as one of its own, or to the Sharpteeth that he has grown close to during his years of mediating, dinosaurs that are of his own kind.

One day, things finally reach a boiling point.

At least, that's the story I've come up with. Now that I've set it up here, I REALLY want to write it, but I can't write more than two or three fics at the same time even if my life depended on it. :(

^sounds interesting...

-----

After realizing I simply would not find enough time to write everything I wanted about LBT universe, I completelly scrapped all my plans (second and third universes) except my main plan - writing prequels and sequels to main LBT films, with some changes to make them better in my opinion.

So, no more villain sharptooth who speaks leafeaters language and performs not-nature vile things, and no more alien-rainbowfaces-like character who speaks with gang about past and the future. :[

Though, some elements and characters look so good in my opinion so they migrated to main story now.

@Dr. Rex Very interesting idea!  :o

@Sneak Sorry to hear, as I really found your ideas to be interesting. XP I hope to see your future fics.   :chompysmile

I've been thinking about a possible crossover with "We're Back, A dinosaur story" which can lead to a comedic take on the gang time traveling to modern day in which they mess with modern technology and concepts. I don't think I've seen anyone ever attempt that. XD

A new idea crossed my mind thanks to the Ducky caption!  :chompysmile

Remember the imaginary creatures that appeared in LBT 9 and 10? What if they become real? Out of some supernatural circumstances,  the gang brainstorms some imaginary friends and creatures, and they all come to life, including Petrie's imaginary friend from movie 9. The gang would then have to hide them from the adults to prevent them from causing a panic with humorous results.

Are you planning on making the Gang imagine some Sharpteeth friends? :bestsharptooth

Interesting and fun idea though. :lol
Is it the rainbowfaces doing? :o

This is not so much an "unused" idea, but more like a "something I would like to do, but probably won't for quite a while" kind of idea.

Basically, the gang of seven stumble across a portal that leads to a universe where everything and everyone is made of Lego (and yes, the gang themselves turn into Lego figures upon arrival (not minifigures, just plastic Lego figures that are shaped just like their regular organic dinosaur selves)). I don't want to give away too much of the story I've got in mind, but I will say that, after a series of events, all seven of them end up scattered across a place called Lego City, and each of them end up making friends and/or enemies among the minifigures who live there.

It's been quite a long time since I last wrote any fanfiction on this site, and although the other fanfiction series I've been writing since then has been relatively good for those who have read those stories, I haven't really received any in-depth feedback like what I've been seeing among the fanfiction readers and writers on this site. With fanfiction on this site becoming much more active these days, I'd actually kind of would like to once again have an opportunity to get some proper feedback on my writing style to see if there's any further improvements I can make. With how much time I've been spending on other things at the moment, chances are I probably won't even get around to start writing this fanfiction idea of mine until sometime next year. And if there's one thing from my experience with fanfiction that will have an influence on this Lego LBT idea, it's that I should make it a one-off standalone story that will not be part of any series.

I've thought over this idea for about a month now, and I actually have almost the entire story already planned out (or at least most of the important events), so for me, it'll just be a matter of trying to find enough time to actually write it all out. I guess the only question I have now is if anyone here would be interested in reading such a fanfic. What do you think?

My first comment on the site I'm a new member of the community. About crossover ideas I like the ideas of Littlefoot and gang going to future and meet humans also a good Bionicle story too. Both Bionicle G1 and Land Before Time are part of my childhood along with Sonic The Hedgehog, Pokémon, Digimon, Bakugan, and many other series including MLP G4.

Here's a few of my fanfic ideas.

Sonic and Littlefoot- A Speedy between Times: Sonic The Hedgehog games/Sonic X Anime/Land Before Time crossover. When Littlefoot is sucked into a strange portal that opens up in the Great Valley one night he lands on Planet Möbius and finds himself in the clutches of the notorious Doctor Eggman and his robots as he is put into a new robot to power it until Sonic the Hedgehog comes to the rescue and frees the young dinosaur. Now with Eggman hatching a new plan to capture and inslave all of the Dinosaurs of Littlefoot's world he along with Sonic and the blue hero's friends must work together to find the 7 Chaos Emeralds that were scattered across both Sonic's world and Littlefoot's world before Eggman gets his hands on them for his new scheme for universal world domination! Can these two heroes from different times work together to save both their worlds?

