Racing the Sun
FireClan, MudClan, CloudClan, SeaClan are my Clans. My main character is Sunpaw of SeaClan, marked with a *. To start off, I'll write the long, long line of characters (which took a lot of time and effort, mind you, any names you see that you've seen before a coincidental, and if you want to use some of my names, or the actual character, in your fanfic, I'd appreciate it if you cite me/message me. Thanks!) And then I'll talk some more. Because you want to hear me drone on, right? See you at the end!

Woo. Okay, now that's that's done with, I'm going to talk about the Clans. You can skip this part, because I have no guarantee it'll be interesting, but would be nice to get the backstory.
So, I will be focusing on SeaClan the most of all, but I may offer brief glimpses into the other Clans, depending on how I plan my storyline. You may or may not have noticed, but the cats of the different Clans tend to have specific colorings, like SeaClan tends to have more pastel-colored cats, while FireClan has more vivid cats in general, plenty of orange or russet colored cats.
The Clans are centered around a mountain.
CloudClan lives up higher than the other clans, but lower than the Tribe in the original books. They eat birds and squirrels mainly, and mice.
MudClan lives near the bottom, they get frequent rain and live partially in the swamps. MudClan diet is made up of frogs, small reptiles, birds, and occasionally snakes.
SeaClan lives on the other side of MudClan, nestled between a steep cliff and the beach. They catch saltwater and freshwater fish (the freshwater stream starts in the mountain). They also eat voles and birds.
FireClan lives between Mud- and SeaClan. Due to the rain shadow effect, they don't get rain often. As a result, in the summer, fires occur. They hunt rabbit, birds, and squirrels.
Remember the Moonstone? Each Clan has one sacred spot. For CloudClan, it's a cherry tree grove with bioluminescent fungi. They dream at the end of the grove, near a big petrified tree. For MudClan, it's a ancient willow tree that almost bends over into an upside-down 'U'. They dream in a hole in the trunk. For SeaClan, it's a cave with a crystal clear pool that starts shallow and becomes deep. There's an island in the middle to dream. Finally, FireClan's Moonstone equivalent is an abandoned church. They dream at the ledge of a very large stained-glass mural-window thing.
This series will differ a bit from the main Warriors series in a few ways. First of all, I tend to use more human expressions when describing the cat's actions and behaviors, but nothing outlandish or impossible. Secondly, the Clans are a bit more friendly to each other. SeaClan and FireClan are best buds, and MudClan and CloudClan also adore each other.
