Why hello there. I see that you have stumbled upon this little guide of mine. I have been reading Erin Hunter's series for a few years now, and since starting to read these books it hasn't taken me long to find the resulting fanfiction. There are a few things that I am sick and tired of seeing used over and over, usually to no great effect. A fair warning: I am going to poke fun at these things. These things may or may not be included in your stories. This is not meant to be offensive to anyone, and I am certainly not saying that all warriors stories are boring and clichè. Some things that I will cover in future:
- Mary Sues
- Common OCs
- Forbidden love
- Kittypets
- Prophecies and Omens
- . . . The dreaded human-turned-warrior-cats stories
- Human AUs (yes, I am looking at you, warriors high fics)
- How to cat (how to make a believable character with a realistic personality)
- These are cats. Cats cannot; [insert all of the human-like things that authors think that cats can do]
As you can see, we will be in for a rather long ride. Any suggestions will be welcomed. Anyone who would like to go Sue-hunting with me should meet at sunset at your nearest local supermarket. I will not be there.
All of my weirdness aside, I do hope that you find this useful in some way. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and have a good day.
