Hello, Gang of Five!!! I come in peace! :rainbowwave
(Pardon me for a moment while I get super excited over the existence of that Rainbow Face emote: whoever made that, thank you!)
I'm so happy to be here! I've kinda actually known about this site for...heh...years, and I kept meaning to join, but I didn't have much time for social-media-ish stuff at that point in my life. (Plus, weeeelll..I was still kinda nervous about putting my fanart and writing out there. Thankfully I've since gotten past that!) But having watched you guys from afar, I already feel at home now that I'm officially here, haha.
Anyway, the Land Before Time has been with me for so much of my life, where do I even begin?? My favorite childhood toys were a set of plushies of the main characters. The Rainbow Faces (dinosaurs and aliens, my two favorite things combined!) were my idols when I was little. My sewing hobby began when I was a kid because I wanted to create my own LBT plushies. Years later, during the big LBT hiatus, LBT stories became the first fanfics I ever wrote. When Journey of the Brave was finally being released after months of me geeking out in anticipation, I went to Walmart at 1 AM to get my hands on it and watch...
Okay, so I'm a complete diehard fan of everything LBT! Seeing as how a lot of my fanart/fanfiction energy has been focused on this series for ages, I have plenty of material to post, and I can't wait to share my love for this show with you all!
:Mo Squeeeeee!!!
Ahem...uh, don't worry, I'll mellow down eventually. Maybe. Probably. I'm really a sane person, I swear... :facepalm
-
Flathead made that emote. :rainbowwave
But yeah, hello and welcome to the Gang of Five! Sounds like you've been considering for quite a while, so welcome aboard the dinosaur train! We're glad to have you! :chompysmile
-
Welcome RainbowFaceProtege! :rainbowwave
Your devotion to LBT is admirable. I look forward to your fanfics and if you have pics of your sown LBT plushies! I was just talking to @ImpracticalDino about trying to find a Mo :Mo plushie, do you make any? :)
-
Welcome to our gang, Protege! :D
-
welcome to the forum protege. stick around and post lots!
-
Hello and thank you @OwlsCantRead ! (We're gonna ride...the Dinosaur Train! Another old favorite of mine, couldn't resist.) ;)Cera
Thanks @Gentle Sharptooth ! I do indeed have plushie pics, which I plan on showing off in the very near future! I don't have a shop or anything, though--I sew all my stuff by hand, so I'm not confident enough in its durability to be selling it. (Heh heh...Mo was actually the first plushie I ever made...but I was a kid, so let's just say I had a looooong way to go in my sewing abilities.)
Glad to be here @Sneak !
Will do, @Nick22 ! :)littlefoot
-
If you made a Mo plushie I would pau for one. There are none left online.
Dinosaur Train is secret fav of mine too, my nephew got me hooked in his dino phase. I am dino die hard, I love LBT, Disney’s Dinosaur, Jurassic Park/World Franchise, and more. I hope we get LBTXV and that Jurassic World: Dominion does well next year. Dinomania! :p :lol
-
Welcome to the forum!! Hope you enjoy it here. :Mo
I really love that rainbow face emote too :rainbowwave
-
@Gentle Sharptooth if I ever open an Etsy, you'll be the first to know!
Gotta love Jurassic Park! For some reason I never really got into Disney's Dinosaur, though (can't put a finger on why).
Ooh--if we get a LBT XV I'm gonna be thrilled! :^^spike
@jassy Thanks, I have the feeling I will! :rainbowwave
Edit: Nice signature, it's great to see another Rainbow Face fan!
-
I better get an Etsy account. :D
What I love about Disney’s Dinosaur is it introduced me to my favorite dinosaur and carnivour, Carnotaurus.
-
Ha-ha-ha! Oooh, a new member? Welcome, fello-o-o-o-w Mud Brother! :Mo :rainbowwave
I’m glad you decided to take the plunge and join our little humble community, because quite frankly I’m very happy that you did. I love your personality!
You, not a sane person? Well, meet the insane person of then forum! Me! :bestsharptooth
You actually bought a Journey of The Brave DVD at Walmart at 1 AM in the morning? I’m not sure if that’s dedication, crazy, or both. :lol
I can’t wait to see your Mo plushies though!
-
Mo-Plushies! Mo Plushie! Mo Plushie! Sorry.. I’m just so excited. :Mo
-
Hello and welcome to the GoF! :rainbowwave
Yeah it was me who created the ranbow face emote, though you should also thank Mumbling for animating the hand wave!
It's great to see another potential fanartist join our ranks! If you're interested in joining our fanart prompts, you can check out the current one here (https://www.gangoffive.net/index.php?topic=15345.msg506863#msg506863) (as well as see links to earlier ones if you desire). Everyone is welcome to join in on the fun! :chompysmile

