My friend posted this Fanfiction on my wall and well I am not exactly sure how to exactly explain this Fanfiction, mostly because I am not entirely sure what exactly happened in it. I used to be a huge member of the Warrior Cats fandom, I adored the books as as preteen and they really did help me get through a lot of things that happened in my life during those years. I am grateful for those books. The fandom though, can be very interesting. They usually are going through a faze of new-coming artists so their drawings aren't exactly the best and stuff like that. Warriors did help people get inspired to get into things they are much greater at now which is always a great thing.
However...I don't really think this Fanfiction really does help anything. I don't think a young aspiring writer wrote this story.
Here is the link to it from a blog on Tumblr called The Worst Warriors. It pretty well displays some pretty..interesting..things from the Warriors fandom.

I did find some pretty smart points about the books though in this story which is strange. The story is extremely stupid and I don't really know what exactly happened in it yet I found some really clever points about the Warriors series in there. Allow me to name a few.
1. First of all the amount of times Heavystep died. In the books Heavystep was a character from Riverclan who pretty much was the Kenny of the series from South Park. He died a ton of times but always came back only to die again. The Fanfiction made the same comparison with me and even brought in the infamous "Oh my God they killed Kenny!" line into that scene of the story. I find that very smart of the author.
2.Rowanclaw's changing gender. Throughout the series Rowanclaw's identity was always changed, a few times he was a boy, the next she was a girl. The books never really chose what poor Rowanclaw was.
3. The truth about sequels and how they are never as good. It really is true, for the most part of things anyways. Such as The Hunger Games series, I loved the first book. I thought it was amazing and I've read it many times. The other two books, I didn't like at all. I found them to be very dry and boring compared to the first. It was like that for the two Skyclan books in the Warriors series too, as pointed out in the Fanfiction. Firestar's Quest was a great book and I found it to be very intriguing the other Skylan book...ehhh not quite so much.
I still think that the Fanfiction is quite stupid, I'm just trying to look at it in a different perspective.
