Warriors Fans? << >>

Unread post by Aleu »

No, not as in the class. As in the book series written by Erin Hunter (Well actually, there are two authors and one editor under that pen name). The reason I ask is I recently went back and re-read the series from the first book to the most recent release and reminded how much I love the series. I'm pretty sure there aren't as many who play WoW and make like this series. (If you do, you'll know where I got my wolf's name ingame. XD I know they address it as a children's series, BUT I DUN CARE. I started this series six years ago and I still love it. =P

FOR THOSE WHO'VE NEVER HEARD OF THE SERIES, quote from the wiki article.
Warriors is a series of children's fiction novels published by HarperCollins written by Erin Hunter, a pseudonym used by authors Kate Cary, Cherith Baldry, and Tui Sutherland; the plot is developed by editor Victoria Holmes.[2] The series follows the adventures of four Clans of wild cats in their forest homes. The four Clans are ThunderClan, WindClan, ShadowClan and RiverClan. SkyClan, the long-forgotten fifth Clan of the forest, is later introduced in the stand-alone novel Firestar's Quest.

There are currently four series, each containing six books. The first, Warriors (often called "Original Series" to differentiate it from the later series), was published from 2003 to 2004. Warriors: The New Prophecy, published from 2005 to 2006, followed the first series, chronicling the Clans as they move to a new home. The third story arc, Warriors: Power of Three, was published from 2007 to 2009. The current series, Warriors: Omen of the Stars, began with The Fourth Apprentice, which was released on November 24, 2009, and continues where the third series left off. A fifth series has been requested by HarperCollins. Major themes in the series include forbidden love, nature versus nurture, the reactions of different faiths meeting each other, and characters being a mix of good and bad. The authors draw inspiration from several natural locations and other authors such as J. R. R. Tolkien, J. K. Rowling, and William Shakespeare.

Other books have been released in addition to the main series, including three lengthier individual books entitled Firestar's Quest, Bluestar's Prophecy, and SkyClan's Destiny. Four field guides and several volumes of original English-language manga, produced as a collaboration between HarperCollins and TOKYOPOP, have been published as well. In addition to the books, the authors have also written two short stories and two plays. The series has also been released for Amazon's Kindle and translated into several languages. In addition, the series has a website, which features games, promotional videos, quizzes, a message board, and news.

Warriors has received mostly positive reviews, but has also been criticized for having a confusingly large number of characters. Critics have compared it to the Redwall series, though commenting that the series is less elegantly written. Although nominated for several awards, Warriors has yet to receive any major literary prizes. The series has also reached the New York Times Bestseller List, and has found popularity in places such as Trinidad and China.

It's very likely only for those who may be interested in cats. It seems a bit far-fetched and strange at first, but most novels tend to start like that. At least to me. Though I'm still curious if anyone on this forum might be familiar with it. =3

Ehhh, I'm neutral with Tigerstar. In a way, uniting all the Clans could be good in it's own way. No border fueds, no shortage of prey in one territory, no divided loyalties if one cat took another cat from a different clan, but there is a problem. He was only doing it for power and I can't forgive him for killing Brindleface, Runningwind and especially Stonefur. >:P Even if it was Blackstar who really killed him, I loved Stonefur. <3

My favorite cats either tend to die quickly or change so much I'm not so fond of them anymore. DX Like... I adored Squirrelflight in the New Prophecy, but now... She's just... MEH. I love Leafpool though.

Oh, eeee you just reminded me of another cat that I adore! BLACKSTAAAARRRRR!!! <3 <3 <3

*Ahem* Aaaanywho. *Nods* Squirrelflight was awesome back in the New Prophecy! She half-sucks now. :| Leafpool is awesome too! CrowfeatherxLeafpool forever, darnnit! To heck with Nightcloud! Feathertail was awesome too XD Also.. I HATE HOLLYLEAF. I am SO glad she died. Because she had to tell everyone about her, Jayfeather and Lionblaze being Leafpool and Crowfeather's kits.. My favourite couple has gone down the drain. BrambleclawxSquirrelflight. ... BLAAAH THEY WERE SO ADORABLE TIL BRAMBLE WENT ALL "TO HELL WITH YOU" TO SQUIRREL AFTER FINDING OUT THE TRIO WEREN'T HIS KITS! ARRRGGHHH. ... I seriously blame Hollyleaf for it. Yup. Also.. Lionblaze is annoying, and so is Jayfeather. Dovepaw rules though~

Ahhh yes Hollyleaf. The girl who thinks the code solved damn near everything when it doesn't. She freaks out over the truth, then runs off into some cave. There's not current proof she's dead or alive, but we'll find out soon enough. Jayfeather is being the next biggest pain over this. Lionblaze I'll let off the hook... For now. What makes this ironic is that both of them are forcing Dovepaw to keep her power a secret from Ivypaw. To me, they're acting just like Leafpool and Squirrelflight. Keeping something big a secret and we know how that ended. Shoo off Brambleclaw. He's just being a jerk.

