ohhh my god I was super obsessed with Warriors in 2nd grade, it was insane.
All I did were read those books, the super editions, the comics, the field guides, I even downloaded a Warrior Cats app.
I collected stuffed animal cats and named them after the warriors of Thunderclan, and I even wrote stories based off of Warriors. It was all I could talk about. I also read the prequels and other books from “Erin Hunter” (Survivors and Seekers), but I ceased to read any of the books after the release of Bramblestar’s Storm. I don’t know if the two new series are any good, but I have no idea about any of them. Anyways, I always thought I should be called Snowblossom, and I’d be a medicine cat from RiverClan who still liked to fight even though she wasn’t supposed to. Idk man, the name is pretty weird. I would read The Ultimate Guide like religiously, except for Brightheart’s page. I’d super freak out whenever I saw it. My two favorite cats were always Lionblaze and Dustpelt. I always thought Lionblaze should get with Poppyfrost, and I

was soooo sad when Dustpelt died, he was my ultimate favorite.
Anyways, I haven’t talked about Warriors in years, but it was like my entire childhood. I even still remember where I was when I read the first book, what I thought about it, who gave it to me (thank you grandma for the obsession), well, everything. On occasion, I’ll still see my Warrior books lying around (I own like 85% of them) and reminisce on those days.
Why did you freak out about Brightheart's page?
I've read the field guides but never really took interest in them, the only one I found interesting was Brighthearts page, that and bc my edgy 10 yr old self thought i'd be cool to make my first warriors oc almost a direct copy and because I also wanted it to look cool, I named her: Scarheart. god, im so done with myself lol.

This image really scared little 8/9 year old me
I've read through everything up to "Dawn of the Clans". Of the Super Editions, I've read up to Tallstar's Revenge. I've skipped around the manga series. I've read nearly all of the Novellas, and all of the Field Guides.
I started in 3rd grade, getting into the series for easy Reading Log hours, but then I got hooked, and so did my friends. We played "Warriors" whenever we could during recess, and we were obsessed or at least I was, and they were humoring me. For reference, I'm now an adult, so I had a lot of time to read all of that. I haven't really gotten into the new stuff, it just doesn't have the same feel to it compared to the original series (I'm sentimental, alright?). Shit, does that mean I'm considered an Elder now?!
Ah, anyways. My Warrior name at the time was Hawkclaw. My friends were Swiftfoot, and Mosspath (later changed to Owlflight). Contrary to our names, we weren't part of WindClan, we were actually from RiverClan.
I remember reading all of it in fourth and fifth grade (almost five years ago heh) and I kept reading after and got a few books into the (what i think is) newest series but it just doesn't hit the same for me
But I used to play Warriors with one of my friends during recess too and it was honestly a lot of fun. My name was Flameclaw and my friend was Silverclaw and it was great
A lot of people made fun of me for it but honestly? It was one of those things that still makes me really happy to think about since it was just simpler times and happy memories
I haven't really talked about Warriors in years either!! But it was technically my first fandom and it's just sentimental value.
also some parts of the books were kinda violent when I think about it now
One of my favorite memories is going to the library and checking out the field guides and a bunch of different super editions and having this stack of warriors books to take home and read during the week :)
I've started reading Warriors a few years ago. The first book I read was The Rising Storm, and then I read Midnight. When I realized they were out of order, I started reading them right. I have finally finished A Vision of Shadows, and I can't wait to start the next series!
A Vision of Shadows? oh dang, im still on the Omen of the Stars arc! well i mean, i did start reading September of last year and then I took a break and then kinda read all the books over again and when Squirrelflights Hope was still a preview, i was half way though the Power of Three arc and then i took, ANOTHER BREAK and then i read the Power of Three arc again and now im on Night Whispers aka the 3rd book in the Omen of the Stars arc! ive already spoiled like the entire series for me so that fun– but i never read Fire and Ice from the first arc bc i thought it was boring, still think it is tbh
I need to see mah supplier but the FRIDGING QUARENTINE MAKES IT DANG NEAR IMPOSSIBLE!! but i'm on the third series and i haven'tt read many super editions
honestly, the only reason im able to read the books is bc im reading them online! even though I do lose my pages sometimes, its fine, lol.
I get that one but the site is amazing and fun
