Comment on 5 Ways to Un-Cliche' a Cliche by Droemar
Oh thank you so much for this post -- and right at the right time, too!
I have been stuck in the Warriors funk since I first read the series, and now I see I've been doing the exact opposite of what I should have been doing to try and get out of it. It came to the point where I was scared to read anything else for fear of 'becoming even more of a cliche' copycat'. Now I feel like an idiot who's just been scolded and slapped into some sense, and honestly, I can't thank you enough!
Now excuse me while I go read every book about animals/wolves that I can get my hands on!

Allow me to give you some titles to get you started: Fire-Bringer, Watership Down, The Fire Bringer Trilogy (unicorns) by Meredith Ann Pierce, the Named Series by Clare Bell, and since you like Warriors, try Varjak Paw by SF Said.
Oh, thanks so much! I started reading the Named series, and stopped, but I suppose I should pick it back up again and finish it. Thanks again, for the wonderful and stupid-banishing post and the books!
