Character Showcase 2020: The Year of the Antagonist

(1/4) > >>

rhombus:
Good evening, everyone!

We admins were quite impressed with this year's Character Showcase.  It attracted a lot of discussion and reminiscing about our favorite characters.  For this reason the Character Showcase will be making a triumphant return this year. :yes

We have decided that 2020 will be the year of the LBT antagonist.  From the terrifying Sharptooth, to the ineffectual sharptooth in LBT VI, to the misunderstood (at the time) parents of Chomper in LBT II, they will all be getting a showcase this year.

So without further commentary, here are the rules for the 2020 Character Showcase!
.
.
.
Beginning on January 1, 2020 we will be celebrating our favorite Land Before Time antagonists through the return of the forum's character showcase!  :)littlefoot  Each month one of the major villains or antagonists from the LBT series will be showcased on the forum’s news header, will be featured in our active topic buttons, and will have a special showcase topic dedicated to them.

These showcase topics are not meant to be overly formal matters but rather are supposed to be open for fanworks and discussion about these characters.  That being said there are some basic rules for posting in these topics that will be enforced to keep things moving smoothly:


The characters to be showcased:
Jan: Sharptooth
Feb: Ozzy and Strut
March: Dil and Ichy
April: ME! The great Rhett!
May: Rinkus & Sierra
June: Pterano
July: Domeheads from film 1
August: Chomper's Parents
September: the useless sharptooth from LBT 6
October: Redclaw, Screech, and Thud
November: The Bullies from LBT 3
December: Alternative character interpretation: The Gang


Rules:
1.Within each showcase topic, people can discuss the characters, post fanart of them, or post short fanfics concerning them.

2. To prevent the topic from being overburdened with long posts, any fanfic concerning the featured character should either be limited to less than 1500 words, or, if the story is longer than that, you should host it on a fanfiction hosting site and link it here with a brief description of the story. 

3. There will be no set contest for the resulting fanfics and fanart in the showcase topic (this is just for fun), but they can be cross-submitted to the respective prompt challenges if they also qualify for the active monthly prompt for that challenge. For details on those challenges, and to check what the requirements for those are, you can find the fanfic prompt challenge rules here, and the fanart prompt challenge page here. Also, regardless of qualification, the resulting showcase fanfics will be added to the fanfic prompt challenge masterlist as an addendum so that they can be recorded for posterity.

4. The showcase topic will not prevent the discussion of other characters elsewhere in the forum, but the discussion and fanworks in the showcase topic should be limited to the featured character.

5. And, of course, the usual forum rules shall apply.

I'm sure everyone will be talking about Ducky, that's for sure... :duckyhappy



And on a side note, I hope next year's Character Showcase incorporates all the slots for the other good secondary characters, since 2019 only went from Feb - Nov. I don't why there wasn't a character showcased for Dec in 2019, but whatever. And yes, I know it was only the first year of Character Showcase.

Sneak:
Don't forget Littlefoot from original movie.

ImpracticalDino:
I felt bad for Ducky in the first movie. She was literally the first one chosen by Littlefoot as “live bait” for the Sharptooth, and for some reason Petrie and Spike also looked to her with grinning faces. Of course it had to be the most innocent and adorable one taking up the most dangerous task of all. Yes, it was necessary but pretty mean. :(

So arguably, based from that alone, all of them have a small antagonistic side. :olittlefoot
