September of the Months!

Member of the Month: I'm going to cast my Motm vote for Cheetah !
He's an extremely thoughtful member all around. I've seen him spending a lot of time thinking through his character choices, being considerate of other members and the plots they've put together and finding a way to take part in as many aspects as he can in the site. On top of it he also brings such a fun quality to the site by offering specific gifs for peoples accounts, he always does such a good job and gets them done super fast and I'm always so amazed by it. I just think it's such a nice thing to do when he certainly isn't required to offer them!

Character of the Month: Truthfully I've been eye-balling her for a time now and I think it's about time I give credit where credit is due! Angel played by eddiesand ! From the start he's ran into this with Angel at top speed, ready to toss her into the thick of it and get Angel busy with the happenings of the site. There's something especially Disney about a small charming dog in such a large world carving their own adventure and I think being able to tackle that and read true to it's original source while also being a new and interesting adventure is very special. And he does a fantastic job doing it and writing her character, everything he writes and says with her I can hear and see in her voice, and that's always the fun part about these kind of sites. It's super enjoyable to be able to see a character out of their original environment, talking to people and animals they'd have never talked to otherwise, and being able to believe it when you read it. And Eddie pulls that off so well with Angel, and I can't wait to see where he's going to take her in the future because I know it's just going to be a packed adventure for the lil' girl!

Thread of the Month: V for Victory!
Our Thorns earned their victory time from Chaos Intervenes plot, its super cool to see the aftermath and them celebrating their terrible deeds. LOL

Member of the Month: Cheetah !! Cheetah has been such a positive influence on this group overall. He's a superb writer; you can really tell he goes the extra mile to get into a character's head when writing for them, and really takes the time to figure out how they'll react to a situation. He's also great at building the narrative around what his characters are involved in. He's willing to listen to ideas people have and be considerate of what they have in mind, but also isn't afraid to jump in and give his own suggestions, too. And on top of all of that, he makes such a huge contribution to helping the site feel alive with his animated avatars!! Thanks for everything you do around here to help make the site such a joy to be a part of.

Character of the Month: I really have to hand it to Nolybab with Elsa . She's such a complex character beneath her exterior, and you handle her so well, it's astonishing. Her elegance, her anxieties -- watching her noble facade start to crack after the events of Chaos Intervenes especially has already been super fascinating. I love the choices you've made with her, and I'm so excited to follow where her journey leads!

Thread of the Month: Kindred Spirits. Cinderella and Duchess's budding friendship is one of those instances that -- much like in Overboard -- you have two characters from two separate canons that you wouldn't think would work so well together, but they do. This is of course helped very well by Boulder and Persephone writing their characters so beautifully. Really love getting to follow this one!

Member of the Month: I'm gonna once again nominate spot, particularly now that she's taking on more characters here. She has such an amazing feel for all the characters she writes; I'm sure this isn't the first time I've mentioned that I absolutely love her take on Lilo, but I can't single out just one character: all of hers feel like they fell right out of the movies, she takes into account so many different aspects of their canon and weaves them into such depth for the characters. I love seeing all her posts, and look forward to interacting with her more on here! ^^

Character of the Month: I've gotta join the chorus here, I think. Let me preface, first, by saying that I was so relieved to get onto this site and see that Angel was already in capable hands. If she hadn't been, I would probably have grabbed at her again, out of old habit as much as anything else; but I've got so bored of writing her in the war context that I would not have done her any justice at all.

eddiesand , though: he gives Angel such a life, such spirit and believability. I know well just how many subtle facets Angel has to her personality; and Eddie does a spectacular job of keeping track of every one of them at all times. She displays far more reality and depth in his hands than the movie allowed her to, artfully interspersed with these little bits of wisdom that the streets taught her for a really effective portrayal. As you know, Angel was my favourite character for the longest time; and seeing the way you handle her on here has completely reminded me why that was.

Thread of the Month: I'm gonna nominate Cause You and Me, We Make Each Other Better. Its only just starting out, but already Corgi and Inky have me hooked; they both know their characters, and the dynamic between them, so well; and I eagerly await the Tiana / Naveen fluffies to follow

Member of the Month: Nolybab because no one is more helpful or welcoming, at least to me, despite the WONDERFUL HORDES OF SPARKLING LOVELIES on this site.
Character of the Month: I haven’t been here long, but so far it’s Captain Amelia as played by Cheetah . I could just hear her no-nonsense Emma Thompson voice in every post! Genius. Also, honorable mention for Jane Porter because I love the inclusion of her scientific, animal-geeky side. Just darling. Oh, and the takes on Cinderella and Duchess are just AGH so INTERESTING! In this war setting I feel like a character is normally played pretty slowly with things just happening to them haphazardly. But Persephone and Boulder gave their characters a plot and a direction right away by incorporating them so uniquely!
Thread of the Month: I’m going to go with V for Victory because of the diversity of characters, but how they’re all somehow fitting together in the way they interact—especially Scar, Zira, and Kovu.
