I'd actually like to see art of Ducky and Petrie from this story. Maybe the scene where they confess or just of them spending time together as a couple.

Hi! I've just come to say that I completely support your decision. As difficult as it is to set aside a project, fanfic writing when you don't have a real passion for it is the worst and a real chore, and from my experience has only made me stressed and frustrated and soured me from the source material. I'm glad to see you've come to terms with your situation, hopefully you'll feel a lot more relieved with this off your plate, especially in such a busy time in your life.

For scene suggestions? Maybe a short resolution pic to loosely close the story. Show Littlefoot and Ruby happily ever after I guess, like a wedding, a date, or just a casual happy moment? Whatever rocks your boat. Just don't force yourself to do anything if you don't feel like doing it.

Anyway, thanks again for everything you have written. It has been a wonderful experience reading your story to this point and you are a really good writer. Cheers )

Hello, very pleased to hear from you again! Just seeing that you update this made me feel happy. First off, I really appreciate your honesty and candor here. It really shows your commitment to the readers, and I find your plotting struggles beyond a few scenes all too familiar, hence I am guilty of writing a few one or two-chapter fanfics that I didn’t have enough ideas for that will collect dust forevermore ... Ah well.

Can more than understand the writer’s block! I’ve had one that I didn’t return to in … I think six months or something? As well as the blank mind stare. Especially when life offline is going on! I’ll gladly offer some ways I’ve dealt with this if you want, but I’ll save that for a PM if you want so as not to clog this up. If you drop the story, I would more than understand, but if you continue writing, I would be glad to see what you have to offer!

Ah yes, your artwork! I’d love to see more of those pieces, or a comic. Your art is always so charming and puts me in a good mood, so I’ll be on the lookout if you go that route. It still amazes me how you’re able to do it so well, of course I can’t even color neatly, heeheehee.

I’d like to see more if you decide to write of course! But if not, I will give you one last of my reviews here for your segment. Enjoy!

Ooh, love seeing Chomper and Ruby’s carnivore sides! The vivid descriptions make me think of sizzling meat on the grill all right, and make me hungry when I shouldn’t be … Curious as to Ruby’s thanks to the creature that gave its life, it’s something LBT doesn’t really delve into in the canon. Eek! Mr. Threehorn! It doesn’t look as though he saw them actually eating … But if they have blood on their faces … Yikes!

And your notes for Ch. 9 look intriguing, lots of emotional development hinted at in the previous chapters really starts coming to the surface.

No matter what you choose to do, I’ll support and be there for you. Cheers, and just seeing you again made my day!

I'm surprised you're less of a writer, your writing is always so I never thought you had it so hard, it shows you're good with your writing, I guess you just have to plan more from now on, I'm less good with writing do to being French, but I always plan for the beginning and the end of a story, however do to doing that it's the middle I struggle with, whatever you choose it's up to you at the end, either continue or drop it.

Good story when is the next chapter

Ah Shorty, you're a pain in everyone's side but we love ya! Ha!
I swear if he met Cera first they probably be best friends. (also basing on how he was impressed by Cera's skills in The Great Migration movie lol)

Makes me happy seeing Shorty getting some love for once.
Instead, being just "Littefoot's brother" he gets to be in the group!
That's another rare thing in stories!

Appreciate you showing Ducky losing her composure. Great reminder she has such emotions. The Big Freeze is one of my favorite Land Before Time movies. And that take on Ducky was interesting.

I had a feeling Topsy was the reason for Cera's actions.
Still sucks for her though. She's definitely one for value of her friends.
It's a shame her friends are growing up looking for romance. The Gang of Seven already dented.
Leaving Chomper, Spike and Cera herself not interested finding a partner at the moment. Kinda like a shoutout to the first chapter, reminded me their group is dissolving and she's see it.
For her sake, the end will be worth the struggle.

Ya know, if this chapter and The Forbidden Friendship TV episode was any hint, I think she'll be a fine leader seeing how Cera puts some thought into whether or not it's the right idea to make the call.

