Hey there, just call me Mouse.
I haven't read the books for a good long while - I was obsessed with them when I was in my early to mid-teens, but the interest waned slightly soon after... I think it was either Taggerung or Lord Brocktree, around the time I realised that it was more than mildly silly to watch a badger and/or a otter eat anything vegan. Even mice need animal protein occasionally, and don't get me started on bird of prey eating oatcakes... lol, amatuer zoologist. Ignore me.
I'm older now, and over that bump in the road that seems to cause even the most well-natured people to throw the benefit of doubt to the wind. I found a fic called 'Vengance Quest' yesterday, and it's sparked my interest once more.
It's still a great series, from what I've got remaining on my shelf - Marlfox, Outcast of Redwall (my favourite), Taggerung, and I think I've still got Mossflower and Redwall itself around somewhere. Oh, and The Pearls of Lutra. I'm re-reading them now as we speak, to refresh my memory.
I haven't read any of the more recent books - will that be a probelm at all?

Hi Mouse!
Welcome to Redwall Path.
I understand what you mean, but then again it is fantasy. Since real Mice/otters/badgers also don't talk/swing swords etc... so I guess they can be Vegan in the books as well if the world calls for it. ^_^
(Sorry I didn't mean to contradict you I was just saying my opinion on that) But I hope you enjoy your time here. Peace!
And it doesn't matter how many books you read. (You could just only read the first two pages of The pearls of lutra and we'll accept you as long as you are a fan)

Yep, definitely a fan. I hope my characters are up to scratch, as it were! I going to go and add them now... ;D

Amateur zoologists FTW! This reminds me of a time I found an article on wikipedia about cannibalistic hares.... *yammers on* I'm sure there's no need to have read all the books, as Dartpaw said. I just read your character bios. Mouse-ear looks like a lot of fun! >D

Hehe, thanks. She's a bit of a rough customer, but luckily not as bad as some. I saw you've got a vermin charrie too - maybe they could start their own gang XD

Hahaha! He isn't exactly the sharpest pencil in the box, so he'd probably end up being her fawning lackey or something until somebody else came along and gave him a bigger cookie. XD I've got to finish his bio, gah~!

Now I'm inspired to make a vermin character. (It's fun to express my creativity and I never made one before so) Mousear, iolana thanks ^_^

And for giving me the idea for a vermin char. (Which should've been obvious a long time ago to do) You got your first awesomesauce! (With Mousear I couldn't get the option) Maybe I can only give one a day...

OMIGAWSHYAY. I have an awesomesauce! *sparkly eyes* .....you are my new favorite person, Dartpaw. XD
And mousear probably has the exalt/smite option turned off. That's my guess~
Speaking of which, what is the awesomesauce stuff for, anyway?

*flail* I don't know how to turn it on! How do I turn it on?
Also, Mouse-ear is more than mildly pleased to abruptly have a gang, and hopes you scrawny packrats know what you're gettin' into.
EDIT: Got one! *hugs Dartpaw* Dude, you're awesome.

Awesomesauce's are cool things, they're kind of like member points. You don't get ranks from them but you can use them as bragging rights if you want You can give one to a member (Or take one away if you are really really mad at someone but the admins do not approve of that) they are not removed from your own total when you give one, and if you get enough something good might happen.

And I just gave you another! Woohoo! <333 This thread is full of teh awesome!
Thanks for explaining the amesomesauce, Dartpaw! Now I wonder what interesting things might happen if I get enough...
And cheers to the (first?) new vermin gang on RedwallPath! *clinks wine glass and adjusts top hat* We should start an RP for 'em! At Salamandastron, because that board is lonely and sad. :<
