* SeriesContinuityError: Clawface is a pretty major character in ''Tigerclaw's Fury'', despite dying well before the novella begins.

to:

* CastHerd: Each novella features a different one, often separated temporally as well as physically.
* BreakoutCharacter: Several cats (notably Ravenpaw, Goosefeather, and Mapleshade) were chosen to star in novellas because of their extreme popularity within the fandom.
* CharacterNameAndTheNounPhrase: The "Character Name's Noun Phrase" variant. The novellas share this trait with the Super Editions.
* CrisisOfFaith: Cloustar suffers one. He starts out as a deeply religious cat, but by the end of his novella he has denounced [=StarClan=].
* DownerEnding: ''Cloudstar's Journey''. [=SkyClan=] is banished, Cloudstar will never see his mate again in life and won't get to watch his kits grow up. And it keeps getting sadder after the novella ends: [=SkyClan=] will have a long, dangerous journey to find the gorge, and even after they do, their Clan gets destroyed by rats.
* EasilyForgiven: Well, easy for Tigerclaw. The followers who abandoned him when it was clear he was losing the fight against [=ThunderClan=] end up [[spoiler:getting no comeuppance whatsoever, other than Tigerclaw's irritation.]]

* NeverTrustATitle: ''Cloudstar's Journey''. Cloudstar is well known for being the cat who took [=SkyClan=] away from the forest, so the title of his novella seems to imply that it's about that journey. Nope, it's actually just the moon or so before the events of the ''Firestar's Quest'' prologue.
