Hope you like them. One's just a little background history.

Chapter two, more like 'Chapter Break-Dingo's-Heart'.
I love the dynamic you've created between Cinderpelt and Smokepaw! Theres so much love, but at the same time, it's easy to see Cinderpelt's determination that her son would live at any cost. And poor Firestar, OMG

*brings out duck tape to mend Ding's broken heart.* Oh, yes, that will come up in future. All of chapter 2 is very important. Can't stress that enough.

Smokepaw is mine now. I have officially adopted him. *takes Smokepaw to underground bunker*
O: That doesn't sound good!
Speaking of cinder pelt, have you seen the MAP 'Blame' about her? It's so good. I might have teared up, just a little bit...

*Tigerstar starts creeping around outside the bunker, looking very scary.* You'll run out of food one of these days. And he has six lives to wait for you two. Some of it is, some of it isn't. That is all I'll say on the matter. Yes! I have! I really like what they did with it. (You're going to make me list all the Warrior MAPs and AMVs I've watched aren't you.) Have you seen the AMV Echo for Hollyleaf? Or the Into the Wild one (I know you mentioned the song over on Curse)?

Oh no you don't. *sprays Tigerstar with water*
Hmmm.... suspicious....
It's such a great map. yellowing is so sassy in it. Yes! I've watched both of those! Are... are we just going to list our favourites now? Because I'm ok with that. Oh, oh! Have you seen 'Forest Fires' for Yellowfang? It's heartbreaking.

*Tigerstar just grinns* Very suspicious. Yep, I'm listing my favorites. List pending (i.e. at the bottom of the post). Yes! Yes, I have! It's on my soundtrack for Will C. Morgen's story (human version). A whole bunch of Warrior MAPs helped influence my stories. Or just the music that go with them. List (in no order at all) of Warrior AMVs (or was it PMVs I'm thinking of? I mix them up) and MAPs that I like: Always Gold Wolf Echo Mountains Undone We All Still Die Stay With Me Meet Me in Woods Buy the Stars (one of my top favs) Loathing! The Valley Blame Mirror, Mirror Beekeeper Wait For It (Noodlers, of course) Young Gods (Noodlers, again. I don't like the full song, but the cut they did worked well.) King Forest Fires Colours of Rivals Blue Sorry About Your Parents Carol of the Bells (Another top fav) Hide Moth's Wings Into the Woods This Isn't the End You are the Moon (And if I go any farther I'll start listing incomplete ones. ) Oh, and if you want links to anything I'll add them.

My favourites are;
* Blame * Forest Fires * Young Gods * Wait for It * Loathing * Kings & Queens * King - Brackenfur map, it's so sweet! * The Valley * Meet me in the Woods * Lullaby for a Princess - Bluestar and Snowfur * Sorry About your Parents - one of my all time favourites * Wolf
Do you watch oc maps as well?

Post by mintedstar/fur🦇 on Jan 26, 2017 18:39:12 GMT -5
Yep, I watch OC MAPs all the time.
(I can'[t believe there is one on that list I haven't listened too. I must change this!)

Oc maps are great. My favourites are;
- Dear Fellow Traveller - Partners in Crime - Lost Colours
Dollhouse is also good, but it's really creepy and kinda violent.

Post by mintedstar/fur🦇 on Jan 26, 2017 23:35:29 GMT -5
Two out of three! I love Partners in Crime and Dear Fellow Traveler.
Don't think I've watched Dollhouse. But I think I've heard the song.

Post by mintedstar/fur🦇 on Jan 26, 2017 23:52:43 GMT -5
And it turns out I've heard the song for Lost Colours. It's another version of the song used for the Warriors MAP Blue.

I'm probably going to start writing chapter three soon. This week has just been really busy and not really the time to do another chapter.

I've been working on an animation I believed I mentioned. Also, school. >.< Apart from that I've done a couple more drafts for Poisoning the Sea. Now all I need to do is turn them into pages. Motivation where have you gone?

Ugh, I know. I've been working non stop off my major projects. My free time is donated to writing angsty one shots between my characters

Why do all my characters have such tragic pasts? A better question is why I torture them so much. I'm writing a key scene and;;
“You don’t know anything about me, mate. You don’t know what its like, to live your life wondering if you were unlovable, because the person who was supposed to love you unconditionally abandoned you.
You didn’t have to spend every day of your childhood pushing yourself to the absolute freaking limit in hope of impressing your boss, so you could pretend you were something other than a weapon, made to be used.
You don’t have to worry about whether or not you’ll sleep at night, because you don’t have to worry if all the unforgivable things you did were worth it.
And you don’t have to cling so desperately to the past, because it is the only thing that reminds you that you can be more than what you were made to be.
So go ahead, Rylan. Tell me all about myself. I’d invite you to try it, but its no way to live.”
I've started sobbing over my own characters. Send help immediately.

Hey, it's here! I always kind of shipped Cinderpelt and Littlecloud... and you've definitely picked a good 'what if' here, so yes, looking good! Fan?

I've started sobbing over my own characters. Send help immediately. Oh my Starclan. XD This looks so familiar. I do this to my characters too. I'm not on the computer that it's written on, but I wrote something similar. Well, in regard to the torturing them. Funny, my characters don't all have tragic pasts, but I have a feeling that if I ever published it I'd get a few people saying, "Your characters are too diverse." I just love writing from so many cultural backgrounds, religions, whether someone comes from a rich, middle-class, or poor family ect. I have to keep reminding myself that I'm writing for myself first and not for the people that wont like the story (because those people will always exist). I love my characters. If I changed them even a little they wouldn't be my characters.

If I changed them even a little they wouldn't be my characters. I'm sure I've told you this, but I live by the quote - "Your characters are like geodes. If you want to see what they're truly made of, you have to break them". It is honestly the best piece of writing advice I have ever received. My poor characters, honestly.
I find that characters with tragic pasts make characters with interesting futures. And cultural backgrounds are so much fun to write! Don't let anyone tell you your characters are too diverse. Diversifying characters is what makes them great. Half the time I find myself making backstories for their parents too, so I understand how family circumstances can effect them! My characters are literally my life. I love them so much! They're my babies.
All I want to do is talk about them. I might do a question and answer type thing soon...

Yes, please add me!
Hmm, I've never read anything I thought was *too* diverse. It's always really interesting to read - and write - about characters from different backgrounds to my own.
