A Wikipedia Love Story
Ray Star & Emo Babygoth
Chapter 1: Cindywolf
I opened my computer as I do everyday, but today was different. Today, when I checked the last activity of my rival, there was nothing. The account had been blocked. Wikipedia felt peaceful without Andy. No more jokes and hidden edits throughout the pages. All was at peace on the website. Finally. It had been months since I had discovered Andy. He was a user who went around editing wikipedia pages wrongly. At last his tyranny was over. I went over to my phone to text my friends that I had finally completed my goal, but then I remembered what happened two months ago.
They had come into my room while I was tracking Andy's action on a wikipedia page about the Jungle book. They said that Wikipedia had been consuming my everyday life and that they were concerned. To be honest, I hadn’t paid much attention to them, I was so close to catching him. I remember hearing something about how if I didn’t stop, then they would stop talking to me. Two months later, here I am. On my own. It hit me. I had no friends inside or outside of the digital world. Who was I supposed to celebrate with?
I closed my laptop and went out for a breath of fresh air. It felt so long since I’d gone on a walk, the smell radiating off me like green puffs of smoke. I walked around the neighbourhood, wishing I could text someone that he was finally gone. When I got back to my parents house, and went into my room, I felt a new, changed woman. It then occurred to me that it wasn't me who blocked Andy. Someone else had.
I quickly went to my computer and went to Andy's account. It said the same blocked message. Underneath, however, in small letters, there was a second username. The person that had blocked Andy: Anthony7
BING
I see a notification on my computer. Another Wikipedia moderator. Someone by the username Cindywolf. Curious, I open the message.
Hey Anthony7,
You don’t know me, but I’ve been trying to track down Andy for months at this point. This morning I saw that you banned him at 2:46 am this morning. I wanted to thank you for catching this miscreant. You’ve done a great thing in the Wikipedia World and I’d like to thank you very very much. You’ve done a great job.
Thank you for this amazing work,
Cindywolf (she/her)
Wow she gets it, I think to myself. It was so nice to see someone else so passionate about the banning of Andy. I look at her Wikipedia page. There is a lot of information on her there. She seems like the type of person I’d want to be friends with. Do I remember what it was like to have friends? I used to be on a soccer team, but the league had ended. I thought to myself, I could use a new friendI. So I drafted a response.
Hello Cindywolf,
Thank you for reaching out to me! I love that there's someone else out there who felt the same way about Andy. If I’m going to be honest I feel like I’ve been spending so much time on Wikipedia that I have nothing else going on in my life, so this means a lot to me
Sorry if that's weird I just don’t have anyone else who understands the pain I’ve felt over this vandalizer.
Hope to talk to you more,
Anthony7
I take a deep breath and press send and go back to her account. She has a lot more on there than me. I’m hard. The image in the corner is a photo of what I can only assume to be her fursona. I don’t want to seem weird, so I scroll away before I can remark on the curves on it. I’ve never been into furries before, but something about the possibility of this new friendship awakens something in me. I hope this can blossom into something beautiful.
I wake up with my head foggy. I fell asleep at my computer again. I wipe the drool off my cheek and look up to find that I have a new email, it's from Anthony7. I quickly read what he said. I understand the pain he’s talking about all too well. When Wikipedia becomes your only life, the only thing you have to look forward to everyday, and then someone comes along and ruins all of the hard work and moderation you've been doing, it becomes your duty to take them down.
I think about all the dating advice I read on reddit. Should I email back? Is it too soon? I don’t want to seem desperate, but it’s been so long since someone understood me as well as he seems to. Anthony7 seems eager as well. Maybe it isn’t too soon.
She emailed me back. Her thick furry thighs dance in my mind. She didnt email immediately, but I only had to stay up until 2:47 AM.
Hi Anthony7,
I feel the same way as you. I have spent all my time trying to find Andy, that I lost myself along the way. I hope we can keep talking, because I feel a connection between us. We’re connected in some way. I think we were bound to meet. I would love to keep talking with you. Maybe sometime in person?
