Sorry I didn't update this yesterday, I uploaded the chappy right before I had to go to bed so you guys would have something to read and so I wouldn't be so guilty for continuing to be late. Eh. xD
So, that was our last POV chapter and stuffs. BUT we still have the epilogue (I always title them as being epilogues, so you don't have to freak out that the story is over until you see that, for future reference), which will both tie up some loose ends and untie some other knots for the sequel to deal with. Sweet, rite?
Also, I think the before-and-after list is a definite yes; I'll put it here on the blog, in a separate post so you don't have to read it if you don't want to.
ALSO (tambien en espanol) this blog will continue to be updated and such, as I'll need it still for the sequel. After I post the epilogue, I'll answer questions about Chill's chapter, and after I post the prologue for the new story (when that will be, I'm not sure yet), I'll answer questions from the epilogue, and everything should be normal from there on out.
Tiempo de preguntas (time of questions, literally, but I think it's safe to say we would just say Question Time)!
@Shimmertail: It gladdens me that you're a fellow Troper. Maybe you'll be the one to start a trope page for my stories? Ha. We'll see what happens to Toxin in the epilogue, and Lion too; however, Lion did not believe in StarClan. He didn't believe they were evil, or anything, that was more Slaughter/Blight's agenda; Lion believed that the Clans were a corrupt system that had to be destroyed in order for him to get over his friends' deaths. He didn't care about StarClan one way or another, really. And yes, I'm fond of how Silverstar killed him too; growth on her part, since she's finally willing to take things to that final level, but there were kinder motives behind it too. And yes, Arrowpaw (she wasn't my character...but my own names were horrible too, so). Rabbitpaw is mostly based on Arrowpaw (except for a few things, like her tail; Arrowpaw had no tail problems or anything), who was role-played by a old friend of mine.
Ninjakitty: Yep, Belladonna is what we call a dilute calico, a white cat dappled with cream and blue. I think they're extremely pretty, but rare, so that's why she was a kittypet. Rosedapple is silver, splashed with darker gray/silver.
QueenofthePens: Paragliding sounds fun, but I'm terrified of heights, ha (especially bridges. I HATE bridges). Northy starting his own Clan would be the coolest thing since the wheel (i.e. it would trump even sliced bread!). And of course Chilled will be spaced like that; all the cool kids do it! And, you know, it's kinda an eye-catcher, which has worked well for me so far. I sort of agree about Forest, though, him having a warrior name feels really...weird. But he's no Daisy or Millie or Purdy, so he's gotta have one.
JayEyedWolf: You're right, I should have included sharp objects. PLEASE don't hit me with objects of any kind. D:
Crowstorm: Mmm, I honestly kind of liked the italic/normal transition; it probably looked weird on the site, though, because the dashes didn't translate right, but I felt that it communicated the quick pace and confusion of battle...but maybe that's just me. Also, no, the place where I role-played (a guild on Neopets) doesn't exist anymore, I don't think, and all I have saved are my old characters.
Everthorn: Hey, buddy! To answer your questions, in my experience the chapters are about 5k, although some have been as low as 3k (and the prologue was 1k, but that doesn't count since prologues are never too long). The longest chapter (Reedrush's first one) was a whopping 19k! As for the pages, I can't give an estimate on that because while I write I often change the fonts and sizes to accommodate my mood/the character (for example, Northstar and Lion were both written in sort of old-fashioned fonts, like Century, whereas Nightshade's were written in a couple really messed up fonts that were all jagged and junk; most of Silverstar's were written in Century Gothic, etc.) so the page numbers varied wildly according to all that.
I think that's all the questions, but I have one more tidbit for you guys. As I just mentioned, the original role-play has all been long deleted BUT I have some of my old characters. They can be viewed here:

Be warned, many of my names are HORRIBLE. Most of the characters from Shattered are there; some are missing or have been changed, but all that will be addressed at the end with the before-and-after thing. A lot of stuff in story is like inside jokes for me based on bad stuff that happened in role-play (for example, if you look on that page you'll see a cat named Deathstorm. Yes, for real. Deathstorm, if you think really hard, probably reminds you of Darkstorm/Death. The reason he's called Death for most of the story was a sort of reminder for me of who he used to be...a way to cringe at my poorly conceived names. Also, as I mentioned previously in the story, Death is MUCH more pathetic than Deathstorm...but they were both paedophobic and lazy, so it all works out.).
I think that's all for now; hopefully the epilogue will be up soon. See ya then!
