Woot, got a chapter finished several days ahead of schedule! Life is awesome. :p
We might actually have a chance of finishing Chilled before the summer is over, or at least getting close! Here's hoping. <3
Anyway, Sin time.
Dapplefern embodies Envy. She was jealous of Rosedapple for most of her life and always felt under-appreciated, which only intensified when Northstar rejected her for Rosedapple as well. Dapplefern has some deep-seated inferiority issues, and always felt under-appreciated, which led to her switching sides. Pretty straightforward. Also, she's a literal green-eyed monster, haha.
Nettlefrost is Greed. Her ambition drove her to take on every challenge thrown before her, and she also lusted after glory and praise from her Clanmates. However, she was torn between becoming deputy and having a mate. She deluded herself into thinking she could have both, which resulted in her becoming pregnant. Even then, she wasn't willing to choose one or the other, and continued to believe that she could have both without any repercussions. This led to to tragedy when she saw Eagletalon with Maplepelt, resulting in her miscarriage. Rather than give up Eagletalon and focusing solely on becoming deputy, she instead framed Maplepelt as the murderer of her kits, leading to her leaving the Clan. She clung to Eagletalon while also earning the deputyship. However, because she felt she could no longer trust Eagletalon, she wasn't satisfied. She continued to crave glory, and because of this she led many campaigns to earn territory for her Clan, and used other tom to her advantage in order to prove herself. She was never able to overcome her desire for 'more,' even after she fell in battle and went to the Dark Forest. She still craves more life, even though she wasted hers.
So, if you've been keeping track, that leaves Lust and Wrath for Chilly and Blight. Which is which? Who knows? o:
Also, have I ever told you guys how much I love theories? Like I really, really do. Theories are my favorite things to read about; the idea of creating a story complex enough to leave multiple readers theorizing about multiple plotlines and coming up with multiple conclusions is amazing to me, especially when you guys all tag on evidence and stuff. It makes me sniffle a bit. :')
@Sara Darkotter: Ooh, nice long review. Leopardpaw seems to be a bit of a mystifying character, to the other characters and to readers, haha. You're right about her growing up in the city; her attitude (and a few of her comments about city cats) hint towards that. Interesting interpretation of the Baron/Fern convo; Leopardpaw is certainly a character that would make sense for being connected, what with her sneaky demeanor and all. But what purpose would such a spy serve? The Clanners aren't up to much, really, not with the sickness diverting their attention. (When you mentioned the vagueness thing, I was considering just saying 'Maybe' for my whole response, haha :D)
@Jack Holmes: Neat theory about Carmelo and Leopardpaw, and interesting point about Flicka, since we haven't seen her for a very long time and she's only been mentioned here and there. We might be seeing more of her soon. I'm curious, where does Maggot fit into your theory? He's been out of the spotlight for a long time too, but might come into relevance again. Also, you have a ton of respect from me for writing all that on a touchscreen, haha. I hate using those to write out anything longer than a couple sentences. :)
@Lynxeye: Maybe she's just a moderately evil jerk, ha. She seems to be one of my more perplexing characters, since her allegiances are difficult to pin down and she's always sneaking around. Glad you like her! As for Jag, we'll just have to wait and see. I suppose my character-killing habits are a little excessive sometimes, though, but I have to make up for all those years where I never killed off any rping characters (I used to have over a hundred and forty in one place, and only two of them died in role-play, haha. I was too attached).
@Ranger of the Forest: Yup, Sootpaw did get angry for once, but in the end she was complacent with Bluepaw taking all the credit, unfortunately. As for Bluepaw, you're right, it was selfish of her; Bluepaw actually has some self-esteem issues, as we saw in that chapter, since StarClan bascially took no notice of her until she came back with that prophecy. She's a little attention-starved, since Bramblethorn was sort of her father and he died and all.