...As far as Ashfur. >> -cough-

Oh god, don't even GET ME STARTED on Ashfur. Ugghhhhhhhhh. And yes, Brambleclaw is being a jerk. Which makes me a sad kitty, as I wuv him. <3 (... And yes, I do like Hawkfrost too. Tawnypelt rules too. .. Mothwing? ... Not so much. Buuut other than that, I love pretty much ALL of Tigerstar's family! <3 XD)

Speaaaking of cats I love.. I've recently found a new love for Darkstripe, of all cats. He's just so adorable when he interacts with Tigerstar in the Dark Forest! Asking if he can help Tiger with anything, only to get told off and go "OKIESIR!" Bah, he's just so adorable XD

... Aaand that brings me to two of my other favourite kitties. Longtail and Russetfur. WHY DID THEY BOTH HAVE TO DIE IN THE SAME BOOK?! ARRGGHHH!! *Flails* Seriously.. That book made me sad... Also, this is why I hate Lionblaze. Cause of his STUPID ideas, Russetfur ended up dying! D:

Ahh yes, more fans. |D

As far as Darkstripe goes, when I reread the first series, I forgot how many times he switched sides. x.x Spied on ThunderClan for Tigerstar, joined TigerClan after he attempted to feed Sorrelkit deathberries... He fights against BloodClan then turns against Firestar... PICKASIDE. Although he does amuse me in the Dark Forest.

I won't be a happy camper if Ashfur went to StarClan. He doesn't deserve it. =P Lionblaze... He doesn't know his own strength. The battle in general was provoked by Tigerstar and Hawkfrost through Ivypaw (And likely Tigerheart). IBLAMETHEM.

I hate Firestar. Let me say that now. I just don't like him. He just...irks me.

Jayfeather annoys me as well. He whines a lot. Leafpool irks me, Squirrelflight was awesome during the journey then got worse. I loved the Windclan cat, but now don't like them. They're too hostile. I liked Ravenpaw, though, when he shows up later in the series and is more confident.

I wanna give Leafpool a big hug. Poor girls lost everything, but her Clan. Squirrelflight as well. I also adore Firestar in the first series, but he's gotten bland since then.

Also, Mistystar... OHYES. 83

I was a fan, until it started getting silly. :-P I think popularity got the writers a bit drunk. All the silly characters being ridiculously silly put me off of those books. I got to Warriors: The Power of Three, Eclipse and stopped. Things (this is going to sound stupid, stay with me) got unrealistic. They wouldn't react like they did, and things should have had more solid reasons backing them. As it is, its hard to believe. (Shut up, I know the entire idea of cat clans is hard to believe. I can dream, can't I?)

As for favorite characters... Firepaw/Fireheart, before he became leader. He was cool back then. Brambleclaw when he was just the loyal deputy and not some jerk. Spottedleaf, even though we only saw her for a very short time. YELLOWFANG <3. Jayfeather was my favorite of the three, but he was too arrogant. "Oh, I have powers, I deserve more." Ugh. The whole Jay's Wing/Rock thing was neat, though, if frustrating. Leafpool is also great, but I think she should have stayed with Crowfeather in some cave. She really annoyed me after that.

All of my favorite characters are dead, basically, or have changed too much. :-P

I do like the idea of the whole thing, though. (I might even start a Warriors RP up here someday...)

Well it is a fantasy series. I'm actually quite picky on names. I prefer names that actually, well to me, 'make sense'. Some of the names just seem silly to me, although I understand several of those characters in the other clans within the third series were likely made up just to be fillers. Admittedly, Jayfeather and Lionblaze have really gotten arrogant with all this, but it's Breezepelt who annoys me the most. A little emo kitty boy with daddy problems. >>

I am still looking for people to either participate or help me with own little 'adventure game'. It's not going to be a forum based (Well it might be RP'd out on a topic), but I needed idea's for NPCs. XD

If you want to cry to something related to Warriors, here's something that might get you teary eyed -

I also finally worked out MistClans and StormClans allegiances along with tweaking the prolog. I just need to find four dedicated players for it. XD
