SPOT
"Spot ! Spot's imagination blows my mind. She's done such a fantastic job helping to keep the momentum and spirit of the site going -- setting up plots, orchestrating character interactions, putting forth such unique and interesting ideas for characters and scenarios. She's also such a talented writer! It's been a joy to watch her mind at work."
"Spot! I don't know what all to say except she's just swell all around. Puts hard work and effort not just into writing styles for each character she plays but also for their individual, long-term character arcs."
"Spot. I will jump on this bandwagon because she deserves it."
"Spot just... has such an amazing feel for all the characters she writes? I can't single out just one, whoever she writes always feels 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 of character and unique voice for each one; not just in their dialogue, but in the whole feel of her writing for each. I consistently love seeing all her posts, and always enjoy the chance to bounce my characters off hers!"
"Spot! This girl has always blown me away to be honest. She's energetic and excited for any plot or concept put in front of her and can take anything and roll with it and have fun. I've always felt that in every decision and reaction Spot gives at its core has been a genuine love of writing and community and just plain having fun. So glad to have this sweET OL' BUTTERMILK MUFFIN AROUND! <3"
"Gotta go with our girl spot ! She's such a fantastic writer and such a positive member of the community. It's always a delight to see her talk about characters and their potential in the discord, and the voice she brings to each of her characters is so strong! You can tell how much she cares about each of her characters and the thought she puts in to each of her posts. Keep up the good work, girl!"
"I'm gonna have to agree with everyone else and go with spot ! She's such an amazing writer and she always has such wonderful ideas. I feel like she can make such elaborate plots and OCs. I'm in awe of the entire universe she created within Zootopia just from one background picture. I feel like she always goes above and beyond every thread she's in and plays every single one of her characters so well. "
"spot ! Spot's imagination and creativity is absolutely amazing. Her posts are not only a joy to read, but they add so much meat to the threads she is involved in. She's a plot pusher, and not afraid to try new things and work with characters both old and new."

Character of the Month
SHAN YU
"Shan Yu, as played by Maxine. I'll be the first to admit that I'm not the most comfortable when it comes to writing a character that is purely evil; even my most focused villains have a softer, emotional edge to them. But the sheer amount of thought that you've put into him -- every turn of the wheel that drives his actions... you have captured it all so damn WELL. You have such a clear understanding of his motivations, his thought process, and -- most importantly -- his communicable sense of threat. His commands alone in Kneel in Pieces are such a gripping read. Wonderful, wonderful work."
"Shan Yu , as played by Maxine . She just *gets* this almost feral brute of a man, really knows what's going on behind those yellow eyes, and gives him such a sense of, like? Credible danger? The sense that he's this huge, immovable mountain of a warrior comes through so well in her posts, just as in the movie itself, and his actions and reactions just clinch the deal; she writes him so authentic to the movie, but gives that extra dimension of his thoughts too, which is so fascinating to see."
"Maxine for Shan Yu Fantastic writer as is and extremely engaging to read for an rp setting. Shan Yu isn't a character to bat an eye at and Maxine comes in hot with this character in all of the right ways. In nature and dialogue, it's all VERY clearly Shan Yu to an absolute T. She can carry an rp with him flawlessly and brings such a sinister light to everything with his chosen dialogue, it's so impressive and fun!"
"I'm going to have to go with Maxine as Shan Yu . I feel like Shan Yu is such a hard character to get into the mind of, but Maxy does it perfectly! He's so intimidating, menacing, yet there's a real person in there somewhere. You see all the layers to him and I think Maxy is able to make him the perfect villain!"
"Shan Yu, as played by Maxine. Maxine's Shan Yu is both devilishly delightful to read, and threatening as an adversary to write against. As an evil character, he exhumes both power and charm. I look forward to seeing what comes next from the great Hun."
Thread of the Month
KNEEL IN PIECES
"Kneel in Pieces. As if there were any other choice. This battle thread has been fast-paced, but such a gripping read and a really cool turning point for the overall narrative of the site. I'm really excited to see where this aftermath takes us!"
"Kneel in Pieces obviously, so much fun. Took off right from the start and I feel like everyone has paid careful attention to what's going on and responded accordingly so that it flows really well."
"Kneel in Pieces. I think it’s amazing that, if you think about it, we kind of threw that thread together all in one afternoon but the pace and energy of it turned out so well. Terrific job everyone!"
"Not to echo the crowd too much... but yeah, can it be anything other than Kneel in Pieces right now? The way everyone in it is so involved; they all have a great grasp of their characters, and their various different processes and reactions in a situation such as this. And the unpredictable element of it, the feeling that, you know, anyone could influence the ultimate outcome. In past experience, battle threads can sometimes feel like they really rest on the shoulders of a few key players, and everyone else is just there to be padding; but not here, this one really feels like every action counts, which is so cool to be part of!"
"Hands down, Kneel in Pieces. I've been reading posts from this off and on and I'm just so impressed and proud of everyone taking part in this. Everyone has seriously done such an amazing job taking part in this thread and the concept and inclusion of plot and everything is just fantastic. As far as rp sites and community works go, this is an actual piece of art so well done to everyone involved and I can't wait to see it continue on with the aftermath that everyone will be following up with."
"Just another echo in the crowd, but I have to give it to Kneel in Pieces. You can practically feel the tension and the chaos in the air in that thread, and it's such a fun battle thread to write for!"
"Kneel in Pieces. It's Kneel in Pieces, what can I say that hasn't been said already? Everyone's killing in it and I think it's one of the best written battle threads I've ever had the pleasure of taking part in. It's really amazing to see what can be accomplished when we come together as a community on one thread like that. I just love working and writing with everyone so much and that thread shows why."
"Kneel in Pieces. As if I could choose otherwise. This battle thread has been fast-paced, overwhelming, and surprising to see unfold. I'm still trying to get myself caught up with it! Haha. Well done all of you involved."

