Visit Starclan's Shop to purchase MYO tickets and edit items!

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

Rules.
1. Please follow the guidelines in the coat guide and on the edits list.

2. You may have someone make your MYO for you. They will need to post here and request to be added.

3. Your cat is not real until an admin approves them. You may not use unapproved MYOs or any unapproved cat on our bases. This includes, but is not limited to: uploading unapproved references to your archive, using unapproved cats in official Stars mechanics, using unapproved on-base references to commission or request artwork before approval, etc. Adding a "fake" sign or disclaimer does not overrule this. The Stars lines are not a F2U base and references must go through official approval channels before use.

4. You may only submit 1 MYO for approval per calendar month. This slot always counts for the owner of the cat and not the user who designed the cat. Staff may exchange their monthly staff litter slot for an extra MYO submission slot.

4a. Designing a MYO for someone as a gift will use the gift receiver's slot, even if you provide the items. Be sure to ask for permission before gifting someone a new MYO, as you will be using their monthly MYO slot.
4b. MYO submission slots cannot be gifted/transferred.
5. Do not post unfinished or WIP MYOs.

6. When posting an MYO it is a requirement that all items being used are currently listed on the official archive document.

7. Please label MYOs consecutively: #001, #002, etc.

8. You must fill out the proper forms!

9. Designs must be original pieces created by you (or you must have express permission from the artist who created them). Please include designer credit (if applicable) in your post as well as evidence of the designer's approval to transfer the design.



Disclaimer: The time taken to approve your MYO will differ, and MYOs posted after yours may be approved before yours is. Please be patient - we have not forgotten your MYO!

[ Off-Oekaki MYO thead ]

If you're interested in making or commissioning an off-Oekaki MYO, please visit the above thread for details, posting forms, and the approval process! Do not post off-Oekaki cats under Oekaki covers. The linked thread also covers edits to existing off-Oekaki cats - even if their approval is older and originally hosted on the main MYO thread.

Remember to link to your off-Oekaki cat's approval post when linking them in the nursery, explore, archive, etc.

Please note that we do not allow parts of the Stars base to be traced or redrawn unless necessary for an edit.
This includes redrawing parts of the base to better match your edit style.

ＮＯＴＥＳ

Please note that both ears should have the same height/shape edits. Ear scars, missing ears, and ear placement do not need to match.
Mixing the different fur length bases is not allowed. Base tails may be mixed with different base fur types (using the whole tail, not combining pieces of different tails) and are not a fur edit.
Due to previous edit retirements, cats with a tuft tail (UC) or sleek tail (C) edit on their edits list now roll for an additional min fur edit in litters.
Some retired myth edits may pass as a different myth edit now. This will be noted on the later posts of the cat's Oekaki page.
Contact an applicable community helper or admin for confirmation of rarity if unsure!

[ Main FAQ • Nursery FAQ • Archive FAQ • Off-Oekaki MYO FAQ • Quest Board FAQ • Prompts FAQ • Explore FAQ • Artist Search FAQ ]

ＭＡＮＡＧＥＭＥＮＴ
Q: Where is the shop? Where do I buy MYO tickets and edit items?
A: All Stars items, including MYO tickets, are now sold in StarClan's shop! Purchase forms are posted directly on the archives using the "buying items" form.

Q: When is StarClan's shop restocked?
A: Typically somewhere around the first few days of the month! There isn't an exact schedule and restocks aren't always announced.

Q: Who can approve my MYO?
A: I Like Bees will be handling most MYO approvals! Occasionally, an admin or helper may assist with an approval as well ^^

Q: Can I buy MYOs with C$ / tokens / pets?
A: At the moment, MYOs and other items are only available for in-game currency (stardust). Items may not be traded for C$ either, unless they meet the limited exceptions from the trade rules on the archives.

Q: May I create a cat off-Oekaki?
A: Yes, you can find the info on our off-Oekaki MYO thread!

Q: I'm not added to the MYO cover! How do I make my cat?
A: Just post on this thread to ask to be added and I'll add you asap! ^^

Q: Can I transfer an existing design into Stars?
A: Yes! However, you must receive clear permission from the artist who created the design to transfer it into Stars, and provide this during the approval process. Additionally, you must include credit to the original designer in your post. Please keep in mind that the design may need to undergo changes to fit Stars guidelines.


ＥＤＩＴＳ
Q: Does my Common MYO (C MYO) get unlimited common edits?
A: Yes! All C MYO tickets have unlimited common edits.

Q: Does my Uncommon MYO (UC MYO) get unlimited common edits? Does my Rare MYO (R MYO) get unlimited uncommon and common edits?
A: Yes to both of these! All MYO tickets get unlimited edits of the rarities below the ticket rarity. For example, an uncommon MYO ticket gets unlimited common and NR edits.

Q: Can I add another edit to my cat after it's already been approved?
A: After a cat has been approved, you may not edit the design without applying the proper rarity edit item (you can buy these in StarClan's shop). All edits to existing approved cats must be applied via color-in and receive approval again. Be sure to fill out a "using items" form on the archives so your cat can be approved! You can find the full details regarding applying edits to an existing cat in the how to play post and main page FAQ.

Q: Where can I find info on a specific item?
A: Our regular item descriptions are in StarClan's shop, and our event-exclusive item info is hosted here!


ＧＲＯＷＴＨＳ
Q: Can MYOs be kits/apprentices?
A: Yes! You will be responsible for their growths, and the date that they can grow will be given when they're approved. Growths must be approved and can only be approved on or after their growth date! Please bump the thread, post in the Discord's #approval-for-myos channel, or reach out to someone to have your cat's growth approved.

Q: What should I do if I want to add an edit that will only appear on my cat's reference once the cat is grown?
A: When posting the original kitten/apprentice ref for approval, you should list every edit that your cat will have once growth. If something is not listed, we will assume your cat has the default lines, and you'll need to apply edit items for any new edits shown (or edits changed/removed!). NR edits don't need to be listed as they can be added/removed for free with approval.

Q: When can my MYO grow?
A: Your MYO can grow from kit to apprentice 3 weeks after the MYO was posted, and apprentice to warrior after an additional 3 weeks! If you skip the apprentice growth, your kit will still take 6 weeks to grow to a warrior. These growth dates go by the time your cat was posted, not the time they were approved. Growths cannot be approved until the day they are scheduled to grow.

Q: Can I post my MYO's growths in advance / during the approval process?
A: Yes! You're welcome to post all three (or two) growths at the same time, to ensure all their markings and edits are accurate and won't require future editing or use of edit items later down the line. Linking a clear image of the references to have them checked in advance is also fine! However, your cat's growths cannot be approved until the date(s) they're scheduled to grow, and you may not use their growths until the growths are approved!