Bionicle 5: The Shadows of Prehistory (Bionicle G1/Land Before Time Crossover)- Several months after the restoration of Sparuah Magma the Agory, Glatroians, Matorian, Turaga, and Toa live in peace after the fall of Teridax and Mata Nui using the Last of his energy to revive the planet to its nature beauty. However a long lost forgotten Makuta known as Makuta Helitrix comes to light as he who has been stranded on prehistoric Earth learns of his brotheran's fate along with Teridax and blames the Toa for their fall along with Mata Nui. He then unleashes a new dangerous foe to the Toa and the planet's inhabitants called Dinorahi as he managed to travel to the future of our world stolen many pieces of medical equipment both modern and very advanced from the future. Littlefoot and his friends are captured along with Ali and Shorty, but Littlefoot, Ali, and Shorty manage to escape from the evil Makuta and reach Neo Metru Nui where they meet the Toa Nuva as Tahu, Gali, Lewa, Kopaka, Pohatu, Onwa, and Takanuva are launched into a new battle against a dangerous new foe that not only threatens their world, but Earth as well! Armed with new weapons, new armor, new masks, and new demutation spheres the Toa Nuva must save not only our world's future, but their world as well from this forgotten Makuta! In…

Bionicle 5: Shadows of Prehisotry!

I have one idea for a LBT fanfic buzzing around my head...and it's inspired by Detentionaire, what a surprise :bestsharptooth

One Flu Over the Great Valley - A highly contagious flu is spreading around the Great Valley, leaving the dinosaurs sick and coughing, sneezing and generally malfunctioning like crazy. Ducky, quarantined in her nest with a particularly bad case, winds up having hallucinations of a rainbowface who wants to talk to her. Meanwhile, Chomper and Ruby, witnessing the symptoms of the cold taking over all the adults and teenagers, fear that this flu is only the beginning of a terrifying Great Valley apocalypse and the flu will twist their minds into terrifying dino-zombie minds! The two lead the other kids on a desperate escape to the Mysterious Beyond - but will they end up getting "infected" with this virus too?

I've recently come up with another idea.

Has anyone here read that fanfic on fanfiction.net where a Russian submarine from the 1980s ends up in the Land Before Time world? Well, I've been thinking recently what it might be like if the Titanic, just hours before it would have hit that iceberg, somehow ends up in the Land Before Time world. Imagine what the gang might think if they saw such a massive object floating in the big water, and imagine their reactions as they tour the entire ship.

If anyone is interested in turning this idea into a story, just let me know and I'll send you a message with all of the specific ideas I have in mind.

I read a few chapters of that story and it’s got me interested. I’m presently working on a Hot Wheels Acceleracers/Land Before Time Crossover story.

Hello, everybody! My name is Jack.
I have loved the LBT series since 1998.
I may not be much of a fanfic author.
However, I can share ideas with creativity.

Since Journey of The Brave may  have been the last of the series, I have what I call A Mega idea for A Mega Crossover.

This mega crossover happens Right after Journey of The Brave.

It is a crossover between The Land Before Time X Terra Nova X HTTYD X James Cameron's Avatar series and Far Cry Primal.

Plot: Right after rescuing his father from the fire mountain, Littlefoot and his friends travel back to the great valley. Meanwhile, Red Claw takes over various packs of sharp teeth to help him fight against the great valley.
During this time, Littlefoot gets separated from the rest of the gang.
As he tries to find the others, He stumbles on a trapped Sharptooth that he sets free and finds out the Sharptooth was really a prehistoric Human Shaman in disguise. He sends Littlefoot on a spiritual vision journey that grants him the ability to speak sharptooth. He stumbles on his first new Sharptooth friend. She is Chomper's Kind and age and is a girl. Soon, The Girl Sharptooth and Littlefoot become bonded with each other and decides to show her to the rest of the gang.
It takes time for her to be liked and not feared by the gang.
They find peace down the line.
However, As the battle with Red Claw continues, Cera and the gang find other sharpteeth that are their age and become a gang of leaf eaters and sharpteeth.
One Day, The Gang is caught by the grown ups. At first, They took time making friends with the gang's Sharpteeth friends, Soon They bonded with the friendly Sharpteeth.
During the fight against Red Claw, Many Sharpteeth defected from the leadership of Red Claw.
Ruby and Chomper's families get caught in the middle.
However, With the valley of United Sharpteeth and Flatteeth, Red Claw gets defeated once and for all.
With Red Claw gone with the trust of sharpteeth like Chomper's Parents, They become the leaders of Sharpteeth in The great valley.
However, A new threat rises.

