Erin Hunter Chat 1

The first Erin Hunter Chat was on December 11th, 2005. During the chat, Warriors fans could ask Erin Hunter questions about the series. At the time, there were only 2 authors and 1 editor of the Warriors series. Instead of lasting the scheduled half hour, though, Cherith Baldry stayed on for two and a half hours to answer questions about the series. It was put together by Sheila Ruth.

The Authors

 * Vicky makes a timeline to keep track of the ages of the cats and the events in their life while Cherith makes family trees so she can see who's kit is who's.
 * All three Erin's came up with the different warrior names.

 * Cherith Baldry recomends for Warriors fans not to be too close to fanfiction.
 * It's not that hard to come up with warrior names acording to Cherith.
 * Cherith doesn't find much difficulty in writing cats deaths, even though they are emotional and dramatic.
 * Cherith finds it weird to control and determine every cat's fate.
 * Cherith Baldry's favourite book is The Darkest Hour, because so many threads come together in it.

 * Cherith's favourite moments in the Original Series are Firestar getting his nine lives and Firestar accusing Tigerstar to the Clan.
 * Cherith keeps track of the herbs and medicines list.
