Title: "Special" Editions
Post by: Ashleg on April 10, 2017, 08:53:33 PM
If you have read the Warriors series you likely know (or are familiar with) what a special edition is. In this context, it's a separate book about a single character from the series that was never a lead (and they are the main throughout, no switching POVs).
I was wondering...
Would this have worked in the context of Redwall?
Who would you like to know more about? Do you think they could get their own book? Etc.

Blaggut. Needs. His. Own. Book.

Agreed there.
What happened to Blaggut after the events of the book he was in? Or before? We could totally find out.

I also think Sawney Rath should get a book because we only got to see him in the events of Taggerung where he's old and sick.

Sawney would be cool too, I'm thinking mayhaps something more about Tiria after she went to rule at Green Isle, a book regarding that would be cool.

The Tiria thing would probably be a sequel rather than a special addition, which are more like add-ons than continuations due to not being written around one of the major leads.

Who's that character you brought up? With a swear in the middle of their name? XD

Ohh, who was it that Faiy and I were talking about who needed their own story. . .

Oh, well definitely Verduga Greeneyes. Perhaps a headcanon fanfic. (I'm tempted to write it.)
Other than that, I'm not entirely sure. . . I feel like a lot of the books are good just the way they are, but vague references would be interesting to have legends or somesuch told about them.

Mortspear, anyone? No?

Mortspear was who, again?
Title: Re: "Special" Editions
Post by: The Skarzs on April 12, 2017, 02:03:37 AM
It was a story he was writing. . . I don't remember what it was about. And I kinda feel bad that I don't.

Oh.
I guess I second that.

Mortspear was mentioned in Lord Brocktree, I believe, he was Ungatt and Verduga's father, he was said to have some sort of kingdom up north

Oh. That guy.
Huh. Maybe that would work, but then again not really what I was talking about...

I guess you'll never know lest you've read Warriors.

Just thought of it, I can't believe nobody has said this yet, especially you, @Ashleg

The character

Y'know, he just decided he had enough of Kotir, and he stumped off into the woodlands, such an awesome character definitely ought to have a story of his own, what happened to him when he left?

Sounds like a great fanfic...

I don't know what impact he could have made anywhere else, though.
Title: Re: "Special" Editions
Post by: Ashleg on April 18, 2017, 04:27:09 PM
He could have formed his own horde.

Or if he was done with all that in general, he probably just died.

I feel like we just need a new Redwall story.  I would want to write one, but I don't even know if I could.


But of course, a special edition for Badrang.  Or his parents or something.  I dunno, I think seeing his parents would definitely be cool.

Post by: Ashleg on April 19, 2017, 11:20:47 PM
What about his parents?
Title: Re: "Special" Editions
Post by: The Skarzs on April 20, 2017, 12:46:49 AM
Perhaps his time as a corsair, but I don't know about his family life. :P It didn't seem to be a very prominent thing in the story.
Title: Re: "Special" Editions
Post by: Ashleg on April 20, 2017, 03:42:48 AM
I never thought his family life mattered at all.

Other than Clogg being his uncle, of course.
Title: Re: "Special" Editions
Post by: Ashleg on April 20, 2017, 04:23:49 AM
I didn't think Clogg was his biological uncle.

Unless that was a joke. I can't tell.

what if Ashleg went to Sampetra and was Ublaz' ancestor...

I mean, how many Pine Marten's are there in the series...