A Tyrant in the form of a Neantherthal named: Ivan The Sharptooth slaver.
He behaves the same way as Drago Bludvist does from HTTYD 2.
With a huge tribe and army of Early Humans loyal to him wage a war against the great valley and allies.
After being captured and taken into slavery by the Ivan's Army, Littlefoot helps the sharpteeth escape to freedom.
With their freedom, They rebel against Ivan and the loyal Humans, and defeat him.

The third and possible serious threats and challenges is this.

Humans from an earth that is dying of environmental collapse, come to Pangea.
Most humans settle in peace in colonies made by advanced technology from the dying earth.
Other Humans can be careless and greedy to try and take over Pangea.

What do you all think?

Seeing as today is the anniversary of when Doctor Who first premiered, I feel like this might be a good time to share an idea I've had recently for a crossover fanfic of Land Before Time with Doctor Who.

Which version of the Doctor would this story involve? That's what I think makes this idea a little fun. This story idea would cover multiple entries in the LBT series, with the version of the Doctor at each part being contemporary to whoever was the "current" Doctor at the time those different entries had originally released.

Act One would have the Seventh Doctor (and his companion Ace) get involved in the events of LBT 2. They would at first observe from a distance, astonished to see talking dinosaurs, but after the chaos of the egg theft and rockfall from the Great Wall forces them to meet Littlefoot and his friends, they decide to help the kids care for the egg they found and believed to have rescued from the egg thieves. The Doctor even offers to use some kind of incubator inside the TARDIS to help that egg, leading to an amusing scene where the five young dinos first see the weird blue box that's bigger on the inside. When Chomper hatches, four of the five kids flee, but the Doctor is able to close the TARDIS door to trap Littlefoot and help him understand how harmless the hatchling Chomper actually is. When the egg eaters pursue the other kids, Littlefoot goes to help his friends and the Doctor (with Ace and Chomper) soon follow. After a few more wild chases throughout the Great Valley, two sharpteeth arrive to attack, and soon after the adult dinos arrive to fight them off. Since the presence of the TARDIS also functions passively as a universal translator, both sides of the battle would be able to understand each other, resulting some amusing banter back and forth. Eventually, it's revealed that the two sharpteeth are actually Chomper's parents, who agree to leave the valley once the others allow Chomper to go with them, with the Doctor offering to escort them out of the valley. As the sharpteeth are about to leave, they encounter the egg eaters trying to get revenge on Littlefoot, so to save the young longneck, the Doctor convinces Chomper's parents to go after "the ones who took away your child" and they chase the egg eaters out of the valley. After letting Chomper leave with his parents, Littlefoot and the Doctor help the valley residents refill the hole in the Great Wall. With the adventure concluded, Ace and the Doctor say goodbye to the five young dinos and depart in the TARDIS. After departure, the Doctor confesses to Ace that he knew all along that Chomper's egg was not the one the egg eaters had taken and he discretely returned the egg that had actually been stolen, with his reason for the deception to teach the children a valuable lesson about responsibility.

Act Two would have the Eighth Doctor (at a time when he did not have any companions traveling with him) get involved in the events of LBT 7. Like his previous visit, he initially observes from a distance, but as he overhears some of the advanced knowledge being shared by the two Rainbowfaces, he suspects they are much more than merely another pair of common dinosaurs. When the Great Valley council gathers following Ducky's kidnapping by Pterano, the Doctor steps forward to reveal he has returned, explaining the confusion over his completely different appearance as, "Timelords don't die. Instead, we regenerate." Once the bickering council eventually realizes the kids have run off to save Ducky themselves, the Doctor offers to follow after them himself, assuring the worried adults that "I have my ways" to quickly catch up to those five young dinos. He uses the TARDIS to go directly to Threehorn Peak just in time to see the kids get flung out of the mountain to finally reach the Stone of Cold Fire. Pterano and his goons arrive to take it's power, but soon realize it actually has no power. When the mountain then begins to erupt, the Doctor rushes the kids and even Pterano into the TARDIS and uses it to take them out of danger and directly back to the council site. Later than night, the Doctor finally gets to privately meet with the Rainbowfaces, and after a brief conversation, they come to a mutual understanding that both sides are extraterrestrials who wish to keep some secrets from the other. Before leaving the time of the dinosaurs, the Doctor takes a quick detour to meet with the now exiled Pterano to discus the flyer's improved change of heart. The Doctor even offers to let Pterano travel with him with the promise they could skip through time directly to the end of his five year banishment, but Pterano politely declines as he feels that would be cheating his deserved punishment, to which the Doctor acknowledges as a wise choice.