Cindywolf
Did she just say what I think she said? She wants to meet in person? Could I be making a connection to the world? A friend? Or more. Should I email back? What if she doesn’t live near me? Should I ask her out as a friend, or on a date?
I stop myself, my mind is spinning. Nothing has happened yet. For all I know this could be a group of teenage boys pulling a prank on me. But what if this is real. I sent another email.
Hello Cindywolf,
I would love to see you in person sometime. You seem to be actually interesting, not like the other girls I talk to who only care about their looks. I’m glad you understand me so well. Here is my discord so maybe we can talk some more:
Anth0ny_7
It's been 5 days since I emailed Anthony7. We’ve been chatting on discord a lot more and learning about each other. We really want to meet up but he lives in Europe, far away from where I live, in Indianapolis. There’s a furry convention I wanted to go to near where he lives. He’s going to meet me after and we might talk. That's what he said: talk. Like, a date? Or as friends? I’m so excited, but I know I need to manage my expectations. He could be a catfish. Although…… he HAS sent me some photos.
BUZZ. My phone vibrates. I quickly pick it up to see if it's a message from him.
BishBish: I miss you
CindyWolf99: I’ve told you to stop messaging me
BishBish: I know what we had isn’t over. I know you’re coming to the convention in two weeks. I’ll be there.
CindyWolf99: Barbra Shoe, we’re over please stop. This is harassment.
BishBish: see you in 2 weeks ;)
CindyWolf99: Stop contacting me.
BishBish: I know you still love me
BishBish: I know you still want me, don’t try to deny what we had was special
BishBish: I know you still need me
I put my phone away in frustration. For the past three days she's been reaching out to me. I usually just ignore her. I don’t know what piqued her interest now. Barbra Shoe is another Wikipedia Moderator. We bonded over Formula1, and soon what became an innocent online friendship, became more. She's from Japan and the long distance didn’t really work. I found out after 3 months that she had 4 other girlfriends. I only left her after 17 months, I was a fool, thinking she could change. It’s ok, that's all behind me now. Now I can look forward to Europe and meeting Anthony7.
I have never spent this long talking to a female. Ok well at least a female who wasn’t a lesbian. I have one other Wikipedia friend who I talk to alot. At this point all we talk about is Cindywolf. I was so happy when my friend started asking so many questions about Cindywolf. She really wanted to know everything about our relationship. She is so good with girls, she was even able to figure out her favorite formula 1 vehicle just by me talking about her. Cindywolf is all I can think about. When I ordered groceries, I bought BBQ chips, because I know those are her favorites. I have never left my parents' basement. But I will. For her. I get a message notification from my phone. No one else ever texts me (other than my lesbain friend).
CindyWolf99: Andy made a new account
AntsyPantsy7: What?!
CindyWolf99: He’s under the name Anstyfan7
AntsyPantsy7: Do we have anything against him yet?
CindyWolf99: No. This is bad. I might not be able to go to the convention!!!
AntsyPantsy7: What?! Why??
CindyWolf99: Because I have to catch him and I’d have to leave in 3 days to make it to Europe
AnstyPantsy7: babe, you don't need to go. We can catch him after. I used to set everything aside for Andy. Don't let him rule ur life
CindyWolf99: ur right :3 Thank you <3
AnstyPantsy7: anytime ;)
Did you see that! I think I just died. She sent hearts! A girl has never sent me hearts. What does it mean? Does she want to fuck?? But I don't even know how…. I bet she does tho. It's so easy for girls to get laid. But she’s not like the other girls, she doesn't care about looks or what people think of her! She's so quirky and different. I better start practising how to sex before we meet irl. Maybe my lesbian friend can give me some tips. She’ll know what girls like in bed. It sounds like my lesbian friends want to come meet Cindywolf at the convention too. I hope they become friends. I need to make sure to mention she's a lesbian so Cindywolf isn't worried. I would never betray her trust and date another female who isn't my beloved Cindywolf. Maybe they'll bond well since my friend is a lesbian and Cindywolf is also not straight which is totally ok bc i am not homophobic in the slightest, in fact i think gay females are very hot. I hope she's into that. Maybe they'll kiss in front of me.
