Inwanted to have Chapter 2 done by now, but this week really shook me around, health-wise (and I was distracted by the Curse Marathon) but I aim to get a good chunk of it done tomorrow! So, next chapter soon, I guess!

Finally wasn't busy and got to read chapter 1. I loved it! Love the interactions between the kits and I like Ravenkit. Sounds like how I react sometimes to someone wanting to play a game.

I'm really glad you liked it, Mint! I chose to focus a lot more on the relationship between the three kits this time around, so I'm really pleased people are enjoying it.
Yep, I agree XD Ravenkit is the character most similar to myself.

Seeing that relationship is pretty cute! Ravenkit is the closest to me as well. Probably, if I was a cat in warriors, I'd be a medicine cat or at least like helping them. xD

Don't be scared!
In fact, I'll give you a little teaser... I taught myself to draw people specifically for this announcement.

mintedstar/fur🦇 » ѕнαdσω ⚔️ ᴛᴜᴇsᴅᴀʏ ... I'm sure there's more people I should be tagging....I have a bad track record of getting fantastic ideas at really inconvenient times... such as finally working out how to proceed with a storyline in the lead to exams... But, I'm excited, and I've hyped you all up, so I see no point in delaying this announcement.
THE BIG ANNOUNCEMENT
RTD IS BEING HUMANISED! I mentioned this months ago, how I wanted to turn this into a real story, not just a fanfiction, many months ago. The problem was, however, that I had no idea how to proceed. But, inspiration struck not too long ago while I was walking my dog (such a wonderful time to think) and I have finally, finally, worked out how to shape this into something tangible.
It started as a dream, and a vivid one at that. I was me, but not me - playing a part, spat times it felt more like a movie than a dream.
I dreamed of a sprawling cityscape, a distinctive fantasy setting, filled with people and crawling with guards. I knew that I had to get somewhere, or find something (or accomplish an equally impossible task) without being seen... or captured... or killed. I had a parter I didn't trust, and a pet wolf that I did.
I got the sense that the character I was playing was angry and bitter, yet determined to achieve their goal at any cost. My dream-character failed, however, to achieve that goal as I was rudely woken by my alarm. Nevertheless, it was a vivid enough dream to leave a lasting impression - I woke shortly after dream-character's face was shoved into the dirt, and when I woke up, I swore I could still taste it. Moreover, when I dream, I remember feelings. Vividly. Which was why, days later, I found myself thinking about the dream-character. Why we're they angry? Who were they angry at? What were they running to? Or from? Because I am a writer (and at the time was in desperate need of a distraction) I began to form (yet another) OC.
I decided that this new character was searching for acknowledgement from a father that refused to give it. I decided that this character was running from a shifty past, and desperately sought that reconciliation in order to feel that everything hadn't been in vain. I decided that they had a pet wolf because they no longer trusted people. They were quiet, calculating, determined, and disguised self-pity and uncertainty behind an extreme dedication to the task at hand.
It was then I realised that this character seemed awfully familiar. I could no longer tell if I was creating a new character, or just describing an old one. Storm and whoever I'd just created were one and the same.
After months of writers block, I'd finally worked out how to proceed with the humanised version of RtD. It all began to unfold - the setting, the society, the characters...
I have such a clear vision for this story now, as an independent novel, rather than fanfiction, and I'm pleased to say its all beginning to take shape, and it's rapidly becoming one of my larger-scale projects, second only to my beloved comic. The aim is to work on the fan fiction and original story side by side, much like shadow does with Curse. I will continue to release RtD chapters, with a sneak peak or concept dump accompanying every third or fourth chapter, depending on how quickly everything comes together. Hopefully, by the time the fan fiction is nearing its end, I will be ready to begin writing the humanised novel.
The working title of the humanised version is Corvidae, in homage to the ravens of RtD.
Also I taught myself to draw humans just so I can sketch the characters, so once I've got some more free time I'll post those

OH MY GOD DINGO THAT IS SO EXCITING AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I'm so happy and thrilled! Such a big break through!! BTW That dream sounds awesome :'O Came at a wonderful time, eh? lol I just had this feeling that you were gonna burst through that writers block in a big way. RTD has always captured my imagination, even though not much has been written between the new and the old RTD.
If you ever need help with your project, or want some tips on how to balance and keep straight your fan-fiction and human novel, just let me know. <3
SQUEEEEEE THIS IS SO COOL *screams into heavens*

At times I get jittery with excitement because I have so many good ideas, but no time to work on them. I keep my notebook close by, though, and scribble everything down as it comes. It was an awesome dream. I was a little sad when I woke up, actually XD Yep. A wonderful time, because I have so much free time at the moment -.-
Aw <3 I'm so glad you thought so! I was really starting to doubt it for a while, but nope. My dreams beg to differ.
I'm sure I'll require help at some stage! I'll be sure to hit you up!
(Also thanks for raising an army of fans tagging all the people I forgot XD)

🎃 Wooh! This is great this is deja vu. Same thing happened with my Will story, down to the vivid details. I'm so glad you've busted through the writers block! Can't wait to see where this goes!
Oh... by the way. I wanted to state this, because I wanted to see what you thought. But remember that birthday gift I gave you? Well, I entered it into a real life art contest and it won best of show!
