There *is* (or was) a faction for Sydney, called the FoSiLs, i.e. "Friends
of Sidney Lambert".  (The spelling of his name's a bit wonky because people
at the time didn't realize it was supposed to have two Ys in it.)  They had
a website at one point, and took part in some of the early wars.  The
members were--nominally at least--fans' cats, plus a few other species of
pet.   In the wars, people would make two sets of posts, one for themselves
with their own faction, and one starring the pet in his/her own adventures.
I'm not sure why the FoSiLs stopped, unless it had to do with stricter rules
for wars at the height of FK fandom, when many more people took part.

Perry has the distinction of belonging to *two* factions.  The
Perry-hounds--for whom the name Perry-A was also suggested--are for Perry
himself.  However, he is also part of the Woof Pack, along with Raleigh.
(As far as I know that's Perry *and* Raleigh.  I don't think anyone has ever
essayed Perry/Raleigh *slash*; but where fans are concerned, you never
know.)

I've not even started a Perry-hound or Woof Pack icon yet.  Hoever, I've
*tried* making a FoSiLs icon several times, and always been frustrated in my
efforts.

One problem with the FoSiLs is the fact that Sydney appeared in only one
episode, and is rather small in the pictures.  I've tried hunting up a
picture of a cat of a similar colour, and eventually used one of a marmalade
cat with the same markings, which I turned grey.  The trouble is not the
colour:  it's just wasn't a very good picture to start with, either!  I've
been wondering if a *stylized* drawing of a cat might do instead.

Then, to go with it, I need something to symbolize the faction. If people
have ideas...?
