Congratulations Becuffin and Craw!

Of the Month Winners for April!

So it was literally just a month ago that Becu won MoTM, and here we are again! Becuffin continues to demonstrate insane activity with her characters and incite some interesting plots with her characters. Just when we thought Morganna had finally secured Willow Ridge Becuffin pulls the rug out from under us and her character is off to bigger and better things, reviving the same suspense we get from reading books. What'll she think of next? Becuffin has also been super helpful in taking the "night shift" over in Australia, helping out members while the rest of the Western staff is sleeping. We're always grateful. Enjoy the limelight!

Five months and we find our selves back here again: Craw has been busy, readying himself to reclaim the WoTM (the second shortest span of time since Ice back in 2012). Last time we spoke I had a lot of questions about Craw, namely "Will he turn on Morganna?" So far the answer appears to be no, and instead the pair have become mates with the intention of leaving Willow Ridge and starting a life somewhere else. My second question back in December still stands, though, and I'm sure we'll all fairly certain that there is much more to Craw than we see, even if we have seen quite a lot in the past month. Craw has done an admirable job meeting all the wolves of Willow Ridge and managing to create a more or less positive relationship with each of them. Craw is definitely one of the best written characters on the site, definitely contributing to the exciting plot twists that keep us on our seat. Congrats, Craw!

Congratulations Becuffin and Morganna!

Of the Month Winners for March!

So it's almost no surprise that Becuffin took MoTM for March, seeing as she made well over 100 posts, completed six breeding threads --four of which were for Morg. Becu, despite having two crazy children was able to really stir up some trouble IC and take advantage of the breeding season in a way that no one has before. On top of that, she's a fun presence in the chat and always tries to help out when she can. We look forward to seeing what other crazy stuff you get up to!

Morganna Archer. What to say? Somehow during the month of March she managed to parcel herself out to four different males and is currently in the process of securing her throne for sure. In the last month, Morganna has shown herself to be a very threatening player of the game of thrones, plotting with all the males of Willow Ridge to overthrow her uncle. Basically, you look right and Morganna is coniving with someone, look left and there she is hammering out the details with someone else. But the real question is: will it all go according to plan? Can she keep Willow Ridge or will it all blow up in her face? And, of course, what will be done about the other pregnant Willow Ridge female, Hecate, a direct threat to her own cub's safety?
