Hey all you Readers of Ruthie's Fanfiction! Yes, you, at the computer! Have you ever wanted to have a hand/paw in determining what I'll put up next? Here's your chance! All you have to do is—

Tigerstar: Ruthie, you do realize the whole "infomercial" bit really doesn't cut the fresh-kill.

Hey, I'm trying to get them interested! Anywho, all you have to do is send me your criticism on the following ideas. That's it! Love it, hate it, let me know. I want to give people a good story to read.

Saya: Do I get a part in this? I mean, (pokes Tigerstar) you've been giving the cat all the attention so far. You haven't updated me in forever!

Dearheart, all of your stories are written. Over summer break, when I have nothing better to do, I'll type them all up for you. And I'll get them all posted! How's that work for you? Like it?

Yo-yo: What about me, then?

You, I need to finish writing. I have the whole plot settled, and I'm going to finish writing it, then tweak it mercilessly. Again, over the summer. Or maybe spring break. Yours isn't as long as Saya's.

Tigerstar: All right, let me get to the point. Ruthie has a lot of characters who are very, very angry at her for not writing and-or posting their stories on FFN. However, there is something more to this particular "fanfiction." (looks at Ruthie) Or have you already forgot—

Sora: (bursts into the room) May I remind you, Ruthie, that a certain songfic hangs in the balance of you putting up my...(trails off as the others glare at her) Um...bad timing?

Saya: Like you wouldn't believe.

Yo-yo: Ditzy much?

Sora: What can I say? It's who I am.

Tigerstar: ANYWAYS, (clears throat as all turn to him) may I point up that all of you are sidetracking Ruthie like the devil. So really, if you want anything to be accomplished by this, you shut your little mouths and let her get on with it.

Saya: 'Kay

Yo-yo: Ch! (Sora elbows her in the ribs) Fine, fine, Puss-in-Boots.

Sora: Just get it over with, Ruthie. (leaves the room) I'll be getting some fro-yo.

Yo-yo: Hey, count me in!

Saya: Wait for me!

(The three characters leave the room, chatting about what place serves the best Frozen Yogurt. Ruthie looks down at Tigerstar.)

Well, at least you haven't forsaken me.

Tigerstar: Actually, I heard Yo-yo say something about Baskin Robbins. If they're going there, I'm going with them. You got what you wanted: a nice, quiet place to encourage readers to give you feedback on your writing plans. Don't let me spoil it for you. (runs after them) Hey girls, hold up! The cat wants in on some Strawberry!

...That...didn't just happen. Anyways, I guess it's for the best. (snugs her Tigerstar plushie) So, in a roundabout way of saying it, kindly tell me what you think of the following ideas. :D

...In Shaded Promises, numerous references are made to the secrets of certain SwampClan cats: Thornheart, Sixclaw, Bugwing/Breezepaw. This was actually a story I had planned out and started writing when I scrapped the idea. Like it?...

...I was planning to make a series of stories from the four "original" Clans: DuskClan, SwampClan, LakeClan, and MeadowClan. However, I got caught up in the PromiseClan plot and got sidetracked. Should I go through with the Four Clans Stories?...

...I originally planned to make a Warriors parody of "'Twas the Night Before Christmas." The result was pretty gross. The rhyming metered off, and although I liked the plot and how the story went, I scrapped it. Polish and publish next holiday season?...

...This is one I'm going to do, but I decided to ask for feedback before publishing it. I had a Yu-Gi-Oh fic planned (which is where Yo-yo came from). I'm going to put it up, but I want to know if anyone actually cares if I do...

...Sora is my Pokémon character. Does anyone want her story to be put up?...

..I have two parodies up now, one Warriors, one Zelda. I'm planning to do a crossover between the two. It will feature mostly Link, and not Saya. How does everyone feel about that?...

...Since no one actually read my second InuYasha story, Lost in Tim, I'm assuming it's a flop. I have another one planned, and if the idea of InuYami and Tsugaru being adults (and Yami falling in love with Kouga's pup) appeals to anyone, let it be known...

(Sora, Saya, Yo-yo, and Tigerstar appear off screen, each holding a Baskin Robbins cup in hand or paw. Joining them is InuYami. Sora looks up.)

Sora: Oh, hey, Ruthie. How's it going?

You missed it. It's over. For now at least. And you found Yami! Where was she?

Yo-yo: She was living behind Baskin Robbins. We bought her some lemon fro-yo, and after a while, she agreed to come back with us.

Hey girl! How've ya been?

InuYami: (growl)

Yo-yo: Hey, easy, kiddo. She's gonna be nicer to you now. Promise. (InuYami latches onto Yo-yo's leg) She has some mild abandonment issues.

Why? She's the only one out of all of you who's got a complete story! What's she feeling abandonmed about?

Sora: She's the youngest of us. There's a fine line that determines how you react to non-constant attention. That line lies right on the boundary between tha ges of nine and ten years. (All stare at her) What? I'm going to by a psychotherapist when I get older. I gotta start planning now if I want to get anywhere!

Well, that doesn't matter right now. I gotta get this all posted up so that people can tell me what they think. Can I get a "Ruthie's the best"?

All: RUTHIE'S THE BEST!

Sora: (mutters to Yo-yo) In her own mind...
