*Blushes* Why thank you...Maybe one of these days my "gifts" will be put to good use...


I would like to stick with an F word preceding Feline as I think it would work best, but what word to chose?

Yes! Unless we got married and I know a few people who would object to that.

Not that I think that I will be rewarded with a personal title within years (considering my post frequency and quality), but I'm a bit curious. Is there an actual limit in post number that you have to pass? And when have you that's been rewarded gotten your title? What's the "record", both in time on The Downs and in posts, for someone to get a title? I really envy you all!

And Valier, just some thoughts... How about:
Fallen Feline (dark and foreboding, like it should be on the downs )
Furry Feline (a bit cuter, as are the next)
Friendly Feline
Frantic Feline
Former Feline (again, a connection to our undead society)
Feared Feline
Forsaken Feline
The possibilities are endless!

If I ever get one, I'd like to connect my title to something balrog-ish. Something about shadow or flame maybe... How about Shadowed Silhouette? Or maybe Soaring Shadow, because they can soar, can't they? What do you think? (NOT if they can soar or not, but tips for a title...)

#Gosh that is true..I had forgotten. Fey in Scots usage can mean doomed to die (but who isn't eventually and we are all dead here! ). However seeing the effect you are having Val...I'd suggest Feline Femme Fatale!

Thanks for mentioning that, Volo. I hadn't even noticed until now.

Congratulations on the title, Nogrod!

Might be...

But mainly it's about music and the creation - the creation of music in the first instance. That is so much of me.

But it really took its time. I went all over again with different possibilities and asked a hundred fellows here about what to do with it.

In the end Spm was right. The right one came at the "last minute" and just felt right. I had many candidates for it, one of the last was "Apple from Turin's tree", kind of relating to the Finnish origins of the story of Turin in the Kalevala, the Finnish folk epic Tolkien knew very well and from which he took many of the elvish words from (like Silmarils - being derivative from the Ilmarinen, the smith of the epic and so forth) - and which origins Rune already doubted (thanks Rune for your perspective!)...
