Behind the Scenes at the Warriors Fanfiction Choice Awards

Backstage

"Lionblaze, where are my notecards?"

"On the table in our dressing room."

"Okay."

"I still can't believe you didn't memorize the things you want to say."

"I just feel more confident if I have- wait, what are all these spots on my cards?!"

"Barbecue sauce."

"We're supposed to be getting ready for the show- not eating!"

"Chill, Jayfeather. I'm not going to host the show on an empty stomach."

"Well, did you have do drip your sauce all over?"

"Yes."

On the Green Carpet

"Hello! Rosepetal still here with ClanTV News. I'm back on the green carpet, and now I'm ready to interview the nominees for 'Best Supporting Character'. Let's start with you, Ravenpaw."

"Okay," the black tom meowed, smiling at the camera.

"How do you feel about being a nominee?"

"Oh, I'm super excited! I haven't been on a vacation in ages! I never thought that my first vacation would be to an award show!"

Rosepetal nodded. "Not only do you get to see the award show, you also get an awesome seat and the possibility to win a catrophy- that's a cat-shaped trophy, of course."

"Well, I'm just happy to be here. I don't care if I win. I didn't even vote for myself!"

"Are you even supposed to vote, Ravenpaw?"

The tom shrugged. "I don't know. I just felt like voting for Sandstorm, so I did."

"Alrighty then. Thank your for speaking with me. I'm going to talk to everyone's favorite ginger she-cat now."

"Bye."

Sandstorm and Graystripe padded up to the news reporter. "I heard you had some questions for us," Sandstorm meowed.

"I sure do!" Rosepetal confirmed.

Graystripe smiled. "Well, ask away! Ask us anything!"

"Okay. Graystripe- do you love Silverstream of Millie more? Sandstorm- who is your favorite kit?"

"You can't ask us that!" Sandstorm hissed.

Rosepetal tipped her head to one side. "You said I could ask anything. So answer my questions."

"Fine," Sandstorm growled. "My favorite kit is Squirrelflight. At least she didn't get pregnant illegally and then dump the kids on someone else!"

Graystripe looked away from the camera. "I really can't answer. Millie's watching at home."

"Thank you, Graystripe," Rosepetal meowed. "You just answered the question."

"No I didn't!"

"But everyone will know what you mean! Anyway, you and Silverstream were nominated for 'Best Canon Couple', so I'll be interviewing you again."

"Oh great!" the tom meowed, rolling his eyes. "Millie's supposed to be taking care of Briarlight, but she'll probably dump our daughter on her siblings to come down here and embarrass me! Again!"

"And that will be lovely," Rosepetal meowed. "but for now, I'm going to talk to Cinderpelt."

Graystripe flashed the camera a mutinous look, and then whipped around to stalk off. Sandstorm hurried after him.

A gray tabby she-cat hobbled over to Rosepetal. "So you want to speak to me?"

"Yep. Mind if I ask you some questions?"

"Sure."

Rosepetal bounced happily. "Great! First, since you're everybody's favorite character, do you think you'll win?"

Cinderpelt shook her head. "No. I'm such a minor character, and I died too early. I'm sure no one even remembers who I am."

"Dude, everyone knows who you are! Firestar's first apprentice, excellent medicine cat, mentor of Firestar's daughter..."

"Well, I am pretty awesome, I guess," the she-cat's eyes glazed over. "Isn't Firestar cute..."

Sandstorm stormed up to the younger she-cat. "I told you never to say that again! He never loved you! He only loved me! And that stupid tortie medicine cat...but he really only loved me! Me! Me! Me! Not you!"

Rosepetal quickly turned away from the she-cats. "Well, I didn't see that coming. I guess somebody's a little jealous. And possessive. Anyway, we'll be right back to interview the cutest couples ever!"

Toadstep looked into the camera lens seriously. "I'm pretty sure one of those couples ain't cute. Dovewing doesn't deserve any cat!"

"Oh, you shut up!" his sister cried. "You don't know anything about love!"

(A/N: Some of the categories are really close. I've got a couple three-way-ties and bunch of two-way-ties. I think I can safely say who's going to win 'Best Canon Protagonist', 'Best Canon Supporting Character', and 'Best Canon Couple'. I love knowing who's going to win before all of you. I feel so powerful...)
