For the record, nothing as down-to-earth as StarKit's face emerging from a circle in the sky happens in this fanfictionnote ... until the epilogue, when it does.
StarKits Prophcy (also found here at the author's website) is a now-completed Warrior CatsFan Fic that chronicles the life of StarGleam, StarClan's chosen one, from her apprentice ceremony onward. She deals with such trials and tribulations as a Love Dodecahedronwith Firestar, Graystripe, Blackstar, Hawkfrost, and Ashfur; the threat of Hollyleaf and Tigerstar as they try to take over the forest; and attempting to convert the Clans to Christianity. Somewhere along the way she discovers that she (along with the author) is a lesbian, becomes leader of ThunderClan, and dies multiple times.It is a full-on Random Events Plot. If you really feel you must attempt to make sense of it, go ahead and read it yourself — but be warned, you may lose brain cells in the process.Three amusing dramatic readings have surfaced so far. They can be found here (continued here), here, and here.Arguably the Warriors equivalent of My Immortal. See also Hidden Prophices.The author has also started a sequel, titled StarKits PRophec 2: The Two Sibinglgs. A new Clan called MapleClan is introduced. Stargleam and some other characters from the first fic are in StarClan, and they receive a new prophecy to pass on to the Clans.
Ask a Stupid Question...: After experiencing her own death, StarGleam needs to ask how she died. And then almost immediately afterwards has to ask if she is dead again.
'"who is StarGlaem" asked StarGleam'
Author Filibuster: Screw the plot, using two whole chapters to teach the Clans about how important it is to find StarClan (i.e. God) is much more important.
The author also goes out of her way to remind us that GleamStar and HawkFrost don't have sex before getting married.
It strays into straight Author Tract for a while, as for a long period of time the story is more about how "wrong" it is to be gay than any consistant plot element.
Artistic License - Religion: The Clans have never heard of God, nor do they practice any human religions. Yet they still say "Oh my god!" (or rather "OMG!" or "MOGOSH!"), and the Ten Commandments (or rather "Ten Commons") play a role in the story.
The fact that anybody who doesn't like the fic is instantly a "stnist" who hates "jEssus" may count, too.
Beige Prose: Especially early in the story.... "The cats gathered around a pool. They all looked into it eagerly. A dark shape appeared on the surface. A blue she cat looked up. Her eyes were bright."
Big OMG: "OMIGOSH U MEAN LIKE SCOURG?" STARPAW SHOCKED.
CamelCase: In the original series, the "Clan" in ThunderClan is always capitalized, whereas the suffixes of the names never are. This fanfic inverts that, other than the occasional mistake which corrects the original mistake.
Captain Obvious: "You see there is this prophcy Starcaln gave me it said out of the darkness, stars will come and get rid of the evil tiger and holly." StarPaw gasped. "What does it mean?"
This is taken up a notch in the Christmas Special, where the birth of Starkit is shown. The scene plays out exactly like the birth of Jesus. This quote from the chapter says it all: "This is our savor." said Bluesatr. "We know it. We sae t in the stars. Starkit will ne JESUSS!1!1!1!11"
Conflict Ball: Three toms decide they want StarPaw for themselves, leaving StarPaw upset and indecisive about which one to like.
Now with the added conflict that she seems to be in love with Hawkfrost and she doesn't want to be (even though she seems perfectly fine with other cats WHO ALREADY HAVE MATES liking her...)
But this gets resolved when she just becomes Hawkfrost's mate anyway, without any complaints at all.
flamrs ur all satanits!11 anyon who dosent like the stro is a staneist cause StarGIPaw has such a strng conecton with sTarcaln and thats why you dot like it, its cause u do ntlik JEZUS!
Everythings Better With Cows: MOOOOOOOOO!note Sadly, there are no actual cows in the story. The above example is a result of the author mixing up the "N" and "M" keys.
Fan Disservice: The author tries to make all of the same-sex kisses into this. It doesn't work.
Given that the gay and lesbian characters come off as a lot more generous, kind, and reasonable than the hero, the failure here was basically a foregone conclusion.
Fandom Specific Plot: A new kit is born into ThunderClan, there's a prophecy by StarClan proclaiming she will save the forest, and she becomes leader. What makes this one special is its hilariously bad execution and extreme Writer on Board tendencies.
Fan Nickname: All the various misspellings of characters' names and words from the series.
Flat "What.": '"Yo couldt kill im becas u're nut dead." "what" said StarGleam'
"'what.' said TigerKit hi shocked."
Freudian Slip: Several. Highlights include 'GayStrip locked at hr meanly.', '"without them we wold be lust."', '"NO!" shitted SarPaw Again runnin into the forst.', '"IM A SHAPSHITTER!" siad Hollylea joyly.', 'Wit a rar like an volcano erection she jumped at StarGlaem!' and 'StarGleam shitting her paws', "They all new infancy it was she whom was beng mad a warrior".
