LBT Fanfiction / Mary-sues
« on: October 07, 2008, 01:21:00 PM »
I will admit my first fan fiction efforts were horribly Mary Sue. Now I know better. :)

I've found an interesting article on Mary Sue and self-insertion, and I consult it before I write one line of fan fiction.

Do I still read Mary Sueist fanfics? Sometimes, if the character is not that distracting from the overall plotline. Do I trash others' Mary Sue stories? Not really since I've gotten bashed myself. Then again, such criticism if taken well will spark the writer's imagination and creativity that much more. Better characters, please, not one-dimensional, boring, cookie-cutter Mr and Ms Perfect who never suffer as much as a hangnail.

Character Discussion / Bron
« on: September 23, 2008, 09:38:13 PM »
Of all the LBT sequels, X is my favorite, and it "connects the dots" (if not all of them) from the original 1988 movie.
I agree that Bron is cool but what makes him cool? Maybe it's that inner strength, the compassion, and the fun loving side. Hey aren't these the same qualities as Littlefoot's mom?

BTW does Littlefoot's mom have a name?

I read this thread from the beginning and noticed some sharp observations Re: apatosaurus. Doesn't the name mean "deceptive lizard"?

LBT Fanfiction / Insane Crossover Concept Thread
« on: September 20, 2008, 11:35:44 PM »
LBT meets All My Children.
A bored Cera falls into a deep hole which is really a time warp. She ends up in Pine Valley where the Fusion ladies instantly adopt her as their mascot. They even create a perfume named after Cera. Meantime, Opal, reading the Tarot, foresees grave danger for the Great Valley gang. Will Tad and Jesse find the time warp and save the dinosaurs in time? Will Cera remain behind as Kendall's best gal pal or return to her family?
Will Tad take his nemesis Adam Chandler along for the ride only to leave him in the Mysterious Beyond? How will Cera's dad feel about another blowhard in the Great Valley?

Tune in tomorrow...  :lol:

1988 Theatrical Release / Does LBT make you cry?
« on: September 20, 2008, 11:00:09 PM »
Does LBT make me cry? Of course it does, and even to this day. Not too many movies actually move me to tears and LBT is right in there with them. Littlefoot's mom dying, Littlefoot's grieving process, and when it seemed the Sharptooth ate Petrie. I still catch myself misting up. :)

I have been a follower of LBT ever since I saw the original film back in 1988.  It's nice to see a place that has the same devotion to the franchise that I do.   :)

I also write fanfics in my spare time...some of my ideas are a little out there, but I still like to try them out and see what people think.  

It's a pleasure to meet you all  :D
Hi Ozymandias!

Good to see more LBT fans out there. :) I've loved LBT since '88 and still follow the franchise. So you write out of the box fanfics. I'd love to read some of your stuff. Mine is pretty much out there, and I like to mix it up - a lot! :lol:

Welcome to the GOF.

I haven't posted here since introducing myself last summer. So here I am. :) I've been very busy -- back to work, helping my mom clear up 40+ years of stuff, and generally trying to keep my sanity while maintaining 3 sites. I'm still working on my mega crossover fan fiction (which includes the LBT gang amid others).

So I just dropped by to check in. :lol: I'll try to post a little more often.

:) Hi folks! I just joined today. I've been an LBT fan since 1988. In fact, and though I'm no kid (I'm a baby boomer), I own several of the DTV DVD's. I play them every chance I get. Such sweet stories, well defined and memorable characters, and timeless themes.
BTW jedi427 told me about your forum, so I'm so glad I'm here. :)
