I am going to try writing a story on the Warriors series. But I need some ideas first. Can anyone help please?

P.S. It will not use the cats, clans or prophecies of the actual Warrior Series

P.P.S The warrior series belongs to erin hunter, I just like it so much I want to try writing a story based on it. :P

Duskclan: The camp of Duskclan is set deep in a forest of Oak, birch and elm trees. Some landpoints are the Twoleg town, Owl tree, Star-rock (Where the deputies go to become leaders), Halfwood (Where the clan meetings are) and Silverpond (The Med. Cat meeting place)

Leader: Jaggedstar

Deputy: Mosstail

Med. Cat: Pebbletail

Med. Cat Apprentice:

Warriors: Thorntail, Blackstripe, Stormclaw, Riverheart, Sandfur

Apprentices: Heatherpaw, Starlingpaw

Queens: Ashfur - Mother of Bramblekit and Leafkit, Silvercloud - Kits unborn

Elders: Rosepelt, Darkbelly

ooc; Ok, I got a start, please post comments. :P

Frostwing padded slowly into the Medicine Cat's den. "How is he?" she asked wearily, her head hanging down. "I'm sorry to say this but he's getting worse." Murmured Pebbletail, turning towards Frostwing. “He’s slowly getting weaker. I can stop the pain but nothing more. I’m sorry Frostwing.” At that moment, Jaggedstar groaned and lifted his head. “Frostwing, Are you there?” he asked, his voice quiet and feeble. Frostwing leapt up and curled up beside Jaggedstar, her nose touching his back. “Shush my dear, I am here.” She whispered quietly into his ear, knowing he would not see the next dawn.

Bramblekit snarled playfully at Leafkit. “You can’t beat me!” he meowed happily. “I’m Jaggedstar, the leader of Duskclan! I can beat you any day.” Leafkit leapt at him and knocked him over. Grappling playfully, the two didn’t notice Thorntail and bumped into him. “Watch it!” he snarled angrily, his fur fluffing up in anger. “I have enough to do with Jaggedstar sick without you kits bothering me!” Bramblekit and Leafkit cowered away from him and ran to their mother, burrowing under her belly, squeaking in fright. “Hush! They didn’t mean it Thorntail! Stop being so grumpy.” Scolded their mother Ashfur.

As sunhigh came, Frostwing blinked open her eyes and looked at Jaggedstar. His breaths were coming rapidly, as if he couldn’t breathe properly. “Pebbletail? Where are you, I think something’s wrong with Jaggedstar!” Pebbletail looked out from behind the lichen curtain cutting his den off from the main Medicine cat area. “What’s wrong?” he asked in surprise, running towards the two. He stopped and pressed his ear to Jaggedstar’s flank. “He’s losing his last life. He will be with Starclan soon.” Murmured Pebbletail, the happiness draining from his eyes. Frostwing wailed loudly. “No! Jaggedstar, please don’t leave me!” she pressed her nose to his flank as Jaggedstar whispered his last words. “Don’t worry Frostwing. I will see you in Starclan someday.”

Thorntail padded up to Blackstripe. “I want you Heatherpaw, Mosstail and Thrushfeather to do a patrol of Swiftclan’s border. If there is anything odd, report back immediately. Don’t start any fight’s with the cats.” He finished sternly. “I don’t want trouble, seeing as Jaggedstar is so sick with greencough.” Blackstripe stretched and walked over to Mosstail and her apprentice Heatherpaw. “Come on. Thorntail wants us to patrol Swiftclan’s border.

Blackstripe, Heatherpaw and Mosstail slowly padded up the line of trees marking the border to Swiftclan.  “What can you scent?” asked Mosstail quietly. Heatherpaw stopped and twitched her tail. “Umm, I can scent fox but it’s a couple of days old and wait!” she walked slowly over to a tree a couple of fox lengths into Duskclan’s territory and sniffed it experimentally. “This has Swiftclan scent all over it!” she meowed excitedly.  Blackstripe hissed; his claws unsheathing. “What! That can’t be possible.” He growled angrily. He stalked up to the tree and sniffed it carefully. “Your right Heatherpaw, we have to tell Thorntail now.” He turned towards camp and signaled with his tail that they should follow.

