Updated a few days early; Jaggedclaw's story flowed better than I thought it would, so I finished earlier than expected with the chapter. Which is good, because now I have some wriggle room for the next chapter. :p
@Mochihamster: Thank you! :)
@Shimmertail: Yaaay, I'm very glad that you liked it. I'll admit the scene kind of got away from me, it wasn't supposed to be so long (the chapter was like 8k or something, and 3/4s of it was the dream!) but I'm pleased with the result. Also, you earn ten points by mentioning the 'one paw in StarClan' bit, it's been awhile since I've brought that up. It's weird, a lot of people have remarked that they like Moonpaw more now, despite her not doing a whole lot...but I guess that's good. Now I know if I want a character to be liked, I just need to add some snow. :p Again, I'm really glad you liked it. <33
@TheCatOwl: I've never seen The Phantom of the Opera, actually. I tried reading the book once but I was in 5th grade and it didn't make much sense to me so I gave up after like the first chapter. I'd like to watch it some time. ^^
@Sara Darkotter: Join the masses of SootxChill fans. 8D
@Silverblossom: Poor Rainwind was doomed from the beginning of that battle, I'm afraid, but he was a good kitty, and, as Sootpaw said, StarClan is one of the most peaceful places imaginable, so he's prolly pretty happy. And yep, Chilly's a little Mr. Dapper. He's always been that way, even when I rped him foreverrr ago; he's a bit longwinded, the poor kid.
@TheLastClan: Aren't best friend romances the best kind? I love them myself, although I don't think Chilly makes good BFF material (sleepovers with him are pretty awkward!). As for Moonpaw, her disappearing/reappearing was intentional. That happens sometimes in dreams, you lose track of who's with you and who isn't, so she popped in and out. Remember that a big chunk of her is just Sooty's subconscious, so she's subject to the same sort of whimsy rules of existence. As for Rainy and Reed, they were pals, but I think we'll hear more about that later.
@Tangleflame: Ever since the battle, some people have wanted to strangle her and some want to give her a hug, which I think makes for a fun character! Sometimes it's nice to have a 'base breaker' thrown in the mix. :D
@Nightkill: Yup, I did NaNo! It's on my fictionpress account (same username) if you'd like to take a look. Thanks~
@Rainshimmer: Your lateness is forgiven, no worries; Christmas time is busy for errebody. If you're a Homestuck reader, right now Leopardpaw kind of has a kismesis thing goin' on with Spiderpaw. They do not like each other one bit, but Leopardpaw absolutely adores messing around with cats and pushing them just to see how far their temper extends. It's a bit of a curse, really, since as we're seeing it tends to backfire....
As for your dream theory, it's interesting, but of course it could just be coincidence. After all, where would the tension be if the pattern was as straightforward as that (if there's even a pattern at all)? And I do find your attempts to continue hating Swanpaw most amusing. 8D And I don't know what you mean; Blight is the kingpin of relationship advice, clearly. He gets allll the ladies. Granted it's by brainwashing and torturing them, but still, gotta give him props. ;)
@Zerala: Ooh, aspens would have been good for that scene. They always look pretty with snow, and they're usually slender enough to give a more sinister feel...mm. Nice. Thank you!
That's all for now, folks. Enjoy the update. <3
