|| facts and notes ||


All right! Now that we're all done with this book, we can finally do my favorite part of writing books! I love putting facts and stuff I had in mind when I started writing! So, here we go!

Before I start, I'd just like to say thank you to everyone who read this book. Especially those who read the original. I know that rewriting this story when I could've used it to write something else would've been more useful, but I wanted to change it. This book has been important to me because it was the first official Warriors book I've written. Without the original book, I don't think I would've continued writing this.

Massive shoutout to my best online friend: Tigrisfang101 for reading the first copy and then this one. You are the best friend anyone can ask for. I can't explain my thanks to you. (Also, thank you for making Tigerfrost, Lionfur, Leopardfern, Firefox, and Icehawk!)

And to  for making Lifekit, Lightkit, and Deathkit! (I hope I did a good enough job for you since they were kinda introduced towards the very end... I still hope you enjoyed this!)

Onto the trivia! (NOTE: There is a lot)



~~~oOo~~~


» This book's entire purpose was to show improvement. While I liked writing about Mothpaw again and her family, there was no need to bring her back. I only rewrote her story because I couldn't take my seventh-grade/eighth-grade writing skills and needed to test myself and see if I was any better at writing. There's still plenty of room to improve, but this is a landmark. A fact stays above all: this rewrite would've never existed had not I gone back and read a certain warriors fanfic.

» The month of February was when this book started and since I wanted to treat this book with more respect and notice, the updating schedule was kinda off, as there was an update on the 14th, this book's anniversary. (Also, let's not mention how I accidentally published Chapter 41 before Chapter 40, so that's how you got a three-day update on the 12th, 13th, and 14th)

» The silver she-cat and her siblings' identity in the epilogue are up for debate. I say this because StarClan has been known to reincarnate a cat, so you could say that it's Mothpaw(storm)'s family reincarnation or it's just a she-cat from the far future. Either way, the she-cat's name is Silkpaw.

» The title, made more sense in the first story. In the first one, Mothpaw(storm) would hear StarClan whisper in her ears and guide her throughout the plot. In this one, I threw StarClan away.

» Gorsekit does make an appearance in the original book, going as the name Gorseflame. When I started writing this book, I knew that he wouldn't have much of an impact, so I kept him lost, even though he is the cat speaking in Chapter 51.

» Oliveflower is still recovering from her shock. She is shell-shocked, another name for suffering with PTSD. I have no idea if cats really can suffer from this, but she has not fully recovered from the battle with Shatteredstar. She was intentionally not going to have this, but my fingers slipped.

» Ashstar's name was originally Jadestar, but since 'Jade' isn't a valid prefix, I changed it. Then I noticed that Aspenstar and Amberfeather both start with 'A' and decided to keep the trend, giving him the name Ashstar. Then I realized there was already an Ashpaw and then had to changed his name.

» Stonepaw's name was Ashcloud in the original.

» Ashstar and Aspenstar both die at the end of the first book. Speckleflash and Lakestalk take the leadership positions, appointing Speckleflash as MeadowClan's deputy and Raccoonstem as CinderClan's deputy. Sleekfeather dies by a rogue attack earlier on in the first while Clearwhisker dies of battle wounds. All of this was removed.

» I didn't realize how similar made Aspenstar, Ashstar, and Amberfeather. All of them start with the same letter and their warrior/medicine cat names start with the same letter. When I went back to edit/proof read myself, I laughed and snorted for a few seconds noticing how similar they were. Oh well, I guess siblings do stick together.

» The names Breezefall and Whiteshade were based off an RP.

» Lifekit, Lilykit, and Deathkit are actually important symbolism of the Clan(s). We are all living a life, one we can be proud of, but we have to decide whether to be hopeful or sorrowful. Whatever we choose, our story and life ends with death, something we can't deny. While it seems strange, these three kits are a gift of StarClan and the Dark Forest, in a way. Their warrior names respectively are: Lifeshadow, Lilysorrow, and Deathshadow.

» Tumblepaw, Brookkit, and Stonekit's warrior names are Tumbleflight, Brookstone, and Stonedweller.

» Honeypaw(blaze) actually had kits with Scarpaw(flame), their names being Sunkit and Flamekit, which soon became Sunfire and Flamespark.

» Ripplestone was forgotten in the original book and actually killed by Honeyblaze. I wanted to use him since he was pushed aside in the first and that lead to his character in this book.

» Slatecloud was also killed by Honeyblaze in the first story and sent to the Dark Forest. However, I decided that Beechcloud was going to join CinderClan like the last book, and I decided to spare him a little bit of happiness. I also wanted to give Slatecloud some kind of justice, so they became mates.

» Honeypaw(blaze) actually had kits with Scarpaw(flame), their names being Sunkit and Flamekit, which soon became Sunfire and Flamespark.

» Runningstream and Mothpaw(storm) were mates at the very end of the original, but then I planned on killing her and that outweighed the mate idea, so I trashed it. However, if you're curious, there was a squeal -which was abandoned by me - and their kits' names were Autumnkit, Duskkit, and Cloudkit. Eventually, they were to become Autumnpaw - because I killed her - Dusksoul, and Cloudpaw - because she was the bad guy.

» I miss our cheese joke guys.

That's all.

I hate to break this to you, but I will no longer be writing any Warrior fanfics from here on out - until I finish up my Imperfect trilogy. It has nothing to do with this book, but I hope you'll like it if you decide to check it out. The Warriors has been with me for a long time, but it's time for me to leave and move on, reaching new heights when it comes to writing. I cannot thank this series enough for helping me and I hope that each person reading this can experience the feelings I had when I first picked up Into the Wild.

Last of all, thank you all so much for reading this, whether you're a returning reader from the original story or not - thank you a million times over.

"May StarClan walk your path."