Bramblekit turned and watched as the Blackstripe, Mosstail and Heatherpaw ran into camp. “What’s the matter?” he asked Ashfur. “I’m not sure. Let me ask Thorntail.” She got up and walked towards Thorntail. She prodded him with her paw, “What’s going on. Did Swiftclan do something?” she said. Thorntail turned. He grunted, “Yes, it’s Swiftclan again. They decided to further their boundaries. They actually had the nerve to mark the border a couple of fox lengths in! And how did they know that Jaggedstar was sick? They wouldn’t have dared to if it were not for that!” he said, a worried note creeping into his voice. Ashfur stood quietly for a moment before answering. “I will tell Frostwing the news. She would want to know.” Ashfur padded away to the Medicine Cat’s den.

As for the story, Don't foget enamies, and other struggles,

I've tried to write stories, so I spend my time thinking about it and picturing a little before I go to bed, It helps to just stare off into space and heve it come, At least for me, you have to know your story before u write it of be spontaniouse and just write as you think

Well, the scenes are a bit short and it all seems really random when you read through it. Also you need to describe the characters when you write. It's really unclear. I mean the whole story's basically just dialogue and a bit of movement by the characters.

ooc; It's my first story really. They're in short parts since I write them when I get an Idea and post it straight away. I should describe them more. Thanks you guys :P (I'm working on the enemies, it's a slow start.)

P.S. I will give deions of the first cats and add the rest in the actual story.

Jaggedstar: Dark brown tom with green eyes. One of his teeth is broken off at the tip. 

Frostwing: White long-furred she-cat with blue eyes. She is Jaggedstar's mate

Thorntail: Brown tom with a black tail. He is the deputy

Blackstripe: He has black fur with light brown stripes down his side. His eyes are brown

Mosstail: Is a ginger tabby with golden eyes.

Heatherpaw: She has light gray-blue fur and light brown eyes.

Frostwing looked up as Ashfur walked in, her eyes dull with sadness. “What is it Ashfur? Is anything the matter?” Ashfur glanced at Jaggedstar lying in his nest. “Is he alright?” she asked in concern. She then shook her head, muttering, “Swiftclan is pushing the borders, I think they found out about Jaggedstar.” Frostwing stared at her in surprise. “That can’t be! Mousedung, now they won’t leave us alone!” Pebbletail padded in, “What’s the matter? Is it Swiftclan again?” he asked while he began to clean up the den. Ashfur nodded, “Yes, they found out about Jaggedstar. How, only Starclan knows.” Jaggedstar lifted his head and rasped out, “They know because Thorntail told him! He wants to join Duskclan with Swiftclan once I die.” He paused to rest and continued. “And that will be soon, I am growing weaker by the heartbeat and Thorntail will be leader. Before that I need to name a new deputy. Can you fetch Mosstail for me Ashfur?” Ashfur nodded in astoundment. “Of course Jaggedstar. I will at once.” She walked out and to the warriors den.

Mosstail yawned, her body aching after the training session with Heatherpaw. She was really turning into a wonderful fighter and hunter. She thought tiredly. She turned at the sound of Ashfur walking in. “Yes? I’m very tired so make it quick please.” She murmured quietly.  Ashfur nodded, “Of course, but Jaggedstar wants to see you. He says it’s important.” Mosstail followed Ashfur to the Medicine Cat’s den and walked in. She blinked her eyes to accustom herself to the darkness and padded closer to Jaggedstar. “You wanted me Jaggedstar?” she asked, curious about his demand.

