Darth's Neopian Times Petpage

Welcome, guest!

Hi! My name's Darth. You might know me from my Neopian TImes stories, or you may not, I was really just flattering myself there. This is a page dedicated to my NT stories, ongoing projects, goals…all that stuff.
~~UPDATES~~

I'm up to 41 times in the NT now; getting closer to my goal of 50 times! Yay! :D My latest published entry is "The Teacher's Pet", a four-part series about, literally, a teacher's pet. Wow. That was redundant. XD

Stories!

My currently-running submission is "The Teacher's Pet". I was on vacation and forgot it was running. So the day after I got back, I realized I forgot to write the Halloween short story I wanted to do, so I was typing it up like a maniac. The result was half of a less-than-satisfying story, which I gave up on. The second attempt, I finished, but it was rejected. I don't blame TNT. It was pretty crummy. THEN I remembered my series was running during the Halloween issue and maybe that's why the story was rejected. Silly me. :P

Works I currently have being held over by editors: er, none. *ashamed* But I'm working on it! I have my Christmas series all laid out and I'm ready to start typing it up. What I'm working on: A lot of series. XD Plus, I have a ton of half-finished stories waiting for attention. Who knows when I'll make myself get to them. Have you noticed my horribly short attention span?

I'll put fan art here if I get any (but I don't write comics, so I am not really expecting any).

Typos throughout the NT

Everyone makes mistakes. Especially me. These are some of my worst typos in Neopian Times stories:
  1. In my two-part series, "Fruit Shakes", I miss-typed a character's name in one entire part. In the first part, the Skeith's name is Gregor. In the second part, his name is apparently Boris. 0_o Don't ask me where that came from.
  2. Of all places to have a typo, there's one in my tenth story. *facepalm* I originally named Avvie's brother "Milkain" in a vain attempt to create a fancy, medieval name. I changed it before submission to "Lisbond" but I missed one correction. And thus a previously unmentioned "Milkain" answered the door halfway through the story. Ugh.
  3. Would someone tell me what gender Kyruggi is? Because I've portrayed him/her/(it?) as both male and female in "The Start of a Bigger Story".
I'll add more typos as they pop up, because no matter how many times I re-read my stories before submission, I will always miss something.

Awards

Writing for the Neopian Times has tons of privileges, some of which include special addition prizes. I've sold most of the rewards I've received, otherwise they'd be in my gallery. My best rewards include: pink, plushie, and halloween paint brushes, a grey Meepit, an NT background, and some angry candy.

Goals

As aforesaid in my introduction, my goal is to be in the Neopian Times fifty times. That doesn't mean I'll stop after fifty, though! My other goal is to be in the 500th NT issue (UPDATE: goal achieved!).
