Quote of the Week


The Lever of Doom is like the Chocolate Factory of the Virtupets Space Station. No one goes in, no one comes out, but neopoints are taken at an alarming rate.


Cheerful for Grey Day



Each and every Neopet has the right to be filled with pride, joy and excitement upon the arrival of their celebratory day. In order to help our beloved Grey citizens celebrate their special day with the sense of fun and elation every Neopet deserves, I have tracked down some of the happiest items in all of Neopia. When presented with these symbols of joy and cheer, it is impossible for even the greyest of souls to prevent a grin from appearing...

Magical Healing Slorgs



During the panic and mayhem, an interesting topic came up: the healing properties of slorgs. In the confusion many cures were tested to try and shift the Scourgies. Some were proven to be successful, if only temporarily. Soup, goop and splints were just some of the cures that were attempted that for a short while shifted the barnacles that plagued Neopets. But as the day went on, one cure was proving to be more popular...

More Backgrounds on a Budget


I felt a strange need to continue the work I started.

"When Snorkles Fly" by charmedhorses
The poor little snorkle, who had been saving his allowance for weeks, looked like he had gone to Mystery Island and come back with the worst sunburn of his life.

He stood at the mirror, slightly dejected, but reminded himself – at least he even had wings! So Mork stuck his chest out grandly and turned to the faerie. "How do I fly?"

"Confessions Of A Musically Inclined Hissi" by pandora
I remember the day with perfect clarity. I was in my later years of Neoschool, a slimy slip of a Hissi with starry, shimmering scales and bright, golden eyes. I was new to the school in Neopia Central, but I was a brave, spiny thing who slithered onto the stage with startling confidence, my head held up high. "My name is Melody," I hummed. "And I will be singing Dream by Ursa and the Usukis." It all went downhill from there...

"Can You See the Rainbow?" by roboticc
The Acara had never seen a rainbow. Everything about the Acara was painfully grey. His fur was a pale silver; his ears drooped forward and his eyes were dark. The suit he wore was a drab shade of grey, his pale shoes polished to a shine. Every day he walked the grey stone path with his black brief case in his hand, disappearing into a dull office to reemerge several hours later. Then he would return home and pluck an apple that had lost its color from the tree...
