The Land Before Time Journey Across Time

The Land Before Time: Journey Across Time(TLBTJAT for short) is a series of Land Before Time based adventure stories written and published by Belmont2500.

Beginning
Belmont2500 first published The Land Before Time: Journey Across Time on February 10th 2009, shortly after he registered to become a member of Fanfiction.net, the story was then known as The Land Before Time Unleashed, the story told the tale of a boy named Ethan Sullian, who was living a normal life in California, until one day he is whisked away by a time rift and when he wakes up, he is in the Great Valley, not to mention the sword he carried had turned from wood to steel (Belmont2500 originally saw the sword Ethan carried to be useless in Ethan's world but useful in the Prehistoric era, this was later abandoned).

Soon after Ethan meets a young apatosaurus in the Valley outskirts, this apatosaurus turns out to be Littlefoot, from there onward Ethan goes and meets some of the Great Valley's residents, from Littlefoot's grandparents to the gang of five until one day at the thundering falls Raptors attack and Ethan ends up defeating them and being regarded as a hero.

The story then describes a mysterious cloaked figure going into the the sparta and recruiting the spartans, this cloaked figure is later revealed to be the story's antagonist, Andrew Jones.

Afyer a long meeting, the story ends with a large battle and with Ethan defeating Andrew before heading back to his home in 2009, the story then discribes that even though this journey ended Ethan knew he would return.

Reception
The original Land Before Time Journey Across Time recieved mostly misxed reviews by other Fanfiction.net members, many said it seemed rushed and seemed to similar to Jedi472's Star Wars & The Land Before Time : A Jedi's Destiny, others said that it the plot was no doubt epic and the action and fight scenes were creative but many characters were out of character, something that would be fixed in the sequels and the rewrite.

Sequel
Only two weeks after he published it, Belmont2500 pulled The Land Before Time Journey Across Time off of Fanfiction.net but five weeks later, published a sequel, which was at first called The Land Before Time Unleashed II Redemption, it was later renamed to The Land Before Time Journey Across Time II Redemption. TLBTJAT2 received mostly positive reviews unlike its predecessor, and although it did get some negative reviews, it is still considered one of Belmont2500's best. Belmont2500 would go on to publish The Land Before Time Journey Across Time III: Two Worlds and The Land Before Time Journey Across Time IV: The Dark Lord, Belmont2500 is currently working on TLBTJAT5 alongside his reimagining of the original TLBTJAT.

Prequel
Just three weeks after the success of The Land Before Time Journey Across Time II, Belmont2500 wrote a prequel to the TLBTJAT series, its title originally was The Land Before Time Unleashed 0: Origins but it was later renamed, TLBTJAT0 featured a new protagonist named Nick Frost, who was briefly mentioned in TLBTJAT2, and was set in 1997, eleven years before the original TLBTJAT, the story starts off with the sun rising over a California neighborhood, a slight reference to the original TLBTJAT, later Nick is taken by a time rift, mentioned as the first time rift and wakes up to three adult apatosaurs looking down at him, they turn out to be Littlefoot's mother (who's name is revealed to be Savannah) and his grandparents, Nick introduces himself to them and Littlefoot's mother tells him that they are going to the Great Valley, over the course of the story, a relationship forms between Nick and Savannah/Littlefoot's mother, it is also revealed that Nick was one of the characters (the others being Bron, Grandpa Longneck and Littlefoot's Mother herself) who came up with Littlefoot's name.

TLBTJAT0 ends when Nick saves Savannah's life at the cost of his own, and is taken back to 1997, where he succumbs to his wounds, however before dying, Nicks passes the sword he had in the story to a four-year-old Ethan, a young Ada Erwin, a character who appeared in the second sequel, also appears.

The prequel was almost as successful as TLBTJAT2, although some reviewers complained about the shortage of action scenes, Belmont2500 explained that this Land Before Time:Journey Across Time was a drama story, not an adventure story.

Rewrite
After the release of The Land Before Time Journey Across Time IV, many members complained about the huge gap between TLBTJAT0 and TLBTJAT2, seeing that this was the same gap that appeared the second the original TLBTJAT went off Fanfiction.net, Belmont2500 decided to rewrite the story, currently chapters 1,2,3 and 4 are up but many readers can already see the massive differance between the original and the rewrite.

Crossovers
Since The Land Before Time Journey Across Time II: Redemption, there have been many crossovers in the series, mostly TLBTJAT4.

Posters
Many posters and propaganda have been made by Belmont2500, although most of it is rarely released on the internet.