I’m on the airplane. It’s so hard to sit still on these things, I just want to run around and tell everyone how excited I am. This is the first time I've left my parents' basement in a year. Fresh air tastes so weird. The person sitting next to me doesn’t have headphones, they're blasting some weird musical about the opera and seducing women. I used to also love seducing women, but now I just want to seduce a man. One man, Anthony7. It’s so annoying not having an internet connection on the plane. But it's okay. I’ll see him in person soon enough.
I wake up. I fell asleep on the plane. I look out the window and an announcement comes on that we’re going to land. I get ready to land. This is always my least favorite part. Although, it is pretty exciting because then I’ll be able to live in the same city as Anthony7. My mind continues to think about it. It isn’t until the passenger beside me gets up that I stop daydreaming.
When I’m off the plane I connect to the Airport Wifi, and that's when all the messages come rushing in. Turns out while I’ve been on the plane, Anthony7 and Barbra Shoe have been trying to contact me.
AnstyPantsy7: I caught Andy!!! I assume he’ll be back again.
AnstyPantsy7: Are you proud of me
AnstyPantsy7: Hello? Are you ignoring me????
AnstyPantsy7: ugggg girls are always the same
AnstyPantsy7: Oh i just remembered ur on the plane. Nvm see u sooooon
I can’t tell if that's sweet or a red flag. I probably shouldn’t dwell on it, I mean, I’m already in his city. So I message back
CindyWolf99: Ofc I'm so proud of you!! I just landed in the airport
And then I check my messages from Barbra Shoe, which is always a mistake, and this time was no exception.
BishBish: You’ve been ignoring me
BishBish: Rookie mistake
BishBish: Ik you’re on the airplane
BishBish: I’ll see you tmr <33
I quickly put away my phone. I don’t want to deal with this. How did Barbra Shoe even know I was here? I don’t have time for this. I try to forget about Barbra Shoe and just focus on how excited I am to see Anthony7.
Today’s the day. I wake up at 5:45am. I had picked out clothes the night before. Although I don’t have a fursuit, I try to stay on theme with a little paw pin I borrowed from my mom. I am so excited to see Cindywolf, I've been waiting forward to this day all week. Everynight before bed I imagine what her voice will sound like and what meeting her will be like.
I’m a bit worried about being able to find her before the convention. She sent me a photo of her suit but to be honest, all fursuits look the same, and I don’t know if I can tell the difference. I’m excited to see her actually in the fursuit though, I know it'll be super hot. Both her in it, and the temperature. She’s told me alot about how some furries she knows bring fans with them in the suit.
I leave the house and start walking to the convention centre. By the time I get there there's already a huge line. Fursuits of all shapes and sizes are lined up. I feel a bit uncomfortable that I don’t have one, but then I see some people are just there to support their friends, and aren’t wearing fursuits like me.
AnstyPantsy7: I’m here
CindyWolf99: I’m almost there! I was running a bit slow
My stomach squirms knowing that soon I’ll finally meet her. Right as I put my phone away in my pocket, I feel another buzz. Thinking it’s Cindywolf, I look at it. I was disappointed to see that it was only my lesbian friend. The message read: Turn around.
I’m almost at the convention centre. I’m so excited. Not only to see Anthony7, but also because this building is known for hosting some of the biggest events in the furry community. There will be so many presenters and stores of all sorts of things. I’ve been saving my money for today. I slept in so I’m running to see him. I know I'm late though.
Finally, I approach the center. There is a long line of people all dressed up. Just seeing them makes me so excited for today. I text him, asking where he is. He responds that he’s near the entrance in line. He said he has a lesbian friend who’s with him. I walk towards where they said they are. I’m both excited and scared to meet his lesbian friend. And him.
I see him. He waves me over. As I walk closer I see the woman he’s with. At first I’m annoyed, why is he with another girl? But then I see who it is.
