Meet Fritti Tailchaser! Main character of the novel, "Tailchaser's Song" by Tad Williams.

Anyways, the book is about a ginger tom named Fritti Tailchaser, who leaves the Meeting Wall Clan to set off on a magical quest to find his friend and gets caught up in a prophecy in the middle of it all. The book's pretty cool- I'm halfway into it and the characters are adorable. They have a lot of depth to them. The mythology and the cats' beliefs, I have to admit, are more thrilling than StarClan's kit-tales.

So far I have learned the names of other Clans such as the Edge-Copse Clan and the Forest-Light Clan. I've also learned that the cats in a Clan come together to share stories and news on the night of the full moon.

Well, by now you guys are all saying, "That guy is a ripoff of Warriors!"

Wrong!

Tailchaser's Song was published in 1985, while Warriors was published several years after.

And yet....

Both the heroes are ginger toms setting off for a new life, both are friends with a gray tabby tom, both novels' clans meet at the full moon.....

There's no way that this could all be a coincidence?

... I mean, looking at Erin Hunter, an author who has stolen warrior names that fans worked hard on, only to copyright it as her own without giving credit to the original creator, I wouldn't put it past her to steal bits and pieces of a theme, too. -.- *sigh* Oh well...

On the bright side, you guys should totally read Tailchaser's song! It's pretty refreshing for those who have gone into the 3rd series of Warriors and are getting fed up with ThunderClan winning everything and the same-old same-old issues. This book is great, exciting, adorable, and touching. Please read!

Oh, can be used in fanvids for Fireheart. << I guess. Since Tailchaser IS afterall, the original Fireheart...
