Final Author's Note ~

Yep, you guessed it. I'm finally abandoning this story~! Or at least this version of it. What I'm saying is that Demon's Cry is getting a rewrite, guys! And, even better, it won't be a Warriors fanfiction anymore. It's in the process of becoming my own original novel :D

So I was trying to work on this story between art and school and I just wasn't feeling it, so I took a step back and I realized I can do a lot better than this. I wanna clean up the messes 13 year old me made when writing this. Reading back, there is so much just bad writing (see: chapter six), cliché storywriting (see: prologue) and abandoned plot points (see: chapters sixteen, seventeen just to name a couple), and characters that are interesting, but could be so much more involved and believable developed. And now, even though I had some ideas as to how it would affect Rockpaw's character, the last thing I want to write is a serial killer plot.

So, as I said, I can do better, and I want to. This story and these characters are still as important to me as they have been all these years, and so I could never just abandon them and if you're reading to the forty-ninth chapter, then probably neither do you. So here is what you can do to follow Demon's Cry in its transformative years (all of this information can be found on my profile as well):

Demon's Cry is being renamed Song of the Crow: Vindication and is taking place in a high fantasy setting, in a world called Maia Ielle.

-I have an account on World Anvil which is not named FuturisticVampire as per my usual, it's called Vampn't. The page for Maia Ielle is there and link on my profile because world anvil can be a little difficult to navigate, at least for me.

-I have a discord server dedicated to the development of SCV. Message me on discord my name is FuturisticVampire#5012 for an invite, or just to chat :)

-My twitter account is FuturisticVamp1 and i'll be posting my art from scv as well as other things there. You can dm me there, too if you don't have a discord~

-My tumblr is FuturisticVamp, but all you'll find there is outdated art. You'll also find some blm information i've reblogged and such which is good to read, so i won't discourage you from looking at it, and you can dm me there but I hardly open tumblr anymore so you'll likely not hear from me for a week or more.

-You can pm me on fanfic if you have no other option, but just keep in mind that ever since ff stopped email notifs for pms, i havent been getting to them for a very long time.

-The plot will be relatively the same, well at least itll have the same skeleton. And I want the style to be the same, like the quote thing and the way the chapters are named which I think are integral to the way this story hits.


And that's all the vital info about that and you can find it all on my profile~ This stuff's just stuff that I also think is important:

-As you've probably guessed, my characters will no longer be cats, and they will not have Warriors names

-Maia Ielle is a high fantasy world. Not all characters are strictly human

-Some characters that are important in dc wont be so much in scv and vise versa.

-Some relationships won't be kept same. For example, Sphinxface and Sinclaw are not a married couple and Tearfall is not their daughter, but Sphinx Dutaki and Sinakin Ihuba are and Daven is their daughter.

-Worldbuilding is a difficult and long process! Please be patient with me~


And lastly, I want to shout out to all of you who have read to chapter forty-eight. I think that's pretty cool, almost as cool as writing forty-eight chapters lmao
