Writing Contest
Everyone knows that in Cats the songs are telling the story of particular characters. Tugger has a song, Skimbleshankes, Grizabella, Old D, and more. Of course, not all the cats get their own songs. This writing contest is to write a song for all the rest. You can create music for it or just have it in verse. It can be sweet and simple like 'Jennyanydots', or sung by others like 'Macavity.' Positive or negative, it must have good reason and feel as if it could be a part of another year's Jellicle Ball. If your song wins then I will use it my large fan fiction that I am working on (giving credit to you of course). Next to the list of cats is a short bio that should be considered when writing (the bio is of course my opinion that shall appear in the fic). For help, read some of T. S. Elliot's other works to get a feel for his style, or listen to ALW's other musicals for inspiration. All cats have extensive histories that I've created and other interactions with OC cats throughout their lives. The more questions you ask the more accurate your songs will be. However you can do a completely cannon song as well.
Cats that need songs
Admetus - brother to Pounce, orphan, enjoys acting quite a bit, very silly
Alonzo - son of Demeter and BJ, looks up to Munkustrap
Asparagus - son of Gus, brother to Jelly
Bombalurina - older sister to Demeter (might be nice to do a shared song with the two)
Cassandra - used to live in Egypt, friend of Exotica
Coricopat - male twin to Tanto (might be nice to do a shared song with the two), can predict bits of the future
Demeter - younger sister to Bomba (might be nice to do a shared song with the two)
Electra - one of Macavity's daughters, smart and untrusting
Etcetera - hyper, steadfast, always cheerfully
Exotica - used to live in Egypt, friend of Cassie, possesses magic (she's Misto's mom)
Griddlebone - Growltiger's mate, a bit of wickedness to her
Jemima - old soul, connection to the Heavyside, beautiful voice
Jellylorum - a lillie cat (like a gumby cat but she works during the day), caring but strict, used to be quite the sexy queen
Munkustrap - son of Old D, responsible, dignified, a born leader
Plato - slightly androgynous, clever but odd, mated to Victoria
Pouncival - brother to Admetus, orphan, shy at times but wild at others
Tantomile - female twin to Corie (might be nice to do a shared song with the two), can create witch-like spells
Tumblebrutus - son of Alonzo and Cassie, rambunctious and concerned with being manly
Victoria - amazing dancer, polite, mated to Plato
You can enter as many times as you want, for as many different characters or multiple entries for the same character. Entries should like this:
Your Name: (you can use an alias if you please but what you put down will be what you are credited as if your song wins)
The Cat(s) in the song:
Who sings it: (The cat him/her self or another cat/s) If the songs is from earlier in their life or later (young cassandra or older pounce) and you want to know of the OCs around that time email me and I can tell you who is in their life...or you can leave this section up to me.
What time is it sung: (later in life, earlier in life, the ball after Grizabellas, the ball before)
Your song: (if you don't want others to read it yet you can email me and just put the email subject here and a note saying it's been emailed)
Any other notes:
Your entry should be titled: Entry - 'your name'
If you have a question make sure your post is titled: Question - 'your name'
