  • Cherith
Outcome
  • None
  • Unknown
  • True
  • none
  • False.
  • Most likely true.
  • Lionblaze had Tigerstar as a mentor, although he was a Place of No Stars cat.
  • True, there was a third series and another super edition. However, many other books were written after the Power of Three arc and Firestar's Quest
  • True. This has been stated in one of the other chats
  • Cherith isn't sure.
  • False, was true at the time though
  • Graystripe takes Millie as a mate.
  • True, Cody appeared in Dawn and Susan and Jacques in Sunset. Also, Millie became important in The Sight.
  • Unsure, as it has never been proven, but as read in Firestar's Quest, he seems happy with his new neighbor.
  • Unsure, Cherith Baldry mentioned: "I doubt it".
  • Unsure, Cherith stated "in theory".
  • Unsure, as it hasn't been stated again
  • False. Only Reedwhisker lived to become a warrior, her other three kits died before that time, as seen in Mistystar's Omen.
  • Most likely true, but later the fourth arc is written.
  • Thistleclaw hadn't appeared at the time, however, he appeared in the future in The Rise of Scourge, Bluestar's Prophecy, Crookedstar's Promise, Night Whispers, Sign of the Moon, The Forgotten Warrior, and The Last Hope.
  • Unsure, Cherith quoted: "About three months, I think, but it's a while now so I don't remember too well!"
  • False, Dustpelt is Sandstorm's uncle, and most likely true about Dustpelt's initial hostility towards Firestar.
  • Unsure, Cherith Baldry stated: "As far as I know..."
  • Unsure, Cherith stated she doesn't think they're able to do it.
  • At this point in time, Ravenpaw has joined StarClan. He is seen giving Bramblestar a life in The Ultimate Guide.
  • False, as Bluestar is Whitestorm's aunt, Snowfur being her sister. However, Cherith mentioned: "Not as far as I know".
  • False, Egg was an apprentice, but his name didn't end with paw.
answer
  • Yes.
  • Yes!
  • Right.
  • Not really.
  • There's an important kittypet character in Dawn, and later on some sort-of kittypets come into the story.
  • There aren't any plans at the moment, but I'd be delighted if it happened!
  • There was a tour last May - I had a terrific time! It's possible there'll be another next year, but nothing is fixed yet.
  • It varies, depending on when the deadline is. Roughly three months, though I did do one in a month, and that was *hard* work!
  • No, but there would be a suitable place for the Clan leader to address the Clan.
  • Most of the cats are fictional, but Firestar may have been based on a cat Kate Cary knew, and Brambleclaw and Sorreltail were based on Cherith's cats.
  • Not really, though it can be hard to come up with the exact right name. We discussed for a long time what Squirrelpaw's warrior name would be.
  • I think StarClan's normal way of working isn't to interfere directly with Clan life, but to guide through dreams and signs.
  • Kate wrote books 1, 2 and 4 of the first arc , and I wrote 3, 5 and 6.
  • Nightstar just died from the sickness in ShadowClan, it had no villainy involved.
  • Some books are easier to write than others, but it's always a great joy to do, because there's so much in them.
  • Firestar's love for Spottedleaf was never shown that often in Into the Wild because he didn't get much time with her as he was only a new apprentice at the time, while she was a medicine cat. There probably wouldn't have been more of a relationship if she had lived because medicine cats can't have mates.
  • A hill with caves under it.
  • A large piece of quartz, I imagine.
  • Book 5 in the New Prophecy arc is called Twilight
  • Chocolate!
  • Feathertail.
  • Getting to know so many fabulous cat characters.
  • Hmmm...maybe.
  • Yes, we both write other books. I don't have a website and I don't know if Kate does. Try googling on our names - you'll see a number of my other books if you look up Cherith Baldry on, say, Amazon.
  • I like both, but I prefer the US ones.
  • It's a bit early for that.
  • It's not usual.
  • Most likely yes.
  • No, I don't think so.
  • Very rough, because we've really developed it beyond that now.
  • I think my absolute favourite is when Firestar gets his nine lives, but I also like the scene where he accuses Tigerstar to the Clan at the end of Book 3.