Thorntail hissed as he overheard what Jaggedstar had said. “You will only be leader over my dead body Mosstail, and I won’t let that happen!” He stalked off into the warrior’s den and lay down in his nest. He closed his eyes, thinking of ways to drive Mosstail away so that he may be Leader. His eye’s drooped lower as he lay there, until he was asleep, dreaming of fantasies where he was leader of the forest. “Thorntail, Thorntail.” Whispered Heatherpaw. “Jaggedstar’s gonna make an announcement now! He said you can’t miss it.” She said, jabbing him with her paw. Thorntail muttered grumpily and stood up, licking scraps of bracken off his fur. “I’m coming, run along now Heatherpaw.” He said angrily. He stomped heavily past Heatherpaw, shoving her out of the way to sit underneath the rock.  “Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey join beneath the Highrock for a clan meeting.” Yowled Jaggedstar. “I have news concerning every cat in this clan. As you know, I have not long to live and I proclaim Mosstail as my new deputy.” Surprised whispers filled the clearing as cats muttered among themselves. “Thorntail is able but he would not be the right leader for Duskclan.  Mosstail, do you accept the duty of being deputy?” Mosstail quivered, her body shaking as she whispered, “Yes, I will serve Duskclan with all that I have.” Jaggedstar nodded in approval and continued. “Then I name you Mosstail, deputy of Duskclan!” The cats began to cheer and yowl as Mosstail bent her head and licked Jaggedstar’s shoulder. “Thank you.” She murmured.

Frostwing helped Pebbletail and Mosstail carry Jaggedstar’s cold body out. Her body was shaking from the effort of trying to keep her sadness in. She felt like she had been ripped into a thousand pieces. Her mind was a vortex of pain, sadness and confusion. Mosstail looked sorrowfully at Frostwing, feeling her pain. “I’m sorry.” She whispered quietly. “It’s alright, you’ll do fine,” answered Frostwing. They carefully carried Jaggedstar out and buried him in the cold ground. The silverpelt glittered above and when Frostwing looked up at it, she could see Jaggedstar hunting in the prey filled forests of Starclan. “I love you my dear…”

ooc; I was listening to a sad song when I wrote this. XD

I like your ideas, and I have a few suggestions to make this even better.  

1.When changing for one character to another, create a new paragraph. This makes for less confusing. For I’m having a hard time understanding which cat is speaking. It makes the posts seem longer but it’s less confusing for the reader. As an example, instead of:

“Thorntail is able but he would not be the right leader for Duskclan. Mosstail, do you accept the duty of being deputy?” Mosstail quivered, her body shaking as she whispered, “Yes, I will serve Duskclan with all that I have.” Jaggedstar nodded in approval and continued. “Then I name you Mosstail, deputy of Duskclan!” The cats began to cheer and yowl as Mosstail bent her head and licked Jaggedstar’s shoulder. “Thank you.” She murmured.

 

Have:    “Thorntail is able but he would not be the right leader for Duskclan. Mosstail, do you accept the duty of being deputy?”  

Mosstail quivered, her body shaking as she whispered, “Yes, I will serve Duskclan with all that I have.”  

Jaggedstar nodded in approval and continued. “Then I name you Mosstail, deputy of Duskclan!” The cats began to cheer and yowl as Mosstail bent her head and licked Jaggedstar’s shoulder. “Thank you.” She murmured. 

 

2. Maybe go back to your first post and edit it to hold all your characters, all the clans, and a brief deion of the clans’ camp. So that the reader can picture where this is happening, when its happening, and what it feels like.

 

3. That reminds me to tell you, put all the senses in. Often times, beginning writers forget that the readers aren’t in their mind. So they miss out on the sights the cat is seeing, the smells, the tastes, the feelings, and the sounds. Some writers just plain forget about tasting, smelling and hearing. But these are essential to keep the reader in a trance. And you don’t have to be literal, I think cats really can taste and smell fear; I personally don’t like to write about humans because we are limited in our senses.

I hope that this isn’t too long, and I really do like your story. Keeping it going, and don’t forget to revise it. I often do. X3
