Re: wank containment area - Warrior Cats eye color wank

(Anonymous) 2018-08-14 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
For anyone who wants a nice vintage-flavor ongoing wank to popcorn at/palate cleanse with, the extensive and sprawling Warrior Cats wiki is currently being held hostage over a character's eye color and some quality slapfighting over fictional cats is taking place.

The Warrior Cats series is a franchise written by eleventy billion authors and edited by a large executive team. It features like... six or seven different series and a ton of stand-alone books, all with different protagonists, most with 3 or more protagonists, and a huge supporting ensemble cast. Because of this factual errors are pretty frequent, especially with regards to details about the characters' appearance. (There have also been less frequent but fandom-appreciated errors such as one background character switching gender in between series. The character eventually became a recurring supporting character and hooked up with another popular supporting character and is now popularly headcanoned as trans.)

The first series started in 2005 and books are still being published, which contributes to the proliferation of errors but also means that although the Warriors series is YA/children's fiction, it has a sizable fanbase of young adults mixing with the teens and tweens, which is why drama there is of note.

The Warriors fandom is also heavily art- and animation-based, with a lot of collaborative art projects. Many people use the fan-run wiki as an easy reference for their art collabs to make sure all the characters look the same, so it gets a lot of traffic.

Recently one of the authors, who runs a blog for the fans, was asked about the eye color of series protagonist Dovewing, who was first described with golden eyes and has alternated between green and blue eyes since then. The author said that she always pictured the character's eyes as blue. This sparked a wild rumble in the Warriors fandom unlike any ever seen before and since I'm only adjacent to this fandom I'll let this impassioned YouTube video on the Dovewing's-eyes-are-green side of the wank titled "Why I hate the warriors wiki" explain it...

here is Dovewing's (locked) wiki page with a paggro note at the top:

here is the wiki discussion page devoted to Dovewing's eyes:

here are some kickass collaborative animations released by the fandom recently, unrelated to Dovewing's eyes (though Dovewing features in the two, she's the little gray cat):

Is this femslash related because lesbians are supposed to love cats or are there lesbian cats I'm supposed to care about?
