The Storytelling Competition is notoriously EXTREMELY difficult to get into and there seems to be a very small group of the same users who get in every single time. I would like to plead with staff to only allow the same user to be featured in the Storytelling Competition once per story. This would align with the rules for the other creative contests, such as Poetry and Art Gallery and even the Neopian Times, that only allow the same user to be featured once per issue/theme. In the current story, there are TWO different users that have both been featured twice. There are a lot of players, including myself, that enter every single day and have never been featured. It is extremely frustrating and disheartening to spend hours on entries, just to constantly get rejected while others are getting chosen multiple times for the same story. PLEASE consider making this very overdue change to the Storytelling Competition.~barrelchic22 Hi there!
We always try to accept new user submissions when we can, however, there are multiple factors that also play into this such as the number of received submissions per day, whether the content is original/non-AI and the continuity of the plot based on the previous entry. Because Storytelling is spread out over two weeks, users may only win twice per story period. This is in line with other contests.
If you find your entry being repeatedly denied, please ensure you’re not using a third-party grammar or spellchecker as this can trigger our AI detection.
Thank you!

Salutations, TNT. A few of us over at the Pound Chat were having a discussion about trading an untaken pet name for another pet that already exists. Would this be against the rules? Can you neomail someone a list of untaken pet names as an offer on an existing pet? If they happen to like one of the names, could you -legally- trade them the untaken name for their pet? Please shed some light on this~anonymous Hello there! Pets can only be directly traded for other existing Neopets, for both users' protection. Since there is risk with offering untaken names that can possibly be created by ANY user within the time it takes to come to a trade agreement, we don’t recommend offering or accepting trades like this until the pet is actually created. ~~Fae
Hi TNT! Mutant Smiling Eyes Contacts are currently broken on every Mutant pet, they don't erase the eyes like they should. My pets would like to get dressed up with them but can't!~hamster_wolf After becoming board-certified and licensed Neopet Ophthalmologists we have now fixed this issue. Dress up is back on! ~~Luna
Hello TNT! I was featured in a comic in NT Issue 1031, alongside a Neofriend of mine and the comic artist. The comic artist was the one who submitted the entry, and when you click the NT Trophy on their lookup or search the NT archive for their username, the Comic will show up in the search, but when you search my or my neofriend's username, that comic never appears with our names on it. It's not a huge deal for me, since I have multiple NT Trophies, but this is my NF's first entry and when you click the Trophy on their userlookup, nothing shows up. It's like the Comic never existed to begin with. Is there a way to fix it? Taking into consideration that the Trophy count is corrent for us ... Please remove my username.~darkobsession Hi there! Sorry for the issue! We have looked into it, and your Neofriend should now be able to see the entry when looking up their username :) Thanks for bringing it up to our attention!

Hi TNT, I wanted to offer you all a nice cup of Rosemary Mushroom Tea, but I noticed a little mistake on the label. The description reads, "This strange tea actaully has mushrooms growing out of it...", but I think the correct spelling of the word is actually "actually".~astrangespirit Thank you for the savoury earthy tea! You are so right, so now we’ve actually gone ahead and fixed this!

Hello, TNT! Could we please get a separate tab on the News page for NC Mall news? Or have "Latest News" and "NC Mall News" side-by-side with separate scrollbars, perhaps? There are days where there is almost no actual news and the entire page just gets clogged up with NC Mall news. "And even more NC Mall news! But wait, there's even more NC Mall News!!" with giant images of everything. It's a bit overwhelming and it makes it hard to go back and find the regular news article you're looking for. Thank you for considering!~xantaquana Hello! Oof, yea the NC Mall News is quite lengthy these days… We have just implemented a quick fix for this. Check out the New Features page to see the NC Mall News has now been abbreviated! Hope this is helpful and less overwhelming <3

Hi TNT. I was wondering if you could fix the festive Skeith styles? The og festive, cocoa and tinsel all seem to only have a single eyeball. Its a bit disconcerting and likely problematic for the poor Skeiths. Thanks so much.~anonymous Hey there! It might seeeem like they have a missing eyeball, but the Festive Skeiths are just being extra sneaky-like, with that other pupil super squeezed in the corner! We’ll make sure they aren’t too sneaky in the future, though. 0.e

Hey all! I noticed that when my Xweetok tried on the new Smokey Guyliner, her eyes changed colour to blue.~mollyscribbles Thanks for writing in! We have fixed this issue so the guyliner should now enhance your Xweetok’s natural eye color 0__0 ~~Luna
Would it be possible to rezone the Elegant Feather Gloves to... well, Gloves? Right now they're both Right-hand Item and Left-hand Item, precluding my precious pet from holding anything while wearing them, and being layered over her hair. Please and thank you :)~sapphire_sapphic Hello and thanks for writing in! We have fixed this issue and now your precious pet can hold whatever she pleases while still wearing her Elegant Feather Gloves! Happy Customising!

Hi TNT! Do you know what would be perfect for summer? Prismatic Ice Bruce in pink, cyan and cream.~greyfever Umbra loves this suggestion and will definitely keep it in mind for the fun summer styles coming up! ~~Fae
HAPPY THOUGHTS
*yawns* I'm almost never up at midnight anymore, but on this night I was, so I gave up on the idea of sleep just to log in to Neopets on the desktop PC! There is remarkable improvement on the lag, especially in those first few minutes of the new day, when everyone races to get those dailies done! Thank you so very much!
I wanted to thank you guys for fixing the Desert Ixi girl eyes in the new animated format (which you can see in the NC Mall). I am so relieved. I was really afraid they were going to lose their special look. Thank you so much!!
