Starkit's Prophecy/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Acceptable Targets: "Homosezzuals," apparently.
  • Accidental Innuendo: After it is remarked that it is StarGleam's second time out hunting, we get this gem: "she'd had her first time when she was a littlekit and she and FireStar had snuck out together that's why he chose her as his apprentice_." Squick.
    • "Wll u be my mat" [GayStrip] ESked.
  • Anvilicious: Everything having to do with religion and homosexuality.
  • Ass Pull: Everything.
  • Non Sequitur Scene: You could make Your Head Asplode trying to figure out the significance of the newt in Chatter !1.
    • ...Or what's happening in most of the chapters.
    • The last few lines of the epilogue.
  • Bile Fascination: It's as horribly mesmerizing as a natural disaster. A really amazingly badly-spelled natural disaster.
  • Canon Defilement:
    • Jayfeather is now lacking the "jerk" part of Jerk with a Heart of Gold, and seems to have mated with some random ShadowClan cat, despite him being disgusted with forbidden relationships.
      • Not to mention the fact that not a single cat in the Clan objects to his Warrior Code-shattering relationship, either.
    • Sandstorm is perfectly fine with Stargleam stealing Firestar from her, and doesn't protest at all.
    • Firestar, Graystripe and Blackstar are all suddenly prone to neglecting their existing mates and falling in love with apprentices instead.
      • Part of Blackstar's reasoning for falling in love with Stargleam is that she beat him in battle, something the real Blackstar would be far too proud to admit.
    • Graystripe now hates Firestar, calls him an idiot, and says he's a mean cat.
    • Hawkfrost betrays Tigerstar simply because Stargleam is kawaii.
    • Daisy, now FoxDaisypaw, has decided to become a warrior. She is also being trained by Cloudtail, practically setting her up for truckloads of Die for Our Ship.
    • The fic takes place after Sunset, meaning it would be set in the lake territories, but the mention of the Highrock and Moonstone suggest that it is set in the Old Forest.
    • Everyone apparently seems to be very happy that ThunderClan is being ruled by an apprentice six moons and three days old.
    • Why exactly is Hollyleaf working with Tigerstar again? Canonically, she's a warrior code-obsessed Knight Templar who went through extreme Break the Cutie and Sanity Slippage, so why is she suddenly working with one of the most coldhearted and cruel villains in the series, who broke her precious Warrior Code multiple times? And why does she try to kill Firestar if she only has a grudge against Leafpool and Squirrelflight? And why is she one of Three now?
    • The actual books feature a lot of Gray and Grey Morality, and the authors make a point out of avoiding Card Carrying Villains and giving all villainous characters fleshed out motives. This fic?

"lol" lalueghed TigerStar, "I dont care Im evillll!"

Firestar didn't leave insted he said i thought I herd you asking her to be our mate."

  • Rooting for the Empire: Basically everyone reading the fic agrees that RedPaw and LakePool are the real heroes of the story.
    • It's not RedPaw and LakePool being heroes so much as their persecution by StarGleam being the thing that makes her so unlikable.
  • Snark Bait
  • So Bad It's Good
  • Straw Man Has a Point: The characters opposing GleamStar generally have more valid points than she does.
  • Wangst: StarGleam's angst over her Clan "bevoming quare."
    • The author's newfound plebian-ness.
    • The fic takes a level in emo in Chapter 23 The Vist, wherein StarGleam angsts about how terrible it is that her best friend rejected her, probably because she declared her love via fanfic.
      • "WHY WAS HERE LEAF SO BADD?1!1?111/?12"
  • You Fail Biology Forever: GleamStar's kits come out through her stomach.
  • You Fail Logic Forever: The author admits to herself that she is a lesbian after she discovers slash. How reading stories about two men makes someone realise that they like women is a mystery.
    • Process of elimination.
  • You Fail Religious Studies Forever: The Clans have never heard of God, nor do they practice any human religions. Yet they still say "Oh my god!" (or rather "OMG!" or "MOGOSH!"), and the Ten Commandments (or rather "Ten Commons") play a role in the story.
    • The fact that anybody who doesn't like the fic is instantly a "stnist" who hates "jEssus" may count, too.
    • "11. No BENG GAY!f"
