This is like Sunbreeze's Warriors Fanfiction pet peeves thread, but the opposite, what are your favorite things to see in a Warriors fanfic?

I think I've always had a soft spot for fics taking place soon after the events of The Last Hope. That's actually how I started reading fanfictions, I was left wanting more after OOTS ended so I would look up fics to sort of fill the void. I've read some really good ones like this, actually. Here's something funny, I remember reading one that basically predicted AVOS. It involved SkyClan returning to the lake followed by a group of rogues invading the clans just like in AVOS except it was written years before AVOS was released lol.
I think generally just anything featuring existing characters that aren't butchered too bad is good for me, I like seeing what people do with them, especially if the story revolves around background characters who get little to no attention in the books.
Certain AUs are really fun to read as well.

I don't really read fanfics that much, but I do write a bit of OC based ones, so it's a relief that people like them.

OC-filled fics with well-formed, simple OC Clans work for me because it shakes off all that baggage of having to keep up with the nightmare that is canon Clan history. It’s easier for both the reader and author.

I also write OC Clans and characters for Warriors. I have an entire series almost done. I just can't bring myself to write from somebody else' character's POV. It's hard for me to really write with a character that isn't my own

That’s exactly why. Sometimes I would get an AU idea but it was too much to write while keeping in mind on what I would be changing, so I would either do a clean slate or set the time way into the distant future where canon doesn’t matter anymore.

Distant future is a good idea, I once tried writing a fic that took place in the Missing Generation era, it had when Mapleshade was an apprentice, Flamepelt from Tallstar's Revenge was a kit, and a whole lot of OC characters. So it was like a mix of canon/non-canon characters I guess

As with all the fandoms I'm in I enjoy most fics with nifty ideas, creative AUs and good writing. I don't really read Warriors fanfiction, but I did read bits and pieces of this one TPB rewrite series that I quite enjoyed, I think it's still ongoing. I may read it in its entirety later. I can still remember some of the events and changes that happened, some of them sound wonky on paper but the author made it work since I believe it's decently popular: - Fireheartstar is the only son of Bluestar and Thrushpelt. Bluestar was Oakheart's mate before, but moved on with Thrushpelt. Fireheart leaves camp one day as a young kitten (I can't remember if he was with Bluestar or sneaking out of camp to follow her), and encounters Thistleclaw. Thistleclaw tricks him into entering Twolegplace and getting abducted. Too bad for Thistleclaw, since he's found out and slain by Bluestar later. TC is unable to find Fireheart and he is presumed dead.
- Fireheart joins TC in the same way he did ic. Bluestar recognizes him as her son but not vice versa. She doesn't tell him right away bc this is still Warriors we're dealing with. Thrushpelt's dead at this point.
- Fireheart's snark is upped by 50%.
- Ravenpaw stays and earns his warrior name.
- Cinderpelt has the accident but still becomes are warrior. Fireheart also mentors Snowkit.
- Fireheart and Sandstorm have kits earlier than TNP, like in Book 3 they have a litter of 4. I don't think Leafpool was part of it but Squirrelflight was.
- Now I like Graystripe but this tea was delicious, it was too good not to enjoy. So basically, Fireheart and Graystripe are bffs like they are ic. The two, alongside Sandstorm and Ravenpaw are a temporary friend group, but this all changes after Graystripe falls for Silverstream. Since Gray is neglecting Bracken like he did in the main series, Fireheart is forced to train him alongside Cinderpaw. While training, I'm not sure if it was Bracken or Cinder who did it, but one of them catches GraySilver in the act. Brackenpaw is absolutely gutted and betrayed by this and flees the scene.
The friend group tells Gray to stop or they'll snitch. Gray doesn't stop, he becomes increasingly nasty, him and Fireheart are often arguing and fighting. He even says something like "just because you failed with Cinderpaw doesn't mean you can take Brackenpaw", and their friendship eventually gets tossed in the trash. One day Fireco. finds Graystripe returning to camp smelling of RiverClan, so they stop him and make him choose between TC and Silverstream. He chooses the gf so they chase him out into RC. Gray doesn't remain a jerk and shows remorse for his words towards his friends, but stays with Silver in RC, who doesn't die in this fic. Dustpelt apologizes for his behaviour towards Fireheart, and the new friend group consists of Fireheartstar, Sandstorm, Ravenpaw and Dustpelt. It was crazy entertaining to read lmao.

