I have a few rants myself...it be about...fandom! Because I'm just your fandom and grammar expert over here.
Histeria! fandom:
Why is there so little of it? JusSonic, robert, and those of us who can actually think of a good, original, and intelligable plot (although I was hurt with all the grammar mistakes, but those were GREAT plots, which outweighs those mistakes) do all the work! Start talkin'! Why are you peoples not writing (not you gahs here at ze forum, other peoples)? Maybe because the WB has brainwashed you with junk like " Shaggy and Scooby-Doo Get a Clue" and "Loonatics Unleashed." -screams and writhes in agony- No offense to you guys who liked it, but why are you writing for shows that no one really liked anyway? Those shows didn't have as long a run as Histeria! anyway (the whole "Loonatics Unleashed" run was on 2 DVD sets with thirteen episodes each. As long as I've been able to remember, 13 plus 13 equals 26. Histeria! got 52 episodes). So spill!
Warriors fandom:
This is going to be long, because there's really a lot to rant about.
Part I: Prophecies
Oh...my...holy...fish nuggets. You people are just getting more and more annoying with your prophecies. The Erins are, too, so it's not just you. Here's an example:
Out of the mist and storm,
Two nekos will rise,
Born of strength and courage,
Both cats of green eyes.
Please, don't tear apart the fandom with fics that include a prophecy--especially one that doesn't even make sense.
Out of the mist and storm,
Okay, I know exactly where this is going. You, Mist Lionshade, and your bestestestestestestest buddy Storm Midnight are bestestestestest friends, so you decided to put yourselves in the story. Don't do that. Self-insert is okay only for those who know who to use it properly. You do not.
Two nekos will rise,
Nekos? First of all, these are WILD cats, not anthropomorphic ones. They haven't a clue what a Neko is. Second of all, even if they did, Nekos are Japanese cats, whereas Warriors is set in Europe. How do I know this? Because the towns that are shown in the handy-dandy human map of the territories doesn't have towns labeled with names like "Hiroshima" or "Nagasaki." They have names like "Hadlow" and "Whitchurch." So therefore, you cannot use nekos in a story unless you're talking about a different set of Clans in Japan.
Born of strength and courage,
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Every prophecy talks about a big, bold, brave cat who comes to save them from every impending trouble. What about a shy, drawn-back cat that no one wouldexpect would save them? A cat who believes that the Clans should fend for themselves? These are the cats you should put in a prophecy, if you're going to kill your story with one.
Both cats of green eyes.
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. That's how they'll recognize the cats, right? Why don't you people make it obscure? Because the story said that the only cat in the Clan with green eyes was an elder. Why not make it a cat with generally common features, so it will be harder to recognize that cat? These are some ideas the Erins might should take as well.
Part II: Create-a-Cat
Okay, here's an idea: Why don't you people let others think of their own cat names? That way they can think of names using their own creativity rather than you doing all the work for them, nt to mention the fact that it saves the canon and your profile from Frankenfics like those.
Part III: Every lead cat becomes leader and saves the forest
This is another important issue needed to be cleared up, because maybe not every cat is destined to become an oh-so-FANTABULOUS leader. Brambleclaw was a lead cat. He did not become leader, and he doesn't look as if he's in a hurry to do so, either. That's what makes him awesome.
Part IV: Stories themselves
Every day I see stories that go a little like this, complete with incredibly atrocious grammar that I can't even read:
once opon uh tim der wus a kat namd starpaw. she wuz lyk zomsc supa amizin an she becam a war10r in lyk 1 ntir day an gt hr war10r name starfur. den she lyk fited 3 lyuns an 3 tygrs an 3 leperds an wun! den she becam dputy an she wuz lyk da most bootifulest she-cat in da forest an al da toms fll 4 hr. den her leder dyd trajickally an she becam da thundrcln leder. horay! she wuz da bestestestestestestestestestestest leder eva!
da end.

I'm completely serious. I've actually seen people like that.
I have more rants...well, maybe not. But if I did, I'd post them later, anyway.
