RE:
What do you need help on? Names, plot, character personalities? ♞ ☮SorrelΩflower☯ ⛄ I'm watching you...

Of course, definitely! Is there anything specific you would like it to say, or just your username and your talk page? No one has asked me to make them a signature in eons, so I'm happy to do so. :) -- Forever     we sail into infinity   14:44, May 27, 2013 (UTC)

Hello, Gingerstripe! Welcome to the wiki! Gingerear (talk) 14:47, May 27, 2013 (UTC)

Okeedoke Ginger, I decided to just go ahead and make you a base, which you can tell me to modify if you don't like it or want something changed. I started out and made you a page for your signature, and you can find it here. Check the signature out, see if you like it, and then tell me if you want anything changed. I can redo the text, the font, the color, the text shadow, anything you like!

If you're pleased with it, here's what you do.

First, hover over the little arrow next to your username in the top right corner of the page. Once the drop down box appears, go to 'My preferences', and once there, scroll until you reach the section titled 'Signature'. In the white box that says 'Custom Signature,' type { { User:Gingerstripe/Sig } } without any of the spaces. Check the box to include Wiki text, and then scroll to the bottom of the screen and hit save! in the same 'Signatures' section, just above the white box, your signature should appear. It should be just as I showed you on your page, but if not, let me know!

I hope you like it. :)

Of course, no problem. :3 -- Forever     we sail into infinity   23:46, May 27, 2013 (UTC)

Thanks! Haha, and of course! I originally borrowed that idea from one of GB's stories (@lakeclan.com), so. :3 -- Forever     we sail into infinity   20:28, May 28, 2013 (UTC)

Hey ginger. I was reading Feathers Fall, and I love it. Could I adopt it, since you don't want it?I need to get my issues in order. They keep jumping out the window. (talk) 15:34, June 8, 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, go ahead. I don't know if you have to do the six day rule if I give you permission but *shrugs*. I would just like you to not change too much, and give me credit for first 2 and half books! Thanks! I'd like to see Linked get a little more attention :) I Love Rock n Roll, So Put Another Dime In the Jukebox Baby 00:44, June 9, 2013 (UTC)

Honestly, I think it's brilliant. Thanks Ginger! (hugs)I need to get my issues in order. They keep jumping out the window. (talk) 02:03, June 9, 2013 (UTC)

Is it okay if I finish Shattered Like Dewdrops in Linked? Then you could start the next book? (you can still adopt it, I just wanted to finish the last one in that set) I Love Rock n Roll, So Put Another Dime In the Jukebox Baby 16:28, June 9, 2013 (UTC)

It's cause there's a usernametemplate there. For me, it says, Hello, Mistybird! Which I find creepy. xD

That's me Misty! That's me

TTTE Warriors: Redfur
I was planning on Redfur being in the series, but just a little later when i do the special for Hero Of The Rails. She's going to become a part of the Cat Pack, but in the story she's going to be chained up right next to Hiro, the Japanese engine. (A little bit of a spoiler!) Don't worry, she'll be in TTTE Warriors, Ginger!

BC, the one, the only, and the AWESOME! (talk) 20:43, June 11, 2013 (UTC)

Sorry! I shall be editing Linked furiously, so you can start editing the second set. As for who gets to adopt it, I don't care if it is you or Gingerear. You can work that out, I guess. I just wanted to make sure that she knew that you already asked to adopt it. I Love Rock n Roll, So Put Another Dime In the Jukebox Baby 17:39, June 12, 2013 (UTC)

All right, you can start editing Linked now. I have just finished the third book, so you're not starting right in the middle of something. I ask that you leave the stuff I wrote before, though, thanks! And in the succession boxes, it says the book coming after, it doesn't matter if the next book is that title. Okay, it's all yours now! I Love Rock n Roll, So Put Another Dime In the Jukebox Baby 21:26, June 14, 2013 (UTC)

Linked
All right, Stormy said that she didn't particularly care who got Linked, so I guess we are going to have to sort that out. I wouldn't mind if you took it, but if you would rather have me take it, that's fine. Or perhaps we could even work on it together - you know, make it into a collab. What do you think? Gingerear (talk) 16:43, June 15, 2013 (UTC)

I got your message, though I'm not quite sure what you mean. Of course to know me better - there is no magical barrier preventing you from talking to me. What exactly did you mean? Do you want me to go on chat or something? Gingerear (talk) 04:39, June 16, 2013 (UTC)

Oh. Well, I suppose I'll go ask Stormy about that, but I don't think she'll mind if we make a collab. Still, better to be safe than to be sorry. Gingerear (talk) 05:37, June 16, 2013 (UTC)

Stormy said it was okay!

