The Plot--Brainstorming

[~{.:Leaf:.}~]

Have any ideas for a sitewide plot? Post them here! We are open to any and all suggestions :)

[||Fey||]

Well the site is brand new out of the oven still but there are soo many posibilities. Depending on your personal preference there could be something out of the ordinary or you could remake and tweak the classic ideas. Rouge resistance, natural disasters, two-leg disasters, sickness, clan alliance/war, or even something like the feline version of the plague!

I tend to stray more towards the unique ideas that, probably have been done somewhere but they didn't go mainstream, involve all the clans. I've seen sites that have had hurricanes or horrible winters that destroy the clans and the struggle is to put them back together, or there is the possibility of famine/plague that would cause the clans to come together to survive. So many different ideas could be used.

The real question is what you as the owner would like. You made this place and it's awesome already so you get to choose the direction it goes initially. I'm totally up to help with the details if you have any ideas! I love to plot xD

A disease plot might be fun to play with. c;

I was also pondering for a bit, and was thinking of Hawkfrost in the original series. How he strove for power. Perhaps there were four cats from each clan that were extremely ambitious (to the point of Tigerstar-ambitious). They agree to strive for leader positions and, you know, the cliche "take over the forest" kinda thing. They meet up once in a while, and perhaps some cat, or a group of cats, could overhear everything? It could go many different ways but I think it would be interesting to act out. Every plot needs some bad guys, right?

I'unno just something I thought about during dinner, hehe.

It could be another Bloodclan like plot except their cats who have been wronged by the clans

There are the basic ones that are common such as:

Journeys (to avoid some terrible fate, etc)
Disasters (Storms, horrible winters, diseases etc.)
Wars (between clans, with a group of rogues, etc.)
Invasions (rogues, twolegs, other animals, etc)
Starclan involved (Starclan goes silent, Starclan is at war with itself, Starclan is dieing out, etc.)
Other Supernatural entities (Spirits attack the clans, Spirits attack Starclan)

These are just basic examples of all the most common ones I know, but sometimes its interesting to incorporate several elements of different ones, to make something unique. It all depends on what everyone likes the most.

[~{.:Leaf:.}~]

Perhaps we could incorporate them all in some way? Like, we could have the idea of a cat from each clan wanting to take over and they can use either a natural disaster or disease to fuel their cause as divine retribution? Or something?
These are all great ideas!

Maybe one evil cat could take over one of the clans and make it an anti-clan?

A new group of clans has come to the forest. each baring similarities to the other four clans. These cats beleive this land is to be their granted by their version of starclan. They beleive that they are the better. These clans are going to be the greatest fight that the clans have ever been through. 4 will become 8 and clash until they are only 4 once more.

Fireclan = Fernclan
Rockclan = Frostclan
Moonclan = Mistclan
Streamclan = Stormclan

Ehhh that seems kinda complicated, four more clans. That would be way too many clans to fill.
I have two ideas.

1. Some time ago, several outsiders were allowed to join the clan, due to supposed "signs" from Starclan. They have slowly risen within the clans, and are trusted and well-known within the clans. Suddenly the Medicine cats get "Prophecies" that foretell of great disasters, and the supposedly the only cats that can save the clans are those outsiders who joined. Really, they are an elite group of cats that is working together from within the clans to cause strife, they will encourage the clans to join together, so that they can all protect themselves easier, but in the end, the cats will try to establish themselves as leaders and advisors to the leaders, and convince the clan cats that they, the outsiders, should be put in charge. So the outsiders are now in temporary control of the clans..... and then we go however we want from there.

2. Or a kit is born in one of the clans, who can see visions, who can see the future. He/she has a direct tie to Starclan and is very important in the clans, dwelling for equal amounts of time in each clan, so that his/her power is not resticted to one clan. He/she is like an emissary, a peace-keeper and a Soothsayer, and is named Oracle. He/she helps the clans for several moons, but one day, he/she is kidnapped, and disappears. The clans blame each other for what has happened, and war is on the horizon. Starclan, frantic to find the one they have blessed, recruit one cat from each clan to go and find the Oracle.....and we go from there. So what does everyone think?

[sharptooth]

Number 1 The other just seems to make it focus specifically on those four cats.

[dreamer216]

There will always be cats that the plot is focused on, and the second focuses it even more, its almost inevitable. But I can always thik up something else if those aren't too good. I was just trying to be as original as possible. C:

I actually loove both of those Dreamer! I think that the first one would be loads of fun and the second one could even maybe have a few tag alongs like Squirrellflight during the journey to find midnight just to open up it up a little more for other people. Or maybe the first group fails and Starclan has to pick a new group to try and rescue the first?? I think those are pretty sweet myself. I'm a bit low on muse at the moment but if I can scheme up something half as awesome as Dreamer's ideas I'll let you know ^^
