How hard would it be to become an author of Warriors?

Hello, I am Roscoe's "friend" who went to see Erin Hunter, Victoria Holmes was the Erin I talked to.
Sadly, due to time and the large amounts of ten year olds squealing "OHMAHGAWD WHAT HAPPENED TO HOLLYLEAF? WHO KILLED ASHFUR? WHAT DO YOU MEAN BRAMBLECLAW'S NOT THE FATHER? MAURRRRRYYYYYY!!!"
*cough* Ignore the Maury part, silly joke for early-afternoon TV watchers like myself.
Like I was saying, we were only allowed to ask Victoria ONE question. Roscoe sent me the ten best ones (in his opinion) and I had to chose between those ten.
I got in line for the signing, narrowed it down to three five minutes before it was my turn.
- What made you decide to take the series on a fantasy twist? (grouped from several questions)
- What is your opinion on the several naming systems? (various questions)
- What will Sneezekit/paw's warrior name be? (Ten)
I was going to go with the second one, but when I got up there she wanted to play a quiz with me and two girls behind me, see who knew the most. Naturally, I won. Only because I stalk the Erins, though. During that quiz time, my mind forgot the other two questions and I only remembered Ten's.
So that's what I ask.
She had no set names for the apprentice (but said something about him playing a [somewhat] big role soon) and asked me what I thought it should be.
Sneezenose was out of the question, we don't want a Runningnose repeat.
But I still wanted the name to make sense, with the odd prefix it has. So I said Sneezewhisker, because whiskers shake when cats sneeze... and yeah.
She said she loved how cute it was, and would definitely use it.
So when he gets his warrior name, it was me who did it. Pass it on.
Holly out, very nice chatting with you all for a bit.

Thanks for getting those answers for us, Holly ;P
I have to admit... Sneezewhisker is a cute name, it's not particularly honourable but it's still kinda endearing XD *ready to be killed*

Ask her why she couldn't rename stupid Daisy and that cat Graystripe brought back to the Clan. And why does Graystripe have to bring back outsiders? WHY CAN'T HE LOVE SOMEONE IN HIS OWN CLAN >.< That's all I have to ask. And about Sunpaw in WindClan. O.O Perhaps only the person who comes up with good names should do that instead of the new people or whatever. xD

... I feel sorry for poor Erin already... Your friend certainly won't be popular with her if she asks all of Toasty's questions. My questions: How long do you think the Warriors books will go on? Are you going to continue down the fantasy route or return to the more down-to-earth style of the first series any time soon? Would you consider making a good cat who doesn't believe in starclan and an 'evil' one that does (and is blantant about it)?Uh... that's all I can think of. Um rolo, those already exist. Mothwing and Tigerstar.

Now you've inspired me to create a warriors version of my story I'm which is about lightning elemental penguins, guinea pigs, and neopets that are at serious risk from a rebellion led by Tyce against The Clan Of Donut.

Mothwing and Tigerstar. I don't consider Tigerstar evil. He was a pretty lame villain. Mothwing just made some mistakes from what I can see. And by that, I meant them being blantantly obvious about the starclan believer being evil. And about the non-starclan believer being definitely good
