The NTAA

The neopian times is surprisingly well written little news paper for one written by the miscellaneous and unpredictable people of neopia. It's storys are filled with alarming and amusing tales of love and loss, heroes and villains, and the everyday people that fill the world. The comic section bursts with quality humor and drawings. While the articles reveal life changing revelations on how to Bathe a Kadoatie. It is a wonderful newspaper and those who make it really enjoy writing and drawing for it…but they need you, the readers and critics.
This page is here to say thank you to our current readers, and to lure potential readers into the snare of the NT. The Neopian Times used to have a link to it on the front page. It doesn't any more, and as a result less people bother to read the Neopian Times, leaving the intriguing articles, amusing stories, and hilarious comics left unappreciated by most.
Neopian Times Readers Appreciation is trying to encourage more to read the news by advertising the Neopian Times on user lookups, shops and galleries.

- Write a letter of encouragement and support for the NT. It'd be a great help, even if it's only a paragraph. Like the ones here, and here
- Buttons. Make buttons. But I must warn you, if it's wider than about 310 pixels, it'll probably stretch the layout. And packmanite wouldn't want that, would she? xD
- Paste these buttons everywhere! Broadcast it to the world.
- If you're an artist, and feeling random, you could do a sketch to show your support, and we'll turn it into a botton, or something...*hmm*
- The highlights section will need some more suggestions. If ever you come across a really good article, comic, story etc., go ahead and post it.

Dear readers, Picture this: A young Acara comes running up the path to his front door, skipping over the crackes (he loves his mommy) stone. He's back from neoschool, so exited and proud about the cardboard weewoo he's made in Mr. Lupid's art class. He comes bursting in the front door, impatient to show his creation to his mummy. He hollers her name, hoping she'll come running. But nobody comes.

... "Hello?" He whispers into what has suddenly become a dark and scary home. Nobody answers, but from the living room he can hear the TV muttering quietly to his family. Hurt, the Acara storms back out the door and stomps deliberately on every single crack. The contributors to the neopian times are still young at heart (like all neopians should be :-P), they're the Young Acara seeking approval from his family. The unseen articles, comics, and short storys are the empty house.

There are many reasons to read the neopian times. The Neopian Times provides many helpful articles that will help you be come the popular, rich, famous, *fill in desired adjective here*, neopian you want to be. If you're comfortable with your self there are other articles to read that tell you about the short stories will provide you stimulus and amusement. While the comics will provide non-stop laughing!

The neopian times has broken stories that have revealed and forever altered the course of neopia's history, stories like, how the invisible tower became invisible, a recap and rediscovery of the lost deserts' history, [add one of your favorites?].

I know you don't want to be left out of all the wonderful things that happen in neopia. Who wants to be behind the times. Not me!

Dear artists and writers,
It's a long grueling process to turn you dream or story idea into a Neopian Times worthy submission. The only reward we get is appreciation from our readers, indeed, the Neopian Times is the only contest that does not give a regular reward to its participants. As I said in the introduction neopets used to have a link to the Neopian Times on it's front page, but with neopets 2.0 renovations TNT saw fit to remove the link. Now we must struggle to get our love, but struggle we will! So how can you help? There are many ways. The simplest is just taking one of the buttons we provide and posting it up somewhere for others to see. If you want to get more involved there is a section here. We always need more buttons, comics, quotes, and ideas.

Pacmanite made the layout. And because she made the layout, she also types her name first on the Contributors section. How self-centred of her!

Much credit goes to these people for letting us use their quotes in the making of the layout:

There, in the corner of a room, was a rocking chair moving by itself. BOOM-BOOM. BOOM-BOOM. BOOM-BOOM. BOOM-BOOM. With each rock, it slammed into the wall...
–icesmith, "The Scary Story: Part Two"

Some kind of... thing with long, hairy legs had just crawled over his feet! It was far too dark to see just what it was, but Kaize fervently hoped that it was a simple Spyder...
– icesmith, "The Scary Story: Part Two"

Those eyes were bluer than the Maraquan seas and more understanding than the eyes of a mother. There was none of the expected savagery nor was there any malice, just a kind, intelligent look that was pleading for forgiveness, as if it was sorry to destroy the Siyana.
–macana, "The Quetzal Ring"

Avalon looked at the necklace. It did look a little different from other Noil Gems. The Noil was made of emerald, and the chain looked like it had been made of sapphire. There wasn't a single print on the glimmering surface, and it felt oddly warm in Avalon's hand.
–cpmtiger, "Avalon and the Emerald Noil Gem"

Jhudora wasn't the type of faerie who would knock on someone's door, so she barged in, flinging the door open with such force that the stone wall cracked.
– vanessa1357924680, "Roomies: Part One"

She shivered. It was a bad idea, she reflected, to run away from home. And to take the shortcut through the woods. And to trip and fall and be too tired to bother getting up...
–goosher, "Snowman"

There was no way that a snowman was moving towards her, dragging itself inch by inch. But, unmistakably, she could see moonlight glinting off the top hat, clear as day. There was no other explanation. She could hear her father's voice fading in the distance. It was the snowman.
–goosher, "Snowman"

Tiger helped launch this project!

Nina has offered unwavering support, THANK YOU!

Also thanks to all the button-makers (name list under construction).