I love AUs focusing on canon characters that have massive changes. There's still enough for me to connect to, but it's also fresh.

Edit since I checked out and skimmed more of the series (It's indeed still going on, author's on the last book) - Dustpelt and Ravenflight have a close brotherly bond
- Fireheart and Spottedleaf have sibling bond
- Different characters other than Fireheart get POVs, like Bluestar, Darkstripe and Frostfur
- There are four FireSand kittens: Squirrelpaw, Rainpaw, Spotpaw, and Redpaw. Spotpaw becomes Yellowfang's apprentice. Squirrelpaw and Snowpaw/kit have feelings for each other.
- BloodClan appears more and has more build-up
- Bluestar doesn't go senile, Fireheart is still dep in the latest book
- Thistleclaw gets brutally rejected by Snowfur
- Cinderpelt is called Cinderheart

Howdy, folks. I appreciate a good AU fic, as well as fics that expand on Warriors lore and its world. Also, I'm a sucker for good romance and heartwarming moments in general.

I enjoy OC filled fics, provided that they are written well. I also don't mind canon, provided that the characters aren't written terribly out of character. But I think I enjoy the AU fics the most? Idk, currently some of my favourite fanfics for Warriors are AUs, especially ones that are written well. I've seen ones such as a SquirrelCrow AU fic and larger ones such as an AU of the Clans where the Dark Forest had won. Then there's also AUs such as time travel back to the first arc with present day characters, ShadowClan!Dovepaw, Cinderheartstar AU, Darkstripestar AU, Jaypaw and Jay's Wing body swap, an AU where Sorreltail, Mothwing, Onestar, and Smokepaw are the chosen cats for the journey in TNP, etc. AU fanfics allow a lot of creativity and it's interesting to see where people will take it. It's also nice to write too, such as my AU fanfic of SkyClan rejoining the Clans in TPB rather than AVoS (which I need to get around to rewriting...). (All of the ones I have mentioned are on FFN, I can provide links if anyone is curious about these.) And yeah, this includes human AUs, because while most of the ones I've read are the rehashed high school AU, there are some absolute gems such as the medieval human AU on FFN (called Into the Fire, here's a link for those curious: www.fanfiction.net/s/13467266/1/Into-the-Fire). I really only like human AUs if the premise is interesting and it's executed well, though. Generally, I just like when people are creative with AUs if they decide to go that route.

I always love a good underdog fight. And OC work is good cuz I don't want to have to remember canon family trees.
Honestly tho I love me some magical realism or straight up throwing everything into low fantasy. Got some great worlds in wff that have awesome history and just that touch of fantasy that makes everything epic.

Okay, but I really love Warriors AUs too. I've read so, so many good ones in the WFF. But, like, taking a familiar series and adding something new to it. Gosh, okay, so Butterflies and Hurricanes by ~Sapphire~ takes Power of Three and goes "What If Crowfeather and Leafpool had run away from the clans but still had Lion/Jay/Holly". It's just a really good fic which has each character pitch perfect to their actions while also providing such a beautiful and well thought out idea with characters you can't help liking. To quote another fan, Sol feels more like a character in this fic than in canon. I could go on. There are a bunch of other fics which really have me invested in their AU ideas. But that one will stand as an example. I just love it so much. Okay, okay, okay! But I also like fics that twist the Warriors mythology. Please observe anything by » ѕнαdσω ⚔️ of the WFF or Dingoleap of the WFF. It always has a very Warriors feel, but also adds in a crazy mixture of really and truly original deities, ancestors, or ancient beast and archaic languages which just give you a world so rich with new material while still being oh so familiar. I like stories which make you think about the world of warriors and how easy it is to shift a single fraction of the story and make it like you've never seen before. It's really enchanting. Also like slow burn anything. Slow burn plot, slow burn romance. Ect. Ect. Make the characters work for it, I say!
