Good xD Hopefully you can get it soon then!
Tbh I think everyone's on here because they like talking endlessly about their interests. I'm... up and down. Had some bad family news and things are a bit up in the air. On the other hand I'm finally done with uni for the term and I'm feeling confident-ish about what we've studied. So yeah.
If everyone frustrated like this all screamed at once, they might be enough of a nuisance that something would change. True, true. You have contacts in a lot of places... Dunno who the other brits are but they must be somewhere.

I would join in the screaming. Admittedly I do. I'll have to see. Not to self to post in OTD. I know a lot of people from Australia. And ... two from Canada. But that's about it. I think you're currently my only brit friend.

Actually things have improved since I made that last post! Still bad but better. And thank you Honestly just being someone to talk to is helpful, if you want to do something more we could pick a time to word war or sth? So would I! I've been trying to find some proofs that I need for uni all week and the internet isn't making things easy. Hmm, I know mostly US/Canadians and one Australian. Maybe I should try and get to know the other brits sometime...

I'm so sorry, I completely forgot I never responded to this. I've only read to the first chapter because I've been a bit busy over the holidays. Honestly, I just liked being able to see Leafpool and Crowfeather together again. I know it's an unpopular opinion, but I've always liked the ship. Or rather, I liked what it could have been. I've got quite a few fanfics I'm planning on reading over the rest of break, so I'll definitely let you know what I think once I finish more of the story. Don't worry about it c: Ha, yeah, I've shipped them on and off over the years so I know the feeling. Crowfeather got shafted personality-wise in the later series, so looking back there's a bit of a sense of 'why on earth did she go for him', but if you just focus on the TNP canon it has a lot of potential... Good luck with your fic reading! If you want something short to add to your pile I do have a Leaf/Crow prequel lurking in my old threads

Hey! I'm alright thanks, a lot better than I was before the holidays. The disadvantage of that being that I have no excuse to put off uni work, so I'm spending this week and next week wading through revision, mostly. But I'm managing And I've got a surprising amount of writing done, so How about you?

I would love that, since I enjoy having lots of reading material. Even if I haven't been able to do much of it lately.
I understand that completely. I don't know why I latched so tightly on to that specific pairing, but alas. In the rewrite of the series I was planning, I had Leafpaw go on the journey with the other prophecy cats so there was time for Crow and Leaf to bond, among other reasons. I think Crowpaw's character had a lot of potential too. Too bad they didn't have him develop more nicely later on in the series. Here you go!That sounds like a really cool idea! I wish there were just... more scenes of them getting to know each other. (I would love to read that fic, by the way.) And I could not agree with you more about Crowfeather. By OOTS he was basically Bad for Drama which is such a shame considering that he was a much more interesting character when he was first introduced.

Agreed. I know they have to make room for new characters, but it's frustrating when so many characters don't live up to their potential. That sounds really fun! Are you planning to go book by book or is it condensed?

I really like at the end of the prologue, where the kits have been born and the effect that has on different characters all over—it’s really cool. And your writing is just so simple and beautiful, i really love your style

And so many plot points never get resolved. I like that you mentioned Squirrelflight and Leafpool's link in your story, because they never did anything with it in the actual stories. I don't think it was ever brought up after the journey happened in TNP.
Book by book was my initial plan, but that's probably a bit too ambitious. Since certain books are kind of dull, I'll likely combine a few of them. I've been creating summaries of each series and the major changes in them, so depending on how much I actually get around to writing, I'm planning to post a condensed summary of each arc at some point.
I've also debated placing AVOS before POT. I feel like The Last Hope was a a good ending to the series since Firestar died and the Clans fought cat Hell. I can't see how they could really top that in later series. Then I also figure with AVOS being earlier, it would make sense to bring SkyClan back so each Clan could face the Dark Forest united, as it was never really explained why they had to return to the Lake at all. The Broken Code will then take place in an entirely new generation. I know, right? Like, I was so excited when they introduced the Ancients plotline in POT, and then it never really affected the main plot at all. And Squirrel and Leaf's link too - it has so much potential, both for angst purposes and as a tool they could use. But I guess that's what fic is for. Combining could save you writing out a lot of words xP. I completely agree with you about AVOS - or there's so much filler in OOTS, you could probably fit in the AVOS plot without needing an extra series.
