10 things you need to know to write a warriors ff

So I have a friend who doesn’t want a deviant account but just wants to do this so here it is



TEN THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW IN ORDER TO MAKE A WARRIORS FANFIC
this may be long

1. MAKE GOOD AND INTERESTING NAMES
 Don’t name an outgoing, black cat Shycloud. Make sure the name fits the character.

2. P. O. V
 reveal things to the reader at the same time as the mc unless it is in another POV, which is usually only the prologue.

3. CONNECTION
Try adding in real life situations the reader may be going through. Get them connected to the mc. This will make them not want to read the next book, but NEED to. Otherwise just make the reader feel bad.
 "FATHER, NO!"
 "I'm sorry, my precious daughter. It is my time. I will be happier in Starclan." ____ took his last, long, shuddering breath, the blood still flowing relentlessly from his neck. He went limp as his spirit departed to the stars. The river carried away his blood.
 "Noooooooo!" ____ flung her head back with a sorrowful cry.

4. STORYLINE
 Start the adventure on an average note.
 "Faster! Stronger! We are ____clan, and we are not weak!"
 ____ huffed, his breath coming fast. ____ was proud of her apprentice. Ever since she switched clans, she never thought ____clan would really accept her, but now, here she was, a mentor of the newest warriors-in-training.
 Then drop little clues that the mc picks up, but doesn’t fit together until later, where the climax is close.
 ____ sniffed. Was that ____'s scent? So close to ____clan's territory? No, ____ decided, ____ is loyal. She picked up her mouse and walked back to camp.
 In the climax, the pieces are all put together, and usually the mc fights the antagonist themselves. Whether they win or not Is your choice.
 Finnally, the resolution depends on your climax. If it’s the climax of just one book, the resoloution is the extra info the reader needs to prepare them for the next book. If it’s the climax of the whole series, the resoloution is short and gives small, important details- like the end of book six in the first series (the darkest hour, the prophecies begin), where firestar and the others are walking away from the battle with that burst of hope.

5. DETAIL
use big words
Not okay- the car hit the cat.
That’s just boring. If I read that line I would throw the book away.
Okay- the monster screeched as if trying desperately to stop itself, but it was much too late. The cat stared wide eyed in horror as the bulking creature came upon it. Then everything went dark.
I get goosebumps reading that
Rest in pepperoni
Timing is important as well.
if it’s a slow motion scene, put in a lot of detail and make it long.
If it’s a fast scene, put in less detail and make it short.
. It seemed almost in slow motion as ____'s mentor slipped, claw scoring in the ground. A single word slipped from her lips: "no!" Gravity hit ____ with a sheer force, but she still managed to get a hold on the ledge. Scrabbling, ____ tried to haul herself up, but the rocks kept falling. There was an ear splitting crraaaaack! as a chunk of earth separated from the ground.
 Suddenly, she was gone.
 ____ skidded as she ran to look over the edge. "____!" No answer.
 "____!!!!" What am I going to tell ____?
See how it gets faster and faster towards the end? And it starts slow, just as it says.

6. BECOME THE CAT
rubbing? No.
Catnip? Yes!
Two Legs? No.
Mice? Yes!
Also, NEVER use hand, nail, or any human words.
I’m sure the cats would love to have thumbs.

7. KNOW YOUR INFO

8. PROPHECIES
make your prophecies as vague as bad jokes

9. KEEP IT NORMAL
Don’t add too much salt or sugar.
Don’t make it too cleiche and make sense.
Mc: Oh look, I’m a warrior who swims, hates trees, and can run like a rabbit!
Reader: are you half windclan, half riverclan?
Mc: what no I’m thunderclan

10. EDITING
 Capitalize all names, check for autocorrect word separation. A cat named Furfire is different from an actual "fur fire".
 Also, remember that every new person speaking is a new line. Usually when switching the subject focused on.
  "Hello." ____ dipped her head in greeting.
  "Welcome."

Thank you, and I hope this helps
