Hi! I'm Flying Magpie, or Magpie for short. I started reading the books in 2007. The first series was being translated into French (my native language) at the time and I was finally getting into reading. It was my first time reading something so long so at first, I was overwhelmed but eventually, was hooked. I loved the general concept of "sentient cats living in a forest together", but the characters are really what sold it out to me. They were all so interesting and I never had enough of them. I became an active roleplayer on various French forums and it stayed that way until about 2013 when I stopped reading the books. Then, I can't explain it myself, but 3 years ago, I felt the need to read the books again. I got myself the books in English this time and started some reading. I haven't managed to drop the series since then, although I have been more of a quiet fan. It's my first time on an international forum, and I'm really excited to meet new people. I'd kinda like to go back to roleplaying I think, it's been a while and it might be fun! My favorite character is River Ripple, from Dawn of the Clans. I think he's cute and I like his laid back attitude. Dawn of the Clans is my favorite series so far, though the Broken Code looks promising! Gray Wing and Shadowsight are my favorite protagonists. I like Jayfeather too! My favorite superedition is Crookedstar's Promise, my favorite novella is Ravenpaw's Farewell, and my favorite background characters are Runningwind and Sun Shadow. I'm not sure what my favorite clan is. I'd say it depends on the series! I hope I haven't rambled too much. I wasn't sure what to write as introduction, so I figured how I got into the series and my favorite things about it might be interesting..? Anyways, I hope you are all having a good day! Thank you for reading! :>

Bienvenue sur les forums :-). French is my second language! It's nice to have international members in our community, I hope you'll enjoy your time here.
I'm currently trying to read DOTC as I just finished The Sun Trail. Gray Wing is probably my favorite character in DOTC, but Tall Shadow is a close second. Crookedstar's Promise is one of my favorite's SE books since I haven't read many of those. I'm trying to get back into the books since the last one I read (before the DOTC book) was TLH back in 2012.
If you need anything, feel free to PM me or post a thread in Forum Help. We have several members here that love to chat with our new members and they're super helpful too-- probably a lot more than me when it comes to navigating the site.

Thank you so much for the warm welcome!
Gray Wing is a really good character, so is Tall Shadow! I hope you'll enjoy the rest of DOTC, I thought it was really good! Other books including the DOTC cast are Moth Flight's Vision, Thunderstar's Echo and Shadowstar's Life! I read a lot of SE, Crookedstar was my second after Firestar's Quest and it's still my favorite to this day. I thought Tallstar's Revenge was very good too, I recommend it! Good luck with all the reading! I thought AVOS was alright and TBC looks really promising so far, I hope you'll enjoy them too!
Thank you so much for the help! I'll keep that in mind if I need anything!

You’re welcome! I’ll have to finish the arc then. I’m hoping that the SEs that go with it are good. The first SE I read was also Firestar’s Quest, then Bluestar’s and finally Crookedstar’s. I’d say Crookedstar’s Promise was my favorite out of the three. I’ll have to try and read that one too! I’ve heard mixed reviews on it. Thank you again. I’ll see if I’ll get around to the newer arcs. You’re welcome, I’m always around!

Hello! Welcome to the forums! I need to comment at once on your fav being River Ripple because YES. I love him, he is great. I gotta say my favorite cat is Jayfeather though. And I really need to read the Broken Code. Really. Hope you enjoy the forums! I'd love to chat and welcome you and so forth.