I didn't except a upload in December seeing how it's the busy season.
Don't mean I don't appreciate it all the same. And in case the next chapter doesn't come in the same month well, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Couldn’t help but laugh at Ducky delivering that very Cera-esque line about the rematch, and even funnier to hear Littlefoot call her out over it. Ah, I see Cera’s thoughts are impacting her performance … Just love seeing Ali and Shorty playing together with the gang too! Love how you keep their fun, childlike spirits alive and illustrate the contrast with their older bodies. Geez, Cera’s really blown a gasket this time hahaha … Something’s got me thinking it’s not just the game.

Ah. Mr. Threehorn is not minding his own business … Sigh … Feeling delight to see that Cera is doing her best for her friends after all. Oof … You really did a great job describing Topps’ menacing stare! That accusatory tone, plus how he’s trying to coax Cera into spilling … Eek … Ah, does Cera want a partner too? Ooh, love this role for Cera! You’ve really gotten her into a great jam here. You’ve got me really excited here for what’s next! All right, take care!

Stop being fuckin racist Cera you're why we can't have nice things

I'm going to take a guess Aalok will be use by his family. I too almost forgot that's Littlefoot's name least by them. Heh.

Is it wrong I enjoy these misunderstandings with Littlefoot and Ruby? I find it unintentionally comedic.
Littlefoot trying to win her over and yet Ruby already likes him!
Still, even if he assumes Ruby doesn't, I'd say it was a success getting her to smile!
Shame mother nature got other plans with that cliché not that I mind it! Haha!

Chomper's such a bro now that he knows what's going on!
Love that purple dino boy!

It was bound to happen that Topsy would be aware. Least Cera gave Littlefoot a heads up. I can see she still cares if it wasn't clear enough, this chapter (9) somewhat confirms it.

Ali seems a bit aggressive at the end there. Very curious.

It maybe 'short' it's still fun chapter to read! No worries!
I'm just happy seeing Littlefoot taking action getting Ruby alone for a minute or two for that 'spot'! (With Chomper's help of course~)

[Side note I noticed on the review page mentioning about Shorty. Not sure what they meant. Or I'm just completely clueless when focusing on the main character's point of view.]

I was just wondering when your story might be back! And no need to worry about chapter length … Anyway, off to the review!

Welp, Grandpa’s being pushy, and I have a sinking suspicion what might be up to … Neat seeing Ali and Shorty talking. Shorty’s comment really made me laugh about screaming my name, and Littlefoot’s response was just precious. Really love how Littlefoot seems to want to stay true to himself. Gosh, I know Ali is trying to help, but could she have said anything worse? Sigh … Thank god Shorty is there to change the subject. Love how you’re balancing Ali, with both showing her as kind and supportive, yet also how she has a very different cultural upbringing from Littlefoot which would lead to lots of natural misunderstandings like this – not nearly enough people go into or appreciate this latter aspect! Love how you write Shorty so much! Hmm, something else on his mind … And we can tell it’s not what the grownups want! *evil cackle*

Oh my gosh, Littlefoot’s going to see Ruby! Squee! Is he finally going to ask her out?! Feeling concerned for Chomper of course too, really love how you’re tying in the changing seasons here. You really have some nice ideas! Love how Ruby surprised Littlefoot like that! So cute! Ooh … The suspense is building! I’m reading very slowly, steadily wondering is Littlefoot going to do it? Hmm, something to show her? That sounds really sweet. Had to laugh with Chomper playing matchmaker. Totally seems like something he'd do! And just love the near psychic connection the two of them have. Poor Littlefoot misunderstanding the situation ... Again, feels really appropriate for sensitive Littlefoot to feel this way. And love how you explore Ruby’s unique social position in the Valley and how she’s not treated fairly. Oh my gosh, I love how you describe Ruby’s movements so beautifully. Your affection for her really shows! Littlefoot is such a romantic! And love how Ruby, so careful to conceal her emotions for so long, is beginning to show signs of cracking! Is she going to …

Bah! Rotten earthshakes! Also … What does Cera’s dad know about? Scared to ask. Really getting the impression Cera seems scared too and showing her fear in a very Cera-ish way. Ali really is such an outsider to the gang's interactions lol! And I’m getting the impression Ali’s trying to court Littlefoot …. Poor Ruby. So close, and yet not quite there yet …

Yet another lovely chapter, and again, while there's so much I love about your work, perhaps the one thing that I adore the most is I just really love the way you write Ruby. You really make her character come to life so wonderfully!