  • Yes, I like Book 6 of the first arc, because so many threads come together in it.
  • That's a problem the cats tackle in Book 4.
  • The US ones.
  • The dogs were terrified and ran off.
  • They grew up to be warriors.
  • They stay happily with their Twolegs.
  • Vicky does that.
  • Victoria Holmes thought of all the titles.
  • Yes, one of my earliest memories is of sitting on my grandfather's knee and reading him a story I had written.
  • When we started, it was based on the New Forest in the south of England, but as we developed the ideas it became more of a fantasy place, so it isn't really located anywhere specific now.
  • Whitestorm was not related to Bluestar.
  • Who can say?
  • Eeek - these 'time' names confuse me. Let's see...it's Starlight, Twilight, and Sunset, I think.
  • Yes, we felt quite smug about that!
  • Yes, there's one important other animal who comes into NP.
  • Thistleclaw, who never actually appeared as a character, but would've become the deputy if Bluefur had kept her kits.
  • Cloudtail will most likely never believe in StarClan.
  • The readers don't, or haven't until now. It's the editor's job to make sure the styles match.
  • The first Warriors book, Into the Wild took about three months to write.
  • Believe it or not, we have never met! We were brought together as writing partners by Vicky, who is wonderful!
  • The official site at present is warriorcats.com, but I don't think there's a discussion facility.
  • I think Yellowfang best represents me, because she gets irritable easily, and Leafpaw because she thinks about things a lot.
  • Whitestorm was the only cat Bluestar trusted all the time.
  • Patchpelt and Halftail might have been at Firestar's leadership ceremony, but there were lots of StarClan warriors, too many to name them all. The most important cats in Firestar's life that hunted with StarClan at that time gave him his nine lives.
  • Not really. They are usually dramatic and emotional, and I find that kind of thing quite easy to write.
  • Ferncloud didn't lose so much family for any specific reason, although she was the only cat with young kits at the time, and the very young and very old cats are at the most risk during hard times.
  • That might be what we do for the special edition, but again I can't say for certain because we haven't worked out that story yet.
  • Yes, in theory I'm sure they can, but I don't know what would make them do it. They didn't reject Tigerstar or Brokentail, after all. They rejected Nightstar, who if you remember never got his nine lives, but that was because Brokentail was still alive.
  • Because that's the way it is. Kits' names end with 'kit'.
  • I like most of them: Firestar is one, and I like Leafpool
  • I don't know about his beliefs. He met Bluestar when she traveled past the farm to get to Highstones.
  • No, hardly anything at all. Usually when Vicky sees my first draft she thinks of extra things we might put in.
  • Kate wrote Into the Wild, Fire and Ice, and Rising Storm, while Cherith Baldry wrote Forest of Secrets, A Dangerous Path, and The Darkest Hour of the Original arc.
  • It would depend on the individual. Ravenpaw does, for example, because he was a Clan cat.
  • The whole idea for the Warriors series was discussed between me, Kate Cary, and Victoria Holmes.
  • Bluestar didn't trust any of the apprentices in the last three books of the original arc.
  • Medicine cats have a special way of getting their full name, and you'll find out about that in this current arc.
  • I don't think that the cats have the idea of ghosts in that way.
  • We believed that after the first arc, Firestar's story was pretty much over, so they started the next arc from a fresh viewpoint, and alternated the viewpoints so they could do viewpoints in other Clans.
  • I don't think we'll ever outsell Harry Potter! But it's doing very well otherwise. As you probably know, Midnight and Moonrise both made the New York Times bestseller list.
  • No, and so Dustpelt was snarky with Firestar at first because he liked Sandstorm, but she liked Firestar best.
  • The special edition may be, but I'm not promising, because we haven't worked out what will happen in that one yet.
  • That was Vicky. She's brilliant at names and titles!
  • I can't say at the moment, the third arc is still very much in the melting pot.
  • After the New Prophecy arc, there will be another arc of six and one special edition.
  • No, I don't think they're able to do that, and they can't get very close to observe them because it's too dangerous.
  • Scourge isn't called Scourgestar because he and BloodClan don't believe in StarClan, so he isn't a nine-lived leader like ordinary Clan leaders.
