Why Jhudora is the Best



I know what you're thinking. "What kind of a crazy person would ever like Jhudora," or maybe, "This must have been a mistype. This person must have meant Illusen." Are you thinking these things? Because if you are, you are wrong, wrong, WRONG! Jhudora is the best! What, not convinced? I'll try to help you understand... First of all, Jhudora actually LIVES in Faerieland, unlike those deserters, Illusen and Taelia. I mean...

What do you pick? What should you spend neopoints on instead of plot points? While I can't help you much when it comes to picking gallery items and wearables (those you have to pick on your own, I'm afraid), I can help you with one huge aspect of the plot point store: turning your plot points into neopoints.

Making Your Story Fly


How are you supposed to write a good story if you don't care what happens to your characters and you don't like the plot? You can't.

"It's just the three of us," Von Roo said in a dry, menacing voice as he looked at the tray, and Jhudora nodded.

"Forever and ever. The only power Lady Sandstorm has left in Neopia is to keep you from going to sleep if you keep talking, silly Aldie..."

"Card Quest" by dragon10044
"You're wrong if you think you can't do anything with a collection of Neodeck cards." The ends of Sil's scarf fluttered on the wind as the cloud Shoyru continued dealing out the cards on the table, spacing them so that the character featured on each card could be seen. "We'll need another player... hm..." Sil looked around, and saw a translucent head sink down under the cascading golden fountain. "Aster, is that you?

"Sil! What are you doing?"

The cloud Shoyru looked up from the picnic table he sat at, Neodeck cards spread out in front of him.