Late to party. But perfer "reviewing" as a whole then per chapter.
So I guess it's good time as any I suppose.

Really liking it so far.
Ruby always seems to be mature fir her age compare to the rest of the gang even Littlefoot for that matter.

Snice this story isn't exactly completely age up (adulthood)
This one is far interesting. I give props to that.

I like the way you did to Cera so far.
Feels more to her character then outright become like her father or made her a complete nuisance for sake being spiteful.

I like the little joke about ship between Littlefoot and Cera in one of the chapters almost wrote off like a self aware kinda thing.
(ngl I was/still ship but not the point of this)

Speaking of which, the idea Littlefoot and Ruby being together actually makes sense. For one reason or another.

Ruby being concern what may happened is understandable.
That making Littlefoot wants to talk to her all the more tense.

I actually WOULD expect even if Littlefoot admits his feelings to her.
Ruby will try to talk to him out of it.
It's obvious Littlefoot already in deep of this and try to change Ruby's thinking.

Either way I'm already invested.
You have my thanks for being one of many made me LOVE the idea Littlefoot and Ruby being together!

Great chapter

LET THEM KISS ALREADY LET THEM KISS FUCK CERA AND HER RACIST DAD

Good chapter

Ooh, a Chomper-Ruby talk! Hmm … I’ve been dying to see what Ruby’s been thinking, and maybe Chomper will be just the one who can get her to open up. The phrase “omnivorous companion” makes me feel warm inside. It shows Chomper and Ruby’s special bond as being among the few non-conventional leafeaters in the Valley. Ooh … Just love seeing her pace and her obliviousness to the world around her, showing just how deep she’s thinking. Very good imagery which gets a screenshot in my head. Wow, it’s interesting to hear Chomper so serious! Just loving seeing his attempts to get her attention and how close the two of them are. Plus Ruby’s contemplative side … So awesome how you’re showing that here. Immediately gets me thinking, “Yep, that’s Ruby!” My heart’s going out to Chomper here … Just hear how pitying he is. Aww … So cute to see him hugging her!

Love how much Ruby is trying to hold back yet Chomper is doing great at being encouraging her. I love how she’s finally opening up to him. The two of them have a great bond, and after all her caretaking for him, the tables have finally turned and he’s taking care of her … Sniffle … I had a feeling Ruby was feeling a lot more than she’s letting on, and love to see that Ruby is finally taking at least a few little steps closer …

Love too how Littlefoot is consumed with his thoughts. Even contemplating Ruby staying in the Mysterious Beyond ... You can feel how bad he’s feeling in there. Especially with how uncharacteristically clumsy he is. Yay, he’s getting closer! It looks like we’re finally beginning to make a little progress! Poor Littlefoot … With Ruby being so cryptic, it’s hard to imagine what she might say.

Yay, Ruby told Chomper! Didn’t know if she would … And just love seeing Chomper being supportive and immediately opening up to the two of them being together! Love how you add the diet factor in here too. Adds a whole nother layer of complexity to the matter. Love also how Ruby so carefully considers everything too. She’s probably already on thin hard water for her diet, excellent contrast between her maturity and Chomper’s innocence. Ooh, Chomper came up with a really good idea! Love how he’s persistently nudging her along … And while she’s still not comfortable, Chomper’s already got her quite a ways from the start of the chapter. Love Chomper and Ruby’s playful interaction at the end! Aww … Such a cute sleep scene ).
