hullo ! \o thanks for checking my thread. so, i've got tons of ideas, but I'm going to list four of them, and focus on those for now.
1. A Warriors AU where instead of being taken in by ThunderClan, Rusty (or Firepaw) joins the ranks of ShadowClan and learns how to be a wild cat.
2. Another Warriors AU, this one is set after The Last Hope. Starclan has taken leave, and the Clans are left in turmoil. Deciding the only way forward is to have a new fresh start, each Clan sends a cat from their respective Clan to search for a new home...
3. Some of you might remember me mentioning Australian Clans; I've also sent in some asks about this to The Feline-Helix. well, these are it. This one plays around with the (used-to-be, I'm assuming) human-turned-cat trope. A human kills a Clan cat, and karma kicks in afterwards. They awaken, and find themselves turned into the very thing they killed... A magical Starclan is being worked on, and i'm most excited for this one !
4. Before I came up with the three ideas u see above, I was working on some Clans set in Illinois, Shawnee National Forest to be specific. Not too sure on where I want to take this one, but there's gonna be stuff going down. \o
and there you have it ! as I come up with ideas, thoughts, etc. I'll post them here for everyone to marvel at O: and if you wanna offer your thoughts, please feel free to post in here ! constructive criticism / feedback is most welcome.

reversed post for Rusty joins Shadowclan AU so, the idea here is that Rusty gets picked up by Shadowclan and joins them, instead of Thunderclan. draft of an outline below: - rusty still meets graypaw, bluestar, etc. is told about the clans, and is asked if he wants to join. - a Shadowclan cat makes their way to Twolegplace and after hearing Thunderclan's offer from Rusty, tells him that /they/ need cats as well - more than TC, in fact - and hey, wanna come and see /my/ clan?? - rusty then meets boulder (warrior name pending) and another SC cat, and is escorted to their camp. after some deliberation, Brokenstar asks Rusty if he would like to join - he goes home to think about it - he eventually decides to join Shadowclan and is taken back to the camp. there, he is placed on a 'probation period' - he's given some time (half a moon) to decide if he wants to fully join the clan - once the waiting period is up, if he wants to join, he will then give up his house cat name and be bestowed a clan name proper. - hopefully, i can develop a better Starclan and have the clans have more distinct cultures. ;w; edit: after talking with the lovely Foxthroat i have a few things to add. <3 - Rusty isn't the only one to join the clan. Smudge, loners/rogue/housecats also join, trickling in and blustering Shadowclan ranks. to quote Foxthroat: "Hey, maybe Rusty isn't the only cat to join... smudge, other loners/rogues/housecats... Be kind of cool to explore how they might deal with multiple new cats? You know, you could intro like a sort of daylight-warriors adjustment system?" - Brokenstar is, lbr, a Hot Mess in canon. here, i'm hoping to have him come across as "him being harsher and stricter and more aggressive and getting away with it, and maybe training more roughly, but not completely ticking off his entire clan like that / he's super patriotic for ShadowClan, you know, make ShadowClan strong and tough, and his aggression stems from that, so any threat to ShadowClan he'd be hypervigilant about. - a possible plot idea: Rusty is actually a pawn, being used to knock Brokenstar off his pedestal and thus Shadowclan has to elect a new leader. quoting Foxthroat again: "1, if the clan is very religious, anything could be a sign, and if you do sprinkle in true signs and subtly manipulated ones, you could cook up some mystery while world-building and running the plot and " 2. if it's a subtle thing, like Rusty becoming a great hero of the clan, and Rusty has no idea he's being a pawn and Brokenstar has no idea he'll be a threat and instead regards him as a hero sent by StarClan to help make ShadowClan Great..."

reversed post for Smoky Mountains warriors AU - set after The Last Hope set six moons after The Last Hope. Starclan sends a prophecy foretelling the doom of the clans. they only have one task for them: find a new home. but many cats don't want to leave; they have lived in the Lake territories for many generations now. the leaders of each clan meet up with their medicine cats, and after much talk, decide to each send a cat from their own clan on the journey. - canon names shall be changed, to adhere to a more traditional naming style. - setting will be in the Smoky Mountains. - alongside the canon characters, OCs shall be prevalent in this fic - i /might/ develop a conlang; we shall see Cats going on the journey:Thunderclan: Ivypool - heavy hitter (Traditional Name: Shrikeclaw ) Windclan: Breezepelt - role tbd (Traditional Name: Slugpelt) Riverclan: Willowshine - healer (Traditional Name: tbd) Shadowclan: tbd (Traditional Name: tbd)

reversed post for human-turned-cat fic - clans are set in Australia now this one is the one i'm most excited about, currently anyway. Feral cats in Australia are a problem, and people have actually taken to shooting cats over there, sad as that is. i was always fascinated by reincarnation stuff, and Warriors had a habit of doing twoleg gets turned in a cat stories back when i first joined the fandom. so! i've decided to do my own take on it, but somewhat of a deconstruction. some things i found quite common in human-turned-cat fics were: - a human gets turned into a cat, and is pretty much fluid with their new body - romance, usually a tom the same age as the human girl turned cat - human-turned-cat often becomes deputy, then leader more stuff i can't think of, i'm sure. those aren't /bad/ no, but i'm striking those out. they won't be seeing any use in my fic. instead, i'd like to focus on how a human would learn to adapt as a cat, especially in a new body with foreign senses. i sent in some asks to The Feline-Helix, and thanks to Foxthroat for all her help so far. below is a collection of asks i have sent in. if i send in anymore, i shall list them here for yall to see. the first ask i sent in about this ideahuman-turned-cat part 0alternative names for clans? - in which i consider new names for my Australia cat groups human turned cat part 0.5

reversed post for Shawnee Forest clans - setting is in Illinois
tbh, i have /no/ idea as far a plot goes, but i've got some info on the clans i can share:
there are a total of three clans. Streamclan, Cliffclan and Glade / Marshclan.
Streamclan - these cats live in the bottomland hardwood forest area of the park. they do experience occasional flooding, and have another temporary camp further upstream to take refuge in if the flooding gets too bad. they teach their kits how to swim when they grow older and closer to apprenticehood.
Cliffclan - live on the mountains, above the other two clans. they have a tremendous jumping ability, and are able to scale the ledges of their territory. this, along with the fact that they live 'above' the other two water-loving clans, tends to keep them pretty safe from invasion. no one wants to scale cliffs, especially if they've never done so before!
Gladeclan / Marshclan - clan name pending. either way, majority of these guys' territory is marshy/swampy, but they make their camp on exposed bedrock and use lichens and mosses in their nests. they are good waders, and know how to swim a /bit/.
