How do I make my Warrior Cats FF exciting right from the start?

Greetings ^^

I'm currently at the beginning of my Warrior Cats fanfiction, but I feel like the first few chapters are pretty boring. Towards the middle of the book, a cat is murdered at night, but as I said, that only happens halfway through. So how can I make the first few chapters exciting without putting the reader off? The story is told from the perspective of two cats: a medicine cat from WaveClan and a medicine cat from StormClan. But I can't just tell you about them sorting herbs or catching rabbits in the first half of the book. The medicine cat also receives a prophecy that predicts the murder, but right at the beginning, in the first three chapters, what am I supposed to say?

Voltage usually arises through secrets, conflict or when a person, that the reader likes, in danger. So in the first chapter you could describe the world of the two characters in such a way that they already grow a little to the reader’s heart (preferably through conflict, because the tension comes from it), or you ask questions that make the action mysterious, which you will explain later. I agree with , however, the first chapters should only be there if they really contribute to the action, so don’t start a fight if it is not taken up again in a later situation. By the way, a rule of thumb is: many stories begin with a more or less “normal” day in the life of the protagonists, but in which something is different than otherwise, what the action brings in. Can you watch the movie?

Hello

You can In love exciting.

I did that in my FF.

Example:

Goldheart has fallen in love with shellfish but he loves another and goldheart is sad.She has to look like shellfish coming closer to the others and later gets boy with the others.She is jealous and sad.

Or the healer student falls in love, as much as yellow tooth’s secret!

You can do it with exciting Adventure try or e.g.:Sit the main cat to save others or clans.

Also Attacks for example:the ShadowClan can attack because there is too little prey.Or they can also be attacked by wolves.

You could also famine use.The cats have little prey and have to fight for survival.

or Disease the cats fall in.Can also be in summer.

Or it’s too dry and the cats have to get water to stay alive.

All this can make the happening in WaCa more exciting!

I’d be very careful with that. Integrating plot strands only to shin chapters is always dangerous because it at worst shifts the focus of history or leads to a strong imbalance between the action strands.

This can then be very strange due to the break.

If you think well no

If you think it well, here is synonymous with ‘if you change the plot’. And you can do that if you want to plan again. This is, however, essentially ‘rew the story’.

However, if you already have a plot HAT, I would advise you to solve the problem differently. For example, by stating a few chapters and what is exciting.

Well, the question is essentially the one: what is it about in your history and does it really need this ‘learning chapter’ at the beginning? If it is primarily about the cat being murdered, why don’t you prefer to avoid idling?

To get to the exciting topic and to expand everything else because otherwise it would be funny if you start with the exciting one vlt?

Why would that be funny? I think it’s rather strange that you should first torment yourself through 100 pages of insane scenes that don’t bring history.

Building the world decent is important, that’s true… but with a fanfiction you can also bring less (people who know this as a rule the world) and in particular you should already know what you want to do in this case and also plan the story in this way, instead of “raising” 6 chapters.

No, I wouldn’t say. WaCa does not differ from any other fandoms. The world is not so special.
