Editorial


*hands out coffee and doughnuts* On behalf of all the other neopians and I, we just want you thank for all of your hard work that you do for the Neopian Times! Do you have tips or suggestions for those still waiting on a weewoo avatar for next year? ~ marbear_4u
*munches on doughnuts* Originality is the biggest thing I can stress. I get lots of weewoo entries for example, and most of them are good enough to be in a normal issue, so try to find an interesting angle that is different from others! Also, quality is key! Double check grammar, spelling, capitalization, width/length for comics/written pieces, etc. With so many good entries to choose from, little things like that are a quick way out.

Came back here after a hiatus of a few years to notice the Evil Things and Monster Sightings board isn't on the Neoboards anymore, nor is the Other Worlds board. Why did they get removed? I always loved hanging out at ETaMS. ~ joystar725
Hi! So over time some of the boards have slowed down more than others. We removed and combined some to try to consolidate where people are hanging out to get them a bit more active again. Check out a new board and find some old friends, and hopefully make some new ones!

I recently created a new side account and adopted several neopets out of the pound. One of these neopets had a petpet attached. At first I thought I'd just leave it be, but then I looked the petpet up and found out it was valuable. Can I sell the petpet if I tranfer it to my main first, or is this considered using a side account to cheat? P.S. Please remove my username. ~ username removed
Hi! You adopted the petpet, it's yours to do what you want with! If you transfer it to your main, you can sell it if you want to.

I'm a frequent contributor to the Neopian Times, and thought that for my future submissions, I'd do collabs with other players. The thing is, I'm really generous, and would write 99% of the article, while the other player would submit maybe 3-4 lines. Is this considered cheating? Will the other player get in trouble with TNT if it's known that they only contributed 3-4 lines? The players that I talked to on the Help Neoboard think that my generosity veers towards helping the other player to cheat. Thanks for answering this question! ~ indulgences
Hi, collaborators are meant to reward users who were essential to the creation of your piece. Having another user add a couple sentences to help boost their trophy count isn't what it was intended for, and we hope users won't take advantage of it by using it that way.

Last week you had someone ask re: the Folk Ixi Neckpiece saying they couldn't find it. The problem is, there are two spaces between Ixi and Neckpiece. Could you prod someone to fix that? :) ~ jawsch
Done! Fully searchable and easy to find!

*Happy Thoughts

Heya TNT! Please send my kudos to the artist who designed the water Skeith! The wings and the tails are absolutely gorgeous, and for the first time in my long time in Neopia, I'm now considering getting a Skeith of my own. Thank you for the amazing new content you keep providing! ~ alpha_dersecest

The Spirit of Black Keep: Part Nine
Pharazon had no idea what to say. This was the moment he and Celice had been dreading, and although Pharazon had put on a brave front earlier, now that it was actually happening, the only thing he could think of to do was, perhaps, hide under the bed. But fear kept him rooted to the spot.

KATIPO I: Restart: Part Five
You can see farms on the hills where future knights do their morning chores, and you can see castles in the distance where heroes plan their next journey. The fields of flowers seem endless, and the bright-coloured flags that dot the dirt paths to and from the neighbouring towns seem almost surreal in their mystical beauty.

Chasing Treasure: Part Two
Midnight came. Midnight went. Half past midnight came and went. At seventeen minutes to one, Sam appeared, bow tie hanging untied around his neck and shirt sleeves rolled up to his elbows.
