I'm sure if you've made it this far on the web you've more than likely heard of Warriors, AKA Warrior Cats. If you haven't, Warrior Cats is a massive (I mean 100+) long-running (still running) book series focused on the lives of feral cats living in the forest. It's awesome trust me <- guy who has had over a decade long special interest

My introduction to Warriors was through Animal Jam around 2014, I saw all these awesome people roleplaying in Sarepia Forest as wolves, foxes and the odd snow leopard. I started roleplaying before I had even read the books, I got SUPER into "literate roleplay" (it was this massive thing where you would exclusively describe the cat's body parts with their FULL anatomical names. it meant you were SUPER cool. obviously. so I wrote all of them down in my little Smiggle notebook and would reference them to roleplay. AJ Warrior Cats is definitely one of the sited I used, that's thankfully still live.) Next time I visit my parents I'll see if I can find the aforementioned notebook...

Not long after, I got to reading the books in 2015 and I just fell in love with the series. I got into roleplaying on Chicken Smoothie, as well as Instagram, where I eventually met one of my best friends (still friends to this day!!). I then got into the Instagram Warrior Cats/Furry art community where I began sharing my art and Warriors fanart :)

Admidst this I also discovered Warrior Cats MAPS (Multi-Animator Projects). Some of the earliest ones I remember watching were Buy The Stars, We All Still Die, Blame, Always Gold & Wolf, as well as SSS Warrior Cats.
