"It's a "what-if the DF won" story. I love the idea of that concept, but the only ones I can find are Hunger Games/Warriors crossovers, or something else that just can't keep my fleeting attention. But I have this new story idea and... I love it."

Cats Outside the Clans

The Tribe of Rushing Water

Ohhh boy. There's a story behind this one, I promise.

Written in the Stars (or WitS, as I call it) has been my brain-baby for roughly four years. Over the last four years I've written about twenty outlines for a story, I've revamped and recreated the characters, I've re-written countless chapters and one day I finally decided that WitS would just never come to fruition; I loved the concept and the characters, but I would never be able to write it and feel like I did it justice.

That latest for about a year.

A few weeks ago I started thinking about WitS again and everything I had planned for it, and... I fell in love with it all over again. I haven't been able to get it off my mind or focus on writing How to Come Home or The Impossible Life of a SkyClan Warrior, and I decided to just sit down and try writing it one more time.

I don't have a solid updating schedule for WitS, and I most likely never will. I didn't even want to post this, but sheer curiosity won me over; I need to know what you guys think of it! So I'll let this just sit in the archives for a week or so, and if I'm blown away by the response then it will become my top priority.

So without further ado, welcome to Written in the Stars!
