Oh I just looove Koikit as a name!! Why did I not think of it... >.<
It'll fit her much better!! Koi is one of my favourite prefixes on red and black cats with alot of white. I feel really stupid now.

And what?? Pfft, that age-difference is nothing!! Kat I think your good. (Yo, you forget 'bout Bloodyclaws and his ladies!?!)
As long as she's like 12 months before she starts anything (It's like the 18 in cats) I'm fine with it.

Harebelly x Dove there was a 24 moon difference. (two years!) 114 - 90
Bearstar x Ashenfrost there is a 9 moon difference. 52 - 43

Do any of you more experience CaC people have any advice for writing battle scenes?? xD I'm opening with one, and have no idea what to do. There's no rush though, I'm not posting until the season changes in something more... desirable.

@Rebellious

What do you need help with exactly? I might be able to help, I don't exactly have lots of experience but I enjoy writing them...

@Arya
Well I'm starting my post off as a flashback of sorts of Bearstar's when their colony was attacked by their NPC enemy clan Yellowclan.
(It's a flashback because in the current time-line he's safe at the barn. It's sort of a recap or whatever of what happened to bring them there. Share their history. He's also basically reliving it in his dreams because afterwards he has a dream with his mother Dove from Starclan.)

It's going to jump straight off with Bearstar attacking someone. I just wanted to know if there's like any tips tricks ect. on how to get inspired to write a battle scene and stuff. I'm really stuck on it. My writing also doesn't sound really natural. It's all jumpy and all over the place. It feels like I'm moving on waay to fast. I figure an action-y scene like this should have loads of detail to really make everyone feel immersed.

@Rebellious

Loads of detail, but not too much either. A fight scene needs to keep moving, with too much detail it kind of stops the story and all you want is to keep going with it. And then again you can't go too fast either... I guess it's a fine line.
XD sorry I don't feel like I'm helping at all...

@Arya
No, no! It does help. xD I'll give it a shot again in a few. I need to get dressed and get some food in my tummy. (As well as stop youtube from distracting me) We'll see how this goes!

@Rebel

Good luck! Writing battle-scenes can be difficult but I know you can do it!
Tell me when it's up so I can read it!

@Rebel
I think it would have to be from the point of view. Would it be seen through Bearstar's eyes? Or from an on-looker? Is he fighting a lot? Or has he finished his battle and looking around to help others? seeing the carnage? Also with battle scene you can't go to far into detail because it needs to remain child friendly. Another thing is how are you planning to exit the battle scene?

@Dino
Thank you!!
I plan on posting it as soon as I have it finished and when the season changes over into Newleaf. xD I don't want my poor cats trudging through snow in their new home.

@amethyst
Third-person Bearstar's POV.
He is fighting alot he's pretty much in the middle of the whole battle. He was sort of like the deputy back in the colony waiting to take over his parents positions when they keeled over or gave it up. So he's in the front-line.
He's on the losing side of the battle (I mean you have a small colony of rogues up against an entire clan of cats. Alot of the cats in the colony are elderly looking to spend their final days or mothers seeking protection for their kits as well.) too, so he's not planning on sticking there until his last breath. His main focus is buying time for his family and others to escape.

How I plan to exit the battle scene... Well it's basically just him reliving his experience through a dream. So how I planned on ending it was through a sort of fade. There's no definite like: "He finished off the final enemy. The battle was done. He gathered his surviving family and fled." It's more of "And with that he turned back into the battle..." With no implication of how he got out, or if he did - besides from the fact we had a time skip and he's waking up from the dream perfectly alive and well.

[amethyst14]

That is definitely a rough position to write for, so I wish you the best. I think entering on a finished fight with another cat would be best and having it to were he didn't even have enough time to look up before he was pounced on by another cat(or more) would emphasize how out-numbered he is?

Alright, I finished your art! Here's Jaystar and the kits.