So ... what do you want to do for the next book - or should we make it up as we go along? Gingerear (talk) 16:14, June 16, 2013 (UTC)

Well, that's an interesting idea, but I don't think its workable. Both Hawkpaw and Splashpaw were determined to be warriors in the first arc, so it would look weird if we suddenly had one of them wanting to be a medicine cat. More importantly, we can't have one of them train as a warrior and one of them as a medicine cat because they are stuck together. They have to do everything together. For example, if Hawkpaw had to on patrol, and someone got injured elsewhere, Splashpaw would not be prepared to treat them. She would have to run back to camp, get the herbs, and then run over the injured cat. Plus, Hawkpaw would miss out on the rest of the patrol, which could be a patrol to, say, scout out the TwilightClan defenses. That's really not an ideal situation. Gingerear (talk) 00:50, June 17, 2013 (UTC)

Stormy mentioned that she had intended to have JungleClan continue traveling through the jungle before she gave up the story. She also wanted to focus on the apprenticeship of Hawkpaw and Splashpaw. I figured it was worth saying.

Anyway, do you want to do that? Or should we do something else?

We also need to decide what happens to Flameblossom's kits; after all, they are the half-siblings of the main characters, so they will have an impact on the story. Will they be stillborn, or will they survive?

Should we just deal with DuskClan and TwilightClan chasing after them, or should we have JungleClan run into SunClan, MoonClan, and DawnClan? I was thinking of making it so the latter three Clans had given up on the chase a long time ago, and DuskClan, TwilightClan, and JungleClan were just myths to them, and then JungleClan runs into them. But we have to do that - that was just my idea.

Who should we have serving as temporary deputy while Flameblossom is expecting/nursing her kits?

I was thinking of Icemist acting as foster mother to Waterkit and Swallowkit, since Mintberry is now dead, and Icemist's kits are now apprentices.

Should we introduce actual characters from the other Clans?

Lilydrop will have to be included somehow, of course.

And I was thinking of asking Stormy if we could change a few of the names to make them more realistic. After all, what would a cat living in a jungle know about ice, or nettles, or mint? Or do you think we should just leave the names as is?

Should we have Hawkpaw and Splashpaw fall in love, or not?

Perhaps we could include some of the grotesque things TwilightClan does to make themselves beautiful? I was thinking of TwilightClan plunging into strange pools of acid that make their fur and eye colors prettier or stranger somehow. Of course, we don't have to do that either.

Any questions? Comments? Ideas? Sorry for leaving such a long message, I just wanted to get Linked planned out.

Gingerear (talk) 16:06, June 19, 2013 (UTC)

I just love the idea of Stormpelt being temporary deputy. That's perfect.

As for Flameblossom and Icemist, it would make sense if there was a fight, though we shouldn't have the fight start right away. Let the tension grow between the two for a while. Have Icemist grow bitter and depressed, have Hawk and Splash try to comfort her, then let a big fight break out later on in the storyline - perhaps after Flameblossom's kits are born and aware of their surroundings? I think Flameblossom is pretty heavy right now.

Having some TwilightClan cat disagreeing with the whole acid thing would be an awesome idea.

Do you agree/disagree with everything else? Gingerear (talk) 14:46, June 20, 2013 (UTC)

There is no way I am having Hawkpaw or Splashpaw falling in love with one of Flameblossom's kits. They are half-siblings. That would be incest. We could have them befriend the newborn kits, but no romance. Just - no.

And, what do you mean by, "I don't disagree"? Are you referring to the fight with the fight between Flameblossom and Icemist we were discussing, or are you saying you don't disagree with any of my ideas? Gingerear (talk) 00:52, June 21, 2013 (UTC)

It's okay, don't worry about it.

Now, as for the names of certain cats.

I was thinking of renaming Nettlestar Pantherstar, calling Mintberry Grayberry, and perhaps Icemist should be called Whitemist, with Stormy's permission. What do you think? Gingerear (talk) 15:29, June 21, 2013 (UTC)

Stormy says it's okay! I'm going to type the changed names in now. Gingerear (talk) 15:46, June 22, 2013 (UTC)

No. I think Stormy was planning on calling it "Risen Flames", but I really don't think that would work.

And a couple more ideas I came up with (I know, my mind is a bubbling stewpot of ideas).

I think we should portray Waterkit as being mentally scarred by the death of his mother and everything ... somehow. And that snake? The one that gave Hawkpaw and Waterpaw that prophecy? I think he/she should play a role too.

Anyway I think we should plan out a prologue/chapter 1 before we come up with a book title. I'll try to come up with one. Let me know if you have any questions or comments or ideas. Gingerear (talk) 14:48, June 23, 2013 (UTC)
