Hi everyone!

This October we will continue our tradition of opening StarClan and Dark Forest threads to celebrate Halloween. The threads will be opened the week preceding Halloween (October 24th through November 1st). Other than the exceptions listed below, all other rules of the website apply to these threads.

1. StarClan and Dark Forest cats cannot interact with living cats; events in the StarClan and Dark Forest threads cannot affect the living cats in any way.
2. StarClan and Dark Forest cats can be fully aware of events in the living world and cannot be injured or killed, but cannot have other powers. There can be no prophecies given in StarClan or Dark Forest threads.
3. Members who do not have any StarClan or Dark Forest cats may create one character to play in these threads. Do not post these StarClan or Dark Forest characters to the Character Updates Page.
4. Characters must have belonged to their owner at their time of death, i.e. if a character that originally belonged to you was posted as up for adoption and never claimed, you did not have ownership of them at the time of their removal from the pages and therefore cannot play the character in the StarClan and Dark Forest threads.
5. StarClan and Dark Forest cats remain the rank they were at the time of their death.

In addition to continuing this tradition, Spicy will be organizing an art exchange! This event will be run like a Secret Santa with the theme of paranormal/Halloween. All participants will be randomly assigned to each other and keep their giftee secret until Halloween, when everyone will post their drawings.

Spicy will be posting a picture for sign-ups on the Art Pages later this evening or tomorrow morning. All registrations must be sent in before the 10th. Anyone registering after that is not guaranteed to be matched with a gift-ee, but will be put on a waiting list in case anyone drops out or other members sign up late. On the 10th you will receive your giftee assignment, all drawings must be posted before midnight on Halloween.

Please only sign up if you’re certain you will be able to complete your drawing on time, we don’t want anyone to feel left out when they don’t receive a drawing.

If you have any questions, post them below, Spicy and I will answer them as soon as we get the chance. Happy haunting!