Greet job on the RainbowFace emote @Flathead770 !
Never apologize for passion @RainbowFaceProtege. We need more zeal than ever as we wait for LBTXV. :)

Heh, might be jumping the gun a bit there...with the coronavirus wreaking havoc, I don't know when the next time I'll even be brave enough to make a run to the fabric store is! :sducky
Ooh, Carnotaurus is an awesome dino, I'll agree with you there. I love the carnivores that didn't look like T rex or raptor wannabes. :lol
I’m glad you decided to take the plunge and join our little humble community, because quite frankly I’m very happy that you did. I love your personality!
Aw, that's sure kind of you!! :)petrie
Yeah, the DVD...call it crazy dedication? :PAli
@ImpracticalDino and @Gentle Sharptooth you guys are gonna be disappointed when you actually see this Mo...as my first sewing attempt, it looks like I just cut up some Mo-colored felt and stuffed it in a blender. :olittlefoot I'm showing my much more recent projects first!
@Flathead770 Great to meet you! Many thanks to you and @Mumbling for my new favorite emote! :rainbowwave
And I'm definitely planning on participating in the prompts! (That sure was alliterative.)
Never apologize for passion @RainbowFaceProtege. We need more zeal than ever as we wait for LBTXV. :)
:chompysmile Aww, you can count on it! Though I must say I'm starting to lose faith in XV happening, but regardless of whether or not it does, fandom never dies!! :)littlefoot
-
Yeah CV-19 has put a damper on businesses. I pray and hope a cure is soon developed.
Carnotaurs are coolest. Our kind finallly appeared in a Jurassic movie, Jurassic Word: Fallen Kingdom. Even though we were in The Lost World Jurassic Park Novel by Crichton. We even had cloaking abilities. :D
-
@RainbowFaceProtege: Do you ever plan on redoing your first ever Plushie you made as a kid? I would like to see a version of Mo that isn’t "stuffed in a blender" as you describe it. :lol

Hello and welcome to our Great Valley, RainbowFaceProtege. We're always happy to welcome new members to the valley. The fanfic and fanart circles are in particular are rather small, so we'll take as much new blood as we can get.
:)littlefoot
Plus, weeeelll..I was still kinda nervous about putting my fanart and writing out there.
I hear ya. I too get squeamish sometimes when it comes to sharing my work, even to this day.

I will admit that I too am beginning to lose faith in seeing an LBT 15. Here's hoping something comes eventually. Regardless, yes, we do still have a fandom to keep things alive.

Fandom never really dies, it may reside in embers, but with a blow of the wind it can be stoked again. Sorry, got poetic suddenly. :p
-
Hmm...did you guys ever lost faith in an LBT 14 happening? Because remember, it took nine years, from 2007 to 2016 just for another movie to be released. If you didn’t lose faith for that, then I see no reason to lose faith so soon. :yes
But yes, whatever happens, the LBT community lives on! :DD
-
LBTXV will come.. perhaps next year with the last Jurassic Film, Jurassic World: Dominion. *Hopeful*

Poor Mo:
HAHA! :PCera
Yeah, I'm planning on a Mo redo one of these days. Other projects just keep getting in the way.
@rhombus Thank you, I'll be sure to speak up if I have questions. Looking forward to getting into the prompts!
@StardustSoldier Thanks for the welcome, I'll do what I can to liven up those fanart/fanfic sections! ;)Cera

Ah, words to live by... :Mo I do think another movie is always possible, but I recently realized it's been almost five years since Journey of the Brave (already) which doesn't seem promising. Still, fingers crossed!
