is WOF very popular in Russia? ive noticed alot of artists for the fandom use Cyrillic (though my yank brain cant tell the difference between those languages yet due to lack of exposure) so im curious if its a big thing over there
Thanks for the question!
No, our part of fandom is quite small. The most popular group in VK (Russian social network) has only 10k subscribers in more than 10 years of existence. Many artists know each other by their nicknames and styles. And if I mention WoF somewhere irl, they'll ask me what it is.
Although, for example, Warrior Cats are much more popular. In 8 years in the WoF fandom, I have never heard of this one anywhere, except in thematic communities. But I've heard about WC so often that I almost know the lore (I've only read one book)
And we don't have any festivals or big fan meetings dedicated to WoF. It is rare for fans to organize small markets where some artists sell their merch (including other fandoms). But this is a rare event, and usually takes place only in big cities.
