member, Hatter

Aside from staying active when many have become busy, Hatter has also provided us with two lovely new members! Rain and Bee, who are a fantastic addition to our family. And besides that, she's just all around cool and fun!

staff, Bast

Poor Bast has been doing so much around here. Whenever I ask, Bast almost always says that she's advertising, which is such a help for the site! She really picked up and has been pulling her weight, and probably my own as well. xD I always see her replies almost immediately to her threads, too.

male character, snowstorm

I love love love him. I adore his calmness, yet somehow continually boiling personality. It's really quite cool and mysterious.

thread, You'd Know My Heart If You Know My Place ft. Snowstorm and Crimsonfire

This has been one of the most active threads recently, and it's very fun reading the action.

quote, "Contrary to your belief, we don't care." - crimsonfire

What a harsh slap in the face. I love it! It really brings out the unsympathetic and arrogant nature of Crimsonfire.

[Bast]

member, Poi

Poi has been a steadfast member since the site reopened and joined us as a new member at the new opening. Her characters are well planned out and the bios are beautiful (if you know me, you know I love beautiful bios). Even when we hit slumps in the beginning, Poi still logged on and was active in the c-box which I greatly appreciate since she kept me company a lot ^^

staff, Nominee here

Reason for nomination here.

male character, Crimsonfire

What can I say? He's a hothead from hell that drives everyone insane and is set off by the littlest of things. I love characters like this because they're so unpredictable and make threads just that much more interesting.

female character, Scab

If you wanted a straight answer on why I like Scab as much as I do, I honestly couldn't give you a straight answer. She's nervous and unsure but there's an innocence around her that I just love.

relationship, Snowstorm x Scab

Man, I really didn't think this relationship would interest me as much as it does but I am hooked. It's so interesting to me how a nervous loner could actually interest a character as stoic as Snowstorm and bring out the kindness in him that very few cats get to see. I look forward to seeing more of it.

thread, {this is the story of a girl} ft. Leafshadow and Swiftstep

I see budding romance in this thread and just love the dynamic. Swiftstep is a real gentleman and sweetheart and Leafshadow is just blushing and shy. It really just makes me smile.

quote, "...it's your duty to teach me. So teach me." - Monarchpaw

Man, Monarchpaw is a pistol and loves to remind Dawnflower of that fact. I think this quote perfectly embodies Monarchpaw's frustration with her mentor and her determination to succeed no matter what.

member, poi

I see her in the cbox alll the time! i love reading her bios for her chracters, and her posts, when i have nothing else to do! she's super friendly and just an all around great person!

staff, Bast

Well, she is always online, she never makes you wait for a post, and her posts are long, detailed, and easy to reply to. I personally think she works her butt off for SB, and deserves this award a million times over.

male character, Snowstorm

Seriously?! I can't even give a reason other than, he's a trooper. Even though he has two gaping holes in his side, he refuses to let Crimsonfire help him.

female character, Monarchpaw

She's a fiesty little thing, but she is also understanding, as shown in the thread with her and Dawnflower. She is dynamic, while still staying true to who she is.

member, Poi

Little Poi is always here, lurking, posting, or chatting. She’s lovingly active, and a person that is just generally really easy to get along with. Her characters make me happy and though I have yet to role-play with her, I’m sure it’ll be a pleasure :)

staff, bastdear <3

How could it be anyone else? Not only is Bast setting up nearly every thread, she’s also advertising constantly, accepting bios, making announcements, and promoting activity. She’s an absolute joy to role-play with- in terms of versatility and creativity and everything else- and I’m in love with all of her characters <3 I think Bast is just a really great asset to the team and to the site in general.

male character, Crimsonfire

He’s so stubborn. Seriously. He’s also hot-headed, ambitious, driven, and a little bit self-centered. Oh well- he makes everything interesting. Poor guy, having to jump into the leadership chair so suddenly.

female character, Dawnflower

I love her. I love how Bast creates her character, nervous and so broken. Her thoughts are so believable, and so sad. They make me want to cry. She’s like a dream, in the way she moves and talks, and I just want to hug her pain away <3

relationship, Snowstorm x Crimsonfire

I really like how much they hate each other. That sounds bad. But seriously. Even with two gaping holes in Snowstorm, he still managed to muster up the hate-train.