Ha, I'm the same was as Spiderpaw in that regard. There are very few people that I legitimately hate, but I'm kind of judgmental in real life, so I dislike plenty of them. I'm glad you like how I portray Clan life; I do like dramatics now and then, but I think the Clan dynamic is pretty interesting in itself, and it's been awhile since I was actually able to explore a Clan setting (the Clan was too new in Shattered, same for Snatched, and JtR didn't have a Clan at all) so I'm enjoying myself there. Thank you. :)
@Justsmile: Thanks, glad you like him! Yup, Leopardpaw has that skill of being able to reveal a bit more of herself and still being able to leave everyone in complete confusion, haha. She's a hard-to-pin-down kind of kitty. :)

Weeeeeeewt (45)
Whooooooooo updated early (only by a day, but still)? This gurrrrrl! :D
Ever since I tried out my old headphones, things have been flowing quite nicely, and I really hope that doesn't stop any time soon.
Thank you all for your congratulations and stuff! I'm excited to be out of high school. You guys are great. <3
I'm actually pretty pleased with this chapter, for once, because I got to do a lot of stuff that needed to be done. More setting up and such, which is always fun. And for some reason it was full of Leopardpaw, whom I love. So yeah, this chapter was fun!
Anyway:
@InkxInk: Cool, yours started half an hour before ours. Was it nice? Was anyone crying? We had some criers at mine. :p
@MatsuriWolfsong: Ha, sorry, I did it as fast as I could! It's flattering that you would stick around, though. ;)
@Sara Darkotter: Thanks! Good guess, but we'll just have to wait and see. c:
@Hermytail: Yup, he's more aggressive than he was as a kit, probably in part because his mother never really recovered (as a kit it was easy to imagine that she would regain her memories, but of course now that he's matured he knows it won't happen). It's hard, growing up when your mother doesn't remember you. :c
@Sunspirit: Good guess for Rabbitleap. I'm not sure why she would be pregnant with Rainwind's kits, though, if she's preggers at all. Her mate is Hawktalon, remember? Interesting theory about the DF cats, too, but as of right now I can't say a word. As for Bullet, he is Thistlethorn's father (although Thistle doesn't know Reed is looking for him, and Reed doesn't know the connection) and has some (??) connection with Jag. Jag mentioned Bullet a few times to Spiderpaw when he was talking about Myrtle and Destiny, too. Forest also saw Bullet once in Twolegplace, during Shattered, but only for a few moments. Rook being Bullet wouldn't make as much sense, since Bullet's blue-gray/kind of old, whereas Rook is really dark brown/fairly young. And yes, Nightingale's adorable. :D As for the phrases, you're probably write, I have a subconscious habit of using the same stuff over and over within a few sentences, bluh. I try to curb it, but most of the time it happens without me really noticing it. xD
@SwiftyGirl/Crystal: Could be! I like a lot of the Sinners too, but then again I have a nasty habit of sympathizing with everyone. Soot's certainly trusting enough to let it happen, although I'm not sure all of the Sinners would be able to go through with something like that. Yeah, Soot tends to be a bit of a welcome mat when it comes to what she wants; she's more about letting others do what they need first, and picking up the pieces later. It's definitely something she needs to work on, although I do think she's making at least a little progress, since she chewed Bluepaw out for it. And thank you! I've always enjoyed really interwoven 'tapestry' type stories, so I think I have a habit of just tying everything together whenever I can, so long as it doesn't screw up the timeline too bad. Some things just sort of happen by themselves, but others (like what I have planned for a certain she-cat, mmm) have been going on since they were introduced in Shattered. Right now it looks like Rook and Nightingale will join the Clan, since they don't really have anywhere else to go (they did side with the Clanners against Adder's group, after all, and since we recently learned that Adder is connected to Carmelo, that doesn't bode well for them).
@ScarlettFire: It's a possibility!
