This is not a fan fiction nor fan art. Nonetheless, this still seems like the best section for it. The theme is purely LBT fan work, after all. I saw an original character version of this, so I was inspired to do a fan character version of the idea. Like this thread’s predecessors, this is to discuss which LBT characters you’d like to meet and why. However, this thread is purely to discuss which fan fiction characters you’d like to meet and why. If you want to talk about an original character, I believe there are at least two threads elsewhere where such can be done.
Years ago, I was being silly and actually mentioned a fan fiction character in one of those threads. This time, I wanted to make an official place for such preferences, especially with the “GoF fan fiction boom” over the last several months. Please name the character, the type, what fan fiction he or she is from, and why you’d like to meet her. The author isn’t as needed as those since a lot of LBT fan fictions were not written by GoF members, so not everyone here is going to recognize every author. I may post here later when I recall some other ones, but here is my list to start:
Rita the longneck from Sharptooth Valley. She was a motherly kind of character and is very kind, friendly, calm, and logical. Her presence just makes you feel better. She just has this air about her that can calm you down and cheer you up. If she has kids, it’s very easy to see her trying to stop her kids from fighting while staying very serene and not harshly punishing them. That is not to say she would not be a strong parent, but rather, she could handle things so sweetly and wisely that her kids wouldn’t even need punishments to get things through their heads. She is my favorite LBT fan fiction character.
Shilva the sharptooth from Someone Like Me. Oddly enough, he is a peaceful sharptooth who avoids all fighting he feels is unnecessary, actually doing everything he can to stop a battle with an original character when that character attacked him first when Shilva could have easily won. I enjoy characters that go against the norms of their kind, especially if the difference can be viewed as admirable. With his nature, were I in that universe, I’d imagine we could have a friendly chat.
Rex the dracovol from Out of the Shadows. He is very easy-going, tries to be helpful, and puts a strong value on friendship. However, he has an inner struggle that consumes him for a while, something I can truly understand. He hates seeing others get hurt and struggles with being different at times. I think chats with him would really be good for the both of us to let things out. He presses on despite the challenges and so has my admiration.
