Title: Hia! I'm new! ^^
Post by: EggStealerGirl on March 14, 2011, 11:53:13 PM
Heya, there! ^^ I'm new, and of course, a lover of LBT!  :D

I was sort of hesitant in joining at first because I was afraid that people wouldn't be open to my thoughts and ideas...

My interests are drawing, writing fan fiction, rping, and just chatting with friends! ^^

I'm a fan of Pokemon, mainly Grovyle and Luxray, and the new MLP series! I also happen to be the founder of the official MLP: FIM fanclub over on DA!  ;)

If there are two LBT characters that I can't get enough of, it's Ozzy and Strut! Period! I have my own LBT OCs, all of them being Struthiomimus! ^^ Once I get all of them fully developed, I'm hoping to write a fan fiction involving them!

I have a lot of different OCs, but since this is a forum dedicated to LBT, I will only be using my LBT OCs in roleplays!

Well, that's enough about me! I'm hoping to make many new wonderful friends here! ^^

Hiya EggStealerGirl, and welcome to the GOF :wave!  

Members call me by either my user name, CT for short, or my real first name Anna, but any of them are fine with me.  There are a good number of Ozzy and Strut fans on here, and I now they'll be happy to greet one more fan.  We're all very friendly here, so feel free to join in and post lots :)!

Welcome to the forum.  I'm sure you'll enjoy yourself here a lot.  

Besides the LBT rp's there are some here that are not LBT related that you may find an interest in.

Welcome to the GOF! :DD

Another Ozzy and Strut fan, eh? Awesome! :smile As Cancerian Tiger already pointed out, you're in good company; I can think of at least three* other people here who are crazy about those two. (One of them is me; :p Struthiomimus happens to be one of my favorite dinosaurs. :D)

*Actually I can name at least six or seven members who have openly displayed a fondness for Ozzy and/or Strut, though maybe not so strong that they would be called “crazy” about them. :p

Welcome with us EggStealerGirl :)
It is always a pleasure to welcome new members to our community and the more manifold the hobbies the more interesting the discussions in the Gang of Five you are hearty invited to join respectively which you are invited to start of your own :)
Ozzy and Strut are more interesting than some other villains in the land before time as their motives (at least towards the end of LBT 2) may include more thant the rather natural wish to eat and survive (which alone is not exactly enough to qualify a character as a "villain") so Ozzy and Strut offer more possibilities in stories.
What does the abbreviation MLP stand for?

Welcome EggStealerGirl! And what is MLP? We have members from all over the world here, so we may not be familiar with everything a particular culture has to offer (even popular culture is not always global).

LBTDiclonius: Thanks! ^^ I will!  :)

Cancerian Tiger: Don't worry; I'll have a LOT to post! ^^

vonboy: Thank you! ^^ I'm glad you're eager to read my writings!  :D

Kor: Thank you! ^^ I'd be glad to give some of the other role plays on here a try!

Pangaea: That's awesome! ^^ I'm not the only one that likes them, then!  :D One of the reasons I wanted to join here was to make friends with others that share my same likings towards those two! Heh, a lot of my good DA friends weren't really that interested in LBT...

Mumbling: Thank you! ^^

Malte279: You bet they're interesting villains! For the LBT fan fic I'll be writing, it'll be taking place right after the events of the second film!

And as for you and jansenov's question, MLP stands for "My Little Pony."

If you haven't seen the newer series yet, I highly recommend that you check it out; it isn't what you'd expect.

I used them in one story I wrote many years ago (titled the Cold Time) and got plans for them for another story I might write some day (though that may still take a long time seeing that it is the third part of a trilogy of which the first story has only just been started). In any case I recently drew a scene from that story involving the two.
Did you ever draw them? While drawing that scene I mentioned before I noticed how it was pretty much impossible to add the "T cross" to the corners of their mothes without making it look like they were smiling (which they were not supposed to in that scene) or making it look like they were somewhat chubby (which they were not supposed to look like either) :p
Do you know if your story is going to be a strictly LBT story or if it is going to involve elements that would not be part of any LBT movie (e.g. crossing overs, human characters or the like)?

Welcome EGG girl we actually have a couple threads up on MLP, its a lot better than previous Pony series..
Title: Hia! I'm new! ^^
Post by: EggStealerGirl on March 15, 2011, 11:25:10 PM
Malte279: Yes, I saw that deviation, and I thought you did very nice job on drawing them. It must have been very hard for you to draw them without there being any sort of drawing tutorials for them on the internet...

Yes, I draw them a LOT. My drawings of them aren't exactly the best, but I just give my all whenever doing them. There being no drawing tutorials for them, I've developed my own method on drawing Ozzy and Strut, as well as Struthiomimus in general. Mine drawings aren't that exact, but still good.

As for my fan fiction, it is going to be strictly LBT based. No human characters involved. I have done a bit of a LBT rp with my friend on another forum, and he used his Dinotopia OC, Jake Scott, in the rp.

Serris: Thanks! ^^ I will!  :)

Nick22: Yeah, I think I've sort of noticed that. ^^ I've actually done a deviation of Ozzy and Strut ponyized if anyone is curious of seeing it.

SupperChickin: Thanks! I'll try my best! =)

Theres a lot of people doing weird lbt fan fiction with humans, magical beings, epic wars between flatteeth and sharptooth, and other crap that would never make since in the lbt world. I'm not really complaining that much though. I do love the ones with a single human coming to their time and having to figure out a way to communicate with and befriend the dino's. There was this one old star trek/lbt crossover that I LOVED.

There is not that many strictly lbt fan fictions, so more would be appreciated.
Title: Hia! I'm new! ^^
Post by: EggStealerGirl on March 17, 2011, 11:09:41 PM
Kor: In a way I am. ^^

vonboy: Question; does the whole human factor apply to the LBT role plays on this forum? I'm not asking this for me, but for a friend on another forum who may want to become a member here.
Title: Hia! I'm new! ^^
Post by: Kor on March 17, 2011, 11:30:16 PM
Not sure what you mean, but there is an rp now I'm in going on where some GOF members wind up in the great valley.    Most of them appear in dino forms, and or can change between human and dino.  I think some may be remaining in human form.

There's another one I'm in that also has some humans in it.  Not sure about other rp's, there are a lot I"m not in.
Title: Hia! I'm new! ^^
Post by: vonboy on March 17, 2011, 11:31:05 PM
Idk, theres some lbt rp's that have humans in them and some that don't.

I think Nick meant to say “random” but accidentally left out the “m”.

To answer your question, there are two different sections for RPs on this forum. “Land Before Time RPG” is for the strict LBT RPs; the ones without non-LBT elements (no humans, aliens, wars, time travel, etc.). “Random Role Play” is for non-LBT RPs and LBT RPs with non-LBT elements. Any LBT RPs with human characters would be in this section.

Thanks for clearing that up Kor. I'm still pretty new, so I really don't know that much.

I have a feeling you are going to be friends with an egg-stealer fan here...

Anyhow, my apologies to the delayed welcome, I hope you are enjoying your stay here on the LBT forum. :)

If you want some info about an rp you can look in the Role Play Discussion section , usually the info the gm posts on what the rp will be about is on the first page.  Often basic info may be in their first post.  With some folks asking questions maybe.  

Some like the insane cafe may not be as informative since it is a continual rp and this one is just the latest part or chapter.  Though you can ask on the discussion page itself about some info, or pm the person who started the thread for some information if you want or need some.
