Wow, so many new members within a week! Awesome!
Welcome to The Gang Of Five, Jim Gamma!
(Do you prefer people to use your full name, or is just “Jim” or “Gamma” okay?
)
OK, so I watched some of the LBT movies back in '05 or '06, and then this Christmas, I got all of them. I've now watched them all inside of a month, plus I've now seen the TV series...
...so, is TLBT Overdose a recognised medical illness?
I don't think so, but that sounds an awful lot like what I went through in December 2008–January 2009 after I rediscovered LBT.
I'll try to avoid the most obvious pitfalls of newbie-dom (such as asking about the future of the series)... instead, I'll ask what recommendations people have - any good fanfics out there, for example?
If you haven't seen them already, I highly recommend
Rise of Storm Tide and
Far Away Home by Caustizer. There's also
The Cold Time by Malte279 (written before LBT VIII came out). He'd warn you himself that the story is imperfectly translated from his native German, but if you can look past that, it's excellent.
Then there are a number of shorter stories by FlipperBoidSkua (uniquely focusing on the unseen dimensions of some of the series' villains), including
One Time Thing,
Betting Game,
Being the Bigger Sharptooth, and
Guilty Until Proven Innocent. Two more that I feel I would be unfairly leaving out if I didn't mention them are
Quest for the Energy Stones and
Quest for the Mask of Life by The Chronicler. Both are crossovers between LBT and
Bionicle, and are surprisingly well done, in my opinion.
There's also a whole lot of fantastic LBT artwork from such creative minds as
Sky,
Ptyra,
DarkWolf91,
Mumbling,
Malte279,
Vek,
FlipperBoidSkua, and even humble little old
me.
One more thing: authors and artists here LOVE reviews of their work.