Couple of the Month
CONNOR AND COLLEEN
"I feel like I can say Connor/Colleen even though I play one half of it, because spot technically created the characters and is the engine behind this, so really I'm complimenting her again let me love you"
"Maxine NO MA’AM you will not duck out of credit for this because CONNOR AND COLLEEN mostly Colleen. I did initially come up with these characters but let me just say, Colleen was never so likeable or well-constructed before Maxy came along and started playing her on this site, in this setting. You’ve really made her your own, and made her a joy to play a character who has a crush on her. Writing Connor and Colleen’s interactions on my own was never as easy as it’s been writing alongside you. Connor’s head is easy to get into because it’s pretty simple: Colleen represents everything he’s never had and now looks up to. But Colleen’s is more complex and confusing, yet you communicate that very well in the way you play her, especially off of Connor! So there."
"Hands down, Connor and Colleen. It’s already impressive that two original characters have so much love and thought put into them on an individual basis. Add that to the chemistry Maxine and Spot have writing together, and you get a fascinating read. Especially in Kneel in Pieces. What the characters have in common (their tempers, their stubbornness, their hardworking drive) clashes with their motives or feelings about each other. It would be hard to create chemistry (from scratch) in an RP setting where one has to usually write in large amounts to cover everything the character could possibly do or feel before their next turn. But Maxine and Spot tend to write shorter posts and leave space for their characters to interact in a way that seems like real-time to anyone else reading, which takes a patience I don’t often have and works out really well."
"I have to give it to Connor and Colleen. They have such history together, and watching the two of them interact makes that all the clearer. They couldn't be more different from each other, and yet they seem to complete each other so well. Keep up the amazing work, Maxy and Spot!"

Holding steady and strong despite past setbacks, the Enchanted Suns hold true as ever to themselves and what they set out to do. With refugees fleeing to Nottingham with Cursed Thorns hot on their heels our gallant Suns made for a noble defense to safe the weakened and downtrodden.
This intervention against the evil army more than likely saved quite a few lives, but at some cost and risk of their own. Some were injured, but they remain resilient as ever.
This intervention against the evil army more than likely saved quite a few lives, but at some cost and risk of their own. Some were injured, but they remain resilient as ever.
Many of the Cursed Thorns have noticed the visual absence of their great and powerful mistress, Maleficent. As always, dark secrets are kept in hushed whispered between few, and it seems as though with the help of a chaotic goddess our very own Bellwether has stowed the evil dragon queen away and is playing puppet master. She rests in Tartarus in the loving and capable hands of Eris. Meanwhile, in her absence in this realm, Maleficent's thorny curse weakens in the Pridelands and Outlands.
Will any ambitious thorns take notice and be drawn to the newly approachable lands, or perhaps it will raise questions of the status and whereabouts of their leader even further?
Busy and treacherous, the Cursed Thorns don't slow their roll there. In the events of Kneel in Pieces we see our villainous army attempt to finish what they started with Prince Charming's citizens as refuges in Nottingham. Foiled from an easy massacre, however, the Enchanted Suns made a swift arrival to counter the blood bath.

As always these golden unsung heroes are left to pick up the pieces of the battle of the giants, Suns and Thorns. The events in Nottingham could hardly be avoided but the survivors would find aid not only in the Enchanted Suns
strong defensive arrival but in the arms of the Wings who lingered in the old village.
In other events the knowledge of captives within Cursed Thorns ranks are coming to light, and there's whispers of their well being as golden wings are painted upon the stones of Paris to send a sign of hope to those most in need there.

Clash Most Wanted
"The Kind Free Spirit"
Pocahontas is an exceedingly caring and aware individual that could easily find herself in a place where she's looking to support others. With so much carnage and collateral damage between the armies she might be interested in seeking to aid an existing force in the Gilded Wings, or even take off on her own to find refuge for animals who are losing homes to debauchery inclined forces like the Cursed Thorns.

"The Selfish and Proud"
Steele is and ambitiously treacherous creature as far as canines go. He's driven for all the wrong things while happily basking in any degree of attention and fawning her might receive along the way. Pop him into the Cursed Thorns and there's a lot of potential for him to gather a set of allies. Or, maybe you want to see him on the road and assessing his options for a cunning return to the spotlight!

"The Savior of the Heart of Te Fiti"
Moana is driven, spirited, and adventurous. With the Heart of Ti Fiti saved she likely thought that her tribe and home would have no worries going forward. The merging of the worlds might have proved otherwise, and it's likely with all these new beings and creatures about she's sought to explore outward again and see what new wonders are just along the horizon, as well as new dangers!

"The Spirited and Questionable Doctor"
Joshua Sweet is a more than capable doctor as well as a blunt almost aloof man. His allegiance in the future of this new world could find him in a range of places. Has he taken his experiences in life and wished to help a just cause in the Enchanted Suns, or will his existing greed see him hire-able by the likes of the Cursed Thorns? Perhaps he's grown to love the underdogs and will find a place within the Gilded Wings? He's flexible in character and could find himself an addition to any corner of this new world!
