And I made it in time after all *whew*
Name of fanfiction: The Land Before Time C: The Last Adventure
Rating: 8/10
Review: I like this story. It shows a rather soft and emotional Cera rather than her usual tough self. The issue with her mum has never been covered in any LBT movie so it's nice to see people take on that in fanfictions.
The story is a bit quick and doesn't have a lot of description (which is due to it being written in script format) but that's okay since the story works really well with the script format here I think.
Name of fanfiction: Friends for Dinner
Rating: 8/10
Review: It's been a while since I read that one but I still remember everything. Chomper's future is a very intensely discussed matter. Will he go evil? Will he stay the Friendly Sharptooth? I think Friends for Dinner has a pretty good and believable answer to that question.
The story is really a cool read and I especially like the sub-plot about Chomper's little son and his *friend*
Name of fanfiction: The Swimmer Trials
Rating: 9/10
Review: I really like this fanfiction and not only because it focusses on my favourite character...
To come up with such a complex set-up for a story is very hard. Many fanfictions are somewhat based on the movies but this one is completely original
I could even see this as a sort of Tv-series (as it would be a bit too long for a single movie without cutting a lot of important scenes)
Anyway, this story has a great villain and a lot of emotional, funny, happy but also action-loaded and dramatic scenes. On top of that, Ducky goes on a very dangerous journey with her mum only in order to search for a legendary swimmer to help Ducky survive the cruel Trial of Destiny for which she has been chosen by the herd's leader and main villain of this story, Sculra.
In addition, I really think The Lone Dragon has done a very good job at throwing in a lot of secondary characters from the sequels without giving the impression that these characters are just getting an appearance for the sake of getting any appearance in theg story. Each character helps (or tries to harm) Ducky in their own way and it always seems to fit in and creates exciting and enjoyable sub-plots.
I particularly like the recent development in the story that Ducky meets a swimmer herd out there and gets herself a little admirer
As well as the scene between Litlefoot and Ali, so sweet
I was a bit hesitant to rate this 9/10 because, comparing to rhombus' fanfictions, the Lone Dragon's writing style isn't as impressive and there are frequent grammar mistakes and typos. I've still decided to rate this 9/10 however because I like the plot so much and because I'm so excited to see how this one continues
Name of fanfiction: The Seven Hunters
Rating: 10/10
Review: I could write a novel here but I'll simply say that this is the best fanfiction I've ever read. Rhombus' writing style is awesome and the plot of this story is simply epic! I'd read those 500000+ words again anytime, yep, yep, yep!
Name of fanfiction: Songs of the Hunters
Rating: 9/10
Review: This is a worthy sequel to the Seven Hunters. I'm not quite up to date on this story but I've read enough (about 10 chapters) of it to vote for it. It's pretty cool to see the Gang and everyone else grown-up, having their own children and the problems childrens sometimes cause with their antics
The writing style is as excellent as in the Seven Hunters and the more episode-like plot is very exciting albeit not as epic as the plot of the Seven Hunters which explains the slightly lower rating.
Besides these *songs* - flashbacks of their past and what happened after the events of the Seven Hinters, that the Gang tell their children, there's also a plot going on in real time. Their children have some interesting... friends. I've only read the beginning of that plot yet but I'm very excited to see what is going to happen there
