Kate Cary stated back in May of this year on BlogClan that while she didn't know of any plans yet, Snowtuft deserved to get a novella at least. While it isn't up to her but Harper Collins and Working Partners to make that decision, I think the chances for him to actually get one are very likely. He was rather popular in the fandom back when only appearing in OotS and even had a theory centered around him trying to prove he was the deaf Snowkit from TPB (which was false, of course). Now that he made yet another appearance in a main series book and plays a more important role in it than just being a Dark Forest background cat, there is way more content of him to create a story on.
Every since TPoNS was released, it is now known that he was a ShadowClan cat and cared a lot about power prior to his death so there is more than enough material for a novella.
"I don't remember much about my life. I vaguely remember I wasn't the nicest cat. Well, if I had been, I wouldn't have ended up here, would I? When I was alive, I know I cared a lot about power. But what does that power mean now? Nothing. When you spend forever slinking through a dark and dying forest, alone, you realize how little power you ever had."
―Snowtuft to Shadowsight about his past in The Place of No Stars (book), page 144
Such a past combined with his time in "cat hell", some of which was shown in the fourth arc, could perhaps also fill the pages of an SE, with the first half focusing on his life and wrongdoings which lead him to end up in the DF while the other half centers around his time there and what will happen to him in ALitM be it redemption and becoming a StarClan cat or dying/fading away in the process.

He deserves a super edition. I would very much like to see Snowtuft's past as a ShadowClan warrior and what happened to him for him to have ended up in The Dark Forest.

Yes! I am soo tired of getting books about cats we already know everything about, and the events surrounding their book, so it would be nice to know more about a character we know soo little about and the events in which he was alive.

i'd take a novella because honestly, he's not that important to anyone alive in the books rn, and also he's most likely not gonna appear again, so why give a whole SE to him?

A novella would be great. I feel like an SE for Snowtuft would be a bit too much but a novella for him could be the perfect short story.

One thing about Snowtuft confuses me though, how does he not remember his life before, but it seems like all the other DF cats do? Like Mapleshade and Tigerclaw. I haven't read TPONS yet, so if it was answered in that then well... Is it because they never let go of their grudges or whatever?

Personally I think the implication is that Snowtuft's been there considerably longer than Mapleshade or Tigerstar. He's mentioned to be on the verge of fading in TPONS.

That's interesting, he must have done something huge to be remembered that well, unless it was the The Last Hope battle that made everyone remember, but I don't remember him being on the verge of fading in OOTS but Mapleshade was. Thanks for answering!

I keep thinking Snowtuft was one of those trainees in the Dark Forest ugh I think giving him a SE is too much, I don't see how we'd fill those few hundred pages, unless he's wayy older than Mapleshade and we'd see the Clans in an era we've never seen before.

Unpopular opinion warning: No. I never found anything fun about him, and a super edition/novella to a worthier cat would be wasted on this minor character. I'd rather have him tell his backstory in book six of BC rather than to have a detailed ten chapters dedicated to him.

I'd rather have him tell his backstory in book six of BC rather than to have a detailed ten chapters dedicated to him. Since his role in TPoNS Snowtuft is no longer considered a minor character in TBC though, he's part of the major characters lineup in that arc. He has also been a bit of a fan favourite when it comes to Dark Forest cats so it's very likely that there will be at least a novella about him. His hunger for power in ShadowClan during another era would make for a great story that gives some insight into the past as well.