thread, You'd Know My Heart If You Know My Place ft. Snowstorm and Crimsonfire

It was actually just really fun to creep. I really, really enjoyed the writing style that was used and the detail that went in to the posts. Maybe I'm crazy, but I see future bromance. *shrugs*

quote, "Loyalty should be respect and kindness toward clan mates!" - Swiftstep

What a gentleman, listening patiently to Leafshadow and then announcing to the entire clan how he felt to make her feel better. I thought this statement pretty much summed up what he believed. Cutie <3

member, Hatter

Hatter is fun to talk to and generally always close at hand if anyone needs her. I haven't gotten to roleplay with her since the site reopened, but I look forward to it, as her characters are always wonderfully fun and she does such a great job with them and all their plots.

staff, Bast

Haha uhmm, do I even need to post this?! Come on now. Really. Bast has done a beautiful job of taking over the site and keeping it running smoothly no matter what, even when it was incredibly hard. She's nearly always close by if anyone needs her, and she's always keeping an eye on things - members, threads, characters, bios, you name it! I'm not sure I'd have come back after the reopening if not for her, and I'm glad she talked me into it<33

male character, Crimsonfire [erm...star?]

Even though he's clearly not ready to become leader, he's putting on a brave face and doing what needs to be done. And with his temper so easy to flair and the risk of completely sporadic mood swings, who isn't interested to see what he's going to do next?

female character, Dawnflower

She seems so real sometimes in the way she thinks and the things she does that you can't help but have your heart go out to the poor nervous little thing. She's so freaking adorable it makes me sick<3

relationship, Snowstorm x Crimsonfire

Is it just me, or is the way they hate each other totally hilarious? It kind of makes me wonder, what does happen when an unstoppable force meats an immovable object?

thread, You'd Know My Heart If You Know My Place ft. Snowstorm and Crimsonfire

Like Hatter, I enjoyed the crap out of creeping on these guys here.

quote, "Contrary to your belief, we don't care." - Crimsonfire

There's something to be said about the irony of "respect your elders" being overruled by "I rank higher than you." It just goes to show more of the conflict between him and Snowstorm, which is pretty priceless as it is.

member, I can't pick

Reason for nomination here.

staff, Bast

Bast is awesome, and has handled the transition that occurred just nicely and is always here and being nice to everybody and advertising.

male character, Crimsonfire/star

While I haven't ha the pleasure of posting with him yet, I have stalked his threads and he seems like a lovely character with all the right flaws that makes you love him and hate him at the same time. Plus even though he's really not ready to be leader, he's trying to be strong. Which makes me want to hug him though I think he would bite my face off

female character, Dawnflower

She's so shattered and broken -- and she seems so real and alive because she struggles. She faces the challenges that come to her and is loyal to her clan above all else. It's a solid thing to go against your family, even if they are evil.

quote, "...it's your duty to teach me. So teach me." - Monarchpaw

I love her. Simple, and this quote is just her entire personality summed up those simple words.

member, Hatter

Rain and I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for Hatter. She's been so helpful with everything, from plots, to tables, to just being there to talk to. She's a coolcat.

staff, Bast

Has this section been removed? Simply cause Bast is a given?

male character, Adderstar

Thought Adderstar could use a little love here. I don't know why we're all so attracted to the hot-tempered males, but we are. Adderstar puts on such a confident facade, but truly, he feels unprepared to take over the entire Clan. It just gives him such a realistic quality that I'm sure a lot of us can relate to. Also, his encounter with his deceased companions really does prove that he has a good heart.

thread, {the stars lean down to kiss you} ft. Sunpaw & Monarchpaw

It's been very fun to read (and creep). The idea of a possibly blossoming friendship that overrides Clan boundaries has always been enthralling. Monarchpaw, mischievous and free-winded unabashedly tackles Sunpaw, trusting her to stay quiet, and the lioness abides, despite having just been, well, attacked! I think their future threads could be even more interesting.