@Lynxeye: Ha, thank you. Some of the story falls into place without much work from me (a lot of the characters have their minds set already, and there's nothing I can do to persuade them) whereas other bits took/are taking a lot of groundwork to set up properly. I just hope the eventual pay-off is worth it! As for the parody, I'm sorta-kinda working on it when I have the time. I updated it a few months ago, I think. The chapters are really short, so it doesn't take long to write them, it's more a matter of whether I feel humorously inspired/am not too busy doing other stuff. Once I finish Chilled, I'd like to work on my other projects a lot more. And thank you. :)
@Justsmile: All good questions, but unfortunately I can't answer them yet. All will become clear in tiiiime. I find that generously sprinkling hints on each chapter (and being rather ambiguous about directly-asked questions, mm) helps. A lot of plot-questions have already been pieced together by some readers that can piece together the signs, but of course there is also still a lot that I haven't really given out yet. Just keep looking for breadcrumbs (and if you like writing long plots, remember to hand them out when you can). :D

Chapter 44 (cont)
Leaving in an hour, so let's bang this out!
@Ranger: Thank you! Darky's one of my favorites, and I often wish that I had more time to explore his character. Good guesses for Rabbitleap. :D
@Sharkfin: Thank you! I'm glad you think so highly of the story. :)
@Juniper: Yep, both kits are a little tough to love at the beginning, but you've stuck it out, so that's good. And yes, ha, a lot of people were expecting Chilly to be a POV. I love messing with you guys. c:
@Lynxeye: Spidey's definitely moving up in the world, ha. As for the chilling disease, it can be passed through contact, but the quickest way it's transferred seems to be in battle (since the sick cats caught it from TalonClan/Chillpaw). Forestheart's been in battle, and it's possible that he's already sick. He might not have contracted it in the battle, but could have gotten it from Silverstar, in which case it would take time for the effects to be shown, because the disease moves so slowly. As for the cars, you might be surprised. I can't tell you how many dead cats I've seen at the cross-sections of our little town, which was kind of an inspiration for that scene. People can be cruel. D:
@Dawnshine: Thanks, I do love cliffies. ^^
@Echoflight: Thank you! I didn't really have a date to prom, I just went with a good friend of mine (we dated in the past, so perhaps that counts?). It was a lot of fun, I had a great time!
@Jack Holmes: Thanks!
@Sunspirit: Well, perhaps I'll do it in Flying High (my parody fic, if you didn't already know). Sounds like a fun topic to explore, actually. Good point with the Forest thing, I hadn't even thought of that. Darky and Forest are both a lot alike in that sense, I suppose; it took them a long time and a lot of pursuing to get the ladies they fancied. And yeah, Spidey's apology was a little awkward, but he's just not used to being so humble! xD
@Jack Holmes: Ha, thank you very much. Chilled and Shattered are both huge mountains to climb, and I'm glad you liked it enough to give it a go. I know the length intimidates some people...I guess I just love long stories. I'm glad you enjoyed it thus far, and good luck with your own fics!
@Juniper: Yes, both of them have matured quite a bit already, although they still have quite a lengths to go. Thank you. :)
Welp, that's all for Chapter 43. Again, sorry for the wait. Until next time~!

Chapter 44
Okay, hopefully I can get this all done now because if not it might take days.
Tonight I graduate, followed by eating with my grandparents, which is in turn followed by Project Graduation, which is basically when the seniors sleep over at the high school and win prizes and play games and generally act like children. So Saturday will probably just be me sleeping.
Anyway, sorry updates have been sparse. Chilled is almost a year old now, but far smaller than Shattered, which is kind of depressing. Senior year has proven to be much busier than junior year, I'm afraid. Over the summer I might have to seek a job (gasp!) plus moving to college and everything, so I'm not sure how things will go. I really hope to finish Chilled before I move to college, because there's no telling what that will be like.
Bah, this sounds depressing. Moving on.
@Honeystream: Thank you for being the first! I know a lot of people are too busy to review, but sometimes it can be a little depressing when the Viewers number rises and the Reviews number stagnates. Anyway, I think the idea of Sootpaw being alone is pretty interesting. I do like independent lady-folk, but for some reason I always end up pairing them up anyway (Blackheart/Darkstar, Frostfeather/Darkstorm, etc.). I guess I just want everyone to be happy by finding love, haha. As for Blackfeather, she might have been talking about Spidey. It's amazing how oblivious he can be about stuff like that, considering how sharp he is with other details. And by all means, write a Black/Spider one-shot, if you want! That's always extremely flattering. I understand missing some of the older characters. That's why I always hated reading sequels; they're always about the new generation instead of the old. Perhaps more of my one-shots in the future can feature kitties like Ravenwing or Frostfeather.
