Flakepatch gives advice on how to write Warrior Cats fanfiction.

The first step to writing a good Warrior Cats fanfiction is to know what you are writing based off. Make sure you understand what happens in the canon series so you don’t accidentally copy any of it too much. Pay attention to the unique traits of each clan, the warrior code, how different things are used like herbs, and the various territories. This research will serve as some foundation for your story.

4. Focus on Character Growth:
Character development is key to a successful fanfiction. Show how your characters evolve throughout the story, facing challenges and learning from their experiences. Readers should be emotionally invested in their journeys. Especially when a favorite character dies, then the readers will want to keep reading to make sure the character is avenged.
5. Dialogue and Interaction:
Warrior Cats are known for their distinct personalities. Ensure that your characters’ dialogues and interactions are true to their nature. The banter, camaraderie, and conflicts among characters should be believable and engaging.
6. World-Building:
Transport your readers to the wild and captivating world of Warrior Cats through vivid descriptions of the forest, territory borders, and camp life. Immerse them in the sensory details, making them feel like a part of the story. and help them imagine whats happening like a movie in their heads.

By respecting the lore, developing well-rounded characters, and crafting an engaging plot, you can create a story that stands as a compelling narrative in its own right.