“HEY Cindywolf!” She calls me over. My stomach turns. I know that voice. I want to run away but the pull I feel for Anthony7 is stronger than the hatred I have for her. So, I join the line.
“Hi.” I say nervously to Anthony7. He blushes. He’s so much cuter in person. I can’t believe I’m finally in person. My excitement is short lived and eventually turns to dread as I turn to greet her.
Barbra Shoe.
I can’t believe she's finally here. It’s been a long time coming. I can’t wait to see her face. I’ve already seen photos of her fursuit so I knew what to expect.
She takes off the mask and smiles a hello to me. She is beautiful. She looks over at Barbra Shoe, I can see the wheels turning in her head. It must be because I forgot to mention that she was going to be here too.
“Sorry, I forgot to mention my friend wanted to come meet you as well. She insisted. Cindywolf meet Barbra Shoe.”
“It's so nice to meet you.” Barbra Shoe says, reaching her hand out. Slowly, Cindywolf takes the hand and shakes it. He's still staring at Barbra Shoe with a puzzled look. Maybe it was a mistake to let her come. What if my lesbian friend steals the one girl that might actually like me. Barbra Shoe starts some small talk. Cindywolf doesn’t say much but I think she’s warming up to us. Cindywolf must be more shy in person than online.
“How was the flight?” I ask.
“Long, but good. I didn’t know they had snacks on the plane. They were so good.”
“I know!” says Barbra Shoe, “My favorites are the cookies.”
“Those are good, but they make too many crumbs.” I say.
We waited in the line for a while. I wonder if we’re even getting closer to the entrance. Eventually we did. Cindywolf had a pass that let in up to 4 people. She said she was some sort of furry convention member. I think she had to pay a bunch for it. I wonder if she's rich. Would that mess up our power dynamic.
The convention center is huge. There are people in all sorts of costumes walking around and buying things from all the vendors. Barbra Shoe runs over to one of the stalls selling stickers. I’m pretty sure she meant to give me and Cindywolf some alone time. Silently, I thank her.
“Sooooo,” I say awkwardly as we walk, “where do you usually go first?”
She has her mask on so I can’t tell what she's thinking. After a few seconds of not responding I start to worry that I said something wrong. I’m about to ask if she’s okay before she cuts me off.
“Where did you meet her?” She sounds so stern. I’m a little bit scared honestly.
“Who?” I ask shakely, “Oh, Barbra Shoe? She’s my lesbian childhood friend. Why? Do you know her or something?”
“She’s my ex.”
“What?” I feel like my world is turned upside down. Had Barbra Shoe known it was Cindywolf? What was she planning?
“Yeah, my ex kept texting me that she still loved me and all these crazy things, and I’ve just been trying to ignore her. We didn’t exactly end things in a positive way.”
“How did it happen?”
“I found her sucking some girl off, and get this. The girl was ALSO a furry!!!!”
“Whoa that's crazy,” and also hot, but I didn't say that out loud. “Who was the girl she was having an affair with?”
“Well actually it was several girls. And I found them because I went through Barbra Shoes wikipedia talk page and saw she had been messaging all these furry ass whores. So I looked up one of their addresses and found her house and I was gonna barge in and yell at the bitch for stealing my girl, but instead I found Barbra Shoe on her knees giving her head. So then I ran away and blocked Barbra Shoe and haven't talked to her since. But she keeps texting me begging to talk saying she still loves me and it was all a mistake”
“Damn that's a crazy Cindywolf. I hope you're ok, I didn't realize she even had a gf at any time, I thought she just hooked up with a bunch of random girls all the time.”
“Yeah I think I was her first real gf, that's why she treated me like shit.”
I cant believe Barbra Shoe is actually here. The fact that she has the audacity to come here and be best friends with Anthony7, my (hopefully) future boyfriend. I am so pissed. I have been trying to just be happy and enjoy my time here with Anthony, but her presence is just killing me. I decided to confront her about it. I'm tired of being silent. I want her to know how much she hurt me.
I spotted Barbra Shoe in the audience of a show. Anthony7 went to the bathroom. Now is the one time to approach her.