Act Three would have the Tenth Doctor (and his companion Dona Noble) on a rather special adventure with the young dinos at a time very shortly after the events of the LBT TV series. Unlike his two previous visits, the Doctor decides to just step forward and reintroduce himself to not just the five familiar kids but also Chomper and their new friend Ruby. They soon discover the Rainbowfaces have returned for reasons those two refuse to explain. While the Eighth Doctor had been content to let secrets be kept, the Tenth Doctor is eager to expose the truth about those alien visitors and even invites the seven young dinos along with him, much to Dona's protests for common sense. After many tries with various gadgets, the Doctor is finally able to track the Rainbowfaces and uses the TARDIS to pursue them into a space station orbiting the Earth. The group step out of the TARDIS and begin exploring the alien space outpost, soon getting separated and caught up in several misadventures. Eventually, the Doctor is brought to the authority in charge of the station, who reveals that the operation is a scientific mission to induce intelligence into the primitive creatures of Earth and observe if any of the various species could potentially develop a new civilization, However, the Doctor bringing those seven dinosaur children aboard has threatened to completely skew the results of the experiment, and risks terminating the project via a directed asteroid strike to wipe out all of the affected creatures before they could become too advanced and become a possible threat to the aliens. Once the group is finally reunited, the Doctor reluctantly gives the seven children two options: stay with the aliens for the rest of their lives and never be allowed to return home, or have their memories of the space station completely wiped away so they can return home without being able to reveal the truth to anyone. After a difficult discussion, the kids decide they would rather return home, so they agree to have their memories of the space station erased. When the kids reawaken in the TARDIS with their last memory being in pursuit of the Rainbowfaces into space, the Doctor sadly explains to them that while he did get the answers he wanted, he can't reveal the truth to them as "That would be telling." When the TARDIS returns to the Great Valley and the kids step outside, the Doctor does assure them that, "While I can't just give you the answers to the universe, that doesn't mean I can stop you from trying to find those answers for yourself. You and your future children have a very long journey ahead of you, so you better get started." As the TARDIS departs, Dona admits that what she just witnessed was one of the bravest things she's ever seen the Doctor do.

Act Four would have the Thirteenth Doctor make a special visit sometime after the events of LBT 14. While her companions (Ryan, Graham, and Yaz) spend some time with the seven young dinos, the Doctor leaves in the TARDIS to "have a chat with some old friends." She returns to the alien space station to meet with the commander who had sent a signal to the TARDIS. The alien commander shamefully reveals that after several close calls with the various dinosaurs of Earth (not just the Great Valley), all funding for the massive experiment has now been terminated, and they are thus now obliged to direct that asteroid strike to prevent "unnatural contamination". Not wanting their efforts to go completely to waste, the two aliens who had personally observed the Great Valley were able to compile a complete record of the adventures of Littlefoot and his friends, in hopes that a future "authentic" civilized race might one day learn about some of the remarkable things that once took place on Earth. The Doctor agrees to deliver the records to the humans in the future, but only on the condition that they delay the asteroid strike long enough to allow at least a few more generations of dinosaurs after Littlefoot and friends to continue living, to which the alien commander agrees. The Doctor returns to the Great Valley to pick up her companions and they bid one final farewell to the seven young dinos. After the TARDIS departs, the Doctor reveals to her companions the device containing the records and that she has been asked to "deliver a very special package. One that cannot be given to someone, but rather must be found by those who are ready to receive it. And I know just when and where to leave it..."

Tying it all together in the Epilogue would have the Fifth Doctor discover that device somewhere on a dinosaur dig site sometime in the early 1980s. Despite his best efforts to uncover its secrets, he is unable to see anything more than the very first adventure where Littlefoot meets his friends and they journey together to find the Great Valley. He eventually realizes that the key to unlocking all the data within the device is not to observe it privately but to share it with the universe piece by piece. He ultimately decides to hand over the device to the one person he believes would be best qualified to share such a remarkable series of prehistoric adventures: Don Bluth.

So, yeah, that's pretty much it. I'm unfortunately way too busy with other things to even consider trying to write this idea out into a complete story. If anyone is interested in taking this idea and turning it into a complete fanfic yourself, then by all means go right ahead and please let me know when I can read the whole thing.
