It is time for OTM nominations to begin. There are a few rules to follow and a short form to fill out if you wish to nominate characters for Relationship Of The Month.

1. You MAY nominate your own character in a relationship with another member's character.

2. You may only nominate one relationship.

3. Do not nominate a relationship multiple times. If the relationship you want to nominate has already been nominated, either choose another relationship to nominate or wait until voting starts after nominations close to vote for the characters you wanted to nominate. I will delete posts that include a nomination for a relationship that has already been nominated.

4. The ROTM title cannot be held for two months in a row, if the relationship you wish to nominate held the ROTM title last month, they may not be nominated this month.

5. Relationship Of The Month encompasses any sort of relationship your cats might have with other cats, not just romantic relationships. This includes, enemies, frenemies, friends, 'bros', siblings, parent-child, as well as mates, and any other sort of relationship you can think of. However the relationship must be between only two cats at a time, so no love triangles or anything including more than two cats can be nominated, sorry.

Please fill out this short form if you wish to nominate someone.
[b]Names:[/b] The name of the characters you wish to nominate. (There should only be TWO.)
[b]Relationship:[/b] What is the relationship between the two characters?
[b]Reason:[/b] Tell us why they deserve to be ROTM. It can be anything, but try not to be too silly about it ;)

Post your short nomination form below. Nominations will end on Saturday, March 23rd and voting will start on Sunday, March 24th.

Names: Gracklefire and Roughthroat
Relationship: Mates
Reason: In their first thread together, Gracklefire and Roughthroat "shared a nest together" out of Roughthroat's primal physical attraction and Gracklefire's desire to give birth to a litter of kits after hers had passed on. Though the relationship started off on a bad foot, Roughthroat quickly recognized how self-depricating Gracklefire had become after her relationship with her mother and former mate and found an emotional connection with Gracklefire from it. From that connection, the two found love and have continued to support each other as Gracklefire expects their first litter of kits.

Names: Smokefur & Spiriteye
Relationship: Flirtatious
Reason: They only had/have one thread together, but I really like the dynamic between the two cats. It's fun to see a flirty medicine cat, and especially fun to see her turn the tables on a notorious flirt and throw him completely off his game. In addition, I also really like seeing cats who won't be in a relationship flirting with each other, as a lot of the time most of the flirtatious/romantic interactions on this site seem to be the True Love Forever type.

Names: Ratfur and Oakpaw
Relationship: FailPatrol mentor - apprentice
Reason: They haven't actually interacted that much in threads yet but what they have so far is already highly amusing. Oakpaw in his optimistic innocence sees Ratfur as the greatest warrior ever, which only further proves to Ratfur that his apprentice is a complete idiot since Ratfur has no delusions about his abilities. I'm really looking forward to playing these two together more and seeing how they further develop as the FailPatrol.