“Barbra Shoe!” She turns to face me. She looks surprised at first, but when she notices it is me I see the grin on her face grow. She's been waiting for me to come talk to her.
“I was waiting for you to come talk to me.”
Yeah. Bitch, I know, I think.
“Explain yourself.”
“I thought it might come to this,” she said, in the voice of one of those cringy Disney villains, “my childhood straight incel friend, started talking about this girl. He’d tell me everything about you and ask me for tips on how to sex, it didn’t take long to figure out it was you. He was very easy to lure. He’s so oblivious sometimes.”
On that we agreed. She continued, “I couldn’t stand him being with the only girl who made me feel anything. So I devised a plan that would make us meet again. I knew that if you saw me, you’d remember all we had.”
“ What we had was a lie, Barbra Shoe! I’m over you.”
“Whatever helps you sleep at night, love.”
“I just want to know one thing: Why? Why did you cheat on me and then insist you still loved me? Why come all the way to a furry convention just to punish me? What is wrong with you?”
“Oh come on Cindywolf, you know why I came to the furry convention. Because you still love me, I know you do. You still love me and I love you, and so we can get back together again. You know I can treat you so much better than Anthony can. You know he doesnt deserve you, I do”
“But I don't love you Barbra Shoe, not anymore!”
“Yes you do Cindywolf, just admit it!”
“No, I love…I love….” and then i finally admit it, what I've been thinking for weeks “I love Anthony7!!”
Suddenly I see Anthony standing there, he has a stunned expression on his face.
“Whaaaa? Cindywolf ...is that true?” he says quietly, almost too shocked to speak.
“Yes..” and then I get more confident. “Yes! I do, I love you Anthony7! And I've loved you since the day you banned Andy! I am in love with you”
“I love you too Cindywolf! I love how hot you are and your fursuit and how sexy you look in the fursuit. I love you!” He runs over to me and hugs me. I hear the beating of his chest through the fursuit I’m hearing. His body's so warm and comforting. I feel truly loved and cared for. I think I could stay here. I hear him whisper in my ear “I want to rip this fursuit off you.”
I pull away and look him in the eyes, “Not here, can I go to your place tonight?”
“Yes,” he says, a little too desperately, as he leans in for a kiss, forgetting I’m still wearing the fursuit.
“Plleeugh.” he spits out some faux fur. I giggle a little. He’s so funny.
“You'll have to teach me how to sex, Cindywolf. I don't know how,I must learn” Anthony7 says to me.
“Hello? I’m still here.” Barbra Shoe says, but we all just ignore her. No one cares about Barbra Shoe because me and Anthony7 are in love! We spend the rest of the convention forgetting about her and living in our own world. I think I may be truly happy.
Epilogue:
We go back to his house and make a sexual smoothie.
We bang furiously and hard its not as good as Barbra Shoees phone sex. I want to take her back. She used to do this awesom thing where shed turn into a pterodactyl. but anthony doesnt go for the bird and doesnt want that
Maybe i said i love you a bit soon. My type are those who go for the bird.. Anthony doesnt even make a very good smoothie, its kind of bland. He didnt add enough pineapple. I will teach him how to make a milkshake next, hopefully he'll do that right. He moved in with me. Hes turning into a true american. Im hoping being surrounded by eagles makes him go for the bird, hopefully Ill be able to slowly get him to turn into a pterodactly for me. I crave that pterodactyl milk. Barbra Shoe mailed me her milk once. It was the best. I miss that, I miss her and how shed fuck me. Anthony is weak, and only wants to do things if i'm wearing my suit.
It’s been 17 months since the convention. I have slowly been plotting my revenge. The only issue is I don’t know who to attack first. ANthony7? Or Cindywolf, my old muse? I don't talk to Anthony7 anymore since that fateful day at the furry con, even though he is my childhood friend, I now consider him my rival. I must find a way to win back Cindywolf and dispose of that straight incel. She’s far too good for him, I bet he isn't even into pterodactyls.
Be warned Anthony7, I’m coming for you. And also for you Cindywolf but in a sexual way.
