Where did you get the inspiration for the fanfic?
To be honest, I always wanted to create a Land Before Time Fanfiction, but nothing really took off. However, after viewing the TV Series Episode, The Brave Longneck Scheme, something just clicked.
The idea of Littlefoot&Ali&Ret was born. Seeing this, I thought to myself, "How horrible it must be for Ali to have two males going after her." Which then spawned several different ideas.
One of them was definitely the fanfic, The Adventures of Littlefoot and Ali.
There is deeper detail to it as well. I noted two things people did not approve of with The Brave Longneck Scheme that I wanted to change in the fanfiction. Ali's return was the first. I really couldn't do much with it since it was a continuation of the episode. So, I chose to do something that they could be happy with and not really ask much more of me. I feel I have accomplished that when I made a way for her to return by fate/destiny/whatever you want to call it, and I couldn't have done any better really.
The second was Ret. Everyone hated his character, his attitude, but most of all, they hated how he pretty much was with Ali. So, I decided that the events of The Brave Longneck Scheme had changed him for the better. And, well, it just seemed to work. Everyone approves of the newer version of him, despite certain things in the end.
People still hate him in some areas, which I must admit are hard to actually like, but I can't get rid of him even if I wanted to. He's just too important to the story. WAY too important. So, sorry Ret haters, but he's staying.
Next question, please!