Whoops, looks like I'm running out of time. I'll get to the rest of the reviews ASAP!

Supppp 43
So, this chapter is a day late, and I feel bad, but considering how my schedule has been lately I guess it's okay??
Also as I mentioned in my AN I have a crapton of stuff to do this week and the next, so updates might be slow again. Sorry! I still love you all. D:
@Hazelnose: It's weird how many people mentioned liking Fogheart's name in this chapter, especially since most of them have never said anything about it before? It's funny because he was barely in this chapter at all, ha. But I'm glad you like his name. It's one of my favorite -heart names that I've come up with thus far, I must admit. Yes, Sooty has a tendency to act all calm and try to be composed, but it tends to explode out of her at inconvenient times, especially when Chilly is around. Dude's like a magnet for emotions or something (opposites attract??). Glad you liked the chapter, and thank you. :D
@Sunspirit: Maybe we'll get confrontations next chapter? And hopefully Bluepaw can explain herself. As for Whitecloud, her fate is ambiguous for the moment. After all, it's not set in stone that the one lives/one dies theory is entirely correct. Jaypaw's pretty sick at the moment, so if he was to die then the balance would already be shifted. Or, Whitecloud could live for a short period of time only to die later. The dreams aren't all that clear, really. And no more hints for Rabbitleap! I've sprinkled a few throughout the last few Soot chapters already. c:
@Tangleflame: Yup, the lil Thundertracks is indeed a bike trail. I've always wanted to bike around places, but unfortunately I'm too lazy/long legs make rides fairly uncomfortable, since I've outgrown my own bike. Ah well, one can dream. :p
@Jiay: Glad you like it. Yeah, I know the plot is kind of glacial (fitting, considering the title?). I tend to get stuck laying down the paths for future events/character development. When things really start taking off near the end, it'll be over so quickly no one will know what's going on, just like Shattered, I'm afraid. |D I'm not really sure what you meant about Sootpaw; when she's dreaming, her own personal thoughts are never in italics, and she is part of the dream because they take place within her own mind...? If you're talking about the journeying dreams, it's true that she can't really influence them, but she's still connected to them. They take place within her dreams, so they're kind of a part of her? It's murky territory. As for Rook, I knew his accent wasn't going so well in this chapter, but he didn't have many lines and there weren't many words I could Rookify without mangling everything, unfortunately. Maybe he'll have more screentime next chapter. |D
@Shadowmist: Chilled has so many shipping possibilities, and I do love ship-teasing (maybe I'll write a Spider/Reed oneshot just to make everyone cry??). A poem would be really neat, if you have time! I'd love to read it. I always find it kind of intimidating that people actually want to write about my characters. It's sort of freaky, but also kind of flattering? Thanks for the lil Spider/Black peek. Of course Black would be the calm one, and Spider's so easily embarrassed. |D
@Ranger of the Forest: Thank you! Interesting theory about Rabbitleap. Rabbit/Hawk kits would be pretty amazing, but they would also probably be a lot of trouble. The last thing you want on a journey is an uber-pregnant she-cat running around. ^^
@Nalasleafheart: Aww, thank you! I'm glad you like the story thus far. Please don't stay up so late, though, I wouldn't want your grades to suffer because of me. I do plan on becoming an author someday, but I think I need a lot more practice before I get there. :p
@WilliamBurn: Thank you!
@Willowstream: Ha, it's okay. You could always subscribe or something (I forget how it works) to let the site send you an e-mail when I update? And thanks. I'm fond of Nightingale's name too; there's something about it that I've always liked, and when she popped into my head the name was absolutely perfect for her. :)
