A look into how the other clans feel about Mapleclan’s odd way of life.

I made it a text post bc it’s so wordy but idk how i feel about it, oh well

Transcript below cut bc I the format isn’t great and it’s confusing to read.

Duckpaw: Hey Rainpaw, you do the dare yet?

Rainpaw: …yea, I did…

Brackenpaw: aaaand?

Rainpaw:

Pouncepaw: Rain?

Rainpaw: She and Glintstar were arguing…

Brackenpaw: Whistlestar?

Duckpaw: NO WAY!

Pouncepaw: Keep your voice down! Rain, explain.

Rainpaw: Glinstar said Mapleclan is up to something. He was really mad, I thought they were gonna fight!

Pouncepaw: The fox dung they did!

Brackenpaw: They don’t like that we invite in outsiders, Scorch said they chased her here.

Duckpaw: That’s so messed up, she was a kittypet!

Pouncepaw: Well it doesn’t matter what they think, we do what we want.

Rainpaw: …till they attack us over it.

Brackenpaw: They wouldn’t…would they?

Pouncepaw: Either way we’ll be ready.

Rainpaw: We should get some sleep, I got dawn patrol. G’night.

Pouncepaw: ‘night.

Duckpaw: Goodnight.

Brackenpaw: Sleep tight.

AYYYY it’s been a while!

It’s the birthday of this blog so I figured why not post again! I get nervous about posting in fear of hate that hasn’t and doesn’t exist so in trying to overcome that I’m using this as a reason to start again. I also may or may not have added a lot of stuff that wasn’t going to be here 5 months ago but oh well!

Consistency is dead on this blog!

Also ignore the lil maples the order never really mattered

Do you have any tips or recommendations for someone who wants to make their own comic based on their ClanGen save?

Hi! I answered this about a month ago when I was early on in JuniperClan. I'll cover stuff I didn't cover there, or that I've learned from experience.

Now your mileage may vary on this, but

Play the Whole Story Through

What I mean is, if your clan is going to have a story for 100 moons, play those 100 moons and take an agonizing amount of screenshots.

Not only do you know the ending, but you can hint to the ending or future events early on. You can also play around with your pacing -- If you think a character should come in a few moons early to participate in an event that would shape their character, you will have ample room to figure out how to do that without mucking up the story or making it confusing.

I'm aware of my pace, and know that JuniperClan is going to take over a year to complete, likely. That leads us to ...

Accommodate Yourself

If you don't have storytelling knowledge or are unsure if you want to tackle a huge Iliad of a cat story that could take years, just do a little 30 moon mini comic (or novella!) and see if it's to your liking.

And while I had covered it in my prior writing ask, emphasis mine upon:

INTERACTION

Make friends. The Clangen community is pure and untouched by most discourse. It's just people playing God with pixel cats. You don't have to be besties, but comment on your mutual's work and build up a repertoire. I remember the usernames of the people who comment on my work and I always like talking with them. I joined a Discord Server and while I am not very active it is very inspiring to see other people working on their own.

The only other thing that comes to mind is writing dialogue. If I'm alone I'll talk to myself and see if the dialogue sounds natural and genuine. I'll be driving to work and have a whole conversation from the comic repeatedly to try and get the language right for each character lmao it looks insane

Thanks!

Hey cragfreckle are you thinking about taking on an apprentice?

[mapleclangen]

Appledusk, can you do a backflip?

Hope the text is legible here I’m posting the rest of the asks

[mapleclangen]

CaterpillarPaw, let's say, a kit gets dropped off at your camp, and a moon after, an eagle appears looking to grab the kit for food? what will you do? do nothing or try and get the kit back to the ground? Because I see that you refused to do something that included an eagle. [Really want to ask the cats :'>]

I’m so sorry to anyone that sent an ask

I don’t know how tumblr works and thought they’d show up in activity (which they do but only one did) so I had no idea until now. But now that I know where they are I will be answering them!

Y’all were probably so confused im sorry 😣

I’ll try and answer one with a doodle tonight
