Create A Clan Fanclub - V2 -

[Chamrosh]

quietly shies away from being asked for advice and instead goes to hide in a tree/ other suitable place @tauriel. @ Enchanted (not sure how to do hearts here)
Sure, but don't expect it to be detailed unless there's already suggestions XD)

@Emberwisp
Every analysis needs a catchphrase... "X would be great at cinema sins" "It's a white guy with acoustic guitar song" "This is Garryx Wormuloid and welcome to Earthling Cinema" etc

@Simonpet
Fairly, yeah. I mean, I think new ends of names are almost always good, but there should be a clear connotation of what it means, and that meaning should be positive, because otherwise the leader's essentially saying it's okay to mock that specific cat that gets the negative name. I'm more open to what first bits are, as long as a cat could reasonably encounter it and associate it with the cat. So coat colour is always acceptable for their prefix, but so, sometimes, is an occurance if it doesn't clash with the colour, and an occurance may influence the choice of suitable names.
Eg, if a grey cat is born shortly after a fire, he might be more likely to be named Ashkit or Smokekit than if he weren't born after a fire, or a black or white kit might also be named either of those because they don't actually clash, and it'd just be mildly unusual. A gingerkit would still be unlikely to be called either of those, but he might be called flamekit or blazekit or firekit when he wouldn't have otherwise. I don't know why all these example kits are male, either.

I don't like named-after-the-eye-colour names, because kits get named before the eye colour settles. I think there should always be room for some slightly abstract names, as long as it's still reasonable that the cats would know what it is. Some people protest against flint- or salt- but I think there would be reasonable instances when cats could encounter them, and it's perfectly reasonable that a clan might have, at some point, had a cat who insisted on naming something, and so they would differentiate on everything. That said, I think some lee-way is always needed, because if you're too strict about it then it's not fun for everyone, and what's the point if it's not enjoyable?

now that we're talking about queens, how do you make your cat have kits?

[deimido]

@♥ Enchanted ♥ - have two of your cats become mates, your mod will then announce that one of them will have kits. (which are born after two posts you make) :0

@Katrione - im dead-set on naming one sheepkit i swear !! i cant wait to see what they look like but AAAAA im lazy and cant will myself to make a post OTL

[krazykitty00]

@sol, I'm with you there. I want to write for my clan, bit I have no clue what to do right no. Lord save me XD
I think I'm just going to steal Emberwisp's idea of putting everyone in a random generator and start developing some kitties :3

Also, I just noticed that in my last post that I wrote instead of writing lots of kittens for Cinderblaze's litter, my phone auto corrected it to loss and now I have a dead kit! Moral of the story kids, don't type a large post on your mobile phone. It hurts both your hand, and your kits.. now I'm sad DX

Anywho, what's going on here at the fanclub? I think I missed a bit. Oh, and congrats Ember on Nour he's so pretty~♡

@krazykitty00 - we were kinda discussing about adding new features to the game, dino suggested a lucky dip. while i suggested smth to do with kits, which got expanded upon by other posts from everyone. :0

you wrote your last soulclan post on your phone?! thats something i could never manage omg

[Chinch Bug]

I write everything on my phone. I don't see much problem in this XD maybe it's because i have neither a PC nor a laptop and my tablet hates me

@Chamrosh: I agree that there should always be a positive connotation to the prefix/suffix although in my opinion (and fanfictions), name-changes are looked upon positively because they show that the cat bearing the name has survived something that most others can't.

For me, prefixes always have to correspond to the pelt color although kits might be named after an event if there is a suitable prefix (ex: Storm-, Ash-, Fire-, Smoke-) and I try to avoid having too many multiple prefixes (ex: Fire-, Blaze-, Flame-). I agree that naming after the eye color isn't the smartest thing (if you're writing realistically and the kits aren't born with settled eye colors) and naming cats after something they've never encountered also isn't a good idea (and if prefixes come from the outside, I'd guess that they'd have to check it with at least several other cats before adding it to the roster).

And of course, to each his own! Some people like using "lyrical" naming, and while I'm not a fan, some of the names do sound pretty (ex: Mintwing, Heatherscar)! Others like using semi-traditional (like you) or variants on traditional (take a look at Foxthroat, Spiderwhisker, Jackelstep, or Grey from their respective blogs). And in my opinion, that's what makes the Warriors naming conventions so great! It's fantastic to see what people come up with, even if I don't always agree.

Same xd. I have a computer but I'm usually too lazy to go downstairs.

[whatswrongwithangela]

for naming i usually just stare at the cat and open up a prefix and suffix dictionary in my mind thinking.
"what would suit this cat?"

@krazy

Oh gosh, I'm so sorry!!!!
