Wands and Worlds
was a discussion site focused on teen and children's fantasy and science fiction. It was founded in 2005 by Sheila Ruth and grew to incorporate a wide variety of active members from many fandoms, the most popular being Warrior Cats, due to the semi-regular author chats held at the site. Although it is still used for book discussion, it became more of a general forum for teens, and other ages as well.
This website provides examples of:
- Anyone Can Die: During a Mafia, to the point where normally benevolent members can turn quite sneaky.
- Badass Bookworm: Everyone can have their moments.
- Berserk Button:
- People calling Cloud Wind a girl.
- Losty thinks that the whole "the government is the root of all evil" thing gets old pretty fast.
- Big "NO!": Taken to epic proportions on more than one occasion.
- Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Ivyflower.
- Breaking the Fourth Wall: Reality and Fiction, etc.
- Cloud Cuckoolander: Sevenclaws, and proud of it.
- Cloud "I just put a head and some eyes on layaway, guys!" Wind, AKA the guy that Sevenclaws calls "Freakish Person."
- Cool Big Sis: Crescentmoon.
- Cool Old Lady: Starsight, AKA Long-Tongued Old Lady. This nickname was originally something of a Berserk Button but now seems to be tolerated for the most part.
- She's not THAT old...
- Crazy Cat Lady: Many members are self-identified Crazy Cat Ladies.
- Dysfunction Junction
- Expanded Universe: There is now a wiki.
- Genki Girl: A lot of the younger members, most notably Forestpelt's early days.
- Headphones Equal Isolation: Averted by several members.
- Heterosexual Life-Partners: Flametail and Lakestorm.
- Insane Troll Logic: Occurs when one is bored in the chatroom for too long.
- It Has Been an Honor: Most members who are leaving say something to this effect.
- Large Ham: Lakestorm.
- Late-Arrival Spoiler: This happens a lot among the forums.
- Lethal Chef: Spirithunter.
- Naughty by Night: The late-night Skype conversations members have definitely would not be allowed under the rules of the actual site.
- The Nicknamer: Sevenclaws. His nicknames (and for that matter, himself) are undoubtedly the best. No contest.
- Pint-Sized Powerhouse: Magicyop.
- The Rival: Rabbitfoot and Sevenclaws - it goes both ways, although Seven considers everyone else to be his rival to a lesser extent.
- Running Gag: Many.
- Shout-Out: The names Brightspirit, Braveheart, and Shiningheart from Long Shadows were coined by members in honor of a Warriors fan and her family who were killed by the February 2008 tornado in Kansas. [1] [2]
- Small Name, Big Ego: Sevenclaws, without a doubt. Not that anyone minds.
- The Straight and Arrow Path: Iceclaw.
- Team Mom: Sheila.
- The Watcher: There must be several members who aren't premium but read the forums anyway.
- Your Days Are Numbered: Premium membership only lasts a year.