Gayngst: StarGleam has a moment of Teh Gay when she thinks RedPaw is beautiful. She does, however, quickly re-convince herself that she is "street."
And now RedPaw and LakePool feel sad because they aren't allowed to be in love... d'awww.
Also becomes in inversion, since all of the gay and lesbian couples are perfectly happy; it's StraPaw that constantly wangsts at the fact that they're gay.
Giftedly Bad: The author, xdark.rosesx. It's a wonder she managed to spell her username correctly.
Even that's questionable, as on the official Warrior Cats forum, where she has made one or two posts, her handle is "xdarkrosesx"; perhaps the period was a mistake.
StarGleam seems to get referred to as "Kawaii" more and more as the fic goes on.
Hawkfrost once elects to use "iie" rather than "no."
And there's StarGleam's "IIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEE !1!" from Chapter 30.
Hawkfrost is occasionally referred to with Japanese Honorifics, as "Hacky-kin" or "Hawkfrost-kun". Also, two of the chapter intros have the author calling one of her friends "jazzie-kun".
Also counts as G-Rated Sex, as it appears that the characters hadn't had any kind of opportunity to engage in intercourse (even if that would somehow get them pregnant).
Leaning on the Fourth Wall: StarPaw mentions that she has discovered SLASH, meaning that she has apparently gone around reading other fan fics.
Logical Fallacies: The author admits to herself that she is a lesbian after she discovers slash. How reading stories about two men makes someone realise that they like women is a mystery.
Process of elimination.
May-December Romance: StarGleam and Firestar, Blackstar, or Graystripe; any one of those would be this. Also Hollyleaf and Tigerstar.
Point of View: Is usually told in third person, but spontaneously switches to first for two sentences in Chapter 25 The Ask Qestion.
Precision F-Strike: "ACCEPT JESUS MOTHERFUCKERS!" This also the only time in the entire fic that the word "Jesus" is spelled correctly, as well as the only time the F-word or any swear words are even used intentionally.
Protagonist-Centered Morality: The author apparently believes that the laws of morality change to suit her needs. Up until Chapter 28: NO BEING GAY and "being lesbna is WONG!" Chapter 28: she discovers that she is a lesbian (by reading slash). Chapter 30: "JUSES MIGHT LIKE GAT PPPL NOW BUT THAT DOENT MEAN EH LIKKS FLAMMERS". Please, God, let it be a Troll Fic...
"'noooooo' said GleamStart. She was greif. Teras falled down her sparkling grey checks. The shoned like the sun on her spakling checks. Her reinbow eyes where glowed lick skys after rani.. It was beutifly thohth HawkForts."
"Hw was too tired Starlgema roped her claws down his nicke her esyes robbling!11 She was so beutufl in btale thought. Hr bleu fur shone in the moanlight!1 her eyes burned with NGR. She was one of the barviest cats the hades ever seen."
Reincarnation: StarGleam is "riencarted" after being struck by lightning.
Retcon: "BENG GAY!f" suddenly stops being a sin in Chapter 28.
Rouge Angles of Satin: All the time, from the chapter titles to the character names and everything in between.
Notable examples are how "Hollylea" is now a "SHAPSHITTER" who can turn into a "bare", and when "TiggerStraw" tries to kill "FuhrStar" with "SOME JEW!"
There is even one instance of "satan" becoming "satin".
Don't forget, people who flame the story are "stnits" who don't believe in "ljess".
As far as misspellings related to the author's religious fanaticism go, on her profile she says she hates Cloudtail and Mothwing because they're "athletes".
Bizarrely averted with the word "rogue" itself, which is actually spelled right. Of course, considering the nature of the fic, this could, in the author's mind, actually be a spelling error.
Say My Name: "FLAMEAPWWW!" "Fuhrstar!" "LIonHEAR!" And so on.
Self-Fulfilling Prophecy: The prophecy oddly turns out to be this because "Tiger" was referring to Tigerkit, who wouldn't have been born without Glamestar, even though Tigerstar himself was also to blame for the trouble.
Big "NO!": The first one debuts in chapter 12, and they get more and more frequent until there's one or more per chapter.
There is also a Big Moo, and a Big "~!11!11!1!1!11!1!11!1!1!1!11!1!1!11!111111".
Stealth Parody: We can only hope it's a parody of bad fanfiction...
Suddenly Sexuality: The author suddenly decides that she is a plebian in an author's note in Chapter 28.
Sudden Name Change: At the end of Chatper Forr GayStripe, Graystripe asks StarGleam who she picks. Starpaw doesn't get her warrior name until chapter 9.
The Chessmaster: Soul, who was behind everything. Possibly supposed to be Sol.
After the fic was originally removed from Fanfiction Dot Net, the early chapters were renumbered "oen", "too", "thee", four, "Forr", "Fivee", six, "Sven", seven, "Nien", ten, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, "Eithen", "Ninten", then continuing as before from "Chapter 19 The Nwe Love" (which is actually the 20th chapter excluding the prologue).
