Welcome: Hello, I'm mintedstar/fur, a once regular on here and I have a penchant for fan fictions. I have two completed fan fictions, as well as a completed trilogy and I'm decently sure apart from Where There's Smoke, all fics came after The Game. The Game isn't something I ever planned to 'finish' per se. It's a short story dump. Or rather, the first version, that you can read here, is. It's a lot of ideas, often written out of order, just with a bunch of thoughts. And frankly I still like the idea. The world building was cool and I enjoy the idea. I also have a completed comic in the series, called Poisoning the Sea, which I also really enjoyed making. So what's this? Well, I wanted to do a story that wasn't ancient. Poisoning the Sea started on the old forums. In fact, I was briefly banned because of it (why? Ask me in the comments, I still could rant about old forum idiocy, even 8 years later). It's just ... really old, even with the new forum remake. It was also not really set up to be read with the complete information I had in mind for the world. The Game as a short story collection is also not really meant to be read without other information, often which wasn't even written yet. I want to start again. I want to try and write a story that tells a full story and does it better than my other attempts. I don't want it to be a remake of Poisoning the Sea either. I want it to be its own thing and I want it to be something I can do fun things with. So. Summaries. Summary: Everyone remembers the war. Long ago, cats from 'Clans' came to Seaside, wishing to make a new home there. A hastily made camp later, and everything should have been fine - if it wasn't for the fact that Seaside already had it's groups. Tensions grew until they burst and blood colored the water. Moons later, a kit is born to Seaside parents and must unpuzzle the history that is tearing her home apart. It may take her back to the old Clan territory to do it, but she can't just accept everything is as it seems.

I am so delighted that your spark for writing fan fiction has come raging to life again! 🔥 We are kindred spirits there and that thought makes me happy. :-) Some stories just stay with you, demanding to be told. Excited to see what is to come!

Yes, it's primarily thanks to you! My desire to write some Warriors stuff has returned, ha ha. And thank you! Looking forward to seeing more from you as well!

Yup. Briefly. A 7 day ban. The mod read my summary that said 'A sickness racks the whole town, slowly killing everyone if effects' and ... extrapolated that it must thusly have 'kit-killing' in it? So deleted my comic. Only their report misspelled 'kit-killing' as 'cat-killing' which ... resulted in a whole thing, complete with a new mod suddenly starting to remove ANYTHING with a cat dying ... it was a whole thing.
So once that fixed up, I added a disclaimer at the top of my comic repost to the tone of 'No kits were killed in this comic!' And I was banned for 'yelling at the mods.'

Also you are totally valid for that disclaimer lmao I can see where they wouldn't want that on the forums but like... it's a fanfiction. Of a series where many cats die, including many apprentices and kits like. A little hypocritical that you can't post fanfiction with the same content that was okay in the main series.

I'm still so annoyed I didn't even get to commit the crime I was banned for. XD At the time of 'banning,' I'd gotten three pages up. No one had died - kit or cat - in those three pages. They literally dinged me for the summary mentioning that there was a plague as a backdrop to the plot. That was it. (Like, if you've seen Poisoning the Sea, there's like ... two deaths that aren't off screen, lol.) I will forever be bitter about it. Because I can be. XD
